THREE BODIES ‘ARE RECOVERED Herbert N. Cooper of Grand Rapids, Peter Healey, Jacob Seibel and John Boitz of Hibbing were the Victims of Accident. News of the drowning of four men in Dora lake, about fifty miles north oi Deer River, on Thursday of last week, was a shock to this community as well as to the people of, Hibbing, where three of the gentlemen lived and were prominent citizens. Owing to the isolation of the lake where the accident occurred particulars of the sad fatality had been received only in fragments and withuut authenticity uptil the Hibbing searching party brought the bodies of the three men from that town back to civilization. | thirty years, may be regarded as hay- ing been a resident of, this town, as he worked here at his trade at differ- ent times in the cigar factory of George Booth, and was a member of the local order of Maccabees. The Hibbing men‘were all well known to -Inany of our citizens. They were: | Peter Haley, Jacob Seibel and John | Boitz. ; x * Up to the present time no word has been received of the recovery of Cooper’s body. T. H. Shoaf, repre- senting the order of Maccabees, and ‘ethers, are still searching for the | remains. There is no means of knowing how the accident occurred, but it is pre- sumed that. the party was crossing the lake with a heavily loaded row bdat and was overtaken by a squall. Dora lake is very shallow and treachous in time of storm. The following account was sent from Deer River on- Wednesday of this week: é With the return to this place this evening of the Hibbing searching party, bringing with them the bodies of the three men from that village who were drowned in Dora lake last Thursd’y,no moredefinite information as to the sad accident is at hand than has been the case since the first re- ports of the drowning were received, The last of the three bodies was re- covered yesterday afternoon, that of John Boltz. It-was found 25 rods from those of Seibel and Healey, and it is supposed that he had made an at- tempt to swim to shore after the Seibel’s body had been recovered on Saturday and that of Heatey on Mon- day. Those two were not far apart and Healey’s pack was found uear the body. The boat was upside down when found, but it is not kuown how the accident happened, as there were | no witnesses to the tragedy. ACCIDENTALLY KILLED BY FRIEND While out bunting ‘near Trout Lake, about‘a mile from town last Sunday morning, A. M. Lngalls book-| keeper for the Bovey Hardware com- pany, and one of the supstantial and popular men of Bovey was accident- ally shot by his intimate friend and companion, John Specht. Death followed within 15 minutes, as the shot severed the jugular vein. A man by the name of Olson was a third member.of the party and wit- uessed the tragedy. \ Specht shot ata weasel and the bullet struck a rock and was deflected upward and ata side angle, striking Ingails who was about 50 feet dis- tant, inthe neck. When the shot was fired Ingalls was not inline by several feet, and had the bullet not been deflected sidewise it would have missed him easily. The remains were brought to town by Specht and Olson and the author- ities at once notified. A coroner’s jury. was impanelled by Deputy Coroner Peterson and an inquest was held thesame day. After hearing the lated by the two witnesses the jury returned a verdict to the effect that Ingalls came to his death accident- |tally, and entirely exonerating Specht from any blame, “AL” Ingalls, as he was familiarly known among his friends. was about “years old and had been employed ;as bookkeeper by the Bovey Hard- Ware compauy for about nine months, coming here frowiGladstone. Mich. He is survived by his wife and a six- lyear-old son, his parents and. a brother, E. E, Ingalls. The parents are living. at Coleraine with’ the latter, who is manager.of the Cole- raine Haraware company. When the newsvt her husband’s | tragic death had been conveyed to Mrs. Ingalls she collapsed and is in a precarious condition. Ingalls had for some time been the Bovey and Coleraine corrospondent for the Duluth News ‘Tribune and the last work he did in that capacity was to report the blowing up of the miner’s cabin at Coléraine yesterday morning in which three Italians were killed and four others injured. The body was held until Tuesday awaiting the arrival of his father, who was absent at the time and whose whereabouts were not defini- tely known. The funeral was held in Bovey and the cortege that accom- panied the remains to Grand Rapids cemetery Tuesday afternoon, was One of the larges® the locality has ever witnessed. Rev: E,.

Deputy Warden Harry and Deputy Sheriff Fish Gather in Half Dozen CONVICTIONS PROMPTLY SECURED Six Iowa Men Come Into Itasca County to Hunt Without License ‘and Before the Season Opens. Three Slain Deer Found. The executive agent of the Minne- sota game and fish commission will probably come to a realization of the fact that* convicition of game law violaters ¢an be secured in Itasca county. In years past, with one or two exceptions, Sam Fullerton, hither- to executive agent, has sent men from other sections of the state into Itasca county to act as deputy wardens. These men were inexperienced as to their duties, unacquainted with the country and in every way altogether incompetent. About the best they could do was to sneak around the home of some homesteader and find a slaughtered partridge or grouse. In such cases convictions were not easily secured. The people were not in sympathy with such prosecutions. ‘They wanted the poachers—men who slaughter for sale in and out of season— and those who come from other states to hunt out of seeson and without license in season—these were the chaps that the citizens of Itasca coun- ty desired to see prosecuted. ‘The present executive agent has evidently been led to believe that by the ap- pointinent of competent men, residents of the county, better results would follow. He named the two police officers of Grand Rapids, Jesse Harry and Art Seamans. They have already begun to show results. B, S. Luce, H. D. Silbu, Frank Soule and J,. J,.Nash, of Davenport, Towa, R. H. Allen. and George L. Prentice of Sioux. City, Lowa, arrived in Grand Rapids on October 22. ‘The party left the text day for the north conntry, equipped with outfits that made a noise like sports. The game wardens noted their presence in the village and later their departure. The officials wisely gave thee visitors time to locate and give evidence of their intentions and purposes. On Tuesday Deputy Harry and F. W. Fish, of the sherff’s office, . started north to join the supposed hunters. They were located at acamp_ near Wason lake in 59-24 While on the road going north the officers met Messrs. Allen and Prentice of Sioux City, coming to town with a farmer, The load looked suspicious and upon investigation the carcasses of two deer were found.. The game was confis cated when the hunters reached Grand Rapids... The four Davenport men were found comfortably settled in camp with one deer hung up. They were brought to town and taken be- fore Justice Huson. ‘The six pleaded guuty to the charge of bunting out of season. The Davenport gentlemen each paid fines and costs to the amount of $98.65, while Messrs Allen and Prentice paid $92.65 each. The total footed up to $573.90. The wires were touched to the banks of the respective parties and the cash ‘paid into the proper channel. Most, if not all, the men arrested and fined, will take out license, pay- ‘ing therefor $25 each, and continue their hunt aceording to law, on and after tomorrow, when the big game season opens. Many applications are being received by the deputies here for licenses for parties living outside the state. The first conviction has hada good effect, but there may be others. TWO SUSPECTS ARE RELEASED County Attorney Thwing of Itasca county, the sheriff and deputies and the detectives of the Steel corpora- tion appear,to be baffled in their en- deavor torun to cover the villains who blew up the miners’ cabin at the Canisteo, Coleraine, early Saturday, resulting in the instant death of August and Mike Palnbello and Joe Dallegreen, and -the injury of four companions, The bloodhounds that were brought from Superior by Sergt. Osborne of that city failed to furnish any clue after | !repeated trials. The brutes took the { scent and followed it quite a distance | until they were puzzled and proved | unequal to the task. | arrested Saturday have heen reieased, as the county attorney is not of the | opinion that there is anything te connect them with the crime. The steel officials as well as the authori- ties incline to the belief that the ex- plosion was not the result of an accident, but wasa part ofa deep laid plot to put the seven ‘men sleep- ing in the cabin out of the way. Althcugh there are no tangible clues at hand, efforts to bring the guilty | parties tu justice will not be dropped. Rewards sufficiently large to attract skillful detectives are to be offered and the atrocious crime probed te the bottom. BUYS CHOICE REAL ESTATS M. McAlpine has purchased the interest of his partner, John Mc- Donald, in the building and saloon business situatedon the corner of Leland avenue and Third street, opposite hotel Pokegama. Mr. McDonald also transferred bis one- half interest in lots 10,11 and 12 block 18, situated on the same corner. The consideration is said to have béen $10,000, and is regarded as a bargin for the purchaser not ofter found in Grand Rapids. The corner is probably the most desirable in the village for business purposes. There are several buildings on the lots which draw good rentals. Messrs. McAlpine and McDonald have been associated together for many years and are regarded as being among our most substantial business men. As will be seen_by a notice of disso« lution published in another column of this issue, Mr. McAlpine will con tinue the business. The two gentle- men still own jointly considerable improyed and unimproved real estate, including the Ogema hotel and farm at Pokegama lake. Mr. McDonald is at present conducting a retail liquor business at Bovey in which McAlpine and McDanald are equal owners. Mr. McDonald contemplates making a tour of the west with a view to in- vestment and he may. fi 1 place wherein he will locate. A SUCCESSFUL PIECE OF WORK Johu Lofverg, the contractor, bas completed the lowering of the Hep fel building on Third street, and in doing the work Mr.Lofberg has dem- onstrated his ability in that line. The frame superstructure rested on a stone foundation of eight feet, which is builtof boulders and cement. To make the foundation and build— ing toconform with the established grade it was necessary to lower the structure tbree feet and eight inches. Mr. Lofberg took the con- tract and guaranteed to place the building, as was desired without damage. If wasaclass of work not hitherto nndertakenin Grand Rapids, and it was necessary to procure additional equipment which the con- tractor did at considerable expense, The water and sewer ,pipes were lowered simultaneously with the building, and during the process both water and sewer were in per- fect working order. lt was the general opinion that the large boulders in the foundation would not hold in place when once disturbea, but Lofberg seemed to know what he was doing and when the work was completed there was nvt acrack in the stone wall, The toilet room was built of brick and attached from the outside to the main building. That, too, was let down in safety without a break. Mr. Hepfel was put to much expense by reason of the establish- ment of the new grade, and it seemed particularly a hardship because the owner of the property had a grade established which he supposed had been legally recorded several years ago. No record of it, however, can now be found. BOSTON GRAND RESTAURANT Mr. J. ©. Myers has bought the Boston Grand Restaurant of A. M. Johnson and has taken charge of the business. Mr. Myers is a brother of William E. Myers, the liveryman.
