A LAKE TRAGEDY ONE DARK NIGHT Pokegama Lake the Scene of a Par- ty in Distress—The Cause Re- mains a Mystery. There was trouble on Pokegama jlake last Friday night. Although the cruel waves were not cruel, the whitecaps did not cap, the raging billows did not rage, nor did the hur- ricane hurry. All was calm and peaceful as death itself. Not a rip- ple ripped. The hoot of the hoot bird could be heard ashore, and the whispers of the campers at Al- len’s landing were re-echoed back from the dismal forests across the placid waters. And yet there was The case of the village of Deer River vs. Ryan, which occupied the attention of the district court somee time ago, wherein the village sought tto compel Mr. Ryan to pay $200 li- cense per annum for the privilege of | panied by humam groans and sulphor- running a motion picture show at/ous articulations. The shore campers trouble, and in plenty. It was not loud trouble; it was trouble featured in dumb dispair. Only now and then was a “chuck, chuck” to be heard, a sound ‘like unto the laborious cranking of a gasoline engine, accom- ting to GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW | were divided in opinion as to ‘the identity of the individual emitting the sulpherous sounds. One declar- ed they resembled the quiet but de- termined voice of Bill Powers; an- other-said it was Bill Dibbert’s sub- dued rage as he wrestled with the engine’s cruel crank, still another ar- gued that it must be Jess Harry who was fighting for life and battling fate as exemplified by the remorseless misconduct of a gasoline engine. Later developments, however, ac- quitted the game warden of the as- sumption. He was at the wheel, and enjoying the situation as only he can enjoy the discomfiture of an in- nocent victim. Investigation reveal- ed that Jess was within convenient reach of the “juice tap’ that sup- plies the fuel. Did he tamper with the machinery? Do you know him? ’Nuf said. The mystery is solved. The snap was given to the Her- ald-Review by the following commun- ication, received through the mail: On Friday night of last week, if the people camped at Allen’s land- ing on Pokegama lake can be believ- ed, a strange noise was heard on the lake. Those who went down to the shore could see the dim outline of something on the water, and could plainly hear an indescribable noise; a sort of growl, accompanied by spas- modic explosions. There was also a peculiar odor in the atmosphere, which seemed to be a mixture of gasoline and sulphur. The _ people who were watching thought it was a submarine but it proved to be a small gasoline launch, and the wind being just right it blew in at the landing where something crawled out over the bow, which in the darkness resembled a cinnamon bear. Dark- ness makes most people timid, and po one went near enough to find out what it was, but it waddled off towards the highway, and such ex- pressions as “slush in the carbura- tor,” “Fitger in the gasoline,” (hic- cough) “Youbedam,” “gottowalk,” all of which were unintelligible to the hearers, were heard. Jess Harry was put on the case the next morn- investigate ——Harry’s report, venison in the carburator. Whether you have a good figure or not a good tailor can make you look as tho you had. You owe it to your- self to look your best at all times and a tailor maade suit is the only ladies garment that is absolutely proper for all occasions. Better see The Art Tailors early and be sure of having yours ready just when you want it. They make a specialty of ladies work and will make you a suit, coat, skirt, dress, hunting or | riding clothes in master workman style or if you do not care to put quite so much money in it they will order you one from the Radford Tail- oring Co. that will be just as per- fect in every detail but a little less expensive. GREAMERY STARTED TAKING MILK TODAY) Farmers in Every Part of the County Are Urged to Ship Cream to Grand Rapids. The Itasca County Co-operative as- sociation is now ready for business cad took in its first cream this morning. In connection with the event, Supt. McGuire, president of the associa- tion, stated that every farmer living at Warba, Blackberry, Laprairie, Co-| hasset, Deer River, Bena, Ball Club and in fact every place in the coun- try where any dairying is carried on, should ship their milk and cream to the Grand Rapids creamery, for they will not only receive the highest mar- ket price, but will also receive pay- ment on the first and fifteenth of each month, the board of directors thinking this would be a better ac- comodation to the patrons than the monthly plan of payments. Everyone should bear in mind the fact that the big creamery picnic will be held om the creamery grounds tomorrow. Everybody will meet ev- erybody else and it will be one of those old fashioned good times where formality is barred and where every- body will be welcomed.

ADELINE GAMACHE Remains Laid to Rest Last Friday Afternoon in Catholic Cemetery. One of the largest funeral corteges the people of Grand Rapids ever saw accompanied the remains of the late Mrs. Adeline Gamache to the last earthly resting place in the Catholic cemetery last Friday afterncon.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1911. and relatives accompanied the re- mains from Hibbing, who were met at the Grand Rapids depot by con- veyances to take them to the ceme- tery. Every available team in town was used by friends of the deceased to attend the funeral. Mrs. Gamache had been a resident of Grand Rapids for seven years prior to her remov- al to Hibbing with her son, Rev. Fa- ther Gamache. Here her husband died and was laid to rest in the fam- ily lot, where beside him now reposes the remains of his honored’ wife. Services were conducted at the grave by Rev. Father Buechler of St. Jo- seph’s church, with song service by the church choir. In speaking of the life of the deceased the Reverend Father spoke of the many virtues of the good woman who had just been called to her final reward. The good Work her son has done and is doing today in the cause of Christianity is much the result of the high and ho'y ambitions of the mother, said he. The long and useful life she had lived, is at an end on this earth, said the priest, but let us not forget the example she has set for us to follow. He pointed out the inevitableness of death, no matter how extended the years of life might be, and dwelt upgn the necessity of preparation for the hereafter every hour and every day. The special train left here at 3:30 returning to Hibbing. Card of Thanks. I wish to publicly eexpress my deep feeling of gratitude to the good people of Grand Rapids for the many kindnesses and acts of sympathy shown at the funeral of my beloved mother. It is jndeeed consoling, in the hour of grief, to know that we are thus remembered and respected by friends and neighbors. May the blessings of God be with you always, will be my constant prayer. (Rev. Fr.) C. V. Gamache. SETTLEMENT MADE IN KREMER MATTER County Commissioners Settle With the National Surety Co. for $15,000.

Thsi board, which was created by the 1911 ses- sion of the legislature, was given an appropriation of $8,000 for experi- mental purposes in reclamation work and will clear up several tracts of state lands in each one of the north- ern counties. The lands on which this work has been done will then be sold at the monthly state land sales, the purchasers to pay fifteen per cent down and balance to extend not over a period of forty years The settler who is fortunate enough to purchase one of these tracts will be enabled to start farm- ing operations at once. lowa Land Seekers.

This morning the three gentlemen with Mr, Stellmacher made a trip by auto east of town to look over the country, and returned at noon well pleased with what they saw. It is very probable that Messrs.

At a meeting of the school board held Monday evening, it was decid- ed to place the country schoojs near Grand Rapids under the super- vision of Supt. E. A. Freeman. In the past Mr. Freeman has only had supervision over Grand Rapids and Cohasset, but it has been found the eachers get along better and the | students make more rapid progress where schools are supervised by an @xperienced man, so it was decided to experiment on the schools near Grand Rapids. If the plan is success- ful it will be extended over the en- tire district. At the former meeting of the board John Lofberg was given, the contract for the construction of the cement walks around Central school. HOMESTEADS.
