GRAND JURY IS RAPID Completes Work in Slightly Over Two Working Days—Five Indict- ments In. J. M. REED WAS FOREMAN A new record for quick work by the grand jury was made by the one which adjourned yesterday afternoon at 3:30. The jury commenced its business on Tuesday at 1:30 p. m., taking a little over two days. In that time it returned five indictments, five no bills, examined the county build- ings and made a report to Judge Stanton. In discharging the jury Judge Stanton commended it for its rapid work. J. M. Reed, of Black- duck, was foreman. Yesterday afternoon, Charles Swanland, charged in one of the in- dictments with murder in the first degree for the alleged killing of Dav- id Wistrom May 13, in the town of Shotley, was arraigned before Judge Stauton. He took the statutory time in which to make his plea. Arthur Kenyon was also arraigned. He is charged with grand larceny in the second degree and robbery. The first charge grew out of the alleged steal- ing of a rifle and revolver from John P. Johnson in the Rapid River coun- ty on April 20. The second grew of the his alleged taking $50 from Charles Knutson at the point of a re-| volver on April 19, This crime was also committed in the Rapid River country. John Biggs, of Nymore, charged with petit larceny, had a “no bill”’ returned. No bills were returned in the Blackduck saloon cases which had been sent to the grand jury from the municipal court. The following men had been charged with selling liquor to minors: A. Couchon, A, P. Bouh, Alfred Heft and J. I. LaBarge. MRS. J. JOHNSON CONMITS SUICIDE ESAge IS g (By United Press). Chicago, Sept. 13.—“Suicide while temporarily insane,” was the verdict returned by the coroner’s jury yes- terday on the death of Etta Duryea Johnson, wife of the world’s cham- pion pugilist. The morgue where the body lay, and in which the inquest‘was held, was crowded with morbid curiosity seekers. Johnson himself burst into tears while testifying at the inquest. He made the remarkable statement that he ‘believed his wife’s nervous afflictions had their origin in worry over his condition for a year after the Jeffries fight. “I was not myself for a year,” said the man who conquered the white vace, the tears streaming down his cheeks. “My condition was a secret between me and my wife. She had an awful time taking care of me. It ruined her health. It is time this was known in justice to her.” BAND CONCERT TONIGHT. Program, Friday, Sept. 13, 1912, 1. March—On the Frontier. .

(By United Press). Lagrande, Ore., Sept. 13.—Colonel Roo: elt made a picturesque entry into the interior of the Northwest to- day. delivering one of his character- istic speeches to a crowd of 6,000 at the Union county fair here. Members of the orders of Moose in uniform escorted the colonel to the fair grounds where he hobnobbed with four cow punchers. Among them was John Spain, the world’s champion “buster,” who came in off the range to whoop it up for the colonel. The Taft forces planned to have John M. Harlan, one of their cam- paigners delegated especially to trail Roosevelt, answer the colonel imme- diately after he had finished his speech. The fair management refus- ed to allow Harlan to speak, howev- er, and also ejected a Debs orator who inteffered. COUNTY FAIR TODAY PROGRAM FOR TODAY. EVENT NO. 1.

Judges will decide the win- ners. There will also be a horse race at 2 p. m. The parade of prize winning stock will come between two of the above events. A parade of all the prize winning live stock at the county fair has been added to the list of attractions for the fair this afternoon. It is the first time in Beltrami history that anything of this nature has been st- tempted, but the fair managers say that the large number and high quality of animals shown warrant them in having the parade. No definite time is set for the parade but it will come between two of the auto races. B As a second additional attraction, the managers have provided for a horse race that will be run off at 2 p. m. No regular horse races were listed this year for various reasons but the call has been so insistent that one will be staged this after- noon. Yesterday’s attendance was a pleasant surprise to the board as more people were on the grounds than the same corresponding day at any other Beltrami fair. The treas- urer reported that he had taken in $220 in gate and grand stand re- ceipts. The managers look for a rec- ord breaking crowd this afternoon, providing that the weather is fav- orable. The rain last night laid the track in good shape, Judging of live &stock continued yesterday afetrnoon and this morn- ing the judges continued their work.

MANY FLORAL PIECES SENT Arriving at the funeral just as the friends of Vint Ellis were taking their last look at his face, William Ellis, of Staples, narrowly escaped missing a last look at his brother. Mr. Ellis is a railroad man and was out on a run when his brother died. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church, Reverends ‘White and Flesher _ofliclating. The Elks and Bemidji band attended in bodies and went to Greenwood with the funeral cortege. Floral pieces of a pillow from the Elks, a harp from the band, a pillow from the printers of Bemidji and a harp from Harry Masten, of Grand Forks, were received and placed on the casket. A quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Warfield, Miss Lizzie Erickson and S. J. Harvey sang three hymns during the services, the first was “Face to Face,” the second was Mr. Ellis’ favorite “At the Cross,” and the third was “Abide with me.” Each of the ministers made short addresses. Before the casket was placed in the hearse, the top was opened and friends allowed a last look at the face. DUMAS MAKING TWINE. New Prisoner Is Put to Work in State’s Plant at Stillwater.
