Editor A. G. Bernard of the Walker {Pilot arrived in Grand Rapids las evening. He reports that Walker i: not particularly overdone with bus- iness these days, but a few of the best of them are kept on the jump enter- taining the numerous visitors who are enjoying the beauties and pleasures to be found on the shores and waters of Leech lake. 2 The village council made a conserv- ative estimate and at the last meeting set aside $800 with which to take up outstanding orders. Later in the sea- son, it is hoped, another dividend may be declared for the same purpose. The present council are desirous of paying up every dollar of indebted- nes possible and at the same ume pay cash forall necessary current expenses. The delay of the trains this week, owing to the washout of about seven miles of track, did not. cause any great amount of inconvenience, con- sidering the amount of railroad dam- age done. We missed three regular mails and Attorney McCarthy’s Fourth of July speech, but incidents of this kind only serve to lend _ great- er enchantment to the luxuries when they do arrive. Word was sent down from Deer River Thursday to Dr. Rosser stating that Andy Catelwood had broken his leg, and requesting the doctor tocome up on the evening train. He was un- able to leave a Grand Rapids patient, and Mrs. Rosser went to Deer River and had the patient sent to Duluth for treatment and care at her. hospital there.

Mid-Summer Ball at Village Hall, Twenty-Third. July The Ladies of the Maccabees, or- ganized in Grand Rapids last March, has become one of the permanent fraternal orders of the village, and one that will command a large member- ship in time. In connection with its social and fraternal features is the more substantial element of life and | disability insurance. Those who have investigated the objects of the order and the cost of membership agree that the L.O. T. M. presents advantages over any other similiar organization in this country. The local hive has a membership of twenty, and an effort is soon to be made to increase this number to at least fifty. The first public entertainment to be given by this new order will take place at Village hall on July 23, when the ladies will give a dance and _ supper. Atthe meeting held on Thursday, proper committees were appointed to look after the details, and it was un- animously agreed that their first ball should be made one of the most en- joyable social events that Grand Rap- ids will know this year. The best music that can be secured will be em- ployed for the occasion. Tickets will be sold at $1.00. and_ refreshments served for the small sum of 25 cents to each couple. FOUND DEAD BY THE TRACK. Jack MeLeod Dies by the Roadside Below Laprairie. Last evening about 8 o’clock the section men brought the remains of John McLeod to Grand Rapids on a handcar. It was evident that the man had been dead several hours as the face and body had become entire- ly black. ‘The corpse was discovered by Elmer Brock at 2 o’clock _yester- day afternoon lymg about six feet from the railroad track, two miles and ;a half below Laprairie. There were no marks of violence on the body ex- cept that blood had flown from the ears, nose and mouth before death. There was considerable speculation among those who viewed the remains on the handcar, as to whether death was caused by lightning, exposure to the heat or foul play. McLeod had left Grand Rapids in company with George Mack Thursday forenoon about ro o’clock. The two intended to walk to Hibbing. ‘They had been drinking before leaving town; and stopped at Laprairie until about 2 o’clock in the afternoon, when the two strapped on their tussicks and started down the line. When about two and a half miles below the village McLeod refused to continue the jour- ney and his partner, Mack, proceed- ed on his way to the first farmhouse where he stopped for a drink of water and remarked that he had a partner who would shortly be along. Coron- er Ehle viewed the remains this morn- ing and concluded that an inquest was unnecessary, as McLeod had evidently come to his death from acute alcoholism. The remains were taken care of by Undertakers Rich- ardson & Stevens, and were buried im Potter’s field this morning. Mc- Leod had worked in the woods of Itasca county fora number of years and was a well known character here- abouts, George Mack has not been heard from since the death of his partner was reported, and it is likely that he continued his journey to Hibbing. An Indignant Chief. Chief of the Fire Department W. V. Fuller walked into the Herajd- Review office on Tuesday and author- ized the editor hereof to “rcast’’ thé vandals who called out the depart- ment on Monday night while celebra- ting the first hours of the glorious. The chief was very indignant and did not hesitate to express himself in unmistakable terms concerning those who hada handin the alleged fun. It may not have been known, but it is a fact, that the offense is punish- ahle by heavy fine and imprisonment, and Mr. Fuller says that a repetition of the act will be followed by arrests and prosecutions to the full extent of the law. And heis right. The fire bells should never be trifled with. One or two ‘‘joshes’” would result in virtually destroying the companies. When the bells ring it should be known to all beyond any speculation that there is a fire and the men are wanted immediately. It is not very pleasant to be called out of bed at 12 or 1 o'clock in the morning to gratify the hilarious feelings of a few “‘jags.” Superintendent Graffam. “It has been reported that Cong- ressman Page Morris has recommend- ed E. A. Arnold of La Prairie to su- perintend the cutting of the dead and down timber on the Chippewa Indian reservation in northern Minnesota,’’ observes the Mississippi Valley Lum- berman. ‘‘A Grand Rapids paper, however, states that the report is not true and that Mr. Arnold’s chances are very small. The paper in ques- tion also urges the appointment of H. E. Graffam, who until recently con- ducted a newspaper at Grand Rap- ids.” It is said by those who are. on the inside that Mr. Graffam has been endorsed by the congressman from this district, and if that is true he will no doubt receive the appoint- ment. Mr. Graffam is well qualified to fill the position, as he has had seyv- eral years experience in handling logs and lumber and understands the trade trom a toz. On the other hand Mr. Arnold has no more knowledge of logging than John Goodnow has of Shanghai. The Boys at Brainerd. In summing up the recent contest among northern Minnesota marks- men at Brainerd, the Dispatch of that city has the following to offer concerning the team from Grand Rapids: “The Grand Rapids boys who came to Brainerd by the way of the Mississippi river and returned via Walker, Leech lake and Leech river, making nearly the entire trip by wa- ter, were all royal good fellows and succeeded in capturing several of the best prizes, andin order not to let anything escape, Dr. Brown of the party dropped down into the last notch in order to take the $5.00 purse offered for low average and it might also be added that a quantity of li- quid refreshments was also awarded to the genial doctor on the same score.”” GLORIOUS SUCCESS (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) chivalry of all, the region around about, which, added to the superb decorations, the blaze of lights, the ravishing Euterpean strains, at once proclaimed it to be Pleasure’s favonte haunt and the occasion for its full enjoyment such as is rarely accorded to the sons and daughte:s of man. Many celebrations of our nation’s natal day have been more pretentious in the matter of. pomp and spread- eagle display, but fora genuine old- fashioned 4th-of-July love-te: it 1s doubtful if the one just ] has ever been equalled in the Northy It was a repetition of the lovingly remembered observances of that day in the long ago, vividly recalling the keen delights of childhood days, when all cares for the nonce were laid aside and unalloyed mirth and enjoyment for the time being held unquestioned sway. The deafening roar of improvised cannon, the discordant clangor of bells and the petulant pop of thous- ands of those 4th-of-July abominations and young America’s delight — the pernicious fire-cracker—supplemented by the maudlin cheers of the belated reveler, who ever joys to “vex with mirth the drowsy ear of uight,” at the ghostly hour of low twelve last citizen with indisputible prooftthat “the day we celebrate” was with us once again. The phenomenal skill displayed by Charhe Marr in the shooting tour- nament was a source of genuine sur- prise and wonderment to his chigrin- ed competitors, who up to that time had been laboring under the delusion that, in successfully demolishing blue- rocks—at least so far as Charlie was concerned—they were “the only hot potatoes on the coals.” Holmes’ immortal poem, “How the Old horse Won the Bet,” was forcibly called to mind by the appearance of several of the nags that participated in the running race; however, the comparison between them and_ that historic equine ended there, it is need- less to state. The mortality incident to the at- tempted slaughter of the blue-rocks by the gun club was of so trifling a nature as to be scarcely worth record- ing, but the reckless manner in which the blue empyrean was punctured is shocking to relate. The initiation of a number of verd- ent “tenderfeet” into the mysteries of the “old army game,” with conductor Mike Flynn as master of ceremonies, was a leading attraction at the Pokeg- ama buffet in the evening. Major Dan Doran’s unique aggre- gation of black pearls was one of the principal features of the parade, and was a faithful illustration of scenes in hfe among the lowly “’way down in Alabam’ afore de war.” The Deer River contingent was with us and thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.
