Special Council Meeting Ataspecial meeting of the village council held “Monday evening the trustees acted as a board of audit and reviewed the reports submitted by the | treasurer and recorder. Both of these officials had prepared full statements | of the business of their respective offices and the auditing committee found everything as it should be. ‘The statement prepared by Recorder King was posted at Village hall as re- quired by law in the room used as the place of voting. It contained the date and amount of each order issued, the person to whom issued and on what account. The voters as a rule looked it over and Mr. King was very highly complimented on the thorough- ness of his work and the concise man- ner in which it was. presented. The matter of the appointment of a night watchman was considered, and 1t was decided that an additional peace of- er should be added to Marshal Mc- Cormick’s force. The name of Ted O'Reilly was presented and he re- ceived tl unanimous vote of the members. Ted began his official duties ‘Thursday evening and will continue to preserve the peace during the muddy He will. make a_ first-class copper dumng. the darkness of the night, while Frank McCormick will continue to gather in the unruly ones with his — u alacrity while the sun shine This was about all the business transacted ex- cept the auditing and allowing of a few bills.

It would appear that some of the good citizens of Deer River are suspi- cious of some others of the good citi- zens when it comes to. municipal poli- tics. This is the conclusion reached at the sheriff's office when a petition was handed in to Mr. Tyndall re- questing him to either appear in per- son or send a deputy to preserve the peace in that village on election day. The petition was signed by several well-known citizens. The sheriff, however, considered that inas- much as the village authorities had power toappoint all the deputy mar- shais that might be required, it was not necessary. for his office to inter- fere. The only trouble thus far re- ported was one tame scrap in which Attorney Price cuffed up Editor Tay- lor. No damage resulted beyond a severe fall that the attoraey took un- to himself among a promicuous_ pile of chairs after he had taken a tumble or two out of Murray. Death of Mrs. S. Cameron. A letter received this week from Frank Surprise, dated Ahsahka, Idaho, states thet Mrs. Steve Cameron recente ly died et that place. Mr. and Mrs. Cameron were marned in GrandRapids five years ago by Rev. Father Ga- mache, and resided herg about a year thereafter. They had many friends in this village who will deeply sympa- thise with the bereaved husband while they mourn the loss of so esti- mable a woman and friend. Mr. and Mrs. Surprise expect to soon return to Grand Rapids as they are not pros- pering in their new home. ‘The letter concludes with .the statement that they may lose everything they possess as a consequence of invest. ment in what is termed the “Cameron syndicate.” Narrow Escape. While driving into town Tuesday afternoon at a pretty lively gait, across McKinney lake, D. W. Doran and Al. Bishop were thrown from the sleigh just as they reached the south | shore. In fact the sleigh-box and all was left im the road while the team and bobs came merrily on to town. Mr. Doran struck an old stump with his head and shoulders, receiving a severe scalp wound and dislocating the shoulder, He was rendered un- conscious by the fall and remained in that condition until after he was | brought to town. Dr. Russell took | care of the wound and_ disloca- tion and Mr. Doran will again be about in a fewdays. Mr. Bishop escaped uninjured. N. B.—Dr. Rus- sell says that there was no dislocation; only a bad brui Counting the People Hon A. N. Dare who has charge of the census work for this district, is preparing for the commencement ot operations on June rst. A great deal of preliminary work is necessary in the way of giving instructions to the enumerators. Judge H, S. Huson, member of the Republican congres- sional committee for this county, has been requested to make recommen- dations for the ten who will be re- wired to do the work in Itasca ‘These enumerators will be thoroughly probably, their Republicanism, be- jfore being finally accepted.

On Thursday morning last Mr. John Dolph was very pleasantly sur- prised when Prof. Carroll, on behalf of the teachers 6f Central school, present- ed him with a handsome and substantial gold watch chain as a token of the high esteem in which they hold him, and as a testimonial of the value of his services as engineer. Mr, Dolph was just about to retire from the position he had _ held for more than four years, and in which he had given uninterrupted satisfaction from the first. Jt is said that a very competent man has been engaged to take’ his place, and if he will give as good services as did Mr. Dolph there will be no cause for complaint. Vance in Hard Luck. F, L. Vance was down from his White Moose lodge on the Big Fork, the first of the week. A few days ago Mr. Vance had the misfortune to drown a valuable team in Town Line brook. He was here for the purpose of purchasing another team. Frank has had a persistent run of hard luck during the past few years that would have discouraged the average man, but he is not of that temperament. He is as sanguine as ever and is deter- mined to finally overcome the fates and re-esteblish his business standing on the same sclid foundation that he enjoyed a few years ago.
