TWO BLACK HAND MEN RETURNED Dominik Pappatola and John Muso- lin Returned to Itasca County By Canadian Government. It will be remembered by readers of the Herald-Review that Frank Tino, Dominik Pappatola and John Musolin, alleged Blach Hand member » arrested at Bovey on April 24, , for alleged extortion of money. © complaint was made by Joe Ian- none, an Italian laborer of that place. He and two other Italians, Frank Cappoetta and Rasiaro Sparino, were met by the three alleged members of the Black Hand society and demand made of them that they each thwith produce $25 on pain of ant death and a dagger was pro- duced to strengthen the demand. Sparino. managed to produce $5 Iannone, who had been held I similar occasion, managed to geti away on a plea that he would to go to town’ to secure the was on a t have amount demanded. Instead of so doing he made complaint to a police- man with the result that the bandits lodged in jail. A hearing was held in justice court at Bovey and they were bound over to the grand jury, the bail being fix- ed at $500 in each case. They had only been lodged in the county jail a few days when W. H. Dean, inspec- tor in charge of the department of Commerce and Labor of the United Immigration service, arrived here claiming that Tino was wanted by the Canadian officials on a charge of murder. It was also claimed that he was a Black Hand organizer and was wanted at various placés. As Pappatola and. Musolin both came ta this country by the way of Canada, an effort was made to com- pell the Canadian government to ex- them, but the officials refused ept them and they were re- to the custody of Sheriff Tino, however, was given t it Ft. Francis and he and his father up for five years States port to acc R were sent evidence given at the justice hearing would tend to show the Western Mesaba range is Black Hand organiza- ms and that Pappatola and Muso- are both bad men. They will be held to await the action of the grand jury at the October term of the dis- ct) court with TEACHERS ARRIVE TO BEGIN SCHOOL With Exception of Miss Anna M. Becker, Delayed By Death of Her Father. Both the old and new teachers se- lected to take charge of the various departments and grades of the Grand Rapids schools are here with the ex- ception of Miss Anna M. Becker, of Fremont, Michigan, teacher of music and drawing, who ‘was delayed owing to the death of her father. She will arrive in time to take charge of her department Monday morning. The in- structors have returned from their vacation trips looking refreshed both in mind and body. Supt. E. A. Freeman taught mathe- matics in the summer school at Du- luth for six weeks, afterwards taking a trip to Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and Texas points. Miss Katura Cobb enjoyed her vacation at her home at Millersberg, Ohio. Miss Katherine Fiske spent part of her va- cation at her home at Marshall, Minn and the balance of the summer on a ranch near Billings, Montana. Miss Florence Burlingame visited at Clin- ton, Minn., the greater part of the summer. Miss Honora Hessian visit- ed various points in the western part of the state during her vacation, while Miss Effie Hall spent the sum- mer at Austin. Miss Carmen Miller and Ailda Holmes spent their vacation Ely, Minn., and Detroit, Michigan., respectively. Mrs. Clara Grove attended the Yukon-Alaskan exposition and made a two month’s stay on the coast. Miss Bessie Santee enjoyed the vacation months at her home at Plymoth, Minn. Miss Mar- garet Aiton spent the summer at St. Peter and Miss Anna Sampson visit- sity of Minnesota, German and the sciences; Mr. Ferdinand Schumacher, Sioux Falls, S. D., manual training; Miss Anna Schmidt, Minneapolis, fifth grade; Miss Katherine Doran, Grand Rapids, second grade; Miss Lillian LeFebre, Grand Rapids, as- sistant kindergarden teacher. A new department created this year in that of the sciences. This was formerly distributed among several teachers, but could not be handled satisfactorily in that manner and so a new department was made. Mr. Krueger will also act as football coach, an announcement which will meet with favor among the students. A meeting of the teachers was held at the high school building Mon- day afternoon and various matters were discussed relative to the school work. Tuesday, the opening day of school more than held its own in attendance in both the grade and high schools. The day was devoted in establishing a routine of work. The schools were never in better working condition on the opening day and prospects are bright for a very successful school year. THE ENTEPRIGE OF A COMMUNITY (Continued from first page) Mr. E. O. Steber, who had charge of the cuisine and dining room of the Ollila, knows how to serve the public in a manner that will make his hotel dining room one of the most popular on the range. The fol- lowing menue was served. Cream of Chicken Olives Celery Baked Whitefish a’la Ollila Young Turkey with Oyster Dressing Grilled Sweet Potatoes Chicken Fricassee Banana Fritters Mashed Potatoes Corn on Cob Combination Salad Vanilla Ice Cream Wafers Roquefort Cheese Water Crackers Coffee Capt. E. A. Rogers of the LaRue mine acted as toastmaster and he acquitted himself in a manner that will put him in demand for future like events. His opening remarks fitted the occasion with admirable appropriateness, and caused the guests to feel at home and fitted then to receive with greater relish the talks that were to follow. Mayor Henry Hogan responded to the toast, ‘““Nashwauk—Past, Present and Future.” That he did the sub- ject full justice was attested by the frequent interruptions of the delight- ed guests and the applause which followed his remarks. Dr. John L. Shellman was assigned to the subject, “Our New Hotel.” That he understood the importance, significance and value to Nashwauk of the Ollila was made apparent by his talk on the subject. He spoke of the public spiritedness and com- mendable enterprise of the man who had invested many thousands of dol- lars to give Nashwauk one of the very best hotels in all northwestern Minnesota, and his remarks were met with responsive approval. Attorney John C. Lewis discussed “A Greater Nashwauk” in a way that stamps him as somewhat of a humorist as well as philosopher and prophet. ‘ E. C. Kiley of Grand Rapids was assigned to fix “Nashwauk’s Place in the Development of the County.” Mr. A. P. Silliman of Nashwauk spoke on the future of the Mesaba range, and no man in this section is better qualified to do the subject justice. He is both a scientific and practical mining man, and was able to quote figures and estimates of the range’s riches that were interesting and instructive. However, Mr. Silli- man places a higher value on the agricultural resources of this section than on the iron resources, and advis- ed the business men of Nashwauk to give greater attention to the set- tlement of the rich agricultural lands than they have been in the habit of doing in the past, It was past one o’clock in the morn ing when the guests arose from the and grounds are monuments to the architects who prepared the designs vided with sixty sleeping rooms. The dining room is 20x80. The hotel is conducted entirely on the European plan the dining room and cuisine being in charge of E. O. Steber, a gentleman of many years experience in the business. Mr. Ollila has per- sonal charge of the management of the hotel. Steam heat, electric lights and water are supplied throughout the building. A basement 57x100 feet extends under the entire building. The Ollila has already taken its place among the modern first-class hotels in northwestern Minnesota, and Nashwauk is to be congratulated upon having among its valued citizens a man _ like Charles Ollila to erect and equip so commodious a hosletry. SUPT. FREEMAN VISITS MEXICO While On Western Trip Crosses Rio Grande and Witnesses Bull- Fight at Juraz, Mexico. Superintendent E. A. Freeman, of the Grand Rapids schools, returned from a month’s trip in the west and southwest Saturday morning. He spent several days at the Alaskan- Youkon-Pacific exposition at Seattle and thinks it is the most complete fair of its kind that has yet been held in this country. The buildings and the flowers are the most beauti- ful ever seen by Mr. Freeman. He also stopped a day or two at Spokane, North Yakima, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angles, Sacre mento, El Paso and Houston. At El Paso he crossed the Rio Grande into Old Mexico and was filled with wond- er at the primitice customs of the peo- ple at Juraz, the town which he vis- ited. It was like a glimpse into an- other age, the people still retaining the costumes that were in vogue two hundred years ago. are one story high and constructed of abobe, a clay which is much used in that country for building purposes, while the walks are made of sand, which has been packed into a con- dition like cement by long usage. The mission, which is still used, was built in 1549. While there he noticed one of the natives sweeping the paths of the park with a broom which consisted of a stick with several wisps of grass tied to it. He also witnessed a bull fight in the amphitheatre which is made of stone and will seat about 7,000 peo- ple. It has two entrances, one on the shady side and another on the sunny side, an admission fee of 50c is charged on the shady side and only 25 cents on the sunny side. The amphitheatre has no roof, but the walls cast a shadow on one side which makes it a very cool and com- fortable place in which to sit while witnessing the contest. The amphitheatre is circular in shape and the pit is about one hun- dred feet in diameter and has a gate through which the bulls are rushed into the ring by slinging stones at them. As the bull goes through the gate, a small spear, containing a brad on the end, is thrust in his sholder, which, as he walks along, sways to and fro, thereby infuriating him. After the bull has become suffici- ently maddened to meet with the ap- probation of the blood-thirsty audi- ence, mounted matadors come into the ring armed with short spears and endeavor to prick the animal when he rushes them, without injury to themselves or the horses. When the spectators become tired of this play, a matador enters the ring on foot and as the bull makes for him, he steps aside and attempts to split, the jugular vein. If successful he is cheered by the audience, but if he fails in the attempt he is greeted with hisses and groans and another matador takes his place. Three or four bull-fights take place in Juraz each Sunday, but Mr. Free- man was well satisfied to leave at the conclusion of the first fight, as attendance. The population of Juraz is about were also the other Americans in 15,000 and is entirely Mexican, {with the exception of the saloon- keepers and proprietors of the curio shops, and their nature is such that it requires something cruel and re- volting to please them. | There are also cock-fights on near- maddening anc The buildings } { handled, and it is said that the store Rev. R.R. scott were pleased to greet him Saturday upon his arrival for a brief visit from Bemidji, where he has been sojurning since last Janu- aly. For two years Rev. Mr. Scott was pastor of the local M. E. church and when he was transferred to an- other field of labor his health was failing. Shortly after the doctors pronounced him to be effected with tuberculosis of the lungs. He was forced to give up his work in the ministry and later the physicians ad- vised him to return to Northern Minnesota from Ohio, where he had gone to the home of his parents. He went to Bemidji and after four months of severe struggle against the white plague he began to rally and today he is again enjoying apparent good health. He says he feels ex- cellent and has every reason to hope for complete recovery. His improved appearance was cause for much re- joicing among his Grand Rapids friends. Mr. Scott has secured a position as clerk in a logging camp for the winter months, where he hopes to continue improving in health until he will be the physical equal of the hardiest lumberjack that ever “plew in” a winters stake. Will Fish For Bass. M. S. Burrows of Duluth accom- panied by Drs. E. H. Johnson and Jules F. Menistrino of St. Louis, Mo., were Sunday arrivals on their way to Mr. Burrow’s hunting lodge at the head of Big Trout lake. The two doctors expect to put in some time angling for black bass in the numer- ous lakes to be found in that section. Mr. Burrows will not be able to re-| main but a few days as his time is much taken just now in overseeing the arrangement of his new store building in Duluth. Years ago Mr. Burrows set the pace of modern merchandising in northern Minnesota and after five years retirement from ‘business, he will open up a new store in the Zenith city that will be a model of its kind. Ready-to-wear clothing for men and women will be will be one of the most unique and attractive in the United States. Mr. Burrows says it will not be ready to| open until next spring. The party started for camp Sunday afternoon. % SPY DDO SEO SORT Soros Suit Worth 5.50 Of course! FOR $3.00 «$4.00 A SUIT.
