Old Chief Moo-Se-Mo of the Chip- pewas, came very near being made a “good” Indian at the depot here on Thursday. {fe and ~Humphy,” a Mississippi chief, were on their way to Washington, and had stepped off the train to shake hands with some of their acquaintences. While thus oc- cupied the train started and both In- dians made a rush for it. T{tumpy” made connections all right, but Moo- Se-Moo fell mght under the moving train. A number of men were stand- ing near, and the old chief was pulled out of danger before anything more serious than a cut on the head result- ed. As he was assisted up, a knite avout a foot long fell out of his pocket, and this implement was taken charge of by Marshal McCormick. When the Indian -had regained his feet he wanted to borrow back his knife long enough to stab Manager Bueneman of the Itasca Mercantile company, claiming that that gentle- man had pushed him off the plat- form. It was only after the marshal threatened to cutthe Red’s head off that he finally became pacified and submitted to being put on the train to continue his journey, Sell the Old School House. Several taxpayers have suggested the advisability of selling the old school building and having it removed from Central school grounds. As it stands now it mars the appearance of the lawn and for that reason it is ob- jected to by many. ‘Ihe board has no other place to putit. In time the old Luding might be used, but there is no probability that more room will be required for some tme to come. A vacant building is always liable to destruction by fire but it would hardly pay to carry insurance on it, Itis said that parties in the village are ready to purchase the building ata reasonable price if it should be offered for sale. ‘The school board does not care to assume the responsibility of disposing of this property without hearing trom the taxpayers. By petition aspecial meeting of the school dis- trict voters could be called and the matter considered. ‘The building orginally cost $2,900. Coming Secial Mappenings. It 1s some time since our people had an opportunity of enjoying a good card party, but they will not have much longer to wait as Arbutus Rebekah lodge will give one at K. of P. hall on ‘Tuesday, Nov. 15. In connection with the card games a lunch will be served, consisting of pumpkin pie, doughnuts, coffee, etc. ‘There will also be the usual head and foot prizes given at the close of the evening. All are invited and all at- tending are promised a good tme. The Ladies of the Maccabees are making great preparations ior their grand Phanksgiving ball and supper, for which invitations will be out in a few days. This will be one of the social events of the present season as the. ladies are ambitious to. make a reputation ior themselves. The time chosen is an ideal one, and Village hall shouid be filled to overflowing. County Board Meeting. , The board of county commissioners will transact business officially at the auditor’s office on Wednesday next. This will be the first meeting held since the county legislators were call- ed to order on August 4th to consider the proposed appropriation of $2,000 to aid in the establishment ot manu- facturing enterprises, etc. In the meantime there has been little going on inthe way of county work except that done under the supervision of Commissioner Myers in road repair- ing. These bills will be audited and acted upon together with other routine matters. Unless something unlooked for comes up there will not be auother meeting until the begining of the year 1900. Look Out For Fire. This is the time of year when the fire warden most needs to attend to his duties. Everybody is putting up their heaters and the warden should see that the village ordinance concern- ing carelessness in having defective stovepipes or inflamable material in their vicinity is strictly enforced. We understand that the warden appomted by the department is at present out of town but it might be the part of wis- dom for Chief Fuller to delegate some one to attend to these duties until his return. Posteffice at Blackberry. Orra M. Harry last week received notice from Washington that a post- office had been established at black- berry and that he had been appointed postmaster. The new office will be located at the new general store of Mr. Harry and will prove a very con- venient thing for the settlers in that vitinity. Everyone will.also be pleas- ed that the postmastership went to the gentleman mentioned as he will be in a position to give the best possible service. Game Warden Here. Executive Agent Buetner of the fish and game commission 1s going at it in a manner that promises to put a stop to the illegal slaughter of game and fish in this part of the state. Besides the regularly appomted deputies he has enlisted the aid of a great many citizeris who wili report any vilolations of the law that comes to their notice. ‘The selling of large quantities of deer and moose meet to the lumber camps will no longer be tolerated, and a sys- tem of detection has ben established that will bring many a violator of the law to the bar of justice. It should be remembered that the person who buys meat illegally killed is as much guilty as is the one who does the killing. Who Wants the Credit? Says the Carlton Vidette: George Fergusson, the murderer from Grand Rapids who was in the Carlton coun- ty jail for several days this week, said to a Vidette reporter that-he would deem it a great favor of him if he would state in the paper that C. L. Pratt, Fergusson’s attorney, was en- titled to all the credit in his case, and not Wm. Windom ot Duluth, who 1s having so much to say about it. We believe in giving credit when credit is due, but fail to seé how anyone could crave credit for saving the neck of a cold-blooded murderer hike Fergusscr. One Lady munter. Mrs. Lucy Leeman of Laprairie is 1s the first, and up to date, the only lady who has taken out a license in Itasca county to hunt. Mrs, Leeman isa good shot and can perforate a deer or moose as readily as any ex- perieaced hunter ime the county. brick F. Rhodus of Chicago is the only nonresident of the state who has yet paid $25 dollars license fee. Altogher there has been 150 licenses issued. Auditor Farrell has deputized J. A. Quigg of Veer River to issue licenses to hunters. Raised the Little Eagle C. E. Leeman is a handy man to to have in the county. In his line he has no rival, During the, past few years he has successfully moved every building in this vicimty that should be moved besides transplanting all. of Deer River and almost wiping La- prairie off the map. Last week when the ssteamer Little Eagle was fifteen feet under water he was appealed to. It only required one day for Charky to put her affoat. The little steamer is now in.as-good condition as ever. MeKenzie-Brooks Marriage. Last Tuesday’s Duluth News Trib- une contained an announcement of the coming marriage of Rev. D. A. MacKinzse of Grand Rapids and Miss Myrtle Brooks of Duluth. This happy event will take place on the 2znd of next month. New Logging Firm. Johnson & Patterson is the name of a._new logging firm that will put in abcut two and a half millions feet on Swan River this season, employing about thirty men. The members of the firm are Ed. Johnson and Robert} y, Patterson. Rs a Matter of Fact. It may be stated as a matter of fact that Cable has about the most com- pletely stocked cigar case in town. Of course good cigars can be procured elsewhere in the village, but no one keeps a better assortment. When you get a “Tom Moore,” “Henry George,” ‘“ Chancellor,” ‘ Lafayette,” or “ Booth’s Boquet,” for ro cents or the “Corona Imperial,” 15 cents straight, you are getting the very best that can be had for the price, Cable’s display of candies can’t fail to attract your attention. He carries a choice line of hgh grade goods that are guaranteed by’ the manufac- turers to be absolutely pure. Have you tried his “ Butter Cups? ” They are something new and everybody likes them We can’t mention everything in Cable’s store, but his teas and coffees are certainly deserving of notice. Just now there is a big run on his ‘ Com- bination” brand of coffee at 25 cents. It is preferred by many who have tried it to Moca and Java, and there is more ot it being sold than any other although Cable cares a variety that ranges 1n price from ro cents a pound to 40 cents.. Ask for the “ Compina- tion ’” brand if you haven’t tried it yet. When you come down town this af- ternoon just take a look at the win- dow display in the market department. it may be a little late in the season to expect half-grown chickens but they will be found at Cable’s today, just the same. He always tries to offer something out of the ordinary for a Sunday delicacy. He has a lot of his own raising that will have a very delicious appearance as they will be fashionably dressed and exhibited. New oranges ate just out, and Cable has them. He also has some choice lemons, bananas, grapes and pears. His oysters can’t be beat very well, because he gets the best that are offered for sale. Butter is ’way up in price these days, but he has some good dairy butter, just received, that 1s within the reach of all as to price.
