Killed at Swan River. ‘Tuesday morning Coroner Storch received word from Swan River tnat an unknown man had been killed by the tain there the night before. In company with Deputy Sheriff Kear- ney the coroner left for the scene on the afterhvon train. Very little of the dead man was found at Swan River, he having been literally ground to pieces. A trip up the line toward. Hibbing disclosed portions of the body scattered along the track as far up as Gardner, where the head was found. It is supposed that the mau was a tramp stealing a ride and had in'some way len under the wheels. ‘The remains were buried by Undertaker Luther on Wednesday. They Were Well Used. The Duluth Evening Herald has the following to say. concerning the gun club tournament held here last week: “The Duluth and Superior men returned last evening from the second annual. tournament of the \tasca Gun club, held Thursday and Fnday at Grand Rapids, Minn. ‘The local men are all enthusiastic over the treatment they received, and say that | the shoot was a great success, and no wonder, for they shot inside ail the best money. John Fulton of West perior, carried away first honors, and John W. Nelson of this city, was second. The Duluth man did won- derful shooting on the last day of the tournament, only missing sixteen birds out of 150. Fix Them at Once. Nothing so much emphasizes. the need of new sidewalks as to see a drove valuable horses or catule promenading up and down them. Que holds his breath for fear some of the rotten planks will give away and one of these valuable animals break through and bark their shins. The sidewalks should at once be remedied so that owners of stock would not be worried every minute that their beasts were out walking for fear of them injuring themselves, We would sug- gest that people owning valuable hor- ses and keep -thenr in until the street commissioner can get around to remedy the trouble, of co Kremer’s Opening. George F. Kremer will next Satur- hold the grand opening of his new furniture store, Everybody is invited to come in and look over the stock, which will be found to be one that any store ma town _ three times the size of Grand Rapids might be proud of. Everything in the line of house furnising goods will be found there and at prices that are right, Anticipating that there would be a large crowd at the opening, the ladies of the Presbyterian church decided that it would be a good place to give one of their celebrated dime lunches. Call on Kremer for anything you want in his line. le da Will Close Up Early. ‘The business houses of Grand Rap- ids last evening closed up at. 6:30, and this will be the regular closing hour during the summer, except on Saturday nights. The concerns that have signed the agreement to do this are follows: Itasca Mercantile company, J. D. Powers, B. L. Lieber. man, W. J. & H. D. Powers, W. i. Perrault, S, J. Cable, J. F. Metzger, George F. Kremer, C. H. Marr, J. P. O'Donnell, John Beckfelt, Wil Nisbitt W. J. Warner, George F, Meyers. Could Not te Observed. For the first time in its history Grand Rapids found it impossible to fittingly observe Decoration day on Wednesday, much as our people inght wish to have doneso. This was due to the fact that diphthena is prevailing, it being thought best not to have large gatherings of people, and of children especially, while there was any danger of contagion. Stores were clossd, flags half-masted, and the members of the G. A. R. post decorat- ed the graves of their departed com- rades in the usual manner. Will Move Buildings. The Itasca Mercantile company will shortly move the buildings now facing on Fourth Street back of Metzgers meat market, turning them half way around so that they will front on Leland avenue. The build- ings, on account of their present lo- cation, can only be used as_ store rooms, but the new order of things will make them excellent locations for stores. Manager Buneman informs us that he already has renters for the two places. Bogus Census Takern. We have read of a game that is going around in some localities that miay overtake you one of these days. A man comes along who calls him self a census taker, asks you a lot of questions and puts them down on a blank. When he gets through you sign a paper at the bottom of the blank that is afterwards torn off in such a way that it makes a promis- sory note. Be careful that a bogus census taker doesn’t take you in, Tax Sale Continues. The forfeited sale of real estate still continues at the auditor’s office. The town lots were reached on Mor- day morning, and up to last night about half of these had been gone through. The auditor thinks that the end of next week will see the end of the list reached. It will be sometime after that betore everything is figured up so that we may know just how much the sale brought into the treasury. The Annual Warning. About this time evéry year it is necessary to call the attention of par- ents to the danger of allowing their boys to play on the logs at Knox’s saw mill. We are informed that no less than seven boys fell into the river at that place last week, and that one was not drowned is strange, Certain it 1s that until one or. two of them are fished out dead, the dangerous play ground will not be abandoned. Postoffice Will Close. Postmaster O. H. Stilson intorms us tat hereafter the office will be locked up at 7 o’clock in the evening. ‘This will inconvenience no one, as all will have time to both get and send their mail before that hour, —_ All the stores will close at 6:30 during the suinmer months in order to give clerks and proprietors a hitle chance for recrea- uon, and as the postoffice force is also human, we do not beiieve anyone will begrudge them the short time that closing early will allow them. Some Welcome Fain. It didn’t rain enough by about 48 hours, but nevertheless the showers that this section received on Thursday night did a great deal of good. Not enough fell to make any appreciable raise in the rivers.or lakes, but there was enough to do the crops a great deal of good. It begines to look as ifa great many logs would be hung up in the woods this summer. Ministers May Stay. At the recent conference of Method- ist ministers held in Chicago, it was decided to abonish the time limit of pastorates, and hereafter a minister may stay in one place as long as the place suits him and he suits the place. Our Methodist friends will be glad of this. Heretofore they have just about had time to get acquainted with their pastors when these have been as- signed to some other place.; Reduetion in Millinery. Miss Frances Faulis, the milliner, wishes to announce to the ladies ot Grand Radids and vicinity that com- mencing on Monday, June 4 and continuing until the Fourth of July, she will make a reduction of 25 per cent from regular prices on her large line of hats. The stock 1s complete and stylish and comprises every thing from the cheapest to the best. Drop in and see 1t. Badge Presentation. At the last meeting of the Modern Woodman, Harry Wilhams, wno has been venerable council since the organization of the camp here, was presented with a beautiful gold badge by his brother members as a token of the esteem in which he is held by them. ‘Thomas McHugh made the presentation address, which was a masterpiece. Building Crosswatks. Street Commissioner McCormick and a crew of men are at present busy putting 1n crosswalks through the busi- ness portion of the town. The work of establishing the correct grades of the streets has been completed, and putting in the new sidewalks will soon commence, No Teacher’s Institute. County Superintendent of Schools Mrs. O. H. Stilson, informs us, that there will not be a teacher’s institute held here this summer. ‘The reason for this is that ail our teachers are away from town spending their vaca- tions and will most likely not return until about the time school will reopen.
