Stevens, a clerk in the store of George F. Meyers, put ima couple of days this week at the county jad ior no other crime than that of almost killing his wife. The lady, who is employed at the Itasca laundry was going home on Saturday evening, and was passing the store where her husband operates, when he stepped out and with the bravery that few supposed him to possess, struck her in the back of the head, knocking her down. He evidently thaught that a good job might as well be done wile he was at it, so he kicked hera few times for good measure, Stevens rrested and brought before Justice Barnard on a charge of assault ‘The j entenced him to pay the limit sable in the justice court—one asse hundred dollars and costs—or spend ninety days in jail, The loving husb- and was also placed under a bond of $500 to keep the peace for six months. ‘There was a suit for divorce pending between the chief actors in the tragedy and things were presumably not go- ing the way the erstwhile head of the firm would like to have it, A man is a brute who will attempt to lick his wife on the street. It 1s always better todo itina gentlemanly manner at home. Stevens was released on ‘Thursday and told to feave the county, which he did. The Diseharge of Leemsn. The Mora Times of: last Friday says: “The hearing of J. W. Hooper Fred Leeman was to have taken place at ro o’clock yesterday and a good part of the village people had congregated to Hear the evidence. But the evidence of the state was deemed insufficient by County Attorney King to warrant an attempt to bind the men over and they were dis- charged. Messrs. Hooper and Lee- man visited with old friends in the village during the day and left this morning for their respective homes, ‘There is considerable sentinent being expressed regarding the case, which the ‘limes reframs from publishing. ‘The murder of Albert Peterson is yet a dark mystery.” i Pann Bumping Greund: We would like to call the attention of the town board, the health officials and the people generally to the fact that one of the prettiest spots in this neighborhood ,1s. being ruined by making it the*dumping- ground for rufuse and garbage. . We refer to the shores of McKinney lake. This is a favorite driving and . walking route with a great many people, and some effort should be made to keep it in’a hali-way decent condition, Using such a place as a dumping ground is menace to public health as well as the rumation of a pleasure ground, Methodist Services. Rev. R J. McGhee of the M. E. church, left Tuesday fora three week’s visit to ‘Toronto and vicinity, conse- quently there will be no services at his church tomorrow. ‘The following Sunday—June 17—the pulpit will be occupied by. Rev. Dr. Forbes of Duluth, and the Sunday following that the Methodist minister at Be- midji 1s expected to be here. It is stated on pretty good authority that while away Mr. McGhee will ‘take onto himself,” but we withold con- gratulations until we are absolutely certain. To Play Base Ball. Several young men who are en- thusiastic admurers of the great Ameni- can game—base ball, not draw poker —have taken steps te organize a club here. We have some very good ball players among our boys and if the club is a success we may expect them to do some very good work. A meeting. will shortly be held for the purpose of perfecting the organization and devising ways and means for procuring the necessary supplies. For Better Shows. The papers in the neighborhood have acted on our suggestion’ and started a cruisade against bum theatni- cal troups. The Eveleth Star and Virginia Enterprise are particularly energetic in denouncing these travel- ing mountebanks, and if all take the matter up it willsoon have the desired effect. Let a theatrical troup be ripped up the back by the newspapers ct a district and soon the troupe will become better or cease to exist. It-is a good work. ; Rit the Hospital, There are at present eight patients at St. Benedict’s hospital, all of whom are doing nicely. Fred Drayer was on Monday brought down from Rose’s cedar camp near Deer River with a badly cut foot. He is getting along nicely. Benny, the 7 year old son of | Mr. and Mrs. John Jackson of Winni- bigosh, 1s at the institution being treated for hip bone disease, and is on the fair road to recovery.

All other papients are stl under quarantine but none of them are dangerously sick. Fourth of duly Ball. It begines to look as1f the people of Grand Rapids were going to let the Fourth of July celebration go by de- fault this year. At any rate no steps have as yet been taken towards hav- ing.a general jollification’ There will however, be a dance in the evening given by the G. A. R. ladies at the village hall, Arrangements for the affair are to be ina grand scale and there will no doubt be an excellent | attendande. For Famine Sufferers. The Great Northern railroad com- paoy has posted circulars in ali its depots announcing that any money sent to any of the several India fam- ine relief societies in the Umited States will be sent by the road free of charge. ‘This money may be sent as an indi- vidual contribution or in funds other- wise gathered. It will be shipped the same as other money and no charge made. We Fire the Best. The 1900 Newspayer Blue Book, published by the Twentieth Century Clipping Bureau of Chicago, has just reached us. It contains the names of the best newspaper in every com- munity, and of course the Herald- Review is the only Itasca county paper mentioned. The choice is made alter careful comparison by competent judges and therefore no favoritism is shown. Special Term of Court. Judge G. W. Holland has announc- ed that on the 2sth of the present month he will hold a special term of the the district court at Koochiching, this county, ‘This is for the purpose of giving the alliens thereaway an op- portunity to become United States citizens. This action on the part of the judge willbe appreciated by many people in that section. Pretty Quick Work. A man named George Gibson was on Thursday arrested for robbing J. B. Murray of $5. The matter was brought before the grand jury, which mdited him, and he was found guilty by the court and sentenced to fifteen days in jail. ‘The entire program did not take up more than three hours.

Considerable business will demand attention and’ a-full turn-out 1s ¢x- pected. By order of committee. THE TAX SALE CLOSED. Auditor Farrell Winds Up the Forfeited List Today, Much to his Regret. If you hear County Auditor Farrell going along the street crying out “How much am I offered?” don’t set him down as being crazy, because he isn’t. Every day since the 7th of May he has kept that cry up and the habit has fastened on him so that it will take some time to break himself of it. He is through with this part of the job now, however, and the for- feited tax sale is atanend. The last descriptions were reached last night, with the exception of a few that had been previously bid in and not paid for and which had to be re-offered to- day. The amount of money realized from the sale is not yet known, but Mr. Farrell thinks it will ran over $125,000. To this sum must be added the subsequent taxes, which will amount to over $20,000 more, so that 1t will not be surprising if the sale nets a total of $150,000. This sum will be apportioned, but the county will get the bulk of it, school district No.1. being the next largest bene- ficiary. The sale hag taken spractical- ly six weeks and 11,800 descriptions were disposed of in: one-way or an- other. We believe this is the largest forfeited list published in the state and also the one from which the greatest amount of money has been realized. The Weekly Shoot. That some of the members of the Itasca Gun Club do the best shooting when a wind is blowing is evidenced by the score made on Thursday. There was a regular sand storm on, but some of the shooting doue was excellent. In one event H. D. Pow- ers broke 25 out of a possible 25, and in the medal event he also broke all heshotat.
