Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Itasca Mercantile Co. Baker-Rrown Marriage. On September 28th, at Minneapolis, Mr. Fisher Baker and Miss Mabel Brown, both of Cohosset, were united in mafriage. A rumor of this happy event reached the Herald-Review at the time, but whena reporter applied to Mr. Baker for verification and de- tails, he confidentially informed the newsgatherer that ‘these fellows are trying to make @ monkey of you,” and in a solemn and serious manner advised us not to be caught by such a ridiculous report coming from so un- teliable a source. At that the Her- ald-Review man was convinced be- yond’ peradventure that the rumor was spurious and paid no further at- tention to it. During our several years acquaintance with “Fish” we bad never found him false and placed implicit confidence in what he as- sured us was the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But subsequent developments, how- over, proyed that our trusted friend deceived us and thereby causei the Herald-Review to leave untold to the publican important and interesting event. Time and frequent treat- ment may restore him to our con- fidence, but at present we cannot re- strain a feeling of resentment. In any eventit isnot too late for the Herald-Review to join the many riends of Mr. and Mrs. Baker in wishing them uninterrupted happi- hess and prosperity through the years to come. Special Council Meeting. Ata special council meeting held last Monday night at the recorder’s office there was considerable time consumed in discussion, but very little business transacted. Quaran- tine regulations were given cousider- able consideration, and the appoint- ment of an additional practicing physician as a member of the health board was looked upon with favor by amajority of the council. A report was submitted by the committee on Police and license, relative to the charges preferred against officer Harry by Recorder Gole, and after a discussion of the matter at some length was referred to the committee for further consideratiun. Village Attorney Price appeared before the council and reported that J. J. Rob- ertson, contractor, bad brought suit against the village for the recovery of $2,400, alleged to be due fcr the building of the electric light plant. Owing to the fact that the case will be tried at the coming term and will require considerable preparation by the defendant attorney Mr. Price re- quested that additional counsel be employed to assisthim. Fayorable action was taken on the suggestion by, by the council. Alfred Kiley came over from Chis- holm Monday on a yisit to his parents. He returned Tuesday afternoon. Northern, and other gentlemen.

An interesting game of foot bali was played last Sunday between the home team and the Superior ‘“Mer- gers.” The game res:lted in a score of 5 to 6 in favor of the visitors. The “Mergers” are a fine, huskey lot of fellows, and will average fifteen pounds heavier in weight than the Grand Rapids boys.’ They are all employes in the Great Northern Oftices at Superior and hence the sig- niticant vame they have adopted. They certainly merged well in the game. The Grand Rapids boys made asplendid showing notwithstanding the differerence in weight of the two teams. The struggle was flerce from start to finish. Murray Gets Rattled. There is something doing ‘round about Bena in the way of townsites. ‘Two townsites have been established within the past week or ten days. Cass Lakers are the promoters of both. One crowd, in which our for- mer. fellow townsman and colaborer in Grand Rapids journalism, A. G. Bernard, is interested, has selected a tract about one mile west of the pres- ent town of Bena awd they have named it “Richards” in honor of the present commissioner of the general land office at Washington. Another Selection has been made adjoining fhe present townsjte of Bena on the i in which former Grand Rap At the state stumpage sale held Thursday, State Auditor Iverson dis- posed of 97,000,000 feet of pine at an average price of $6.40. The aggre- gate receipts of the sale amounted to $630,000 in round numbers. Over $150,000 in cash was paid to the state auditor ‘Thursday by the pur- chasers, in accordance with the terms of the sale. The sale was one of the liveliest ever held, and the prices fully up to the highest records.

In his opinion the fellows who have selected the location one: mile west of Bena will have a “Laprairie” on their hands. There will be no reason to advance for the change in location of the present postoffice at Bena. There are already established government highways leading directly north and aouth from. Bena to Winnibigoshish and Leech lake dams. Again, the bureau of forestry is quite apt to in- terfere with the plans of the gentle- Men who are establishing Richards.

On Monday night of this week Will- iam Duggin died of pneumonia at the camp of Dempsey & Dougherty, out from Hill City, about thirty miles from Grand Rapids. The remains were brought to Grand Rapids and interment made in the Catholic cem- etery Wednesday afternoon at 3 oclock. The deceased had not been feeling well for several days and com- plained of a severe cold on his lungs. He was naturally of a rugged consti- tution and no serious results were ap- prehended either by himself or his friends. Monday he drove out to the camp with his brother, C. H. Duggin. On the way out he ate quite a hearty dinner and uttered no complaint of feeling sick. Upon arriving at the camp about eight o’clock in the even- ing he refused supper and at once re- tired fur the night. The next morn- ing he was found dead in bed. From appearances he expired early in the night. ‘The cause of death was pneumonia.
