The village has contributed the sum of $300 to which the business men of the vil- lage have added $700 in prizes, mak- ing a grand total of $1,000. The entire sum will be distributed in prizes for -the various games and races which go to make the day in- teresting to all. However, this will be a safe and sane Fourth of July celebration, no giant fire crackers will be allowed, the committee wisely deciding that a celebration can be made a success without the aid of the giant fire cracker. The small boy with his package of fire crackers will be out at the first streak of dawn to proclaim that this is the nation’s birthday. The parade will form promptly at 8:30 a. m. at Village hall, and only those entering at that time will be eligible for prizes The parade when formed, will start at the corner of Leland avenue and Fifth street and will march west through Third street to Kindred ave- nue. It ‘will then march down Kin- dred avenue until Third street is reached, when it will march to Le- land avenue again. At the corner of Leland and Third, the parade will pause for a time, during which the calithumpians will entertain the crowd. The parade will then go dow Leland avenue directly to the base ball grounds. Promptly at 10:00 the game be- tween Grand Rapids and Marshall- Wells team of Duluth will take place. The Marshall-Wells bunch are fast players and the Grand Rapids team will have the strongest line-up they have had this season, so it will be a red hot game from start to finish. In the afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, a Second game will take place be- tween thé sime two teams at thé race track. The horse races, automo- bile races, etc., will also be held during the afternoon at the race track. The races will start at about 2:30 o’clock.

Kind friends of the good Sisters, noticing their love for the embellishin of their surroundings, will give an ice cream sociable on the hospital lawn, Thursday evening, July 8, the pro- ceeds to go toward improving the hospital grounds. It will undoubtedly be the biggest social ever held at Grand Rapids, since all are aware of the good work of the Sisters who never refuse a sick person, pay or no pay. There will be a large turn-out. All through the afternoon and evening ice cream and cake will be served and not stingily either. Roecker’s band will play from 7:30 until 9:00 o'clock p. m. and then the popular moving picture men, Myers & Doug- las, will interest the crowd with some special] pictures gotten for the occasion. There is no limit set on the amount you pay for your ice cream and cake, and you cap contri- bute as you please for the pleasure of watching the moving pictures. The word, “The Sisters” is enough to bring all out. All aboard—Thurs- day evening, July 8—Hospital lawn. Spang-Hoolihan. Matt Spang and Miss Nora Hooli- han were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by the Very Rev. Dean Buechler at the Wm. Hoolihan home Tuesday morning at nine o’clock. Im- mediately after the ceremony, which was performed in the presence of a few intimate friends, the guests sat down to a wedding breakfast. Mr. Spang was very secretive about the affair and his friends accuse him of We wil give a detailed account of the wed- ding ceremony in our next issue. a The Criminal Cases Have Been Continued Over to the Next Term of Court. CALENDAR PRETTY NEARLY CLEANED Present Term of Court Has Run Continuously for 7 Months— The Petit Jury Was Dis- charged Monday. During the past week Judge Mc- Clenahan made considerable progress in cleaning up the calendar of old cases that have been handed down froiti oe term of the District court to the next; in some cases for sev- eral years. r, All the criminal cases were eithér disposed of or were continued until the next term of court. The six cases pending against Andrew Hi. Randabl and his son, Hannes BE. Ran- dahl, for falsely auditing claims and forgery, while officers of the town of Arbo, were continued until the October term of court. The bonds of William Anderson, who appealed from a fine imposed by a justice of the peace, were declared forfeited for non-appearance. Among the civil cases, Frank F. Price .secured a judgment for legal seryices against John H. Miller, of $104.60. The most important case tried dur- ing the week was that of Henry Thie- len, of Goodland, near Swan River. Mr. Thielen is an extensive contract- or for ties, posts, etc., having several, camps near Swan River. He claim edposgession of several horses Y cows from William M. Henry, under a chattel mortgage. Mr. Henry con- tracted to furnish from 1500 to 2000 railroad ties to Mr. Thielen, but ow- ing to the mild winter of 1907-1908, he was unable to haul them to the landing where they could be deliver- ed. It was also claimed by Mr. Thie- len that a good many of the ties were made from dead timber and worm eaten, and that only 165 were delivered. Suit was commenced for the foreclosure of the mortgage on the horses and cattle and for money advanced for supplies furnisheg during the winter. After getting a jury and taking testimony for two days, the case was finally comprom- ised and the jury dismissed. On Monday morning June 28th, the jurymen who had been in_ service since May, were dismissed from ser- vice. The remainder of the calen- dar consists of cases which will be submitted to the court without a jury. It is thought that they will all be finished by July 10th, On July 12th Judge McClenahan will open a term of court at Inter- national Falls. The docket in Itasca county is in better shape now than it has been for several years. There has been considerable dissatisfaction in the county over the crowded con- dition of the calendar, and the con- sequent slowness of the cases to come to trial It is thought that the future terms of court in this county will be much shorter than they have been heretofore. The present term of court has run continuously for seven months. “What is your name?” Asked At- torney George H. Spear of a witness he was cross examining. “P. McGuire,” replied the witness. “Give us your full name.” Said the attorney. “Just the same, drunk or sober,” said McGuire. “You might state to the jury what business you are engaged in over at Bovey,” Mr. Spear asked, in his usual suave manner. “Sure,” replied the ever-ready Pat, turning to the jury, “I am living on the outgoes of me money.” Take Notice. All those who have been in the habit of leaving their stock run loose are hereby notified that if it is al- lowed to continue, same will be taken up and owner will be fined.—Chie of Police. : Keo Leroux was a business visitor at Deer River, Friday. Two Laborers Quarrel Over Trivial Matter and Brakeman Hit Dumpman with Shovel. THE BLOW CRUSHED THE SKULL IN In the Excitement Murderer Escaped to the Woods and is Being Hunt- ed by Posse, but Has Not Been Caught. Tony Bollotti, aged 40, an Italian dumpman in the employ of Butler Bros., contractors of St. Paul, engag- ed in grading near Nashwauk for the Grand Rapids-Nashwauk extension of the Great Northern railroad was struck over the head last Friday ev- ening and almost instantly killed by Vito Duella, aged 25, breakman on a steam shovel. The murder occured shortly before six o’clock. The two men started quarreling over a trivial matter at the pit and had apparently settled their differences, both riding on the cars to the dump. On their way to the dump they began bickering again and had hardly arrived when Duella grabbed a shovel and struck Bollotti a vicious blow on the head fracturing his skull. Duella at once dropped his weapon and before the other workmen could recover from their surprise, disappeared into the woods. A large pose of deputies have been scouring the country between Hibbing and Grand Rapids, but no trace of Duella has been found at this writing Bollotti was at once taken to the ‘hospital and a physician summoned. ‘kTbe injured man never regained: -con- Bclousness and died at eight o’clock that evening. He was married and had a wife and four children. With his family he had resided in Nash- ywavk during the past five years and was well known and respected. Duella is unmarried and arrived at Nashwauk recently. He was regardec as a good workman,, but was quick tempered, though not given to quar- reling. Sheriff Riley was notified by telephone shortly after the tragedy occurred and he immediately drove to Nashwauk accompanied by County Attorney Price. The authorities in al the range towns have been notified and it is not believed that Duella can escape. FINNEGAN ASKS _ FOR INJUNCTION Petitions Judge McClenahan For Order Restraining Town From Selling Bonds. Notwithstanding the large major- ity in favor of the issuance of Grand Rapids town bonds in the sum of $20,000 by the electors of the town- ship, Mr. B. C. Finnegan seems to be of the opinion that the people did not know what they were doing, or did that which they did not want to do when they voted on the prop- osition. The contention of Mr. Fin- nigan is, to draw it mildly, rather presumptuous. He makes an ap- peal to Jadge McClenahan, through his attorneys, Thwing & Rossman, for an injunction restraining the town board from proceeding with the sale of the bonds as it was au- thorized to do by vote of the people. The claim is set up that two ballots should have been provided instead of one—that the amount calculated to refund the floating indebtedness should have been submitted on a ballot separate from the amount to be used for road purposes. The ar- gument ie made in the petition that had the two propositions been sub- mitted on two ballots instead of one the refunding bonds would have carried and the road bonds defeated. Mr. Finnegan’s position is not well taken from any view point. It can hardly be presumed that any body of electors would vote $6,500 extra in order to float $13,500, as a matter of presumed economy. If that theory be accepted it must follow that the people of this township are deficient in judgment to the extent that bor- ders on damfoolishness.
