Planned An ElOpemeilt.

There we're several things
planned for Halloween which
didn t come off and among other
things was an elopement, or at
least The parents Of the young
woman in the case allege that it
was planned. Anyhow the police
kept the supposed clippers under
surveillance until a late hour and
were somewhat surprised when
the young lady returned to her
home with another man than the
one with whom she was sup
posed to be intriguing. The
parents of the young lady were
also abroad and their discom-
future was perhaps the greatest
of all.

Says Husband is a Thief.

Mrs. Georgianna Potter, OF
Nymore, made complaint to the
chief Of police this morning that
her husband, we'll known char
acter, had threatened her life and
tells an interesting story which
develops the brand of domestic
felicity which prevails at the Pot
ter home is not all that it should
be. Mrs. Potter accuses her
husband of being a thief and says
that there are a mum Der of stolen
articles at her home. Potter was
elected justice of the peace at
Nymore but did not qualify and
Mrs. Potter says the night he
was elected he went down town
to celebrate the event with two
suits of stolen underclothes on
his back. Al e this and much
more she told the chief of police
at the county attorneys office.
Mrs. Potter has several times
been in police court and neither
of the couple bear the best Of
regulations. No proceedings
have yet been instituted.

Football Game.

There was much local interest
in the football game last Satur-
day. There we're crowds about
the bulletin boards at the news
paper Offices during ali of the
afternoon. Minnesota was the
favorite and when the news of
Minnesota's magnificent touch
down in the last few minutes
play, after it looked as though
the game was lost, there was no
end of enthusiasm. The special
service arranged for by the Pho
neer was much appreciated.

Passed Off Quietly.

Halloween passed very quiet
". The police force was doubled
to keep the small boy within
bounds, but the boys were for
the most part combining their eff
forts to innocent amusement.
Signs we're removed, gates car
ried away, wagons and buggies
drawn abous and the usual
pranks played until late hour.
There were no untoward occur
rences, however, and for a Hal
lowe'en night in Bemidji it was
decidedly quiet.

INDIANS UGLY
Troops Will Probably be Called
to the Leech Lake Reser-
vatiOn.

Authority has been granted by
the. war department to Major
George L. Scott, Tenth Cavalry,
acting Indian agent at the Leech
Lake reservation, to call on the
commander of the department of
Dakota for troops in case an out
break should occur among the
Chippewas on the reservation.
Indian Agent Scott has informed
the war department. that the
ChippeWas. are in u Ugly ssl mood.
over the Morris bill and that
troops may be needed.
1t is reported that the Indians
have been dancingat Bear Island,
the home of the Pillager tribe Of
blanket Indians, and that they
are much worked up over the
provisions of the Morris bill,
which together with personal
grievances against the force en-
ployed in the Office has raised
their resentment to threatening
proportions.
At Cass Lake the report is cur
rent that the ChippeWas on the
Leech Lake reservation are in a
nasty mood.
The Bear Island Indians. are
said to be dancing, which is in
itself a dangerous sign. Flat
mouth, the chief, is for peace,
but the young bucks are dissatis-
fed with him and a movement is
on foot among them to elect a
new chief.
There is also a rumor that a
plan had been discussed among
some of the Indians to assassin
ate William Bongs, who is a friend
of falmouth, and who is thought
by the Indians to be too much
influenced by the Office forces.

Mndt happened 10 Jones.
The case Of Thos. johnson VS..
w. g. Jones, comes up for trial
in justice court this afternoon.
It is an action for assault and is
the outcome of a Halloween
episode. Small boys had been
causing Mr.. Jones considerable
annoyance throughout the even
ing and about one O'Clock he got
out of bed when they seemed to
be more gay than usual in the
hope that he might be enabled to
give one of them an object les
son. Johnson was passing the
place at the time and Mr.. Jones
supposed he was one Of the Of
tenders and took him on. There
was a fight and Mrs. Jones
aroused by the melee came on
the scene with a board which
was later broken on Mr. John
sons head. The police arrived
and stopped the trouble. john
son sustained a bad cut on the
head and his condition this morn
ing was SO serious as to give

Search for Bodies of Gregory
and Adams Still Con.
tinues.
HAT OF GREGORY WAS DISCOV.
Erred YESTERDAY.
The Moose and Several Row
Boats Conducting the
Search Today.

The search for the bodies Of
Glen Adams and Charles Greg
DRY who were believed to have
been drowned while crossing
Lake Bemidji with a boat load of
stolen merchandise last Wednes-
day night, is still being prose
cuted and has been conducted
ever since Thursday.
There are no new develop
ments, with the exception Of the
fact that the hat Of Gregory vas
taken out of the water yesterday
afternoon. A brother of Adams
was in the city yesterday and
this morning the Moose and three
small rowboats were put in com
mission in carrying out thes search
for the bodies. The upper end Of
the lake is being dragged with
chains and grab hooks in the
hope of bringing the bodies to
the surface.
There is now believed TO be alb
solutely no question as to the I'M
fortunate men having met death
by drowning. The search will
be. continued for several days,
but the hope of recovering the
bodies is slight. They will not
rise to the surface until they are
in an advanced stage of decom-
position and as the water is cold
at present they will remain in a
state of preservation much long
er than ordinarily.
Late this morning another bar
rel Of mincemeat, which was
part of the cargo OF the boat
which the mer were taking
across the lake, was discovered.

AgedFatherof Judge pooner
Passes Away at 4:30
This Morning.
WAS LONG PROMINENT IN
1, PUBLIC LIFE.
Death Not Unexpected and Occurs
at Advanced Age of Eighty
Nine Years.

This morning at 4:30, at the
home Of his son, Judge Spooner,
in this city, occurred the death
of Samuel H. Spooner, at the ad-
vanced age Of 80 years. Death
was the result Of exposure, which
Mr.. Spooner suffered some time
ago, and has been expected for
several days.
Mr.. Spooner's death closes a
long, useful and we'll spent life.
He was born at New Bedford,
Mass, May 4, 1915, and was the
son of Charles and Mary Ham
mond Spooner. His eldest brother
was Philip =. Spooner, the father
of Senator Spooner of Wisconsin,
Philip Z. Spooner, Roger G.
Spooner and Mary Vance. His
younger brother was Gen. Ben
jamin @. Spooner, of Indiana.
Mr.. Spooner came of the sturdi-
est New England stock and when
only three years old the family
emigrated to Mansfield, Ohio, in
1919, long before the day Of rail
roads. The trip across the coun
try was made by team, and Mr..
Spooner's father was one of the
pioneers of that section. Later
he removed to Lawrenceburg,
Ind, where the family grew up,
where Mr.. Spooner was admit
ted to the bar and where he was
long prominent in public life.
Mr.. Spooner was appointed
United States marshal by Presi-
dent Grant and held the office
for fourteen years. In 1850 Mr..
Spooner married Miss Eliza Cal
lahan, who died at the age Of 76,
in 1898. Since the death of his
wife, Mr.. Spooner has made his
home in Bemidji, with Judge
Spooner, his only child.
Mr.. Spooner always enjoyed
the most vigorous health, even in
his declining years, and during
the last hours of his life his re-
markable vitality strongly as
serted itself.
