A couple of weeks ago a little story of local interest was cast upon the can and the way that fellow Lefevre scrambled to disguise himself was a caution to criminals. He explains to the ex- tent,of almost a page in a man- ‘ner that doesn’t explain anything to the facts as set forth in The dope dealt out i the same used’ by him in infamous testimony giv- en «in district court when John ine was being sued on the r to which he makes refer- ence, Judge W.

This is a matter of court record. isprove this statement, J. Le- or stand convicted as a self-confessed perjurer. The little story of human inter- . heretofore published hit the nail so squarely on the head and Lefevre squirm so furiously it is here reproduced from our unerring searchlight of truth: |A LITTLE STORY OF LOCAL INTEREST M. Gunn Was J. Lefevre. “J. Lefevre, now — editor of the Grand Rapids Examiner, had been in the employ of A. J. Dwyer as mp clerk. Dwyer'’s business a: became involved and a dea Was made whereby John McAlpine, of Duluth, took over Mr. Dwyer’s holdings and assumed Dwyer’s ob- gations. $ r Gunn was one Some time nearly all else that makes for un- his case tries to forget because he had a strong arm and a stout heart in her day of trouble. He was in a way an ideal soldier. And yet he gave the nation nothing but what he had to give. How man thousands have given as much, at greater sacrifice, according to their equipment? And it must be remembered that, at/or in want, with nobody to whom \even in his day of glory the coun- try did more for him than he could possibly repay. The position which it bestowed, and its emolu- ments in cash and fame, were cer- tainly such as to leave it owing him nothing. It seems another case jin which, having received all_any |man could expect for duties well | performed, he thought he was en- {titled to more. It begins to be jevident that he was less a man than a soldier; that when his life |is scanned from all the angles | which the public have a right to | View it, he was of far less stature j than most of his associates about | whom fame has been silent. | -But it is well that he has been ‘saved the horrors of a prison and {its disgrace—well for an old man of his evident disposition and ap- parent lack of appreciation of things as they ought to be. To one keyed to a loftier chord, however, the fact that he had earned the criminals stripes, in view of his vast opportunities, would prove the greater punishment. But it will hardly weigh on the general's soul. His has ever been the Sickles way. He is a spoiled child, long past the age when men should have returned to dust. TOOLE WORKS HARD FOR NEW HIGHWAY Impresses iin State Commission Necessity of Ssate Road in Itasca and Cass. M. L. Toole, former sheriff of this county, now residing at Feder-! al Dam, Cass county, returned from St. Paul Thursday, where he did effective work with the state high- way commission in the interest | of a projected state highway, in- tended to pass through Itasca and Cass counties. Mr. Toole laid the petition for the road before the commission, told the members of the big, fer- tilg district it will go far to de- velop and put forward the \claims of the country as a growing farming section, which already contains hundreds of settlers whose prosperity is being retarded for want of better roads. The proposed road will traverse the Federal Dam section, on the Soo road, which is rapidly filling | up with industrious and substantial’ farmers, and contains some of the best lands in the north country. Mr. Toole has devoted much time | to this question and has accom- plished a great deal in convincing the state commission of the profit that ‘would accrue both to the stat — the settlers by its construc- 10n. Be ee ee INTE are not to be denied in/r The nation forgives and |v could be reached. One day Lefev- appeared before Senator Gunn, th tears in his eyes, a lump in throat, nothing in his stomach, nd still less in his pocket, and ‘related a story something like this: | He was in destitute circumstances; not a dollar with which to buy pro- vision’ for his wife and children; | Dwyre owed him six hundred dol- lars for services;he couldn’t starve himself and allow his family to starve, while awaiting settlement of the affairs of Dwyer; could Mr. Gunn accommodate him with $150, and take an order for the amount against the Dwyer es- tate? It would be a great favor, etc., etc. SenatorGunn wanted to know why he couldn’t fix his claim up with McAlpine, who had taken over the entire holdings of Dwyer. “You know the sort of man John Mc- Alpine is,” replied Lefevre. “He would see a man starve and rot rather than help him out, unless there was something in it for him.’ Gunn yielded to the appeal. Here Was a man actually in need. His family was in want for the neces- jsities of life; he was out of em- ployment; he should be given re- lief. Dan Gunn’s generous heart | responded with $150 in cold cash. To Lefevre, however, he did not appear as a kind-hearted, generous neighbor. No, Dan Gunn to him was an “easy mark.” He had been “conned” easier and for a larger sum that Lefevre expected. And so it pepe cned that he went back later with another story of distress. Again he was successful,making the total amount $300. The orders he gave were absolutely worthless,be- cause A. J. Dwyer did not owe Le- fevre a dollar. The account had been settled in full by Dwyer. It was aclear case of obtaining money under false pretense. It was a con- fidence game for which many a man has and is serving time in penitentaries. It was a confidence swindle for which J. Lefevre should be serving time at Stillwater today. But he isn’t. Why? Because of the generous impluses of D. M. Gunn. He would rather bear the loss and allow himself to be swindled out of three hundred dollars than to take Lefevre away from his family and send him to the penitentiary. The reader may draw his own con- clusions as to the character and moral worth of the two men. This was the only business or other transaction D. M. Gunn ever had with J. Lefevre. The people of Itasea county know how the favor extended Lefevre has been ap- preciated. His thanks have been expressed in villification and slan- ders that only the vilest ingrate and moral degenerate could’ be guilty of.” GRAND JURY TO DEAL WITH KNIFE ARTIST Steve Parlich Held on Charge of Stabbing Bovey Miner Fif- teen Times. Steve Parlich, charged with stab- ing Iso Njedovan fifteen times dur- ing a saloon row at Bovey two weeks ago, has been held to the grand jury, having waived examin- ation in justice court Thursday. He was liberated on $400 bail, which was furnished by friends. He is accused of assault with intent to/ do great bodily harm. Parlich is said to be real handy with the knife, and to have par- ticipated in many battles before coming here. The man he is accused of stab- ing is an industrious mine worker. He has been discharged from the hospital.
