Superior correspondent of the Du. luth News Tribune gives the foliow- ing version of the Gardner tragedy: ‘ Superior friends of Joseph H. Gard- fer, who isin jailat Grand Rapi ion, charged with the\ murder a few Cays ago of a_homesteader, will go to his rescue. Money is to be put up for his defense and to provide for the support of his family while he is in trouble. William Billstein of the Columbia fothing company and Postmaster ! Kirby Thoms have recently returned from Graud Rapids, Minn. While vuhere they visited Gardner at the Itasca county jail, where he is held wn acharge of murdering a nan named Garrison. Gardner formerly lived in Superior, where he is well known and has many friends, among some of the ‘best citizens. The story of the shovting is an interesting one. Gardner has a coal claim in the county of Itasca, which he has been endeavoring to develop for thepast ten years. Meanwhiie he has suc- ceeded in clearing up twenty-tive acres of Vhe same land which he uses for farming purposes. On am adjoin- ing section Garrison also had a min- eral claim and recently bad bieod existed between the neighbors. ‘The actual stury of the shootiry is told by Gardner himself. He says Garrison came to his house while he was absent. and notwithstanding the pro- testations of his wife and son took away several bags Of potatoes. Sube sequently Garrison began the har- vesting of a bay cropon land leased by Gardner from the state. . In order to have an understanding with his neighbor Gardner one morn- ing shouldered his gun and_procead- ed to the Garrison cabin. He found the latter cutting Wood, with his riflea few feet away. Gardner says. he took up the subject of the pota- toes and hay but had said but a few ke whea Garrison jumped for his Tifle. Gardner ordered him to halt, but without avail, andin order to sive ‘bis own life he fired. Gardner then returned home as rapidly as possible and sent one of his bired meu to look after his wounded neighbor, He then proceeded to the nearest tele- phone eitice and senta message to the sheriff stating that he had shot Garrison and that he would meet the sat Grand Rapids.

The man was still alive but expired a few minutes after the arrival of the officers and the slayer, without having spoken from the time the fatal shot was fired. was then placed in the ggunty jail at Grand Rapi Mr. Billstein said yesterday: “Several Superior men are finan~ cially interested in the Gardner claim, and they bave implicit con- fidence in him. He has worked bard to develop.the mineral land, and not- withstanding the fact gthat he has been a victim of’ many adversities, he has proven his bonesty in a hun- dred ways. He took the best of care of his wife and family and is nota vicious man. The fact that he car- ried his rifle when he called on Garri- son has no particular significance. It isa wild country out there and all the settlers carry. rifles. “That Gardner has many friends was proven by the fact that le was no sooner io jail on a charge of mur- der than several Hibbing men re- tained for him one of the best’ crim- inal lawyers. While there is no doubt but what Gardner will be bound over to the circuit court, pub- lie sentiment isin his favor and his friends believe he will be acquitted. His Superior friends believe in bim and will aid bim as much as possible during the trial.” Hibbing vs Grand Rapids. Hibbing rubbed it into the Grand Rapids team again and it was no credit to thenr to doit either. It is hardly the right thing for the losers to charge the winners with being uh- fair but the Rapids certainly havea chance to roar. suicide Thursday afternoon at half past four by shooting himself through the heart. No motive is known. Scott had veen drinking heavily fur a few days. He did not seem despondent. *Just befure the shooting he wrote a letter, |towhom itis not. knovin, , it is*pre- sumed he sent it by the afternoon Ptrain. He sat alone in the office at the barn while other employes were just outside the door. The shot was heard and aftera short interval Scott fell through the doorway. A few hours bdefure the frevolyer was in the drawer unluaded. After shooting himself he ha@ put the revolver back’ on the desk by, the side of which he was sitting.” He will be buried today. ; Political Announcement.

They deliberately threw the game and took great deligtit in so doing. It must have been a trial even toa Hibbing rooter to see two evenly matched teams that could furnish a good game fail to flay their best. ‘3 When Hibbing was here for their game with Eveleth they picked up a qan from this burg and ro com- plaints were heard as to his not doing his best. ‘ The game tomorrow will give the town people their first chance to see Stafford work.

When Mark Twain, nursing his first born, was asked by a friend if he loved: it, he drawled, in reply: “I don’t ex~ actly love it, but—I respect it.” opinion, for when Boswell asked what he would do if he were shut up in a castle with a newborn infant the doc- tor confessed he should prefer soli- tude. When Charles Lamb was asked tow he liked babies he made stutter- ing anz-wer, “Madam, I like them |, b-b-oiled.” "| shall be held in the usual votin, Jebnsen was of somewhat the same | sd ‘ Cd Tells of Cass Lake Indian Sehool. “The aptitude of the average Indian child for learning is practically a cer- tain indication of the home influence of the child, 1f the Indian parents send thevchild to school because they want the child to learn and from a knowledge that it is good for the child: to secure at Jeast the-rudiment of an education, then the pupwl is apt, tract- able and industrious, but if the parents send their offspring to school because they have to or to get the youngsters out of the way, there is very little headway made with that child’s edu- cation,” said Benjamin Caswell, prin- cipal of the Cass Lake Indian School, who, with his, wife and litle daughter, is at the Merchants hotel. “Environment 1s everything with the Indian youth when he gets inside the school house walls. His howe influence absolutely determines his progress or his stagnation in school, and his school conduct largely fore- shadows his furture in hfe. The: government is doing everything pos- sible to lighten the way for our people and it must be said to their credit that many of them are making the most of their opportunities. “Caswell is a full-blood Chippewa. Born at Mille Lacs lake, he went with his parents when young to the White Earth reservation, where after attend- ing the resvervation boarding school he went fo Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvannia. He was graduated ‘from Carlisle in 1894, and says he was. captain of the footlall team represent= ing the famous Indian college in 1892. He speaks Enghsh almost ‘perfectly though his parents at Mille Lacs. were’ hmited entirely to the Chippewa tongue. Mrs. Caswell 1s an Onelda, and they are on their way home from: a visit to her people on the Onelda res: ervation near Green Bay, Wis. With the parents speaking different! Indian tongues, their common lang- uage 1s English, and their bright little gifl can speak nothing but this lang> uage.—St Paul Globe.” Democratic Cown'ty: Convention and Primaries.
