A Narrow Escape

Last Friday morning rs Linn Cnrdy

driving into town in buggy, they met
the express motor ear OF the electric
railway oppo tc the residence Of MIR

the air escaping from the brakes fright
ened the horse, causing it to shy aud
throw the buggy in front of the ear,
which struck the buggy, oycrturung

the horse started to run. Linn, hold
ing on to the rcins, was dragged about
one hundred yards, when he succeeded
in stopping the animal He was con-
sidcrably bruised up, but was able to
be out in few days Miss Pearl was
not much hurt but suffered quite u

that it was no worse. They returned

friends for to me there could not be a
more fascinating personality. She was
not beautiful, she was not even pretty,
but she was one of those mercurial be-
fngs whose very changefulness is more
attractive than mere perfection of fea-
ture. She had way of relating the
most trivial incident that compelled at
tention, her manner of relating anec-
dotes was inimitable and about her
there was ever a quality of efferves-
cence and sparkle rarely found even
in the women of the Latin race. She
had been a widow for half q dozen
years, she told me, and although rich
in the worlds goods she cared nothing
for society and never had belonged
to woman's club. Most of us have
a favorite pastime, however, and Mrs.
Herbert's ruling passion was the thea
ter. She saw every reasonably good
troupe that came to Chicago, attend
ing the play about four evenings a
week, upon which occasions she usual
ly was attended by her brother, a
quiet, pale young man with a wooden
expression. She had told me but little
of her past and 1 decided in my own
mind that she had been brought up in
a quiet country town where the de-
lights of the theater were unknown,
and that she was now bent upon graft

drama.

evening just as l had finished writing

Two Popular Bemidji Business
Men Celebrate Partnership
Anniversary Today.

ser, two Of Bemidii's best and
most progressive business men
today celebrate the thisteenth an
niyersary-o their partnership.
Thirteen years ago today Mr..
OIeary and Mr.. Bowser formed
a partnership at West Duluth
which has never broken up to
the present time and bids fair to
exist for many years to some.
The firm started in small way
at New Duluth and six years ago
moved to Bemidji, where it's bus
mess has grown until it's store is
generally recognized as one of
the tinestin Northern Minnesota.
Both Mr.. O'Leary and Mr., Bow
ser are popular with many Be
midi friends and all will unite
with the Pioneer in extending
congratulations. Thirteen is
generally considered an unlucky
number but to the Pioneer this
afternoon Mr.. BoWser stated
that the thirteenth year Of the
firm S business career has been
one Of its most prosperous. In
fact he has always noticed that
the day has been lucky one
with the firm and he does not
share the popular belief that it is
unlucky. The Pioneer regrets
that time and space this after
noon will not permit a ator.y that
would completely cover the
firms business career. Bust.
ness men of the capacity Of the
Messrs. O'Leary & Bowser are a
credit to the city and the paper
bespeaks for the firm in the fu-
ture the increased success that
has so for characterized its bust
ness career.
