Austin was at once rushed to the hospital where an operation was per- formed and it was found that the in- testines had been pierced in eleven places.

PRODUCTS SOLD IN NEW YORK Are Marketed Entirely Through the General Offices of the Sybil Car- ter Association. Indians of the Red Lake agency will have exhibits at the Beltrami county and state fairs this fall it plans put under way today by Agent Dickens and several Bemidjl men are carried out successfully. Tt™is pro- posed that the Indians have an ex- hibit of industrial work and other products at both the county and state fairs. Lace making among the Indians at the Red Lake agency has increased since Miss Beatrice Johnson took up her residence there last January. The reservation formerly had a resident teacher but from the time of her death until the arrival of Miss John- son, the Indian women had no in- structor. Miss Johnson is also ac- tive in nursing the sick, teaching cooking, etc, but puts in several hours a day teaching the lace work. The lace work is done under the direction of the Sybil Carter Lace as- sociation of New York city. Sybil Carter was a resident of St. Paul Who became interested in Indian work. She was a member of the Episcopal church and was made a deaconness by Bishop ‘Whipple. For twenty-five years she worked among the Indians and it was while engag- ed in this line of activity that she organized the lace association. The association was organized in New York with some wealthy women as backers and the work it super- vises is now carried on in every res- ervation in the United States. All of the lace made is sent to New York and sold there. On an average over $200 a month is paid the Indian Wwomen at the Red Lake agency for their work. Miss A. L. Smith is the present secretary in charge of the general offices of the association and she is now on a tour through the Minne- sota reservations inspecting the lace work. Miss Smith is now at Red Lake where the women are using the Mex- ican cut work. At Pine Point the women are making bobbin lace and at Leech lake they are making needle point lace. At White Earth, the ‘women are making all three kinds. If the Indians bring an exhibit to the state and county fairs, such an exhibit will undoubtedly include samples of the lace work. As yet it is too early to know whether or not there will be special premiums for Indian work, but they will be elig- ible to compete with all other resi- dents of the county under any eir- cumstances. School Bonds Are Bought. At a special meeting of the schoot board Thursday, the $6,000 issue of bonds recently voted by the city were sold to A. Norris, of Princeton, IlI.
