Powers’ coffees are particularly famous, he having a larger trade in this @m- modity than any other grocer in the village.

Opposite:Hotel Pokegama, GRAND RAPIDS. — 4 j ‘A SENSATION SPOILED Report Circulated Here That 'a Game Warden Had Been Muréered. THE COMMISSIONERS MEET Official Business of Itasca County Was Finished for This Year at Wed- nesday’s Meeting---Board Ad- journs Without Date. What at first promised to be another sensational murder to the credit of Itasca county was traced by Sheriff Tyndall to a eomplete failure. On October 21 the sheriff re- ceived a telegram from Executive Agent Beutner of the game and fish commission, requesting him ‘to go to the assistance of C. B. Hawley, a game warden who had been sent into this county to capture violaters. Mr. Hawley had not made his business known to many of our citizens, but the sheriff had met him. It appears that the deputy had captured fish nets in Pokegama lake and got into some trouble with Levi Lyons over the matter. He communicated with his superior at St. Paul,with the tele- graphic result above indicated. And then came another game warden who has since been in this immediate vi- cinity, but prior to his arrival Mr. Hawley disappeared and his successor nor anyone else here knew whither he had drifted. The last deputy also went out to Pokegama lake and stopped with « farmer who had received and fed Mr. Hawley. It was this farmer who started the rumor. fle knew of the difficulty over the fish net affair. Hawley left his place late Sunday afternoon, prowising to return. Shortly thereafter the farmer heard five pistol shots in the neigh- borhood. Hawley has not been seen or heard of since. It all looked sus- picious. The deputy to whom the tale was related informed Mr. Tyn- dall. The latter immediately in- terviewed the farmer. From him he went to Hotel Gladstone where it was learned that the missing man had paid his bill on Tuesday following the shooting incident; there the mat- ter rests. It-is at least known that the deputy warden was not murdered on Sunday, and it is quite likely that he is somewhere in Northern Minne- sota, looking for deer and violators of the fish and game laws, THE COMMISSIONERS MET. County Business Was Transacted on Wed- nesday and Thursday by the Board. The first_ meeting of the board of county Commissioners since August 4 was held on Wednesday and Thurs day of this week. All the members were present and Chairman Rellis called’ the meeting to order about 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. The most important business to transact was the regular budget of bills, and the board went into committee of she whole for their consideration. Each bill was gone over carefully and in- vestigated before tinal action was taken. Some reductions were made, some were laid over, but the majority passed as charged. Several applica- tions for abatement of taxes were presented. A short session Thursday afternoon concluded the business and the board adjourned witbuut date. Unless something special should come up in the meantime requiring im- mediate consideration this is the last meeting that will be held this year. THE VILLAGE COUNCIL Regular Monthly Meeting Held on Thurs- day Evening Last. All members of the village council were present at the regular monthly neeting held on Thursday evening at Village hall. Treasurer Aitken’s re- port was presented and read, and it showed a very healthy condition and is a pretty good indication that Grand Rapids is officered by a business coun- cil. The amount of money in the contingent fund when the last report was inade was $2,781.56. Cash re- ceipts since has amounted to $1,964.- 40, making a total of $4,636.96. The granted to Johnson & Gravt and ap- plications for licenses from. J. F. O’Connell and L. R. Root were re- ceived and ordered published. The street committee were instructed to look after the hydrants and see that they be put in good working order before Jack Frost gets his deadly workin. The next meeting will be held on the first Thursday in December. LAND COMPANY ORGANIZED. New Company With W. C. Gilbert as Presi- dent to Do Business in Minnesota. W. C. Gilbert returned from a busi- hess trip to Wisconsin, last Sunday. While at Wausau Mr. Gilbert asso- ciated himself with three other gen- tlemen in the organization of a land company under the laws of Wiscon- sin. The name of the new company will not be definitely settled until advices are received from the secre- tary of state for Wisconsin, as the one decided upon may conflict with one already registered. ‘The title selected, however, is “Gilbert Land Compapy.”? W.C. Gilbert of Grand Rapids, has been chosen president and the principal place of business will be in this village. The other gentlemen associated with Mr. Gil- bert are his brother, Chas. S. Gilbert, Chas. J, Winton and David N. Win- ton, all of Wausau, Wis. The new company will transact a general land business. Thé gentlemeu mentioned are all prominent in financial circles and have ample capital with which to carry on a large business. A TOUGH FINLANDER. Elt Neva Loaded Up on Bad Booze and Cre-— ated Quite a Disturbance. Eli Neva is a tough, harlheaded Fin and no mistake. Eli lives at Trout lake and Came in last Thurs- day to stock up. He succeeded ad- mirably and about 3 o'clock in the afterncon be had more vf a stuck than he could conveniently handle. He nade himself disagréeably conspicu- ous in MeDonald’s saloon, so much so, indeed, that Mike Morrison, the bartender, was compelled to put him out. Buthe didn’t propose to be put out and he fought like « wild cat. Eli was oatclassed, but he was gritty and no sooner would he be landed-on the sidewalk through one door than he would fight for entrance at the other. Marshal McCarmick finally took him in hand, but it required three men to drag him to the bastile after he crossed the bridge. He threw himself upon the ground and began to kick, strike, bite and swear. But Eli had to go, and yesterday morning Justice Barnard made it five and costs or ten. He took ten. Dan Smith, for being drunk ‘and dis- orderly is also serving out a} ten aays’ sentence. A DEPUTY APPOINTFD. Cherk of Court Rassmussen Names C. S. Jameson of Koochiching. Clerk of the Court Rassmussen bas appointed C. S. Jameson of this place a deputy, and as soon as the appoint- ment is approved by Judge Holland, the latter will be in a position to issue the ‘Declaration of Intention” or first papers to those wishing to be- come citizens of the United States, marriage licenses, etc. Clerk Rass- mussen, in a letter accompanying the appointment says: ‘I would have made this appointment long before this, but did not know. how we could keep the record.” Ordinarily the original is entered in the “record book” av the clerk’s office, and acertified copy is furnished the applicant. This becomes neces- sary that the records may be left complete. Heretofore the record vfa deputy’s work has been kept by past- ing an exact copy of the declaration in the “record book” but this method had a tendency to confuse the records, Clerk Rassmusson does not state how the difficulty is to be overcome, but we are pleased to note that he has seen his way clear to yrapt the favor asked by the residents cf northern Itasca.--Border Budget. New Meat Market. The Columbia meat market is now open and and ready for business. The proprietors, Messrs. Lehman & Ellis, are both well known and popular and amount paid by village orders was $1,501.42, leaving in the contingent fund $3,244.53. The other funds were reported as follows: general, $6.92; in- terest, $399.81; pacific county judg- ments, $313.41; G. W. Knox judgment fund, $109.98. This leaves the total cash on band $4,075.65. The report was ordered filed. Several bills were audited and allowed, liquor license was their market should enjoy a good patronage from the start. They will aim to use as much as possible the products of our surrounding farmers in their business, and anyone having anything that a meat market can use will find a sale for it by applying to them. This feature of the business should especially commend itself to our population... > | Jeffries is Awarded the Decision. Over Sharkey in New York Last Night. KILLED. BY A FALLING TREE Frank Sullivan Struck on the Head at Price Bros.’ Camp and Dies Iostantly--First Fatality of the Season in Itasea Camps. New York, Nov. 3.—{Special to the Herald-Review.]—James J. Jeffries is still heavyweight champion of the world, according to the decision of the referee in the fight between him and Tom Sharkey, at Coney Island Athletic club tonight. It was the hardest contested battle that has Leen pulled off in many years, and if it had been to a finish it is difficult to determine what the result might have been. It was a twenty-five round contest and the decision was on points. Both men were in good con- dition although badly punished when the gong sounded at the end of the twenty-fifth round when Jeffries was declared the winner. KILLED BY A TREE. Frank Sullivan Is Instantly Killed in One of Price Bros.’ Camps. The first fatality to occur in the camps of this vicinity took place yes- terday at Price’s camp in charge of Foreman Murphy, when Fran Sulli- van was struck by a falling tree and instantly killed. The unfortunate young man had been in the employ of rice Bros. about two weeks, coming from one of the Backus-Brooks Camps. The remains were brought to town and placed in the morgue. The par- ents of the deceased live in Minne- apolis and word was sent to them last evening. A prompt reply was re- ceived saying the father would ar- rive in Grand Rapids today. TOWN SITE IS SOLD, The Residents of Cass Lake Will Get Pat- ents to Their Purchases. A special to the Minneapolis Jour- nal from St. Cloud, under date of Nov. 1, has the following concerning the sale of the Cass Lake townsite: “The sale was attended by a large number of buyers from various sec- tions of the state and the bidding on the forty on which the town is located was exceptionally lively, bringing over $10,000. Lot one was purchased by the J. Neils Lumber company of Sauk Rapids, for its appraised value, $64.38. The southwest quarter of the northeast quarter and the northeast of the northwest and the southeast of the northwest, three forties, were bid in by Lewis W. Hill of the Eastern Mionesota railway company for $3,- 110. The northwest quarter of the northwest quarter was bid in by G. G. Hartley of Duluth for Sidney L. Wright of Philadelphia for $10,500. Hartley was also the highest» bidder for the southwest of the nurthwest, $4,815. The total amount sold was 2514 acres, which brought $17,994.38. The land was all sold and paid for and the receipts delivered betore dinner.” A special irom Washingten to the Same paper states that the purchasers will receive patents to their lands and that the only way in which the holders of scrip can regain possession will be by bringing suit for trespass. At the Presbyterian. Rev. E. P. Crane of Argyle, preached beth the morning,and even- ing sgrmons at the Presbyterian church last Sunday. The gentleman is here asa candidate for the. pastorate left vacant by the resignation of Rev. MacKenzie. The services were well attended’and all were very favorably impressed with the reverend gentle- man’s discourses. A meeting of the congregation was held at the close of the evening service and all expressed themselves as.in favor ot offering him the pastorate. Mr. Crane, besides being an eloquent pulpit orator, is personally a very pleasant gentleman, and should he be the choice of the congregation, he will be received with favor by our entire population Mr. Crane will occupy the pulpit here again next Sunday, when the matter of his retention will be definitely settled, W. E. Martin &-Co., the coal and wood dealers. expect t> have their steam saw in running order inabout a week. They wish to inform those having wood for sale that they will take it off their hands at good prices. THE BIG PRIZE FIGHT FOR THE CHURCH MUTINEER, Ian Maclaren Preseribes a Course of Treat- ment for Obnoxious Church Members. ‘‘Perhaps the most effectual system with the mutineer in the church,” writes Ian Maclaren in the November Ladies’ Home Journal, “is not scold- ing and storming, but a policy of isolation. As Nature makes a cyst and incloses any strange material so that it be kept separate from the body, let this man be imprisoned in a place by himself. If he should offer any remark upon church affairs, let the other person answer on the state of the weather; and if he criticise a sermon, say that you are sorry to hear of his dyspepsia. If he rises to speak at a church meeting, tet the silence be such as may be felt, and after he has spoken let the chairman call for the next business as if he had never existed. If he has to be spoken to, the best plan ig to treat him as an absurdity, and play around him with ridicule, for this will give much in- nocent amusement to other people, and it is the particular attack which he cannot stand. Between loneliness and laughter he will depart to another chureh.” The Camps Are Built. D.W. Doran arrived from the Doran & Dewey camps.in 60-24 last evening. He had been out about three weeks with a small crew of men building camps and making roads preparatory for their winter’s work. Mr. Doran says that he broke the record in camp building. Everything is now in reudiness for operations. They will have about forty men employed. One Good Trade, Dan McCormick, the Vermilion farmer, traded his prize teat of-black horses last week to Sandy Owens. The team was one of the most valu- able in Itasca county, and it is not surprising that they brought Mc- Cormick the equivalent of a thousand * dollars in property and $200 in cash. He received in trade for the team the Larson residence in this village, easily valued at $1,000, and two hun- dred dollars money. School Note Department Hereafter the Herald-Review will contain a Central school note depart- ment each week., We will also en- deavor to interest outside schools in the work. The notes of the local school will be edited by the rhetoric class and we believe that théy will be read with interest by all our citizens. A Hustler Button. Frank Poepke yesterday received a prize badge button from the head ‘consul of the Modern Woodmen of America for securing the largest number of members for the local lodge during the past month. Killed a Wolf It’s no pipe story, but an actuality —Leo. Betz killed a wolf yesterday on the north side of Hale lake. Services at St Joseph’s Services tomorrow morning and eve- ning at St. Joseph’s church. First mass, 8:30; high mass, 10:30; evening, 7:30. A Night of Terror. “Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burnham of Muchias, Me., when the doctors said she would die from pneumonia before morning.” writes Mrs. S. H. Lincoln, who attended her that fear- ful night, but she begged for Dr. King’s New Discovery, which had more than once saved her life, and cured her of consumption. After taking, she slept all night. Further use entirely cured her. This mar- yellous medicine is guaranteed to cure all throat, chest and lung diseases. bottles free at Itasca Mercantile Drug store. Look Out For the Cars. There are a lot of small boys in this town that seem to be laboring under the delusion that Jim Hiil’s freight trains are run for the express purpose of furnishing them with opportunities to endanger their lives. Lads of all ages from 6 to 20 years congregate on the depot platform and board the freights that are hourly passing through here, hanging onto the steps, bars or bumpers, and ride until in their judg- ment it is unsafe to take further chances. This is a practice that should pve stopped at once, and Mar- shal McCormick has appointed him- self a committee of one to see that this is done. A few severe lectures and a little persuasion with a limber _ stick by parents might greatly aid the marshal in preventing funerals and amputations. Only 50c and $1.00. Trial | } | 1
