Richard Bohler died at St. Bene- dict’s hospital in this village on Thurs- day. He had been ailing buta few days and only went to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon, ‘The deceased had been a resident of Deer River during the past year, coming from St. Paul, where his relatives now reside. One time he was a bank clerk in that city. ‘Ihe cause of death was dropsy of the heart. Interment was made in Itasca cemetery, and the remains were accompanied to the grave by a number of trends from Deer River and Grand Rapids. While George Moody was celebrat- img the. glorious .Fourth. at Grand Rapids, some unknown .party or par- ties were celebrating with fireworks at his homestead house located at the east end of Pokegama lake. When Mr. Moody returned home he wasn’t “in it’ Nothing remained but a heap of ashes. Itis evident that the premises had been burglarized and robbed of al! valuable contents before being fired. ‘The loss will aggregate about $150. Sheriff Tyndall 1s giving the matter some attention, and devel- opements may be looked for soon, Good Work by Leeman. Road Overseer W. D. Leeman has just: completedsa job of corduroying atthe west?#pproach of Prairie river bridge that-wasemuch needed. For a distance’of thirée or. four. rods the road was impossible and the mud was so deep as to endanger the limbs of horses drawing loads. The work is well done and is a credit to the over- Minn., where he will remain several days.

The town ‘supervisors are putting the town hall in condition for use by the members while in session, and.to be occupied by the clerk of the board. The building is a very substantial one and was bought for $90. from the village of Lapraine, A convincing evidence of agricul- tural growth in this vicinity is shown by the sales made this week by W. J. and H. D. Powers, hardware dealers. During the week they have sold six mowing machines and considerable other farm machinery. Rey. D. A. MacKenzie entertained the members of the Junior Endeavor society with a picnic at Lover’s point yesterday. A luncheon was served and the youngsters enjoyed them- selves immensely picking blueberries and fighting mosquitoes. If there are those who. entertain any doubts about Itasca county as a grass-growing region, they should take.a look at Shernff-Tyndall’s farm on. Pokegama. He: has a field of several acres of red clover and timo- thy that absolutely cannot be excelled. Commander Millette of B. F. Huson post, G. A. R. and othe members, are making arrangements for an outing of two or three days at the Trout Lake resort.

We stop the ‘press to announce that Attorney Frank Price bought a package of gold «dust, stole a mop-rag and deliberately went down on his hands and knees this forenoon and scrubed out his office. Early this af- ternoon the attending physician was hopeful of his ultimate recovery. seer. ‘The xoad leading to Trout lake‘ts ina most abominable condi- tion. If there is any possible way of securing funds to repair it the com- missioners should stretch a point to doall in their power. Bridges to Fix. On the county. roads near by the village in many places there are sey- eral small bridges and culverts that need repairs. One of the culverts on Pokegama toad is ina dangerous con- dition and the township may be called upon to pay for a horse or two. ‘The smal! bnidge just west of the town on Bass Lake road is also in need of a plank or two. The bridge over the swamp on Clark’s cove road is in bad shape at both approache. ‘There will be very little expensé atts ched to the work required, but it stouid not be neglected any longer. IN MUNICIPAL COURT. Quite a Busy Time Has Judge Holman With Sunday Offenders. Last Sunday evening Marshal Mc- Cormick was called to make peace at the house occupied by James Morris and family. lt appears that Mrs, Morris made the complaint. Her husband was under the influence of hquor and with rifle in hand he cleaned out the household with murderous threats. The husky marshal took the offender to jail after being convinced by the story ota neighboring lady that the allegations were true. He, was found guilty before Judge Holman, who im- posed a fine of $25 and costs or sixty days in the county jail, At present he 1s still paying the tine with days. _Frank Sullivan and Mike Murray were trying their skill in the manly art of self-detense on the street. last Monday when the marshal interfered anc led the boys away ‘to conceal- ment. ‘Ihe next day Judge Holman discharged Murray and fined Sullivan $5 and costs, a total of $11.12, which sum was paid. At the same time Archibald Danforth was found with a slung-shot on his person and an. incli- nation to use 1t on Murray with in- tent to do more or less bodily harm, He was gathered in and the court taxed him $5 aud costs—$15 in all— or 30 days in acell, He is putting in his time. R.S. Dawson was atrested Thurs- day afternoon by the marshal for in- Gecent exposure on the public. street. Yesterday the court. imposed a fine}. of $25 and costs or 4o days in jail. In detault of the ready cash he was committed. DAN GUNN’S TOWN. Charley Mitchell of the Alexandria Post- News Sizes Up Grand Rapids. ‘The editor of the Post-News, pub- lished in Knudt Nelson’s. town—Alex- andria—was one of the warm mem- bers of the editorial excursion party that visited Grand Rapids recently. Charley Mitchell, the atoresaid editor, isa petit little fellow, as tull of “go” as alive electric wire, a royal entertainer and.a first class newspaper man who has made a success of the business. But while this was not his first intro- duction to our ex-representative, he appears to never have fully appreciat- ed Dan’s conspicuous personality un- til the editors and their wives sat down to that magnificent spread fursished at Hotel Pokegama. Following is the way ke tells about it in his paper: “There is another ‘Cracker Jack.’ It has lights, waterworks, Dan Gunn, sewerage, the Mississippt river, water power, mills, Dan Gunn, big hotels, is the center of the lumber trade and is pay town, it has the largest and hand- somest school building in the state outside the cities,a $60,000 ccurt house and sherifi’s residence, Dan Gunn, Catholic school and hospital, a state experimental farm, Senator Mc- Carthy who some day will go to con- gress, two good newspspers, two 1m- mense department stores and many others, pretty homes and_ picturesque scenery and Dan Gunn, We were at Gunn’s hotel. He is a rapid fire weapon of large calibre and his house 1s that kind. We hada banquet and dance that night. It was a jolly good time and next morning Eastman*went fishing. Ifthere was any place he could find a bit of water to drop aline in and also someone to go atong and row the boat and bait his hook, he always fished. Whether he caught anything or not no one. knows, but if he did the other fellow would have had to bring it home. Grand Rap- ids was most cordial. ‘The next morn we visited the state farm which is lo- cated on rather light soil to show what that country can do agriculturally when properly worked. ‘The faim under Mr. Chapman is giving yalu- GRAND JURY REPORT. Inadvertantly the Official Returns Were Not Published. Somehow the grand jury report failed to tind a place in the columns of the local press at..the conclusion of deliberations for the Juneterm. Itis better late than never, however, and we give it below in full: State of Minnesota, County of Ttasca—In District Court, 15th Judicial District. Official report of the Grand Jury of Itasca county.

We find at the poor farm, the buildings to be of spacious proportion, clean, and we compliment the present management of the poor farm and the appurtenances thereto, in the management of suid farm and poor house.

HA AD KNOCKOUT BLOW Delivered by Governor Lind in the Miller Controversy. VETO OF SENATE FILE NO. 24 Senator Miller Completes His Retrac- tion—His Further but Weak- ling Attempts to Bolster Up His Case. Press Reform Bureau. No event of the administration of Governor Lind to this point has per- haps been of so great interest as the action taken by the governor regard- ing the Miller warfare on him for the veto of Senate File 24, the bill mak- ing proceedings before the grain and warehouse commission court records in cases of appeal. No party, or fac- tion of one, was ever driven into so ridiculous a situation as the Republi- can party, or such elements of it as were misled into attack on the goy- ernor in that case. As stated last week, Senator Miller in the Ruck County Herald retracted the buse charges he had made against Governor Lind, on receipt of the gov- ernor’s demand theretor, and the sebator, as promised, published the governor’s letter in full, ‘Che sena- tor in doing so made a show of de- fending his pusition as to the opera- tion of the measure, bub his state- ments were spacious and without ef- fect, and iu most cases where he quoted wuthorities or opinions they were without name or identity, which weakened or nullified his ctfurt. Wide publication has been given Governor Lind’s communication, it having been published by the state press generally, regardless of politics, asignu of fairness that is not usual, Few papers have been rabid-enuugh fo refuse-this courtesy to the gover- nor, iu a matter of suv tnuch concern. Numerous Kepublicau papers have borne down hard on Senator. Miller fur, as they charge, misleading them both as to Ube facts and the effect of the action for which Governor Lind was criticised. As it was the charges of unworthy motives that led Governor Lind to able results. {depart from his usual! course and give attention to the case, we herewith give the terms in which Senator Mil- ler made his full and explicit retrac- tion, as follows: In bis issue of June 23, upon re- ceipt of the governor's demand, Sen- ator Miller said: “The statement made in these col- umns June 9 respecting the Great Northern Railroad company, and any other statements whith have ap- peared in previous or subsequent is- sues of this paper to the effect that the action of Goyernor Lind in omit- ting to sign Senate File No. 24 was in any way influenced by that compary orany of its officers, is hereby re- tracted.” In his next issue, publishing the governor’s letter, he said: SENATE FILE NO. 24: “After reading the letter of Gov- ernor Lind, published elsewhere in this issue. ‘The Herald is conyinced that the governor vetoed Senate File No. 24 under au honest mistake. as to the legal effect of the bill. Being so conyinced The Herald makes an ab- solute and unequivocal retraction of every statement in any issue of this paper which directly or © indirectly charges or insinuates that Governor Lind acted corruptly or was actuated by improper motives or that he was influenced by any individual or cor- poration in omitting to, sign Senate File No. 24.” * Ps The responsibility of the Luverne Herald in leading its Republican brethren astray is thus, expres*ed by Senator Miller’s contemporary, the Luverne Journal, (Rep.,) of which W. H. Workman is the editor. The Journal says: “Tf there is any one in the. Repub lican party in position to know the truth or falsity of the statements published, it was Senator Miller, hence tbe article in question was taken as the truth by the Republi- caus and many. Democrats through- out the state, and it was. published by Republican papers and generally circulated asa fact that the Great Northern Railroad company. influ- enced the governor's action in the matter. In fact. one paper» dubbed him the ‘Great Northern Governor.’ It must be very humiliating to those who have circulated the report to find ut that it was not true and had no foundation in fact.” Tho Ladies’ Friend The annual Pilgrimage. to St. Anne de Beauprey will leave.
