| i — ——E RR Vou. XIV.—No. 49 HEAVY TERM OF DISTRICT COURT Judge McClenahan Will Open June Term Tuesday of Next Week. — AN UNUSUAL GRIMINAL CALENDAR “Large Number of Jail Casesto Be Presented to the Grand Jury and Ten Holdovers for Trial—Civil Calendar. On Tuesday of next week Judge W.S. McClenahan will open the June term of district court for Itasca county. By far the largest oumber of criminal cases ever presented at one term in,this county will be called for trial at the coming term. Per- haps no county attorney in the state has ever been confronted at a single term of court with the amount of criminal business that Attorney Thwing will have to present on be- half of the state. Most of these vases are important, four being on charges of murder. On the calendar there are ten criminal cases from the last term and about 100 civil cases. Attorney Thwing has been king hard in preparation for the forthcoming term and has the busi- behalf of the county and state well in hand. The cases that will be considered by the grand jury are as follows: Keaton Willes. charged with murder in the second degree for the shooting of his father at Deer River u April 12 last. The defendant was released on bail. John Meagher, charged murder for the killing of Morris Trowl at Big Fork on April 1. This case was the result ofa drunken e ina barn, the which are t Meagher secured bonds for his appearance at court. The charges ot murder against David Cochrane ana Fred Anderson, for the of Allen Whitt at Bass lake 17, is) still ness on with row that took es concerning plu ficting. shootin, n the afternoon of may fresh in the public mind, so far as the facts have reached the public through press reports. The prelim- inary hearing has not been concluded as the Herald-Review goes to. press this week. The case of Pearl Brown, charged with assault tn. the first degree will | aisc be presented to the grand jury. On January 2 last the Brown woman was engaged in a-quarrell with Billy Brown and in a rage she is alleged to have taken a shot at Brown that pierced the eye of one Frank Me- Grane who happened to be in line of the builet’s course. McGrane recov- ered, except for the loss of an eye. The defendant is out on bonds. Leonard Furgusson is held in jail on a charge of attempting to set fire to the Kelleher hotel at Deer River last April. Rube Patterson is anotber inmate of the county jail whose case will be investigated by the grand jury. Heis charged with having Hulehan at Deer Patterson is said others issulted O. EK. River last winter. to be a thug who was hired by to do the job Frank Lamier is heldin jail on a e of baving assaulted and rob- Adelbert Booth at) Bovey some | time ago. | Frank Corey is the young man who forged the name of Theodore Betts to a check for $18 and attempted to} get it cashed by Herman Bolin. He awaits consideration of his case by the grand jury. Daniel O'Leary’s liberty has been confined to the limits of the county jail for some time. He is held to the | grand jurd on a charge of having | unlawfully taken money from E. J.j Roadman, a restaurer at Bovey. Luke Osborn was charged with the crime of maheim on the person Of Walter cempbell at Nashwauk, several months ago. He evaded ar- rest until a short time ago when he was captured and place. in jail. This will be another grand jury case. Jim Anoka will have to answer to} acharge ofassault in the second degree on George Thompson at Ballclub a short time ago, Anoka isa Chippewa | Indian and assaulted Thompson, who isa white man, without apparent cause, attacking him from behind with beer bottles. Charles Plovetich is in jail for as- Granp Rapips, Irasca CounTY, Minn., Saturpay, JUNE I, 1907. saulting two Austrian women ab Holman. Peter Stork is another grand larceny subject who is in jail for robbing one Martin Dumper at! Coleraine. Paul and Frank Lucky, Leo Jud- sky and Charles Bergeman are charged with assaulting C. J. Maley, asaloon and hotel keeper at H-upt. . In addition to the foregoing there will probably be many cases presented to the grand jury that are not made public by the state. The prospects for a long and ex- pensive term are exceedingly bright at this writing. WANTED BY ITASCA COUTNY Teny DeLoretos, murderer — of con- | Samuel Ibsen at Holman on May 5, for whose capture and conviction a reward of $300 is offeaed—$250 by the governer of the state and $50 by Sherifi Hoolihan of Itasca county. BLIND PIGGERS PAY THEIR FINES Sheriff“Hooliban made a raid on several Austrian blind piggers in the vicinity of Holman last Saturday and as a result over four hundred dollars was paid in tines and costs into the county treasury on Tuesday. For some time it has been suspected by the authorities that violations of the liquor laws of the state had become a common custom in the vicinity of the mining locations, but it is not so easy matter to secure convictions in such cases. County Attorney Thwing had securred such evidence, however, as appeared sufticient and he swore out several warrants, placing them in the hands of Sheriff Hoolihan. For sever- al days prior to the arrests the sheriff laid plans not only to get the men wanted. but also the nece: evi- dence for conviction. Last Saturday he raided the places under suspicion aud in each case he was rewarded by finding not only the guilty ones but plenty of grog in their possession to supply ample evidence for conviction. The parties arrested were all trian miners who were doing a retail liquor business on the side to help keep the wolf from the door. They live in the vicinity of the Hol- man mine. Katie Karich, wife of an Austrian miner, was found in possess sion of a quantity of beer and whis key, and before Justice Bailey she entered a plea of quilty for which she paid a tine of $50 and costs, amount- ing to $68.17. Lu Smylase and wife pleaded guilty to sejling liquor } without a license and paid a total of $76 84. Steve Helimovich paid a total of $66. Mike Zigvich and Peter -Ove- royitch paid 103.64. Peter Petrich pleaded not guilty and will havea bearing today. The evidence against feter is said to be ample to result in conviction and he, too, will probably plead guilty rather than incur un- necessary expense. He w--~ released on his own recognizance. Attorney Thwing and Sheriff Hoolihan are de- termined to wipe out the blind pig business in the county. Itis reported that a deal has been closed between Tom Kerr and Dr. Storch whereby Mr. Kerr has bought the property adjoining the Presby- terian church on the north and will put a livery barn on the lots.

In the afternoon it was alittle cloudy and threatened rain, but none fell to mar the occasiou, and the program as published in the Herald-Review last week, by direction of the lecal G. A.

Appropriate ceremonies were carried out and Comrade William Wetzel delivered an address to those assembled in honor of the departed heroes. In the afternoon a com- mittee consisting of members of the |G. A.

THREE PER CENT REDUCTION { An Adjourned Meeting Held Monday Night Last at Which ; a Two Cent Per Killowat Reduction Was Made. An adjourned meeting of the vill- age council was hela last Monday night when tke vexed question of clectric lighting was taken upand a new schedule adopted. Anyone not | familar with tbe proposition might [beled to think that the fixirg ofa rate could be equitably adjusted with little delay and with still less study and consideration, but such is by no Means the case. After the election of the council a year ago last March a readjustment of the light rate was expected by many consumers forth- with. Pro-election talk lead the public to expect a reduction in rates. The men elected to serve as council- men went into office with a firm determination to study the proposi- tion and learn wherein the trouble lay that caused so much complaint. This they undertook to do alvog business methods that bas finally resulted in theadoption of a schedule that gives a general reduction of two cents per killowat. The only means by which an equitable basis could be fixed was to tirst ascertain the actual cost of production, the necessary amount required fora sinking fund, . “If Its Fashi “a The Store Gathered from America’s Itasca Mercantile Co.

The present council has taken these figures and from the showing made have been able to announcea very appreciable reduction to all consumers. The schedule adopted ranges from 10 cents to 64 cents per killowat, as published elsewhere in this issue of the Herald-Review in the official proceedings. It apparentiy has been the aim of the council to redch a just and equitable rating for every patron of electricty in thé village. The price has been brought down to the actual cost of production. The assessment for lighting the streets, power house, village hall, public library, and any other public place, was fixed at $3,640, which is an inc ef $1840 over the assessment of a year ago. This was done bes cause it has been demonstrated that private consumers have been paying for public lights, as the assessment That Grand Rapids will celebrate the nation’s natal da > July 4, 1907, on an elaborate scale is now an assured fact. The financial cormmit- tee has not yet corapleted its work of calling on all businessmen,but such a generous response has been accorded the solicitations made that the mem- bers of the committee feel safe in announcing that the arrangement committee may proceed to engage some of the very best attraction’ to be had.
