THE BEMIDJI D VOLUME 11. NUMBER 147. EDMUND GOULDTO BE REINSTATED Buspended Postoffice Clerk Will Be @Given Back Position Taken From Him During Investigation WILL RETURN TO WORK HE SAYS Information Received From Washing- ton Gratifying To Dismissed Clerk —Date Of Return Not Given As had been expected since the confession of Clayton Colard, the 18 vear old mail carrier, whose story cleared Edmund Gouid from the charges on which he was held, in- tormation has been received from Washington to the effect that che suspended clerk will be returned to work. At no time since the confession of Collard has there been any doubt as to wether Gould would be given his position again, it being be- lieved that it would be only a mat- ter of time. . While no official notice has been ziven Gould, informing him of his return to work, the postoffice of- cicials have been notified and they in turn have told Gould. In the letter which tells that the suspended man will be reinstated no date for his return to work was ziven, nor was a salary named. Gould said this morning that he would return to work as soon as the proper orders are received from Washington. It will be remember that seyeral months ago, soon after Gould’s re- turn from a two weeks vacation, he was arrested and charged with hay- ing taken money from' registered letters. He was immediately sus- pended from the service, to await in- vestigation. ¥ e Tae evidence against him seem- ed to be overwhelming and even his best friends were doubtful as to weather he would be successful in his attempt to prove himself not guilty. Then came the confession of the youth. He had pretended to be Gould’s friend through the entire trouble, but when he saw the gates of prison walls clowly closing upon the innocent man he could not re- frain from telling the truth and it took but little work of post office in- spectors to draw the whole truth from him. Collard is now held at Fergus Falls. YOUNG PEOPLE TO GIVE PLAYS Have Selected Friday Evening as Date for Performances. Three short plays will be given by the Junior Dramatic Club of St. Philip’s church Friday evening at the Grand Theatre. The “Delin- quence of Imp”” the ‘Babler” and “Julia” are the plays which have been selected and on which the young people who will take part have been practicing on for the past several weeks. Fifteen and twenty five cents has been set as the ad- mission price for these plays. Al- though these short plays will be played only a few days after “Finni- gan’s Fortune” was presented the young people believe that they will act before a packed house as the two plays are entirely different. TO OPEN ROLLER RINK MacLachlan To Manage Popular Winter Sport Roller skating will again become a popular sport this winter as W. B. MacLachlan, manager of the Be- midji Athletic quarters will open a rink in the large hall next Wednes- day Light. Skates are now being re- served for the evening and special arrangements are being made for the crowd that is expected to attend the firet evening. A orchestra has been e¢ngaged to furnish music for ‘ne opening. As the club members will have pcesession of the armory sev- eral nights through out the winter Mr. MacLachlan has selected Wed- nesday and Sunday evenings for skating.

Is Crying Need. The construction of several har- bors on Red Lake has been a crying need for the past five years and to- Jday the demand is greater and more urgent than ever. - The fact that thousands of ‘set- tlers have flocked into this undevel- oped country during the past three years' has commanded the attentiom of congressman Halvor = Steenerson, who has brought the matter before the Washington session and as a re- sult secured the appropriation of $5,000 for investigation purposes.

The system in use at the pre!ént time of shipping freight into the in- land towns in Northern Beltrami county is an extreme hardship upon the residents of this section.
