DEAD MAN AN ACGUSER.
"Tell Rev. Knute Nelson He
Wrote, THAT He Is My
Murderer.

Something Of a sensation has
developed in the Johnson suicide
case, reported near Fosston. At
the coroner's inquest note was
found on the body of the dead
man which said, "Tell Rev. Knute
Nelson that be is my murderer.
The man referred to was at one
time Baptist preacher at Fer
gus Falls. He visited Mexico, and
on his return revealed to john
son, tits alleged, a scheme where
by both could become immensely
wealthy in very quick order.
The story is told that johnson
took hold of the proposition, and
on the start put up $500 and later
$500. It seems that Johnson has
not had returns from the invest
ment. He brooded over the mat
ter and Sunday last ended his;
troubles by committing suicide.

"It's a dinner with nothing to eat," "
was the reply. What you lack in

mine gave it at his home last night.
First course, oyster shells and cock
tails. Second course, hot water in
bouillon cups, with sherry on the side.
Third course, papier mache fish, moth

with the meat scraped off and claret.
Then the skeleton of turkey and gobs
of champagne BY that time the thing
seemed so funny we didn't care wheth-
er we got anything to eat or not. So
we drank champagne till the cows

TWO-STORY BRICK
Building to be Erected By O'Kel

Company.

Plans are now being figured on,
if not accepted by the O'Kelliher
Mercantile and Townsite COM
pany for the erection of a two
story brick building 75x1O0, on
the corner of Summit avenue, and
Main street.
The building will be modern in
every respect. There will be a
basement, steam heat, etc. On
the corner on the first floor will
be a bank 25x50. The other store
rooms will be devoted to mercan-
tile purposes. The second floor
will be fitted up for Office rooms.
The building will be an import
ant addition to the town, and will
settle the matter as to the SUI
premacy of Blackduck as a bust
ness centre for northern Bel

years to come, and also evinces

Official County and City Paper.

We hope that every citizen will
now begin to think of the matter
of the improvement of the roads
that lead out from Bemidji. 1t
is a deplorable fact that they are
miserableand every citizenshould
do all that he can to help create
an interest in this important mat
ter and in some way Waken those
who have the matter in charge so
something will be done this year.
Good roads will bring business
to the merchants and to the city.
Scores of those living to the
north and northwest are going
to SallSce because the roads are
better than they are to Bemidjl.
Some little time ago the writer
came from the north, through
Solway and was surprised toind
about twelve miles of finely turn
piked road that would be a credit
to any country, while the town
ship of Bemidji has not foot Of
road upon which this class Of
work has been done. Such a
condition give visiting farmers a,
very bad impression of the city
as we'll as the enterprise or rath-
er the lack Of enterprise of the
people. Let US wake up on this
subject and have a few good main
lines Of road built from the city
out to the country.

COUNTING THE DAMAGE.

Trouble in the Black Hills.

rOuDIe IN the BLACK THIS.
Lead, S. D., April 24.--Considerable
damage has been done in various
parts Of the Northern Black Hills by
the recent heavy rain and snowstorm.
The region has seldom if ever ex-
perienced a heavier downpour, and
the fact that snow fell instead of rain
in the higher portions of the Black
Hills range was all that saved the re-
gion a disastrous food. There have
been number Of landslides, resulting
in the loss of some property, but no
loss of life The Burlington train on
the Spearfsh branch was struck by g.
landslide, and one of the coaches was
knocked crosswise Of the track and
partly buried beneath the sliding
earth and rock. The train had to be
abandoned for the day. The snow fell
to the depth of from foot to two and
half feet at Terry, Portland and
Crown Hill stations, around bald noun

east side of Duchess county, New York,
soon after the date of the charter, finding
themselves accidentally within the limits
of Manchester were so far pleased with
the appearance of the county as to under
take its purchase. BE that as it may,
previous to Dec. II, 1904, the original
grantees had transferred a large interest
in the township to sundry individuals at
Albany, N. Y. At meeting of the pro-
prietors of the town of Manchester, held
in Amoena, Dec. II, I764, we find only II
of the shares not represented.
There is but little doubt that the first
permanent settlement was made in the
summer of I764, and in the southwest
part of the town on lands then owned by
the Purdys and Pettibones. 1t is said
that Samuel Rose built the first house on
the farm owned by Hon. J. 5, Pettbone,
doubtless in 1904 or I76S.
The first framed house was also built
by Samuel Rose in 100, not far from the
point at the foot OF the hill where the
highway to Bennington approaches the
Skinner Hollow brook. In 1903 the in
habitants were almost entirely from
Duchess county, a few, however, came
from Berkshire county.
The southwest and northwest sections
of the town were at first most numcrously
occupied. At an early period there was
a small village on the main road a mile
south of the court house near the resi-
drnce of Hon NJ Hawley.
The township of Manchester is situated
in a pleasant valley, strongly enyironed
by the Green mountains on the east,
Equinox on the west and Dorset noun
tains on the north.
Mount Equinox is one of the grandest
and most beautiful of the New England
mountains. Its summit, which lies with
in the town, is 37o6 feet above tide water
and 2oI5 feet above the village atits base.
From its lofty height as wellas from Dor
set mountain, the prospect is magnificent.
The Baptist society church was
formed here in 1881, Rev Joseph Cornall
the first pastor, and the first settled minis.
ter in town. Services were held at first
in the upper building near the marble
mill on Glebe brook and was occupied un'

Mass. 1t seems that many early set
tiers Of the town come from a Baptist
colony in Berkshire that had come up
a few years before from Rhode Island
and southeastern Massachusetts. At
the same time Elder Joseph Cornell
was elected pastor, and Benjamin
Vaughn chosen clerk, holding that
Office for a period Of ten years.
A house OF worship was built about
l79O--93, for a number of years the
growth OF the church was far from
rapid, but from date of organization
until the present time the church has
occupied its important field with more
or less vigor, and has been a power
for good in the community at state.
A succession of earnest and faithful
men have occupied its pulpit, and
been found among its office bearers.
Among its pastors have been Rev. G.
b. Hubert d. d. now Dean OF the
Divinity School of the University of
Chicago; Rev ID, f. Estes ID. D., of
the faculty of Colgate Theological
Seminary, Hamilton, N. Y; and the

ionally Mass was celebrated in Manchcs-

by Father Dryer on his arrival here in
May, 1896. On this date, (May al 90,
Father Dryer succeeded Rev f. II. Pa
quet as pastor of Arlington and Manches-
ter. In the same year, July 4th, ground
was broken for the erection of much
needed church edifice.
The cornerstone of "St Pauls" was laid
by the Rev Father Lynch, V. g., of Fair
haven, having been delegated by the Bish-
op of the Diocese on September :, 1896,
and the first Mass was celebrated at mid
night Christmas day of the same year by
the pastor, Rev John w. Dryer,
In August, 1897, Father Dryer took up
his residence in Manchester and in 1899
erected a parish house in Franklin avenue
on the property adjoining that of the
church on the north. August 10, 1000
was an eventful day for the Catholics of
Manchester, for on that day the new
church was dedicated under the title of
"The Conversion of st Paul" Present on
this occasion were the Rt. Rev John l..
