WERE CHARGED WITH ROBBERY. Two West Duluth Young Men Arrested on Rather Serious Charge. district is to be congratulated. Mr.|~- Otto Splitz and Wm. Faubist, two young men who accompanied the West Duluth ball team to Grand Rapids on the 4th, had anarrow escape from being bound over toawait theac- tion of the grand jury next Decem- ber. Sunday night they visited the resort condacted by Myrtle Stewart on the South Side. After they left the place several articles of value were missed, among which were two- clocks, a hand looking glass, combs, brushes, rouge and other toilet arti- cles and accessories thereto. two West Duluth representatives were suspected and Marshal Harry notified, who arrested them, They were taken to jail and at 10 o0’clock Monday morning were brought before Justice Huson for a hearing. A. L. Thwing eppeared for the defendants and demanded a change of venue. The case was sent to Justice Buell of Laprairie. At three o'clock in the afternoon when the case was called Prosecuting Attorney Spear asked for a continuance until Tuesday morning, at 9 o’clock, which was granted. Nellie Melvig, an inmate of the Stew- art place, swore out the warrant as it was her room that had been robbed. The amount involved, said to be twenty-four dollars, and the robbery having taken place at night made the offense grandlarceny. The complain- ing witnesses became alarmed lest the prosecution of the case might result disastrously to the institution with which they were identified, and con- sequently a compromise appears to have been arrived at whereby the missing articles were returned to their rightful owners, and the prose- a result the accused were set at liber- ty by Justice Buell and the two returned to West Duluth Tuesday viadiNnec BE so nanierat Hall & Monks the contractors who will put in the Kindred avenue sewer, will probably begin work next week.

PETITION FOR BETTER MORALS, Grand Rapids People Got in Half Time on the Fourth. Citizens of Dexterville Appeal to County ~ Attorney Spear to Aid Them, BIG PROGRAM CARRIED OUT Under date of July 4th County At- torney Spear received a petition from citizens of Dexterville, in township 159, range 29, asking that official to take action against a saloon man named Swank, doing business there, with a view to depriving the said Swank of his license to sel’ liquor and thereby ridthe community of his undesirable presence. The reason given for requesting such action is the alleged unbecoming conduct of Mrs. May Swank, wife of the saloon man. It is said by the petitioners that the woman goes about from one saloon to another, drinking, using vile and profane languageand making herself generally disagreeable and undesirable as a citizen. The petitioners also state that they have wives and daughters residing inthe Dexterville community who are unwilling witnesses to the disgraceful conduct of the woman and therefore the license of Swank should be revoked forthwith. It further alleges that the Swank woman has been held to the grand jury on a chargeof robbery. This isthe first knowledge, Attorney Spear has. received of the bribery charge. He willinvestigate the matter. A Constant Rainstorm Held the Boards During the Forenoon But Patriotism Prevailed and a Splendid Enter- tainment was Enjoyed. Had the weather been favorable the people of Grand Rapids would have witnessed the most gala day the town has ever known, on the Fourth of July, 1903, but the weatherman acted asa lineal decendent of old King George might be expected to act on the birth-day of your Uncle Samuel. He performed contrary to the success of our undertaking and poured down rain almost continuously until about two o’clock p.m. The committee in charge of the celebration was com- posed of men who proposed to cele- brate if it took all summer, and at the first indication of a “‘clear up” the Buctail fife and drum core ap- peared on the streets and started the patriotic blood of the community to course with gladness and the spirit of the day to awaken with renewed energy. Then came the city band with its inspiring music and soon the streets were thrunged with citizens and visitors. However, the elements still threatened to yield more rain and only the hardy Kagles of Pokega- ma era defied the uninviting condi- tions, and with white caps and umberellas, led by their’ standard bearer carrying a large bald eagle on a staff, the order marched 1n line through the principal streets in com- pany with the band to thecourt house where the exercises of the day were formally opened. That immortal document, the Dec- laration of Independence, was read by C. M.. King, who was introduced ; ¢ George Riddell. Mr. foliowed the readifig’ with a speech filled with eloquent, patriotic senti- ment, which held the audience with interest throughout. Mayor Riddell then introduced Rev. Father O’Mab- oney who delivered one of the most patriotic addresses ever listened to in Grand Rapids. The reverand speaker held his audience for about three- quarters of an hour in close attention. He displayed a knowledge of Ameri- can history seldom surpassed. In language electric with eloquence he pictured the glorious achievements of the fathers of this republic and recited the lessons of true patriotism and advocated the necessity uf teach- ing the love of country to the rising generation. Base bali at the South Side grounds was next anounced and several hundred people wended their way across the river to witness a game between Grand Rapids and West Duluth, which resulted ina victory for the latter by a score of 17 to 20. The other features of the program were taken up in the order published and everybody was kept busy with entertainment until after seven o’clock in the evening. Y The bowery dance in the evening was well attended and enjoyed by all who participated, To Messrs.
