BIT OFF AN EAR. Denny Golden and Mike Stewart Fight —Denny Bites Mike’s Ear OF. ‘ ‘At the Senate saloon on. Leland avenue last Monday afternoon there was the liveliest kind of a time between Mike Stewart and Denny Golden, It appears that the latter was amusing himself by abusing a cripple. Stewart interfered to protect the cripple. The result was a fight in which Golden bit off a very liberal piece of Stewart's ear. Marshal Harry took the canibal to jail together with Stewart. ‘Ihe for- mer was held to the grand jury on the charge of mayhemism. Stewart was fined $10 and costs for disturbing the peace. William Rose and William Ander- son were arrested by the marshal and were released with the understanding that they would leave town forthwith. Last Monday Marshal Harry cap- tured a crook who had attached him- self to another man’s grip. The thief gave hisname as H. Kinney. The marshal saw him. making his way along the street with a gnp that didn’t seem to fit him. Suddenly Kinney disappeared through an alley closely followed by the officer who soon dis- covered him ‘in an outhouse investi- gating the contents of his pickup. He was arrested and pleaded guilty before Justice McEwan who imposed a fine or ninety days in jail. Heis serving the ninety days. The gnp proved to be the property ot Knute Torgenson of Grand Forks, N. D. Aitkin-Grand Rapids Telephone. Enterprising citizens of Aitkin county have tormed a company and it is their intention to build a tele- phone line connecting Aitkin and Grand Rapids, Says the Aitkin Re- publican of the new venture: ‘The name of the new company will be the Aitkin and Grand Rapids Telephone company, and steps have aiready been taken to incorporate it. Shares will be one dollar each and provisions will be made so that one man cannot hold more than two hundred shares. We understand that there 1s much in- terest already being taken in the mat- ter and the gentlemen who have start- ed things moving anticipate no trouble in- financing the company. As the name would indicate, it is proposed to extend the line to Grand Rapids, and it is probable some of the peoplé of that hustling town will be induced to buy stock,” A Theroughbred Stallion. W.E. Myers, the liveryman, re- turned from Niagara, this | week with a splendid horse for breed- ing purposes.

He is a dark iron INN., SATURDAY, APRIL TO ELIMINATE SAND ‘Canisteo Lamber Company Will Install System of Sereening Ore. Special interest will attach to the Operations of the Canisteo Mining company about six miles north of | Grand Rapids, for it is expected that a combination washing and screen- ing system will be installed to separ- ate the sand from the ore, says the Duluth News Tribune. On this part of the Mesaba occasion- al lenses of minable ore are found, but the greater part of the ore dedosits is separated into ribs, aud sand is en- countered between them. The ore is usually high grade when the sand is eliminated, and the system of wash- ing and screening will be for the ac- complishing of this purpose. Work has been begun on one of the two shafts that are to be sunk on the lands of the Canisteo Mining com- pany. The shaft is in three compart- ‘ments, and is being put down on sec- tion 30-56-24. The other shaft to be put down by this company will be lo- cated on section 31, and will also be three compartments. Timber and Other material for the work is on the ground for both shafts. The sup- plies were hauled out from Grand Rapids. The Canisteo Mining company is putting down shafts for the purpose of opening up the ore bodies aad studyiog them. The company does hot get the most. satisfactory results by drilling, and so it has determined toopen the underground territory. The results will be of great interest in iron mining circles. BOVEY IS TO BOOM New Townsite Six Miles North of Grand Rapids Has Bright Future. The new townsite of Bovey,recently platted, located on the northeast quarter of the northwest quarter and the northwest quarter of the north- east quarter of section 32 in town- shib 56, about seven miles northeast ofGrand. Rapids, promises to enjoy ing summer. The new townsite is owned by the Bovey-DeLaittre Lum- ber company of Minneapolis. E. J. Longyear of Hibbing is also interest- ed in the property and when lots are placed on the market he will handle the business. Says the Mesaba Ore of the vew town: ‘‘The site is less than one mile north of ‘Trout lake, a beautiful sheet of water four miles long, and 1s in the heartofa very rich and productive agricul- tura) section. The most important resource of the coming town, how- ever, is the abundance of iron ore found in that locality. The Arctu- rus, Diamond and Buckeye mines are old discoveries and have un- dergone considerable development, but the lack of railroad facilities has retarded the work. {he Canisteo Mining company of which Harry Thomas is the superintendent, isat present opening two minning prcperties, and other companies are preparing for speedy development of ore bodies that have been determin- ed by diamond and churn drill work. Among the number is the Lewis Iron «company, which has proved a fine body of ore. At present sup- plies are hauled in by. way of Grand Rapids, but it is expected the Great Northern will complete its western extension from Hibbing to Grand Kapids. The line now runs as far as Nashwauk. TAKING OUR FARMS Iniquitous Schemes of Park Promoters tu Appropriate Agricultural Lands, The Cass Lake Times is one paper published in this section that has the rare faculty of saying what it thinks without consideration of who it hits or hurts. In _ its last issue it contained the following on the Park promoters: “No more iniquitous scheme was ever hatched than the game to steal thé farm lands of northern Minnesota and place them beyond the reach of homestead entry, by the little knot of schemmers who started out in the attempt as park promoters, and tind- ing that tact a losing game. conceived the fatuous idea of engaging the de- partment of agriculture to give them and their project a standing when they began a systematic game of bluff aud deceit to secure the lands the old park promoters wanted but could not get.

Two Do.uars a YEAR. may aot forget how well or how shab- bily they are treated by ther servants. We reassert that these grants have been secured by fraud, deceit and mis- representation.—It was represented to the Interior department that all lands contained in the Mississippi re- servation were pipe barrens and worthless for agriculture, and it was upon such representations, such de- ceit that the lands were set apart for the use of forestry. Now what are the facts? Itis true that there are some lands in the late reservation that are of the class known as “pine barrens.” but the forestry land grabbers have let these lands entirely alone and have selected for experi- mental purposes the best hard-wood lands of the district from the agri- cultural grant and for their timber- ed lands have selected lands that bear ten thousand to fifty thousands feet of white pine, the balance being heavily covered with oak, maple, birch, basswood, elm wand poplar, and growing upon a soi! not “pine barren,” but a rieh black loam as good as any soil on earth. The perti- nent question now is, can the state of Minnesota atfurd to have these lands taken from its young yoemanry and given over to a syndicate fur purposes of speculation and experiment? We believe that the damuge to the state is almost bevond computation, yetnot one of our servants at St Paul has been able to foresee the danger, and no efforts have been made by the state administration to check the ravagés of the plunderers upon the inherent rights of the peopie of the great com- monwealth.” A Remarkable Cure. A “proper stiff’ was brought down from Deer River Thursday afternoon on a Stretcher and taken to St. Ben- edict’s hospital. The story of the stiff as told is as fullows: The Deer River marshal discuvered a man Wednesday night in the middle of the street on his hands and kuees taking a drink from a_ pool of water. ‘The marshal naturaliy made inquiry as tothe cause of the canine per- formance, whereupon the thirsty in- dividual resented the officer’s impu- ned..to thrash-him, the which he proceeded to undertake. In the mixup which followed the marshal found it necessary to use his club and knocked his antagonist out. It appeared to be a complete knocks out, and the fellow remained in an apparently unconscious condition for severa} buurs. ‘The marshal and others feared that a fatal blow had been struck, as the victim appeared to be paralyized. He was brought to Graud Rapids Thursday afternoon on a stretcher and taken to the hus- pital. Dr. Russell was called and aftera through examination of the patient he was unable to tind any- thing wrong and told the man that he either was shamming or allowed his imagination to make a monkey of him, whereupon he got up and walk- ed down town with the doctor, as sound as ever. ‘This is prebaps the most wonderful cure on record at St. Benedict's. Had a Line of Credit. Thomas Kelly’s credit 1s good at Metzger’s market and Mr, ‘Thomas Collins knows it. In fact, Mr. Collins knew it so well that he is now serving ninety days in the county jail asa consequence of his knowledge. Col- lns was an habitue of the Senate saloon and restaurant of which Mr. Kelly is the proprietor. Kelly had sent Collins to the Metzger market for supplies for the restaurant. Collins evidently liked the jou ,of marketing and thereafter for several days he made purchases in Kelly’s name with- out being instructed to do so. When the bill was presented the Senate pro- prietor naturally protested as there was ™any articles charged to his ac- count that he had not ordered. Mr. Metzger suspected that something might be wrong. A. short time later he saw Mr, Collins making his way to the market and as Shenff Hoolihan happened to be near by he was notified to watch the result. Collins bought a twenty-pound ham and a basket of eggs which he had charged to Thomas Kelly. With these supplies he proceeded down Leland avenue to the corner of Second street and thence around through the alleys to the back door of McCormick’s saloon on Third street, followed by the sheriff. Here he was captured, and edmitted to the sheriff that he had been getting meats, | canned goods, etc., in this manner for some time, with which he had feasted himself and his friends, besides mak- ing a few sales. He retused to give the names of those to whom he had sold goods. He pleaded guilty to the charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses before Justice McEwan and was fined $50 and costs or ninety days iin jal. Hes serving the time. SCHOOL INSPECTION Supt. Mrs, Hattie F. Booth and Miss Margaret Doran Make Extended Trip. In order to visit her schools as re- quired by law, Mrs. Hattie F, Booth, superintendent of Itasca county schools, has just completed a trip of several hundred miles. She was ac- companied by Miss Margaret Doran, clerk of school district No. 1, who desired to gain a personal krowledge of the condition and needs of schools as they are conducted in the northern part of the county, as this district extends to the Canadian border. While some hardships were encountered on the journey and bad weather prevailed at times, yet both ladies feel well repaid in the knowledge they have gained relating to their official duties. ‘They were absent two weeks. ‘The trip from Grand Rapias to International Falls was made by rail by way of Winnipeg. They visited in that city one day before proceed- ing to the famous town at the big falls. The first school visited was at Indus, a small settlement opposite Emo, Canada. At this place the ladies found the school conducted in a claim shanty, Miss Mable Freeburg hed charge of ten pupils, and they ap- peared to be progressing very satis- factorily. International Falls was the next reached, where a very healthy con- dition in educational work exists. Mr. Hankey has charge of the work and Mrs. Booth pronounces him to be one of the really progressive instructors engaged in this county. He has an enrollment of 41 pupils and enjoys a regular attendance. International Falls is the only rural school in the county that is up to the standard re- quired to receive state aid. At International Falls the ladies hired a team and made the balance of their trip as far as Northome by the sleigh route, a distance of ninety miles. They first stopped a: Pelland, at the mouth of the Little Forks, thirteen miles from International Falls. Here Geo. A. Smith is ably conducting a school which has an attendance of eleven pupils. A frame building erect- ed by district No. 1, 1s in use at Pel- land. Eittie Fork was next-visited. Fif- teen pupils are enrolled and Miss Anna Shelland is teacher. James G. Brady. has charge of the Ripple school where eleven pupils were in attendance. Northome was then reached, which’ 1s a thriving little village, very much: in need of a school building. Miss- Manietta Brady is the teacher of about. twenty-five pupils. The school iss well conducted, but the room used is inadequate. From this point the Mizpah school in district No. 8, and the school at Bridgie were inspected, Miss Lillian Vaughan has charge of the Mizpah school, with fitteen pupils. | Mrs. Della Clark presides over the Bridgie school in a claim shanty. She now has cnly four pupils. Dexterville was also visited. Geo. B, Harper is the teacher of sixteen pupiis. From Northome the ladies tuok the twain for home via Bemidji, reaching Grand _ Rapids just thirteen days after leaving. This long and tedious trp is prétty con- clusive evidence of the interest taken in theirschool duties by Superintend- ent Booth and Miss Doran as clerk of this big district. Mrs. Booth was the first superintendent to visit the schools of the northern and central portion of the county, Grand Rapids’ Cornet Band The Grand Rapids band has al- ready began the season of open air concerts and the music they produce foretells of the enjoyable evenings they will furnish the people of Grand Rapids during the coming summer months, The band now consists of twenty pieces and _ we will venture to say that asa whole it cannot be ex- celled in the state. It costs a lot of money and planning to keep up such an organization in a town the size of Grand Rapids, and great credit 1s due the older members who have devoted so much time and labor to the up- building of the band and bringing it toits present high standard. The people of Grand Rapids should feel proud ot it and in every way possible lend their aid to its sustenance and perpetuation. Death of Ethel Powers. Ethel Powers, aged 14 years, died at her home in Minneapolis on Wed- nesday, of inflammatory rheumatism, after an illness of several weeks. The young lady was the eldest daughter of A. H. Powers, the well known lumber- man, She. had often visited Hibbing and many of our citizen's knew and loved her. Mr, Powers went to Min- neapolis in response to a telegram, on Tuesday.—The ele Hibbing. ss
