—— SEEKS A DIVORCE Mrs. Jessie Woods Applies for Sep- aration from Her Husband. Last Tuesday Attorneys Price ‘and Thwing went up to Bemidji, theform- er as attorney fur Mrs. Jessie Woods and the latter in behalf of her hus- band, J. W. Woods. Mrs. Woods has sued fora divorce in which she asks for the custody of their three child- ren and alimony. Mr. Price, on be- half of his client, asked the court to fix a sum of money as attorney fees to he paid by the defendant and also ali- mony pending trial of the action. The motion was granted, and the court stipulated $100 as attcrney fees, $25 for preparation and $40 per month for the support of Mrs. Woods and the three children until the disposal of the case next December. “The moth- er is given custody of the children in the meantime, and the father will be permitted to see them but he is re- strained from in any way interfering with them or molesting the plaintiff. It appears that some, trouble arose between the couple a short time ago when the husband went home in an intoxicated condition from Grand Rapids. The Woods family lived at the Fletcher Bros, mine in Iron itange township where Mr. Woods was operating a diamund drill. He is amember of the firm of Woods & Newton, mining contractors. Mr. Woods is stillin Grand Rapids and appears to be very much broken up over the serious results which have followed the unfortunate misunder- standing. Mrs. Woods left town sev- éral days ago with her three children since which time the husband has soldiers and sailors. are issued under authority of that portion of the county not organ the proper official to apply to. municipality must be seen.

Pe- kegama. ‘he store room there soon proved to be too’ small and ‘they bought “out the grocery business of George F. Meyers on the corner of Fourth street and Kindred avenue and added a general stock. Since then the building has been thribbled in size, besides the addition of large warehouses.

NOT WORTH THE POWDER Swan River Elopement Case Not Causing ~ Excitment Where Parties Are Known ©The Wadena, Aitkin and other papers along the route taken by one Wm. Barnhart and Mrs. George King when the pair left Swan River some weeks ago, have given the twain much more consideration than their domestic affairs warrant. Both the Barnharts and Kings bear decidedly unsavory reputations and have lived promiscuously immoral for a number of years, according to reports ‘of their neighbors. It is said that Barnhart was never married to the woman with whom he lived at Swan River, and that King has lived with three different women, including the one that made her escape with Barnhart. The latest report concerning the run- away couple is to the effect that they have been located in Wiscousin, have been arrested, > will «be extradited and prosecuted for alleged bigamy. They were married by a justice of the’ peace in Wadena, where they will probably be tried. Those who are in a position to know something of the. affairs of the whole outfit at Swan River claim that it will bea difficult. matter to produce apy mar- riage certificates oa either side out- side of that secured at Wadena. pai ee ee PEDDLERS’ LICENSE TO VETS. Village Recorder Gole and County Auditor Farrell May Issue Free Licenses. Village Recorder Gele and County Auditor Farrell have beeo furnished with a supply of blank forms for the himself of the opportunity to take notes and valuable observations on the way Superintendent Chapman makes things grow. Mayor Crawford is interested in farming over in Hubbard county and said he wanted to get a few scientific pointers to transplant in its fertile soil. He was much pleased with what he saw at the state farm and expressed the beliefs that it was already of incalcu- lable benefit to farmers of North- eastern Minnesota. Mr. Fred Stin- metz, who visited with Capt. James Murchie and family last winter, was with Mayor Crawford and he renewed many acquaintances during the stop over. J. J. DECKER MAY SELL William and F. E. King of Wadena, May Engage in Lumber Business’ William King, who has had the contract for the erection of! the new high school building, has evidently become very favorably impressed with Grand Rapids and her future. Mr. King bas been in the village for sev- eral months and has watched the material appearances and steady development until he became well satisfied, that this would be a good town in which to engage in business. Being a practical builder of many years experience he naturally would understand the }umber business and readily appreciate a desirable oppor- tunity in that line. He has been carrying on negotiations with J. J. Decker for some time for the purchase of his stock and yards,. and may close the deal in a few days. F. E. King, son of the contractor, will have charge of the business here, in the event of Mr. Decker selling. Mr. King, Jr., has been engaged in the grocery business at Wadena during the past four years, disposing of his commercial interests there last week. It is the intention of the new firm, shculd they close the deal, to imme- diately put in a new planing mill and otherwise equip the plantina manner that will make it thoroughly modern and in every way complete.

In this particular case the game warden 1s not to blame, as a disgtunt- led neighbor made the complaint, but It is nevertheless a great injustice. Excusable Negligence Alleged.

The claim of excus- able neglect will be made hy the de- fense. Attorney Frank F. Price of Grand Rapids will appear for the Ver- milion company, The cases involve the title to considerable pine timber that hus long since been transformed into lumber. W. F. Street Killed. 3 A telegram from Bemidji to the Duluth Evening Herald dated ‘Thurs- day of this week, tells of the accident- al shooting of Attorney W. F. Sireet, who 1s well known to many people of Grand Rapids. The telegram gives the following brief account of the sad affair: “W. F. Street, accompanied by his wife and brother-in-law, while out blueberrying this morning, was accidently shot in the back witha shotgun in the hands of his brother-in- law, Louis Bland: All assistance pos- | sible was given to Mr. Street, bat just as he reached Bemidji he died.” ‘Lhe unfortunate man had been ‘married ing upon the enjoyment of a life made easier through ‘the accumulation’ of considerable’ wealth ‘tir recent~ years? He was one of the best known ~ public men in northen Minnesota, and. his untimely death will be deeply de- plored by friends all.over the state. Another Game Violator Horace’ Lydick, brother of George Lydick, the Cass Lake townsite pro- moter, was brought down from _ that. village yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Spang, on a_ warrant charging him having violated the state game laws on June 19, 1903, by fatally shooting and partially devouring one cow moose. The deed was committeed in township Igo, range 25, on the Big Fork river, so it is alleged. ‘The witnesses to the act were Noah Fletcher of Deer River and S. C. Farwell, who runs a saw mill on the Big Fork. | Horace and a companion were rowing down the river when a cow moose and a calf were spied close at hand drinking from the river. Mr. Farwell, who was coming up the river with Mr, Fletch- er, was armed with a kodak. He pre- pared to take a shot at the animals when a nfle ball struck the old cow and she floundered in the water but a short time before giving up the ghost. Lydick and his companion cut a small piece out of one hind quarter and paddled down the stream, leaving the carcass to rot on the shore. But before their departure, however. and while in the act of extracting a choice porterhouse steak trom the old cow, Mr. Farwell got a snap shot view of Mr. Lydick, which will be produced when the case will be called for a hearing before Justice Huson. Bought a Grand Rapids Home R. §. McDonald has purchased the handsome cottage formerly owned by. W. E. Neal on Lelaed avenue between Seventh and Eigth streets. Mr. Mc- Donald and family expected to move to International Falls to reside, where Mr. McDonaid would have charge of the Backus-Brooks company interests in the townsite, but the indications now are that two years will elapse be- fore the railroad reaches that town, .|and in the meantime there will be little activity at the Falls. During the coming winter he will be engaged in logging for the Backus-Brooks com- pany about forty miles to the north with headquarters at Grand Rapids, The Northern Cafe Since taking charge of the Northern Cefe, about three weeks ago, Charley Wallace has fed several hundred people, and the constant increase of his patronage is a pretty good indica- tion that Mr. Wallace knows. how to please the palatc of the public. His many years experience in catering to the public has fitted him thoroughly in his line of business, It is unneces- but afew wecks, and was just enter: | in evidence this morning at 9 o’clock |” sary to say that Charley Wallace is one of the best chefs in this part of the state, because most everybody knows it, but n might be proper to call attention to the fact that he buys the choicest of everything to eat that these markets afford. sJust bear in mind that the Northern Cafe 1s in the rear of John O’Reilly’s Silver Club sample room where the famous Foster Rye is sold.
