and Come to Grief.

Woman ReSentS SIurS of Her
NeighbOr and Trouble on
Both Sides is Result.

AS result of the latest SEN
sation sprung in the new village
of Nymore, two women are at
outs, one, of whom appeared in
police court this afternoon and
paid a fine of five dollars and
costs upon pleading guilty to
the charge Of assault preferred
by her antagonist.
1t seems that there has been
trouble brewing between the
two women for some time, but
the climax was not reached until
Sunday night, when one Of them
accused the other of some
variation from the straight and
narrow path. and upon her de
NAL of the charge they engaged
in rather heated conversation
which as it progressed grew
more and more like sulphur and
at last, ended with blows. The
fight, however, somewhat re-
sembled the Jeffries Monroe con.
test: and one of the contestants
was speedily put out Of bust
ness.
She appealed to the Bemidji
authorities yesterday forenoon
and SWOre out a warrant for her
conqueror, who appeared in pc.
lice court yesterday afternoon.
The trial was postponed unit.
this afternoon, when the victor
came up before Judge Pender-
CAST and with a voice husky with
emotion she plead guilty to the
charge and the judge, consider
ing thateit was her first otfense,
made the fine five dollars anC

Wah-na-me a-goh, said to be
one Of the Oldest Indians alive,
arrived in the city yesterday
from Red Lake, having come all
the way on foot, and when he
came into store in the business
district of the city and sat down
by the fire to warm himself, he
shivered with cold and seemed to
be played out with his long walk.
A friendly clerk went to the old
brave and among other q uestions
asked him where he was going.
The chief replied that he had
travelled on foot from Red Lake
and was bound for Cass Lake,
where his sons and daughters
lived, and expected to remain
with them during the balance of
his natural lifetime.
His hair was gray and the deep
burrows on his kindly face betok-

be said Of John Morton, who was
Lord Chancellor of England in 1920.
John Morton, Archbishop of Canter-

times, less classic literature has come
from the pens of Mortons. That
