Is Charged With Refusing to Follow
Dictation of the Socialist Party
Also With Introducing Graft Meas
ures.-Alderman DiscIaimed Any OBJ
legations to the Party.-Referendum
Must Be Taken.

Chicago, April 2S.-Introducing graft
measures for personal benefit.
Refusal to introduce Socialist party
legislation.
Accepting annual railroad passes
Introducing measure to permit AL
derfnen free street car transportation.
Repudiating Socialist party princi-
pies.
Upon these charges Alderman Will
liam Johnson of the Thirty-third ward,
the only socialist member Of t11ecoun-
Gil, was expelled by an almost unani-
nous vote from the Socialist political
organization at a meeting of the Gen.
trail County Committee yesterday after
noon at it's headquarters, 1S1 Wash
ington street.
Although these charges wereprefer-
red against Alderman Johnson some
time ago, no action was taken in the
matter until each accusation had been
thoroughly investigated separately.
The party leaders finally decided that
the evidence against their council rep
resentative was complete and over
whelming, and at the meeting yester-
day the charges and the evidence
against johnson were submitted TO the
members.
Explanations were demanded of Al
derman johnson, who was present, and
he denied that he owed anything to the
Socialistic party.
Il was elected by the people Of the
Thirty-third ward,'' declared Johnson,
'and i have no strings to me-"
When the question as to whether, he
should be expelled from the organiza-
tion was put to vote, t11irty-two Of
the thirty-eight. members o. thief GEN.

pulsion. II = 80 ss

Chicago, April 28.-Badges for "peacerS

Franklin union watchers around 4 the
printing plants of Chicago, were res;
commended yesterday by Chief Of fsPo-3
lice O'Neil. The suggestion was made
to representatives of the bookbinders'

unjustly arrested under Inspector Law.
ms blanket anti-picket order.
The day after this order was issued
by the inspector a half dozen book
binders were taken by: the Harrison
street police. They were warned that:
if they again were found in the neigh
borhood of the ''struck'' shops they
would be ned, and were discharged On
the following day two men of the union
Robert Johnson and John .DeKamp,
were arrested and were fined $40 each.
Declares, Watchers Are Harmless.
This police activity, which cleared
printing town. of the notorious Frank
lin union pickets for the first time in
six months, brought forth protest
from the binders. They alleged. that
their members had done no violence
and would not, under any circlr1-
stances, and declared the men arrested
had been taken in as harmless a. pur-
suit as eating lunch. They called on
the chief of police to press their case,
When they arrived at his office in. the

INDIGNANT
Ladies of TenStrike Much Wrought
up Over Charge of Voting
Regular Ticket.

The ladies of Tenstrike are
very much worked up over the
story ublished in the Pioneer
last evening to the effect that a
candidate claimed that some
twenty women in the village
voted the regular ticket. It is
said that an Indignation meeting
was held last evening and that it
was resolved to investigate the
source of the story. The story
as published originated in Ten
strike itself and was heard on
the streets as common talk by a
gentleman who is a stranger in
Beltrami county.
AS stated in yesterdays Pho
neer there is probably noground
whatever for the story beyond
the fact that Tenstrike cast such
phenominally large vote. The
male vote at Tenstrike this year
was 100 while two years ago it
was 81. Such a remarka BILE in
crease is bound to create all sorts
of rumors.

Valuable Hotel Property on
Beltrami Avenue Bought
by Original Owner.
CONSIDERATION WAS TWENTY
FIVF THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Deal Was Closed This Morning
and MIR. Markham Will Take
Charge Monday.

This morning the final details
were completed whereby the
Markham hotel was transferred
by F. ?. Hannifan to the Mark,
ham Hotel company. The con,
sideration was $4,000 and Hon.
j. M Markham, the new mana
ger, will take charge Monday
morning.
The hotel was bought by Mr..
Hannifan about a year ago and
since that time has been conduct
ed by him, but owing to i'll health
he will dispose of allhis interests
in Bemidji and remove to some
more congenial climate, where
the winters are not so long and
rigorous.
Mr.. Markham built the hote]
four years ago and conducted it
up to the time Mr.. Hannifan took
charge and is we'll known as a
successful hotel man. He spent
the winter in Florida on account
of his failing health and received
much benefit from the change oil
climate, and at the present time
thinks that he will be strong
enough to take up the active
management Of the hostelry.
Mr.. Hannifan has not as YET
decided where he will make his
future home, but lie states posi-
lively that he will not spend the
coming winter in Bemidii.

ANIMAL AN UNUSUALLY LARGE
ONE.
She Thought it Was a Fox
Until The Deed Was
Done.

Mrs. J. A. Bakken, of Winsor
postofice, in Polk county near
the Clearwater line is perhaps
the only woman in the state who
enjoys the distinction of having
alone and unaided killed mons
ter wolf, and the country folks
there considerably excited over
the experience which Mrs. Bak-
ken had and which resulted in
death of one of the biggest
wolves ever seen in the town
ship.
The Bakken farm is situated
upon the river and the first Mrs.
Bakken saw of the wolf was
when she saw chase which the
Bakken dogs we're making pre-
sumably for red fox.
The hounds chased the animal
down toward the river across the
farm and when Mrs. Bakken
went out armed with an old
axe to assist, the CANNES in max
ing short work of the hencoop
robber, she beheld monster
wolf at bay and making the fight
of his life for freedom from the
corner into which the dogs had
forced him.
Mrs. Bakken pluckily faced
the brute and with several we'll
directed blows of the axe ended
it's existence. Later on, how.
ever, she was overcome with
hysteria and friends and rela-
tives Of the family now wonder
how she managed to WELD the
axe so 'SuccaSSfulfV.
