E. Bodenheimer reached Grand ‘ Rapids last Wednesday night on a freight train and made application to Marshal Seamans for a night’s lodg- He was accommodated with He in- printer and looking for work. The next morning he found employment ut the Independent office, where he worked until Saturday night. About 7:30 o’clock Saturday evening he ap- peared at the Itasca Mercantile store with an order for $20 worth of goods on ‘that house, signed by A. L. La- Freniere, proprietor of the Inde- pendent. Manager Dickinson was not familiar with Mr. La Freniere’s sig- nature, but was a little suspicious as to the genuineness of the,order and after turning his customer over toa clerk he walked over to the Inde- pendent office, where he' found the order was ea forgery. Bodenheimer selected quite a bill of goods and as they were being wrapped up Mr. La- Freniere walked through the sture. Bodenheimer quietly slipped out the rear north door of the room without taking either the goods or order with him. A little later he appeared at the store of Henry Hughes & Co., where he presented an order for $10 worth of goods signed by Mr. Las Freniere. Mr. Hughes, to whom the order was presented, O. K,’d it and sent the customer tu the gents’ fur- nishing goods department. Attorney Frank F. Price, who happened to be conversing with Mr. Hughes at the time, remarked that the order looked to him. like-a “phoney” document, Qvhereupon Mr, Hughes started to in- vestigate. Upon communicating with the newspaper man he found Price’s suggestion to have been a-good one. In the meantime Sheriff Hocliban had been notified of the transaction at the Itasca store and he was searching for the young man about town. Marshal Seamans was found and placed Boden- heimer under arrest as he was selecting goods at Hughes & Co.’s. While being taken to the jail be dropped several other Orders similarly made out and signed. They were afterwards found, some.at the west approach of ‘the court house bridge and others at the McDonald & Mc- Alpine corner. He was given a hear- ing before Justice Sims Thursday forenoon, when‘ he waived examina- tion and was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $500 bonds,:in de- fault of which he will remain in jail until Court convenes next month. Bodenheimer came from Aurora, LIl., from which city he had an Interna- ional Typographical union card. He has the appearance of a young man addicted to the use of morphine or some similar drug. He is about 25 years of age.

THOSE ABSENT AND TARDY The following table shows the at- tendance of pupils in the several grades of the public schools of Grand Rapids during the past month. The total enrollment of 510 is quite satis+ factory, but it is expected that this number will be increased somewhat. The percentage of attendance also averages well, but the last column, those neither absent nor tardy, is dis- couraging alike to the schovl authori- ties and teachers. Out of a total of 510 enrolled, there were 306 cases of either absent or tardy. This condi- tion of affairs must necessarily prove detrimental to tbe school work. It not only makes it impossible for those who are frequently absent or tardy to keep apace with their studies but it 1s demoralizing to the entire school. Every effort is being made by Supt. Freeman and his corps of teachers to bring about a more regular and punc- tual attendance, but if they are not aided in these efforts by parents they cannot hope to accomplish that de= gree of success which is essential to the best results of school work. At a meeting of the teachers held last week a startling condition, in some instances, was related by teachers in the lower grades. Many of the young children appear late, scarcely half dressed and in a number of instances without breakfast. In response to inquiries from their teachers these neglected children report that their mothers do not get up early enough to feed and. dress them. In cases of this kind there is evidently no remedy except by criminal prosecution ofor cruelty to children. It is quite ap- parent that there is work right here in Grand Rapids fora humane soci- ety. Of course thisis vot thuvole cause for complaint. A vigilant truant officer would tind.much to keep him busy Tor a time, until the truants were brought to a full reali- zation that the school laws of: the state must be adhered to. + {8 poe ae TEACHER 2 | es| 53 A 281S8 2 q|Sslae £ 3 15858 5 ala 12 1 |Viola.

Postmaster Mc- Vicar received the notice this week and posted it in his office. The bids will be received up to November 14, the service to begin December 1 and continue under the contract to June 1, 1906. Thirteen mails weekly is called fur making two daily except Sunday.¢ The mail-carrying stage will leave Grand Rapids at 7 o’clock every morning and 30’clock in the afternoon. This improved mail ser- vice is prubably traceable to Superin- tendent Greenway’s infinence with the administration at Washington. Mr. Greenway was President Roose= telt’s guest down south recently. LONG DISTANCE IN TEN DAYS Local Manager Keith, of the Grand Rapids Telephone exchange, informs us that the Mesaba Telephone com- pany has completed its line to Bovey and communication with the outside world was inaugurated on Wednesday. The line will. be. pushed through to Grand Rapids as rapidly as possible and will be connected here about the fifteenth of this month.

LOST IN FOREST ALL NIGHT Fourteen-Year-Old Son of John Eck- mai Goes Hunting and Remains Out Nearly Twenty-tour Hours. Feet Badly Frozen. i Edward Eckman, 14 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Eckman, of Bovey, bad an experience last Friday night and up to Saturday about 2 o'clock that will not soon be effaced from his memory. Friday afternoon of last week the boy left his home with guu and dog in search of game birds. He traveled alung through the woods in a southeasterly direc- tion until darkness came on, when he started, as he supposed, in the direc- tion of home. After walking a rea- sonable length of timee he realized that he must be lost. But he kept on, accompanied by his faithful dog. The hours passed, and yet no road or sign of habitation. The night was cold and the situation must have been such as to chill the heart of even an old-time woodsman. It was late in the night, probably towards morn- ing, when he heard the barking and snarling of timber wolves close on bis track,. He realized ‘that to climba tree for safety would probably result fatally from the intense cold weather. Finally he reached Prairie river into which he waded a considerable dis- tance to escape the pursuing beasts, He followed the course of the stream a considerable distance and about noon Saturday he reached the Bovey road somewhere in the vicinity of the nortaeast corner of the state farm, three miles from Grand Rapids. He at once recognized the land marks and started on his homeward trip. His feet were badly frozen and walk- ing was slow and painful for him. On the way he passed several teams but did not. make himself known until he reached some men werking on the road about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. When he reached home it was found that his feet were in pretty bad con- dition from the frost. The delight of his distracted parents may easily be imagined when Edward walked into the house. In the meantime, while the lost boy was wandering aimlessly through the dark, forbidding forest, all Bovey was aroused. The whistles at the mines were kept blowing at frequeat intervals and a searching party of about-two hundred men was organized and «went out through the territory supposed to have been the hunting grounds traversed by the boy. The faithful dog remained with him and appearea to be as much fa- tigued as was Edward when the two reached home. The injury to the boy’s feet will not be permanent. SCHOOL SAVINGS ARE PILING UP The deposits of last month made in the First State bank by the pupils of Grand Rapids public schools aggre- gate a total of $133.80. This showing is inuch larger than the most san- ,guine promoters of the plan antici- pated. It is evidence that the pupils and parents are taking a lively inter- est in the savings project, and a splen- did start has been made for some future bank accounts Death of Mrs. Hans Nelson. Mrs. Hans Nelson, aged 26 years, died at her home in this village on Wednesday evening at 6:25 o’clock, after suffering from appendicitis for ten days. An operation was per- formed some days ago but the patient was too low to rally from the weaken- ing effects. The deceasea was married in Grand Rapids six years ago to Hans Nelson, and this had been her home since, where she made a large circle of friends by her true womanly traits of character, and her death is sincerely mourned by all who knew her. She was a member of the order of Royal Neighbors and also a member of the Swedish Ladies’ Aid society. Both these orders turned out yesterday afternoon and attended the funeral | services held at the Swedish Lutheran church. Services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Truelson, of Hibbing. In- terment was made in Itasca ceme- tery, the remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends and neighbors. ‘Vhe bereaved husband has the sym- pathy of the entire community.
