Another Man Thought to Be
Insane Brought from
Blackduck.
is ATHLETIC. AND EXERCISES
ON HUMAN PUNCHING BAGS.
To Relieve the Monotony He
Occasionally Trys to Com
nit Suicide.

Thomas McLane, young man
225 years of age, thought to be in
sane, was brought down from
Blackduck and appeared in pro-
bate court this morning. He ap-
peared so rational that his exam
Iination was. postponed for three
days, to await developments.
Three or four other people from
Blackduck have been committed
to the asylum for the insanesfrom
BemidI within the last few
weeks, and that enterprising viii
Elage is getting the name of being
a crazy man S town.
The last lunatic brought to Be
midi from the little burg up the
line, was religiously insane. This
is not what troubles the new pa
tient. On the contrary, he ap-
pears to be disciple of his au
gust majesty, the devil, for he is
intent upon doing bodily harm to
every person he meets when he
is in one of his fits. At times,
like the present, he seems to have
full possession of his senses, and
/ is fairly decent. 1t is said that
! it took half the town to get him
in jail a short time ago. He has
a pair of hard fists and delights
in using them, but is averse to
practice on anything but hu-
man punching bag.
His worst offense was com
mitted last Saturday, when he
attempted to hang himself with
a pocket handkerchief, and when
detected in the act made up his
mind that the drowning route
was the next best way to reach
the farther shore. He leaped
into a large pool of mud and
water, butit was not deep enough
to answer his purpose, and with
! a deal of trouble he was extracted
from his mud bath. It was then
that the authorities decided to
bring him to Bemidji. He had
just been released from jail when
he made the attempt upon his
life. He might have accomplished
his purpose if the sheriff had not
followed him. He was connect
ing his neck with a beam under
a railroad bridge in a secluded
spot, by means of a large ban
danna handkerchief, when the
sheriff came to the rescue.

w. F. Streets Funeral Yesterday Was
Attended by Vast Throng
Of People.
Bio Crowd Packed the City Hall and
Overlooked Out Into the
Street.

W. #. Street was buried yes
terday. Interment was made IN
the local cemetery, relatives and
friends of the deceased believing
that he would prefer that his
final resting place should be near
the town where the scene ,,of his
greatest successes in life had
lain, and which owes it's growth
and present prosperity largely to
him.
The funeral was held from the
city hall at 4 O'Clock in the after
noon. Imposing ceremonies
marked the event, and a vast
throng Of people was in attend
ance to pay last respects 6, the
honored dead. They filled every
inch of standing room in the
spacious hall, which was appro-
priately draped for the occasion,
and overHowed into the street
below. Scores of people Of
prominence from out of town
were present. They came from
Cass Lake, Crookston, Fosston,
from all the nearby towns, IN
fact, and there were several from
the Twin Cities. Among the
prominent ones were Tams
Bixby, A. A. White and Miss
Callahan, secretary of the Be
midi Townsite & improvement
Co., and Al Kaiser.
Rev. Mcleod delivered the
sermon. He spoke in eloquent
terms of the sterling qualities of
the deceased Rev. Broomfield,
Father Murphy and Rev. Higgins
also gave short talks. The choir
consisted of Messrs. Joseph
Berry, Clarence Golden, Mrs.
Rev. Mcleod and Miss Halde=
man. Mrs. DR.. Foster acted as
pianist. At the close of the
services the cover Of the coffin
was raised and friends were
given an opportunity to take a
last look at the dead. Great
heaps of magnificent flowers
we're banked about the coffin. A
long line Of carriages, So in num-
Der, formed in a procession to
Greenwood cemetery, headed by
the Bemidji band, where inter-
ment was made.S
In the death of Mr.. Street Be
midi suffers an irreparable loss.
He was man of exceptionalabil-
ity and determination. Always
active in the upbuilding of Be-
midi, he has done more towards
making it the thriving city it now
is than any other one man. His
place can hardly be filled.
Mr.. Street was 81 years ofage.
He was a native Of Council Bluffs,
Ia, and graduate of the
Nebraska State university, grad
uating from that institution in
1872. He was a printer by trade
and after his graduation spent
several years in and about St.
Cloud. His first wife was Miss
Greeley Of Maine Prairie. She
bore him son and daughter,
both of whom are now living.
He married Miss Etha D. Bland
of Anoka June s, 1908.
Mr.. Street was admitted to the
practice of law at ST. Paul in
1879, and later opened an Office
at ST. Cloud. Successfully he
was practicing attorney of
Sauk Rapids and Royalton, also

Cass Lake Voice: VThe death
of Mr.. w. F. Street is not loss
to Bemidji alone. While intense
ly loyal to his own community,
he was of that broad minded dis
position that it was his pleasure
to assist in any project that
would help to develop any sec
ton of the northern part of the
state.
Mr.. Street was a writer of
more than ordinary intelligence.
His articles on national questions
always found space in the large
metropolitan newspapers. It
was through his energy and work
that Beltrami county was organ

village. During, the real estate
excitement in Superior in the
SOS he located in that city an a
was the editor and proprietor Of
the Inter Ocean and was for a
time collector of the port for the
treasury department..
It was mainly through his eff
forts that the legislature in 1897
passed the act organizing Bel
trami county, and he was named
the first county attorney by Gov.
sClough, a position which he held
until January |, last. He was
during that time the local repre-
sentative of the townsite com
pany in which corporation he
was also a stockholder and direct
or. He was the president of the
Street White Townsite Company,
which owned the sites of Bagley,
Shevlin, Tenstrike, Farris and
Little Fork.
Papers throughout the North
west have published accounts of
Mr.. Streets death, and have
paid glowing tributes to his
memory. Following are few ex-
tracts from them: o.
st. Paul Review: With the
deepest regret the Review learns
Of the untimely and fatal accident
to Editor Street of Bemidjl. He
was accidentally shot in the back
and mortally wounded by his
brother in-law, and died soon
after removal to the city. The
northern part of the state owes
more to his single effort than to

lied and Bemidji made the county
seat. As county attorney, he
fought a most brilliant battle
against the lumbermen who
were evading their taxes, and
won in the supreme court. To
him is largely due the credit that
Bemidji is today the prosperous
community it is.
All in Mr.. Streets life has not
been the brightest setting. But
with the wonderful energy pos
sessed by that mind that is now
forever stilled, he surmounted all
and rose to be one of
the chief factors for good in this
part of the state.

The Road Work.

After abandoning the quarry
originally opened ON the Pogue
farm, adjoining town. excavations
were made at another point on the
same property and a good bed of
rock uncovered, where it has final
ly been determined the stone for
the macadamized road will be taken
out, and the crusher is being set
up at the quarry.
The work OF grading on the
Rising Sun Pennington road will
begin to-day. it has been decided
to close to travel that section of the
road from the station to the corner
of the G. G. Hopkins farm, in
order that operations may be oar
ried on without interference from
passing teams. All travel over
the road to and from town, will of
necessity be forced to go by way
of Pleasant Meadow school, or
Stubbs' hill. The delay in the
work has been occasioped by the
failure Of the makers to ship the
steam roller at the time agreed
upon, but it is expected to arrive
this week.

DESTROYED By Fire.

Sparks from fire over which
apple butter was being boiled, set
fire to the dwelling of Michael
Kaufman, near Gap, Lancaster
county, at about noon on Friday
last, The house was totally de,
stroyed, most of the furniture being
saved. The loss is about 50, goo.
lightning struck the large
barn on the farm Of Benjamin
Drucker, near Georgetown, Lancas-
ter county, during the storm of
Sunday afternoon. The building
and contents, consisting of so tons
of hay, large quantity of straw,
the wheat crop and most of the
farm machinery were destroyed.
Fire on Friday morning last de-
stroyed the dwelling on the farm
of G. Bosley Lillig of Baltimore,
near Van Bibber, Hartford county,
and tenanted by George Crist. A
few of the household goods were
saved. The fire started on the
roof and was caused by a defective
fue. The loss was $4,000, partially
covered by insurance.
Three large outbuildings on the
farm of Joseph Couden, near Perry
vile, were destroyed by fire late
Friday evening, together with
nearly 1000 bushels Of wheat, so
tons of hay, 20 tons of straw and
farming implements. The sup
position is that the building was
set on fire by tramps. The loss
will aggregate fully $4,000, upon
which there is some insurance.
The village of Childs, along the
line of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road, two miles northwest of ElktoD,
was visited by destructive fire at
an early hour Thursday, Sept. "a.
Shortly after midnight Gallaher's
Hall, owned by J. Hayes Gallaher,
in which was located the postoffice,
headquarters of Childs Council,
No. SO, Jr. O. U. A. NJ, and the
Methodist Sunday school was dis
covered to be on fire, and the alarm
was given. The flames had gained
such a Roadway that the building
was soon in ashes. The residence
of Postmaster Dan'l. H. McCauley,
adjoining the hall and the resi-
denee of VIM. Glenn, freight agent
at Childs, together with nearly all
of their furniture, were also burned.
But for the assistance rendered
by the employees of Marley paper
mill, which shut down during the
progress of the flames, the whole
village would probably have been
destroyed, as it is without water
facilities, and reliance was placed
in the bucket brigade hastily
formed. The loss is estimated at
between Sc, 900 and $1,000.

Teddy"

The Lewes, Del, Pilot, being accused
of disrespect to President Roosevelt by
calling him Teddy" makes the follow
ing explanation for the use of the
appellation
'When President Roosevelt eats his
own words, tramples upon his own record,
and.adopts the!methods,he once condemn
ed, il his scheming for nomination by
the next National Republican Convention,
III reproving him it is natural to call him
The President But when he is simply
silly, as in the Sir Thomas Upton episode,
and the matter is not important enough
to be regarded as grave public question,
there is nothing inappropriate in laugh
ing at him as Teddy And then again,
the name Teddy is token of still linger-
ing affection. 1t was bestowed upon him,
not since nomination to the Presidency
has been his scheme by day and his
dream by night, but it was given him in
the old days, when he was the incarna-
ton of all that was pure, of all that was
honest in public life; when he struck out
like man for what was right and decent
and clean; when he withstood the blan-
ishments of politicians and the lure of
office, and when he stood shoulder to
shoulder with those who fight for right
eousness. 1t was then that the name was
given him. Alack and alas that little
more than the name should be left But
we who once loved him cling to the name
with sort of fond hope that even now
there may be something remaining of the
old Teddy
