ARTHUR FOUND DEAD IN A SWAMP Nude Body of James McArthur Dis- covered in Muskeg Northeast Nashwauk. ‘BELIEVED TO HAVE MET FOUL PLAY ‘Corpse Located in Remote Spot, Face Downward, With Two Sticks Over Head in Form of Cross, Another murder has been commit- ted in Itasca county, or at least the | body was found in this county, al- ; though it is very possible the deed | Was committed in St. Louis county and the body brought in here as it was found 12 miles northeast of Nashwauk and only three miles from ‘the St. Louis county line. The body of a half nude man, who was iden- | tified late last night as James Mc- Arthur, better known as “Scotty,” ‘was found in a muskeg swamp, late Saturday evening, by Lawrence | Bright, who with his father lives on ‘a homestead in the country beyond ‘Bryan brook. Bright was hunting a stray cow when he came upon Mc- jArthur’s body, face downward on a bed of moss, while his head was al- ,So imbedded in a pile of moss and ,two sticks had been placed above his head in a rude attempt to form | @ cross. Bright went to Nashwauk where be notified County Attorney McOuat ;by "phone Sunday evening. At that {time, no one from Nashwauk would | credit the statement it was the body of a man who had met foul play and had been dead only four days at _ the outside and many thought it was a man from Duluth who was _— sent out there last spring. This man, whose name we could not learn, had an attack of delirium tremens and broke from his companions while near this muskeg and was never heard of again. Deputy Coroner Pet- erson, of Coleraine, was sent out to get the body and he brought it to Coleraine on the Monday evening train where it was held awaiting f identification. | Sheriff Riley, County Attorney Mc- ;Ouat and a Herald-Review report- = drove over Monday evening to ‘view the remains and the report that ‘he had met. with foul play received | ample confirmation. His skull had been broken in at the left temple | ana there was a bruise over the ‘right eye; the bridge of the nose !was broken; there was a bruise at ‘the base of the neck. The only ‘other marks were black and blue | tinger prints under the armpits. This, in itself, is sufficient evidence of foul play, for, had the murdered man been carrried to the muskeg before | meeting his death, there would have ‘been no such marks. although he had on no shoes, his |feet were not cut nor bruised in any manner. As the he was discovered was about as re- ;mote as any that could be found in the country, he must have been car- ‘ried in. It would have been impos- sible to walk in without leaving marks of cuts and bruises on the | feet. When found, all that covered the body was the lower garment of a suit of underwear.

Layed in Grand Rapids the | Past Summer. ‘SEVEN HUNDRED FEET CROSSINGS Village Is One of the Most Up-To- Date in Municipal Improve- ments on Range—Over 7 Miles Cement Walks. Grand Rapids is known among the rest of the cities and villages on the {range as the “home town of the | range.” When one arrives in the village, he instantly perceives he is in a different atmosphere. The vil- lage has an air of permanency, solid- ity and a home-like appearance that is distinctively its own—and it is something that is lacking in the other cities and villages—and some- thing they would give anything to Possess. In fact, Hibbing would read- ily give us anything she possesses for our pine trees and band organ- ization. But, to return to our subject, few cities in northern Minnesota now have a better system of cement walks and crossings than has Grand Rapids. In fact, we know of none that can claim superiority in that respect. There is just one thing that would add to the beauty of} Grand Rapids—more carefully cared for lawns. There are a number of: property owners in the village who take pride in their lawns and keep them up, among them is E. A. Krem- er, whose lawn is not surpassed inj northern Minnesota, but their ap-| pearance is marred by ill-kept lawns! that if attended to properly cou'd be made to look as well as Mr. Kremer’s Grand Rapids now has over seven miles of cement walks. We have been unable to obtain the number of feet in crossings but it is very | probable there is about 8/000 feet. During the past season there have been 2,283 feet of cement sidewalk laid, while there has also been 700 feet of cement crossings laid. Both the sidewalk and crossings are six! feet wide, with the exception of 28 feet of 12 foot sidewalk on Third | | street, and the price paid for putting | them in was 78 cents per square yard for walks and 15 cents per cubic foot | for crossings. Street Comm,ssion- ! | er Thos. Benton has kindly furnished the Herald-Review with the follow- | ing. list of walks and crossings and | their location: Crossings—Ncrth and south, corner Leland avenue and Fifth street; east | | and west, Leland gpd Fifth; aoa | and west, Leland and Fourth; north j jand south, Leland and Fourth; east | | and west, Leland and Second; east | | and west, Kindred and Fourth; east and west, Kindred and Fifth; north | and south, Kindred and Sixth; north and south, Kindred and Seventh; | | east and west, Hoffman and Ninth; } east and west, Hoffman and Tenth.

W. E.

While walking through| the woods between Brown’s dam and AT MODEL VILLAGE Swan lake they found Victor Maki, a Finn homesteader, in a rather bad condition. Fifth Annual Meeting of Itasca Sun- day Schools to Be Held There It seems that Maki, who is unmar- ried and has a fine homestead with November 10 and 11. farm buildings was erecting an ad- dition to his house and was nailing rafters in place when in some man- ner he slipped and fell to the ground, breaking a rib. When found by Messrs. Bawden and Robertson, he was in a rather bad condition, being unaware that a rib was broken and not knowing what was the matter. As he had no money to pay for med- i HOLD SESSIONS AT M. E. CHURCH ica] attention, he left the fracture unattended. On their return to town, Mr. Bawden sent the township team out after, Maki and he was brought in and the bone set by Dr. Geo. C. Gilbert.
