WHITE BEAR.


About White Bear lake every one is
looking forward to the Fourth of July as
the great coming event. Preparations
are being made on all sides for the com
fort and proper handling of an immense
crowd of visitors on that day, and pleas
ant weather is the only thing now needed
to insure one of the biggest Fourths ever
seen at the lake.
White Bear village will furnish the usu-
al programme Of races, parade, etc, with
music and fireworks. Lake Shore pa
Vilion will put on it's most enticing at
fractions. Wildwood will be in prime
condition for handling a big crowd. Even
Cottage Park will probably furnish a
programme of fireworks above the ordl-
nary standard, as some or the gentle
men a. that point are quietly preparing
to distinguish themselves on that day.
The village authorities are making the
usual preparations to insure orderly be-
havior and to discourage undesirable
characters from seeking the village on
the Fourth. In word, all looks faVora-
bic for most creditable and enjoyable
celebration.
There have been several little ripples
of unWonted excitement and stirring up
of curiosity about the lake during the
past week. The clearing away of the I'M
derbrush along the shore has been watch
ed with some anxiety by few of the
property holders. A wild rumor even
spread abroad that President Hanna, of
the village council, had issued orders to
strip the large cottonwood trees in front
of the Markoe cottage of all their lower
branches, in order to give an unobstruct-
ed view of the lake from the road at that
point. But such fears are presumably
sroundless and it is not really believed
that any such intention has been eX-
pressed by our worthy village president
Meanwhile the work of improving the
cycle path and filling in gullies goes
braVelY on under his supervision, with
the unanimous approval Of all beholders.
Meanwhile Mr.. Partridge sprang a lit
tie surprise on the village council by
erecting a solid fence in front of his new
ly purchased property on Lake avenue,
taking in all of the cycle path and half
of the street al that point. A little sur
prise was expressed at the quiet acqui-
escence of the council until it transpired
that they had concluded that Mr. Part
legal rights and simply following the
lines of his property as plated The
matter will no doubt come up for action
at the meeting OF the council next Mon
day tomorrow, when some definite con-
clusion may be reached by all parties in
tereSted
caused by the sudden disappearance
from the scene of Dean Leaman, with his
entire deck and boat house and all his
boats. Mr.. Leaman had been told by the
owners of the property to build as usual
and they would not interfere with his
boat business. But they subsequently
rented the premises for the season and
made no mention of any rights having
been accorded to the boat business. A
difference Of opinion arose between the
present tenants and the Leamans as to
the extent of the special privileges to
be accorded to the tenants in the free
use of boats bait, etc, and the amount
of rent to be paid for the use of the shore
for the boat business, so both parties
concluded TO discontinue the arrangement
together. Dean Leaman removed his be-
longingS, as already stated, and the hotel
people are now building a pier Of their
own and making other arrangements for
furnishing boats to visitors and guests.
Finally at Lake Shore pavilion, that
much abused girl in the picture on the
ress in completing her toilet, and her
gentleman friend has donned such
complete bathing suit, that it is believed
they are both ready to face the big crowd
side. This is as it should be, and the
management of the pavilion are to be
congratulated upon their good sense and
judgment in this matter. Thus all is Sc
rene once more about the shores of our
beautiful lake, and charming peace reigns
supreme
Bear station are as beautiful as ever,
and are evidence of a true love of the
beautiful on his part. They are admired
by ell beholders.
Mrs w E. Sphinx, Of Shady Lane, has
still been tarrying with friends at Grand
FORKS during the past week, where she
is having a pleasant visit.
The Modern Woodmen Of White Bear
added several new names to their mem
bership recently.
Rev and Mrs. ]. G. Robinson are look
ing forward with pleasant anticipatlons
to the return of their son Harold, who is
expected home in few days.
Our worthy village marshal had his
own little share of excitement last week.
He held a warrant for the arrest of a
man accused of beating his WIFE and,
discovering that his man had ventured
back to his home, he proceeded to make
the arrest. OF course the abused wife
sided with the husband, and then the
boys came to the assistance of the
parents. Dan. not having the same hap
py faculty for beating women that the
husband possessed, found himself In q
slightly delicate predicament. Whilst en-
deaVoring to straighten out the unex-
pected snarl the prisoner suddenly slipped
through his fingers and developed a high
rate of speed In "sPrinting" which
breast of the astonished marshal Moth
ing daunted, however, he called Officer
Yarno to his assistance, and they started
idly vanishing prey. But before they
got far they were still further amazed
TO see ahead of them thick cloud OF
dust, from which was protruding a
horses head and tail. whilst quantities
of oats and flying sod We're being scat
tered in all directions. Evidently the
2 me vas up, and both officers stood and
lNughed at the ludicrous sight until they
cried. The wife tried to withdraw the
warrant. but Justice Lonergan declined
saying saying IN that If the man ". was guilty he
probably remain absent for some time e
come.
The Foresters picnic at CentervilIe or
St. Johns day drew good many friends
from White Bear, who returned vel
pleased with their days outing.
