Giddy Glamour of Gay Be
midji Too Much For
Deacon Man.
WIFE FINDS HIM DOING STUNTS
WITH ANOTHER.
Lavishes Silk Umbrella On
Husband and Drives Him
Home to Drink.
A handsome and elaborately
dressed young gentleman, the
husband of a lady of the heroic
brunette type, and altogether a
hale fellow well met, who has
been enjoying a several week's
summer outing in Bemidji and in
cidentally living up to the legends
of the leafy month of June will
have good cause to reuioin ber his
visit to Bemidji.
This morning his wife who
arrived from a near-by city to
join him in his pleasuring after
several hours diligent search
located him in his evening clothes
in a down town wine room going
the gait that makes no noise but
is generally conceded to be suffi
ciently swift even for this sec
tion of the country. There was
a scene too hot to print, a bat
tered silk hat, and a general
meek and lowly appearance on
the part of the pastoral looking
young man and the committee on
credentials in the Unitarian
church of which he is a member
in his home city will probably
decide at its next meeting that
he is not entitled to a seat in its
conclaves if the story ever leaks
out.
The developments foregoing
transpired early this morning
while the good people of the city
slept and the parties to the affair
are not well known here, but are
said to be quite prominent in a
city not a thousand miles from
Bemidji. The incident is being
much discussed today and it is
generally conceded that the
wronged wife did about the right
thing when she whipped her
husband with her umbrella and
made him head a humble proces
sion to their hotel apartments.
The whole affair comes as a
very great surprise to those in
this city who are acquainted with
the pair, but it has been known
for some time that the gentle
man in rjuestion was fond of liv
ing a Bohemian life and has
spent money with a lavish hand
in seeing the sights about the
city ever since his arrival.
Gannon to Get Bonds.
Attorney Charles Scrutchin
went to Cass Lake this afternoon
to secure sureties for the bond of
Matt Gannon, the Spooner man,
accused of selling liquor without
a license. Friends of Gannon in
Cass Lake will be his sureties in
the sum of $500. The bond will
be perfected tomorrow and Gan
non will be released to appear be
fore the next grand jury.

Harriet Beecher Stowe's famous
drama on che road in this section
with a solo band and concert or
chestra is booked for appearance
at the City opera house early in
July. The company is now in
the Winnipeg country and has
just returned from a "Tomming"

Big Musknllonge In
Lake Bemidji.
J. 1). Phelps, a newspaper man
from Madison, Wis., who' is
spending a summer vacation in
northern Minnesota and- is
camped near Pine point on Lake
Bemidji, yesterday caught one
of the most handsome specimens
of muskailonge which has ever
been taken from the lakes in this
vicinity. The big fellow tips the
scales at over thirty pounds and
will be mounted in Bemidji and
sent to the office of the Madison
Democrat as a sort of trophy for
the fish editor. It was caught
while still fishing and made a
fight that lasted for nearly an
hour and required the greatest
tact and skill on the part of Mr.
Phelps to land it. Mr. Phelps is
naturally very proud of his prize
and says he doesn't think there
is any place in the world where
the fishing is as good as in Be
midji.
Banner Rube Bunch.
During the season that is just
closing Bemidji has been visited
by several excellent bands, but
the Joshua Simpkins band in the
city today is without a question
one of the best that has ever
visited the city. The band
heralded the glad tidings that
Josh was in town with an old
fashioned ttube parade at high
noon. Musicians began appear
ing' in the fantastic dress of the
country from all directions about
noon and soon the band was as
sembled. Every man* was a
musician. The instrumentation
of two cornets, two altos, trom
bones, drums and tuba was small
but the band was a linger, Sev
eral selections were rendered,
including the time-honored yet
pdpular "Kentucky Home" with
variations and a dainty medley of
popular airs. Bemidji audiences,
usually undemonstrative, gave
the band the hand. Then fol
lowed the Rube parade headed
by Uncle Josh "hisself." The
company carries fifteen people
and its production of the popular
pastoral tonight promises to be
something worth seeing.
Post Offers of Reward.
Relatives of N. O. Dahl and
daughter, Miss Aagot, have dur
ing the past week caused to be
posted in all the pbstofliccs and
public places of the northern sec
tion of the country placards an
nouncing the offer of a reward of
$2-50 for information that will
lead to the local ion of the missing
pair, dead or alive. Absolutely
nothing now has been developed
in the case for the past two
weeks.
Purchased Mains.
The water committee of the
city council had a meeting this
morning and let the contract for
the purchase of mains for the
proposed extensions to the new
water plant. The material was
bought through the agency of the
Jerrard Plumbing Co. Only part
of all the supplies necessary was
purchased at this time. The ma
terial necessary for the begin
rung of work at once was all that
was ordered.
The Grand Forks Colony.
The (Jrand Forks colony at
Grand Forks bay is assuming its
proper summer proportions. All
the cottages are now occupied
and several more are to be built.
Many of the first families of the
gate city of the Flickertail state
are spending the summer here.
The colony is located at one of the
most picturesque spots on Lake
Boundji and every member is en
joying the summer visit at the
lake. Nearly all the families will
remain until the city schools in
(irand Forks open in September.

PAYS THE CLAIM OWNER TO
BE CAREFUL.
Any Amount of Contests Begun
Have Been Successful And
Encourage Land Hungry.
Herbert McColley. a home
steader from the Big Fork coun
try who is in the city for a few
days, says that throughout all
the northern suction of the state
the land hungry cruiser and
prospective claim contestant is a
yery prominent figure, and the
claim owners in the vicinity of
the Big Fork are beginning to
feel his presence in several ways
that are far from pleasant.
Hundreds of people were dis
appointed at the Thief River sale
but cruisers and land sharks of
all sorts were in attendance and
worked among the crowd of
buyers who failed to get land .as
they wanted it. They were told
how easy it was to contest a stone
and timber claim or a homestead
right and in many cases the
cruisers showed them long lists
of lands that might be contested
with full details in the way of in
formation. They will take them
in and show them all land, place
all information they have at their
disposal and all for a very rea
sonable locaters fee.
All this was not without its
effect and the woods are litterally
full of mosquitoe-bitten tender
feet, who are willing and anxious
to begin a contest on almost any
ground.
There is no question but what
there are any number of valuable

pieces of land open to contest
under the homestead law but it
is also a fact that a* claim owner
who has done every thing he
should to comply with the law is
sometimes beaten out of his claim
after it has cost him a consider
able sum of money and labor to
say nothing of the time spent.
