LAST OF
CUSTER'S
Sole Survivors Of Clusters
Command Charged With
Homicide.

New York, Dec. 12.-William Nc
Gee, who claims to be the sole survivor
of Clusters command in the famous
battle of the Little Big Horn, is under
arrest here charged with homicide.
Late Thursday night he got into an
argument with Frank Mitchell, sales
man, over the proper method for cook
ing a kidney stew. A quarrel fol
lowed and the men attacked each
other with kitchen knives, the fracas
having occurred in Mitchell's fiat.
MCGEE, who lived on the Western
frontier forty years, declares Mitchell
attacked him first and, by practicing
an old trick, he felled his opponent
not, however, until he had received q
severe scalp wound.
Mitchell did not appear badly off at
the time, but he died twenty-four hours
later. MCGEE was arrested.
In telling of his service in the army
MCGEE declared he was detached by
Custer just before the massacre tc
carry a message to Major Reno, who
was to have made a joint attack with
Clusters troops on the Indians.
MCGEE bears the scars of many
wounds, which he claims to have re
ceived before he reached Reno's
forces. Recently he came here from
Texas and has been canvassing for a

Revival Services Closed.

The special services at the
Baptist church were brought to
a close last night, when Rev. A..
E. Peterson of Crookston
preached to a large and apprecia-
tive audience. Several professed
conversion, and although the
special effort has stopped, we
hope the good work will go on.
Mr.. Peterson is very much
pleased with the improvement in
the Baptist church. Also with
the location and prospect of Be-
midi, and says he would like
very much to spend a few weeks
here in the summer time. In be-
half of the church, the pastor
takes this opportunity to thank
the Bemidji Pioneer and all the
kind friends, who cheerfully con
tributed toward the work of i'm
proving the building. Also to all
who donated work and furnish
ings. He desires to express per-
sonally also, his gratitude to all
who evinced such hearty sym
pathy and good will toward us as
a church, and wishes to say that
many contributed more largely
than he expected. There are lots
of kind hearted people not con-
nected with the churches, in Be
midi. When all the subscrip-
tons are paid we will be entirely
free Of debt. The pastor also de-
sires to thank the members who
SO heartily co.operated with him
in the good work. Wishing all a
bright and happy Christmas, and
a prosperous New Year.
THOS. BROOMFIELD,
Pastor.

Hammer Flew In.

Chas. Warfeld this morning
sustained a painful although not
serious injury while doing a few
stunts in blacksmithing at the
Pingle shop on America avenue.
Mr.. Warfeld went to the estab.
lishment with a piece of iron
which he wished to have shaped
into a brace for use at the cleo
trio light plant. Finding Mr..
Pingle gone, Charles, who con,
sidered himself quite handy with
tools, proceeded to do the job
himself. He started a fire in the
forge, heated the iron, put it on
the anvil, struck just one blow,
and missed his mark, the ham
mer flying back and striking him
in the forehead inficting a deep
cut.

ROAD BUILDING
in PROGRESS
New County Road Between
Kelliher and Beaudette
Nearing Completion.

j. j. Jinkinson arrived yester-
day from his ranch at Rapid
River, where he is superintend-
ing the building of the new
county road being pushed from
Kelliher northwest to Beaudette.
Mr.. Jinkinson says that very sat
isfactory progress is being made
and that at the present rate the
road will be completed by Jan. l..
At present the eight men who
compose the crew are camped on
the north shore of the northern
part of Red Lake, but it will soon
be necessary to remove farther
northward, as the progress be-
ing made necessitates the chang
ing of the camp location quite
often. The entire length of the
road when completed will be 65
miles and will be of i'm
mense benefit to settlers in the
northern part of the county.

GAS BUSHES OUT BURNING HIS
FACE AND EYES.
Injured Man Brought to st. An.
thongs Hospital in Bemidii
For Treatment.

w. B. Lane, a cook employed
at the camp of Irwin & O'Brien
near Blackjack, was brought to
St. Anthony's hospital in this
city this morning suffering with
severe burns about the head and
eyes caused yesterday afternoon
by the rush of gas from a sheet
iron key of vinegar.
Lane was preparing the even
ing meal yesterday and went to
the vinegar key, which is al
ways kept inside the cook shanty
to secure a supply for supper.
He unscrewed the top and i'm
mediately a miniature explosion
occurred, and hot gas rushed
from the apperture,- severely
burning him about the head and
eyes. almost binding him. He
was rendered almost uncon.
scious by the surprise and pain
caused by the explosion, and it
was necessary to call assistance
before he could reach his bed
which is situated in the rear OF
the cook shanty.
He was taken to Blackduck at
once, where medical aid was
called upon, and arrived in Be
midi this morning and was con
fined in St. Anthony's hospital
where he is receiving treatment
from DR.. Ward.
The accident is one of the most
peculiar on record, as an explo
sion of vinegar has not been
heard of before. The only explain
alton of the accident is that the
vinegar has not entirely fer
mented and when air was admit
ted to the key the gas which had
accumulated in the process Of
fermentation escaped, causing
the explosion.

To see large bull moose on a
rampage was the experience of
John McKusick, a farmer who
lives seven miles west of the city
on the Mississippi river, yester
day afternoon. when the huge
beast entered his yard, tore down
the fence, broke the clothes line,
and created havoc generally, leav-
ing just in time to escape the
bullet of a rifle which the home
steader had borrowed from a
neighbor.
Mr.. McKusick was sitting in
his house when the moose en-
tered his yard. Upon gaining
entrance by breaking down the
fence which surrounded the
house, the animal made a preli-
minary examination of the prem

patch of rutabagas which had not
been harvested. He Immediately
started to devour them and in a
short time the field had fallen a
victim to his appetite. He again
took a tour around the yard, and,
finding nothing more to eat.

warned all to keep a safe distance.

made his escape from the house

short the depredations of the
large animal. He returned just
in time to see the beast vanishing
in the woods back of his cabin,
leaving desolation in his wake.
The moose did not seem in the
least timid, but acted as if he
was monarch of all he surveyed,
and in fact the result of his visit
was proof of this, as after his de-
parture Mr.. McKusick made an
inventory of what had escaped
the anger of the beast and found
that he was shy just so bushels
