The remains were prepared by Undertaker Kremer for shipment to Simpson, Minnesota, where his par- ents reside, Miss Hilma Olson, who has had charge of the sixth grade at Central school, has resigned her position. She will be married during the holidays and will reside in New York. Miss Seralda Murda, of the third grade, has also resigned.. Their places in the school have not yet been filled by the board. Mrs. Mary Gertrude Binsfield died at St. Benedict’s hospital on Thursday after a brief illness. ‘The attending physician pronouaced her disease to be peritonitis, The remains were shipped to Victoria, Carver county, this state, for interment. Fer brother, Minrod Ochaer, accompanied the remains, The “Winter*King,” a cantata, was presented at the High school audi- torium on Thursday evening by the pupils of the public schools. Prepara- tion for the presentation had been in progress for some time, and the good- sized audience was well pleased with the delightful entertainment. Capt. James Murchie came down from the Itasca Logging company’s works Sunday last for a day’s visit at home. He has been engaged running lines for the company and says}that seventeen camps now in operation keep him running all the time. The captain says that 1s the busiest section of Itasca ‘county just now, Mr. Henry C. Tuller returnea with his bride to Grand Rapids on ‘ues- day of this week, He was married to Miss Nellic E. Smith at Sage, N, Y., on November 15, Since that time Mr. and Mrs. ‘Tuller have visited many eastern cities of note and on their westward trip visited relatives and friends in Michigan, ' Ex-Sheriff M. L. Toole of Itasca county, now one of the prominent merchants of Cass Lake, was in town Monday and ‘Tuesday on business. While here he signed the Gardner bond. Mr. Toole owns a tract of land south of town on which mining men desire to secure an option. The offer made him was not satisfactory and no lease was made, One of the most useful. and orna- mental calendars that has yet been presented to this printery bears the name of John Beckfelt, proprietor of the old reliable “Pioneer Store,” where everything good in_ general merchandise 1s kept. The calendar has a map of the state of Minnesota, in colors, 10x13 inches in size, and will be found very convenient both in business and private huuses. C. M. Johnson, our former towns- man, but who for a number of years has been one of the prominent and successful business men of Cass Lake, was recently appointed postmaster ot that village. He won out in a six- cornered fight, and it is the Herald- Review’s opinion that the best corner was selected. Mel Johnson will make an efficient and accommodating post- master. Mr. Johnson was doing business in Grand Rapids Thursday and Fnday, Joseph Ley, of Winona, father of Frank Ley, who was acquitted ona charge of obtaining a signature by false pretenses, in the district court this week, lost a pocketbook contain- ing $375 mn currency and notes for over a thousand dollars last Sunday night at Hotel Gladstone. He occu- pied a room with his son and John Anderson. Mr. Ley is not sure whether he lost the money or it was stolen from his person. Little Alice, the six-year old daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F, McCormick, had a miraculous escape from being seriously if not fatally hurt, one day last week. ‘The little one attempted to catch on toa sleigh load of heavy timber, when she was pushed off by another child. She fell under the runner which passed over her leg at the knee jomt. Dr. Gendron was called and found that no bones were fractured although the flesh and ten- dons were badly bruised. She is get- |ting along nicely and will fully recover. Martin Hayes broke a window in| the Chinese laundry shop Wednesday evening. Hayes. was’ intoxicated at the time, and whether it was an acci- dent or intentional, the Chinaman in charge seemed to- think it a case of attempted robbery, He ran out of his shop with a big revolver in hand and held the culprit at its point until Officer Seamans ar:ived, who took him over to jail. When in the jail office the policeman sat down to record the prisoner’s name. As he did so Hayes landed on his jaw with the alacrity and neatness of a trained pug. But Mr. Hayes was sorry a moment later when the officer fin- ished with him, When locked up the effect of exessive drinking devel~ oped and he proved to be an unruly inmate for a time. In justice court week. Mrs, Poole is at anshospital in| yesterday of pneumonia.|. “© €eunty Commissioner James Pas- |. sard picked up a lady’s purse on the street the other day and found that it Eopiained a watch, diamond ming, ten dollars and some cents. By a card in the purse the owner was made known to Mr. Passard and the valuables were promptly returned. J. S. Leary, formerly superintendent of the Grand Rapids electric light and water plant, was here this week look- ing after some business matters. Mr. Leary ts rated as one of the best elec- tricians, and at the present time holds aresponsible position with a firm at Fargo, N.D. He wasa member of the Grand Rapids band and hke all first-class musicians he was very popu- lar with the boys who “toot” horns, and it is needless to say that he was royally treated by his former associates during his brief sojourn here. Mr. Leary owns some land close to town that promises to yield iron ore. ‘The httle Saskatchewan valley in western Canada has a warm advocate of its agricultural productiveness in Mr, N, Washburn, who has acquired title to half a section of land in that province. Last year was his first ex- perience at farming in that far west- ern country and he found it quite satisfactory. He arrived a couple of weeks ago on a visit to his sons, who still call Itasca county their home, to remain until March next, when he ex- pects to return to his Canadian farm. Mr, Washburn brought along some samples of wheat, oats, barley and po- tatoes that appear to be almost equal to similar products of Itasca county. INCREDULITY Is NOT WISDOM ‘The man or woman who is incredu- lous and suspicious of others is very apt to meet with many disappoint- ments and failures in life. Instead of seeking the truth, investigating and learning things as they actually exist, there are those who are ever suspicious of others and fear that in some way they may get “cheated,” or that someoue else may “get the best of it.” These are not the jolliest people ou earth and they are not the kind that build up and make prosper- ous communities. Take for example the great sales that have been carried on of late at the Enterprise store. Every one of these bargain sales has been bona fide and justas represented through the Grand Rapids papers. Fvery claim set furth as to values and the big reductions offered from regu- lar prices has been adhered to and the people of this community have bad the benetit of lower priced goods than. was ever before offered in this njan’s town, Yet; in the fave of these facts, ‘there are some people who question the truth of the assertions made by the Enterprise proprietors. Others claim that it is not a genuine closing-out sale and that Ben Levy does not intend to quit business in Grand Rapids. As proof of this they point to the fact of his having bought the big bankrupt stock of Bangle & Co. of Deer River. The merchant who understands tis business well knows that such a move is no indica- tiou of a continuance here in busi- ness. While disposing of the orig- inal stock and drawing the crowds a line of goods not heretofore carried, and bought at 33¢ cents on the dollar, can be simultaneously handled to the advantage of the merchant and the buyer alike. This is a genuine clos- ing out sale, and when the stock has been disposed of Ben Levy will with- draw from the business circles of Grand Rapids. The reasons for this change have been fully stated here- tofore and do not need repetition. In the meabtime the great bargain sales continue. The prices still remain at the very bottom. Every purchaser, however incredulous he may be, can- not fail to be convinced that there is no fake in the Enterprise announce- ments. The stock must be disposed of ina limited ttme. Get the prices and you will buy. hat’s all the En- terprise asks. Charles and Abe Levy, in charge of the store, report that they have had a very good holiday trade. The great bargains cannot always last. The goods are going. GARDNER IS AT LIBERTY Joseph H. Gardner was released from the Itasca county jail yesterday afternoon in time to catch the 3 o’clock train to Hibbing where he will spend Christmas with his family. He had been confined in jail here and at the state’s prison in Sullwater since his arrest for the killing of Wm, Gardner in July, 1904. His emotions upon again gaining hberty after about eigh- teen months confinement, with a life sentence hanging over him since De- cember of last year, can be more easily imagined than described in words, His faithful wife was at the jail to meet and greet him with a heart that overflowed with joy. It must have been the supreme moment of her life when she at last fully realized that her tireless efforts to secure the free- deom ef her husband had triumphed and he was again at liberty to return to his home and family. H. L. Shepherd, accompanied by Mrs. Gardner, arrived from Hibbing on the 3 o’clock train yesterday morn- ing with a bond for Gardner’s release bearing signatures that represented not thousands, but millions of dollars, aati i ete “he Palace Ca DAVE CHAMBERS, Prop. sat fe Christmas Dinner, 1905 Soup. .~ Chicken, a la Royale Relishes.

One of the bondsmen alone qualified for $100,000, who is rated a millionaire. Eighteen signatures were attached to the bond and the aggregate amount for which they qualified was $357,000, or $342,000 more than was required by the court. It was perhaps the most remarkable document of the kind ever presented toa court under simt- har circumstances. The bond had been carefully prepared by Gardner’s attorneys and was impregnable in the hands of County Attorney Spear who tried in every way possible from early yesterday morning until nearly two o’clock in the afternoon to find a flaw, real or imaginary, whereby he could longer hold Gardner in_ prison, The court fixed the amount of bond and ordered the prisoner’s release up- on the approval thereof by the county attorney. When the document was presented containing the signatures of men representing milhons of dollars there was no room left for quibbling as to its sufficiency on that score. After wrangling with the attorneys for several hours he finally attached his signature of approval but would not give his consent to the release of Gardner. The wires were used to Judge Spooner at Bemidji and Spear ally consented to the release. ‘Those who signed the bond are: M. L. Fay, Virginia; W. G. Close, A. H. Powers, J. J. Cox, Bryan O’Raurke, J. A. Healey, R. L, Giffin, P. J. Ryan, J. A. McCarthy, A. D. Smith, T. F. Brady, Thomas Veawer, and Nels Olander, Hibbing; John McAlpine, Kenneth McDonald and H. L. Shepherd, Duluth; M. L. Toole, Cass Laks; D., M. Gunn, Grand Ra- pids. When Gardner walked out of the county jailto the court house there were many friends present to greet and congratulate him, The attorneys who will defend Gard. ner are Frank F. Price and C. C. McCarthy, of Grand Rapids, and Judge W. M. Steele, of Superior. Shot at Swan River Last Sunday evening in the peace- ful precints of Swan River, Larry Martin was shot by J. J. McDonald, according to the allegations of the un- fortunate Larry. Martin was brought to Grand Rapids and taken to St. Benedict’s hospital when Dr. Russell found that only a flesh wound in the right side had been inflected, and that no serious results would follow. The assailant is no less a distinguished personage than J. J. McDonald, the hotel proprietor and general mauager a groggery at Swan River. He was arrested and brought to Grand Rapids where he gave bonds for his appearance on Tuesday night. Martin says he knows of no reason for the shooting. He went into the place and called for a drink, which McDon- ald retused to serve. Presently anoth- er party came in and McDonald went behind the bar to wait on him and also waited on Martin at the same time. They then sat down eand en- gaged in a general conversation but nothing of a serious nature was said by either party. During this conversa- tion McDonald displayed a revolver, taken from his pocket, which he said was the thing that makes the laws in this country. Presently Martin start- ed to leave the place and was followed by. McDonald to the door where the gun was discharged, either by accident or intent, SKIING VERY POPULAR CLUB ORGANIZED AT BOVEY HAS A LARGE MEMBERSHIP. THE NATIONAL TOURNAMENT™ At Ishpeming, Mich., on February 22, '- Will Be Attended by Bovey Run- ners and Large Delegation of Citizens, Skiing in this northern . country~ promises to become the sport* of: all winter sports. In this immediate territory no especial interest had been shown until a few enthusiasts organ- ized a club at Bovey some weeks ago. Since then an old-time rumner-here: and there pricks up his ears at the- mention of the game, and before long we expect to see a rumway and “jump-off” selected by a local organi- zation. In the meantime. the Bovey- ites can lay claim to being the pio- neers in the sport in Itasca county. There has been very little said through the press of this section on the subject up to the present time, and hence there may be many an expert ski jumper hereabouts who is not aware that there 1s a club in existence any. closer than Duluth. Superintendent Greenway and H. C, Dudley» of-the Oliver mines at Bovey are leaders in the ski movement in the new mming town. They have both had experi- ence and enjoyment out of this ex. hiliarating sport in the upper penin- sula of Michigan. ‘They will make an. effort to take some of their best run- ners to the national tournament at Ishpeming on February 22, Mema bers will be added to the club as fast as applications are made. It is ex—- pected that a sufficient number will go from here to justify the chartering of a special car at least, if not a train. The Duluth Herald of Sunday last says: Skiing combines most of the good features of a winter sport with few drawbacks. It is difficult to imagme anything more exhilarating than the rush down a steep hill on the miniature toboggans, the leap, the flight through the air, and the prob- lem of alighting and maintaining a proper balance. There 1s little or no actual danger to life and limb if the run is well se- lected and carefully prepared, but there is enough skill required to es- cape falls to give that element of chance and the spice of risk which 1s essential to all true sport. Skiing is above all a gentleman’s sport, and presents many difficulties to the professional who would gain his living by it. It is a sport where every man can gain his full share of enjoy- ment whether an expert or not, and the youngest novice has an equal chance to enjoy the sport with the most expert runner. Some idea of the exhilaration of the sport may be gained from the fact that last year at Ishpeming, the aver- age speed of the runnerat the “bump”* was estimated at ninety miles an hour. With such a speed he “took off” from the platform and sped through the air a distance of from 100 to 150 feet be- fore landing in the soft snow and cons tinuing his trip down the bill, *
