MUNSON LIKES THE WEST. Itasca County Logger Back froma Trip to the West Where He Has Large Lumber Interests in ‘Company With R. B. Lewis. B. P. Munson arrived ia Grand Rapids the first of the week. He had just returned from a trip to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where ne has recently acquired large timber interests. In company. with R. B. Lewis and other gentlemen, Mr. Munson is just enter- ing pon the mauufacture of lumber at Goeur d’Alene. He has great faith in the future of that country and looks forward Lo a prosperous era. The name of the cuvcera of which Mr. Munson is a member and vice- president, is the R. B. Lewis Lumber company. 1t was organized with a capital stock of $800,000. This com- pany sow has one of the largest and best equipped sawmills on the eastern slopé of the mountains. It cousists of two double band mills, with the latest modera machinery for manu- facturing about seventy-five million feet aseason. White piue is the prin- cipal timber sawed, allhough there are a number of other varieties of wood in that locality which are pro- duced in limited quantities. Yellow, or western pine, as it is sometimes called.ys found in fairly liberal supply, as ig also red fix, which is of quite a different character from the yellow tirof the coast. ‘This ted-fir is uot mueh heavier than the white pine. Thote is also some larch, formerly calléd tamarack. This makes an ex- cell@et finish and is used largely as a Substitute for hardwoods. It is heavy and close grained and takes a high tinigh. Mr. Munson says they also have a‘sUpply of very good cedar. ‘The ompaby has an extensive tract cf um er, which will keep them sawing for the next thirty years to come. 'Palking of some of the timber in that qougtry, Mr. Munson says that numer- ous §pecimens of western pine could be found which would cut eleven and swelve sixteen-fuot logs. These trees x, ttle iaper. In fact, he has of three logs cut from the ich scaléd identically ure.

Kupari was suspected of the crime. but evaded the officers for some time. When he was finally caught by Shenff Hoolihan it was felt that the strong evidence at hana would result in a verdict of guilty by a jnry. ‘The court appointed Attorney A. L. Thwing to defend the accused, and he handled the case in a manner that resulted in an acquittal. Attorney Frank F, Price appeared before the court and entered a plea of former acquittal by virtue of the ver- dict in the former trail of Wm. Reyn- olds on the charge of arson. He was sustained by the court and Reydolds is a free man. In cases where defendants plead guilty County Attorhey Spear finds no difficulty in securing convictions. In the cases of L.-‘foms and Fred Decker, they pleaded guilty to petit larceny and were given ninety days each in the county jail. Abner Toms, charged with grand larceny in the second degree, was dis- charged on motion of the county attorney. a: , George Woods pleaded guilty to the charge of malicious distruction of property and was fined $100 and sen- tenced to ninety days in the’ county jail. After boarding Wm. Flynn in the | county jail for several months at the instance of County Attorney Spear, on acharge of aiding the escape of a prisoner, he was finally given his hiberty on the motion ot Spear. Flynn had personally defended his own case in court on a criminal charge, which was prosecuted by Mr. the last term of court. Spear when an acquittal. tollowed the vengeful attorney. was given the “horse laug:.’’ Flynn was again thrown in jiil and- there retained at county expense until the state was forced to call the ‘case for trial. When he could be held no jonger on pretext Spear moved his discharge. ‘Lhe case of Andee Hanna, another grand larceny charge, was also nol- lied by the county attorney. Getting Even at County Expense James A, Stuart came up from Duluth yesterday in response to a summons for his presence in Judge McClenanan’s court. He will give testimony in the case of George H. Spear against the board of county commissioners for the allowance of a billin favor of Mr. Stuart while he was publisher of the Magnet.* Mr. Spear could not make use of Editor Swart and henge he proposes to get even by putting the county to several hundred dollars expense by bringiing Mr. Stuart into court to defend his rghts and collect that to which he is justly entitled. This is the same case in which Spear, as county attorney, protested against the paymeut ofa bill in the sum of $100 to the Heraid- Review. ‘The case was tried to a jury in district court at an expense of about $300 aud the jury found that the services performed were in keep- ing with the charges and a verdict was returned in favor of the Heraid- Review. In order to satisfy Mr. Spear’s spite Itasca county was com- pelied to pay out about $300 in hard cash, ‘The case now pending is identically the same. Mr. Spear has more spite and Itasca county has more money to pay for it. Registrations Neglected. When the Herald Review applhed to ‘Town Clerk McMahon for a hist of the births end deaths in the township of Grand Rapids during the past year that official announced that he had no record thereof, except in a few in- stances. ‘The reason given by him was a very good and sufficient one. He had not been supplied by the proper persons with the facts. It 1s the duty of every attending physician ata birth or death to report the fact at once to the town clerk. It 1s also the duty of every undertaker'to make reports of buriais to the town clerk. ‘The law requires both physicians and undertakers to do this. It has not been done in Grand Rapids township, Mrs. J. B. Bennington of Bemidji, formerly a” resident here, visited with Grand Rapids friends a couple of days first of the weck.
