BLAGKDUGK WOMAN DEAD FROM RUNAWAY INJURIES Was Hurt a Week ago in an Accidental Overturning of Buggy—Burial In Brainerd. The following dispatch has been received from Blackduck; «‘After lingering on the brink of eternity in an unconscious condit- ion for nearly thirty-eight hours, during which time she gave no in- dication whatever of recognizing any one of those watching at her bedside, Maria Anna Roberts, wife of W. H. Roberts, proprietor of the Palace Meat Market, passed sas or west central Missouri, access- ible to the coal fields in those two states and central and southern Iowa; at a point in eastern Oklahoma, or western Arkansas, accessible to the coal fields in those two states; near Trinidad, Col., accessible to the coal fields of New Mexico and southern and central Colorado; at or near Salt Lake, Utah, accessible to the coal fields of Utah, western Colarado and southern Wyoming; at a point in southern Montana, ac- cessible to the coal fields in Mon- tana and northern Wyoming; in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania, accessible to those coal fields, and also the northern bituminous coal fields in Pennsylvania.” The first three rescue stations will be established at Birmingham, Ala,, Huntindon, W. Va., and away at 9:30 last Saturday morn- ing. *Mrs. Roberts’ death resulted from injuries received Thursday evening at about seven o’clock by being thrown from a light buggy just as she was turning the corner opposite the First National bank. She was returning to the meat market from a drive about the village and had just left the home of J. C. Parker where she stopped to allow Mrs. Parker who had just been enjoying a ride with her to alight. ““As she was nearing their place of business on Summit avenue J. L. La Barge drove up in his buggy and followed a short distance behind which seemed to irritate the horse driven by Mrs. Roberts and the lat- ter’s horse, according to bystanders, at once began to lunge and kick, and became unmanagable. In an- other instant the corner was reached and in making a sharp turn north on Main street the buggy was over- tarned and Mrs. Roberts was hurled to the ground in a terrible manner. One of the first on the scene was her husband who was almost overcome by the sickening sight. “Barely had she struck the ground before her inanimate form was picked up and tenderly carried to her home only half a block away, and both Doctors Koch and Osgburn were hur- ried to her side and upon examina- tion found that her skull was crushed, collar bone and ribs broken, also indications of internal injuries that left little hope for her recovery. “She will be buried in Brainerd.” NEW RESGUE STATIONS WILL BE ESTABLISHED New Federal Bureau of Mines Takes Step to Lessen Death’s Toll in great Disasters. Chicago, July 22.—A special from Washington says: “Announcement is made by the acting director of the newly created federal bureau of mines that nine new rescue stations are to be estab- lished, additional equipment is to be supplied to the four existing stations, and purchases are to be made of im- proved appliances for preventing mine accidents. The result un- questionably will be a lessening in the number of mine fatalities in the future. “The stations will be near to all big mines, so that in case of accident a rescue party can reach the scene promptly and render assistance. At present there are in operation stati- ons at the following points: Pitts- burg, center of the coal fie.ds of west- ern Pennsylania, northern Ohio and northern West Virginia; Knoxville, Tenn., accessible to the coal fields of eastern Tennessee, southeastern Kentucky and southwestern Virginia Urbana, Ill., accessible to the coal fields of Illinois and middle western Indiana; Seattle, accessible to the northwestern Pacific coast region. “The new stations will be located as follows: Near the boundary be- tween southern Ohio, southern West Virginia and northeastern Kentucky; Birmingham, Ala, which is access- ble to the coal fields of Alabama, southeast Tennesee and northwest Georgia; near the boundary between southern Indiana and western Ken- tucky, accessible to the coal fields of these two regions, and southern Illinois; at a point in* eastern Kan. Wilkes Barre, Pa. This announce ment was made today:by George Otis Smith, acting director of . the new bureau of mines. SPORTING NOTES 0’Rouke Hit on Head. Jimmy O’Rouke was struck on the head in the Columbus-Kansas City game of the American association in Columbus Wednesday afterhoon. He was at once taken to the hospital but yesterday morning was unable to speak or recognize any of his friends. Essick was the pitcher who threw the ball. The accident was in many ways similar to the one near the close of last season when Andy Oyler, of the Minneapolis team, was hit on the head by a ball pitched by a Colum- bus pitcher. Oyler was in the bospital for several weeks. Standing of the Clubs American Assoclation Won Lost Pet .. 64 33 .663 56 39 .589 53 40 .570 45 45 .500 48 461 51 .440 57 .394 57 .387 Indianapolis.

WAGE WAR ON ABGRIGINES Japanese Forces Making Some Head- way in Formosa. Victoria, B. C., July 22.—Further ad- vices of the little war Japan is wag- ing against Formosan aborigines were brought by the steamer Awa Maru. The Japanese forces are now building entrenched lines, with block houses flanking the “Formosans, the total length of the lines to date being 307 miles. Following the recent heavy fighting mountain guns have been taken in as well as machine guns and the moral effect of these has induced surren- ders of large bodies of ‘natives. The fighting is mostly in thick forests and mountainsides 3,000 to 4,000 . feet above sea level and there are difficul- ties in the way of using artillery. The Japanese are mounting guns on high hills, from which the native strong- holds can be bombarded. BAND GONGERT TONIGHT Will be Played in Dock Bandstand at Quarter After Eight. The Bemidji band will play its regular weekly concert tonight in the dock bandstand at 8:15. Pro- fessor Masten stated to the Pioneer that only one launch was running last week when Mrs. Matthews was singing and that she and the band appreciated the courtesy shown by those who stopped their engines. The program is printed again to- night so that it may be taken to the concert: 1. March—"Caesar’s Triumphal” —G. F. Mitchell. 2. Selection—"The Time, the Place and the Girl”—Joe Howard. 3. March—"Silver Bell”—Percy Wenrich. 4. Overture—''Poet and Peas- ant”—Suppe. 5. March «Kerry Mills tucket”—Kerry Mills, 6. ¢Seraph Concert Waltzes” —J. W. Lafferty. 7. Serenade Charles Rockwell. 8. Selection ‘Broken Idol”— J. B. Lampe, 9. March “I'm Bringing up the Family”—W. E. Mackie, ENGINEERS START ON TWIN GITY POWER DAM Nan- “Dreamland”— Will Furnish Cheap Current at Near Cost—Is Thirty Feet From Top to Bottom. With instructions from Washing ton to proceed with the wark, Major Francis R. Shunk, government engineer, has begun the erection of a 30foot dam in the Mississipfli river just above Saint Paul, from which power will be supplied for commercial purposes in the Twin Cities. Ten men are busy at the Minnehaha Falls location, changing machinery and making the necessary adjustments, According to the major, the bill passed by Congress, authorizing the erection of a thirty foot dam, did not appropriate any money for the work, but simply authorized the engineers to proceed. “We really do not need any money at this time” said the Major, “because we had-about $300,- 000. left when work was stopped and the question of -a high dam first arose. That money will last us a year, or more. The bill did not pro- vide for the erection of a power plant, but I have no doubt that will be arranged later. - The government will build the dam, sell the power, and it is essential that we have a power plant. We will not, however, erect a distributing plant, or set up any lines or wires. The cities, when they buy the power. will purchase directly from the power plant, and must make their own arrangements for its distribution.” BAGLEY BOY CRUSHED BY HEAVY GOAL WAGON Five Year Old Eddie Werme Fell Under Wheels Where the Driver + Could Not See Him. Bagley, July 22—(Special to the Pioneer)—Eddie, the five year old son of Hans Werme, while playing among some coal cars which were being un- loaded by Soo Railway freighters, accidentally fell beneath one of the bheavy coal wagons, one wheel of which passed over his right shoulder and his left arm beneath the elbow, mashing every bone in the parts over which it passed. The doctors hold out slight hopes of recovery, but at best he will be badly crippled. No blame is attached to the driver as he was unable from his seat to see the boy. LIBERTY ELECTION - MAY BE CONTESTED Town Divided by Old Feud Which Threatens to Break Out Over a New Question. TWO ILLEGAL VOTES CLAIMED TO HAVE ELECTED FRED HAYES Were Cast by His Mother and Father— Matter May be Taken Into the Courts Monday. Last Saturday afternoon, Fred Hayes won the election to the Liberty school board over Ole Jackson by two votes, the votes counting’fif!een to thirteen. As the the mother and father of Hayes came td Liberty to vote, some talk has been-started of conte‘sting the election. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes had a home- stead in Liberty and lived there for many years but on May 18 last, they moved over to Maple Ridge to be near their son. was held more than thirty days after they moved, those contesting say that their votes, which were thé ones that elected their son, were illegal. It is also stated that the election was called at 2 p. m. instead of 7 p. m. and that only twenty-eight- votes were cast when:at least seventy.five voters should have been present. The fight dates back many years and is a part of a feud_ that had been running in the town' for some time. Liberty is di w factions and if taken into the courts, the fight will be more bitter -than ever. ~One member of the board has threatened to resign if the election is not con- tested. ! According to the Minnesota law, the only man who can contest the election is the one who was defeated. Mr. Jacobson refused.to do this at present. Ten days are allowed under the present law for filing not- ce of a contest and the time will not be up until Monday. Those in- terested are working on the case and say that the matter will be taken to the courts if the possibilties of wnning are at all good. SAMARITANS INITIATE ¢ SIX NEW GANDIDATES As the election W. B. Henderson, of Duluth, in Charge of the Ceremonies—R. C. Hayner. Makes Short Address. At a regular meeting of the Modern Samaritans beld in the Odd Fellows hall last evening a class of six was initiated. The meeting was largely attended and the local organization feels greatly encour- aged over the interest taken in these meetings by so many of the mem- bers. . Among the members initiated was County Auditor Hayner, who was called upon to give a talk. Mr. Hayner proved himself equal to the occasion and his remarks were listened to with unusual interest. W. B. Henderson, deputy im- perial good samaritan, was in‘cha?ge of the - ivitiation ceremonies. ~Mr. Henderson is very popular with the local organization and efforts are being made to secure his services to address a meeting that is being con- templated in the near fu‘ure. The meeting will likely be held in the Armory opera house of this_city. A dance isalso being planned for some near future date. . Mr. Henderson left this afternoon for Grand Rapids where he will spend the balance of the month re- organizing the local council there. He has done much good work in Be- midji and in the Grand Rapids field LOGAL SALOONS ARE NOT IN NEW DRY DISTRICT Late Washington Dispatches Show Bemidji North and East of the Boundary. Several outside papers have been devoting much space and big head lines to.the fact that the Bemidji saloons are to be closed. Investi- gation in this city discloses ‘the fact that it is a remote possibility that the saloons will be closed. Late dispatches from Washington say that the new territory in Bel- trami county is west of Range 34 and south of the old treaty line. The east line of Range 34 is about two and one half miles west of the city limits and the treaty line runs along the county line four miles south of the city, and over into Cass county. This clearly leaves Bemidji in the wet district, and if the boun- daries in the dispatch are right, the possibility of closing the local saloons is veryaremote. Saloon keepers have taken steps to see that all possibility of truth in statements that they have not been living up to the law are removed, and have decided among themselves to see that no liquor is allowed to reach Indians here and that all saloons obey the Sunday and night . closing laws. OLD SOLDIERS ENTERTAIN Will Give Program For Citizens and Summer School Visitors. Members of the G. A. R. ‘and ladies Circle " will entertain the teachers and students of the sum- -mer echool-and-thc -—peaple of Re. midji with an informal entertail ment in the high school assembly room tonight 8 p. m, Some of the teachers and pupils are on the pro- gram for musical numbers, The entertainment will be en- tirely informal and no set program has been made out. The general public is invited. LARGE APPLE GROP WILL Double 1907 Production Predicted for Western Orchards—Forty Per Cent Sold. Spokane, Wash., July. 22.—Com- mercial orchardists, in Washington TEN CENTS PER WEEK. * Buyers for New York, Boston, Chicago and European houses have been active in the commercial apple districts the last 60 days and it is probable that 40 per cent of the crop has been sold at prices slightly higher than prevailed last season; but the growers in central Washing- ton will hold many until around holiday time. _WEATHER -TODAY, Temperature Thursday Friday A, M. 7 70 8 70 9 71 10 76 11 77 12 79 P.

I believe St. Paul will hayve the honor of entertaining the most distinguished large gather- cent years.” 7 PA!

BARKER'S SHOW WINDOW BLOGKADES THE SIDEWALK Display ‘or we conxum Fountain rem— Is Cause of Much Street Comment. A line seven deep and seven wide stretched their necks to get a glimpse at Barkers display window during the greater part of the day. It is a display interesting indeed and "nT HE““GE T“E PBIGES the'quartette will be used for special passersby cannot help but notice this window. In the center of the window are dummies, one representing the use of the new style Conklin fountain pen and the other the old style pen with it’s many faults, The illustra- tion is attractive because the dum- mies are continually kept in motion, and the advantagesof the Conklin pen over the old style fountain pen are clearly demonstrated. ‘The dummy demonstrating the use of the Conklin pen is-neat and clean, while the one using the old style pen is daubed and smeared with ink: The Conklin pen 1s a self filling pen made in one hundred different styles and sizes. There in the win- dow you will find every style and size you can imagine, It seems cer- tair that if you are interested in buying a fountain pen you could not give an excuse for not making | a selection, To fill a Conklin fountain pen, you simply dip the pen in the ink, press with the thumb and the pen to hold a big persentage of the| mechanism in perfect trim the ma-. |is filled. There is absolutely no crop and many will take advantage | chinery’ of preparation for the*second | chance to get any ink on your fing- ers or even to loose one drop of it. It also keeps the feed channels tree from sediment which prevents he clogging of the ink. The three most important things that can truly be said of the Conklin fountain pens, showing why they are better than other pens are, they fill easier, clean easier and write better. If there is anything that cannot be understook from observation through the window, Mr. Barker will be pleased to give you a detailed ex- planation. Board of Commissioners Adjourned.
