court Matters.

There were no jury cases ready for
trial yesterday in county court, although
it was only the second day of the term,
and an adjournment was taken when the
afternoon was about half over 1t was
expected that the case of Charles w.
Howe VS.. Horace Brown would be ready
for trial in the afternoon but IL was an
nounced that the matter would probably
be settled out of court SO no hearing was
had. 1t is not known whether any case
will be ready for trial this morning when
court convenes at nine o'clock but it is
hoped that some of the actions will be
prepared by that time.
The time yesterday was occupied en-
tirely with court matters. In the MORN
ing there was a hearing on the question
of temporary alimony in the case Of
Nellie Walker vs.. Wallace K. Walker, n

|termaster T.. II. Lamoreux and has been
| in Burlington about two years. His wife
was formerly Nellie Gordon and a. year
| ago she secured divorce from her first
| husband marrying Walker shortly after.
| At the hearing yesterday Mr. Walker
testified that when he married Mrs. Cor
don she gave HIM $3.50 with which he paid
| bills and in return for which ne gave her
| his note for the amount. He said he had
a ,ted house on his hands that was usc-
les TO him since his wife left him and
| that he also owed numerous bills about
town.
Mrs. Walker testified that she had n
considerable sum of money when she
married Walker but that she had spent
| 1t all. largely upon household supplies
| and necessities. She admitted receiving
ialmony amounting to SIG per month from
her first husband and said that she also
received 81 per week from Mr. Walker
upon an order made by Judge Hasclton.
| Capt. Jamoroux was called by Mr..
Walker hut his testimony was of minor
| e onscuucnce. At the close of the hearing
Attorney r. ". Taft asked that Mrs
| Walker be allowed SIS per month
aimony and 80 suit money. After a brief
recess the court awarded her the s25 per
month and tho 80 suit money. ST. OF the
latter to he paid within Il week and the
remaining 81 before August /. Tho ,i-
vorcc petition will probably be heard at
the September term of court as Mrs
| Walker says 81" is ut present mentally
unfit TO take the witness stand for such
Il long examination as will he necessary

Warrant Is Out for Arrest Of
Former Member Of Funk
ley Council.
ACCUSED OF IMPROPER RELA-
TIONS WITH GIRL OF Is.
Left Funkley Last Fall and Went
to Michigan-Sheriff Bailey
on Trail.

Alexander Taylor, a former
member of the village council of
Funkley, is accused in a warran t
issued by Judge Pendergast of
improper relations with Bessie
Conat, aged ID, who resided with
her parents at Funkley.
1t is claimed that Taylor eloped
with the girl last fall, but up to a
short time ago no clue as to his
whereabouts were obtainable.
Information of a reliable nature
developed that Taylor had fled to
Michigan, and upon receiving
this information the father of
the girl Immediately swore out a
warrant for his arrest before
Judge Pendergast of this city.
The warrant has been placed
in the hands of Sheriff Bailey,
who left Wednesday for Mich
gan, where he expects to occom,

Home Of William Hartley
Southwest of Bemldji De-
stroyed by Fire.
FLAMES CONSUME BUILDINGS
In FARMERS ABSENCE.
House, Barn and Haystack
Burned - NeighbOrs Save
Horses and Cattle.

The house, barn and hay Of
William Hartley, farmer living
six miles southwest of Bemldii
on the Mississippi river, was last
night destroyed by fire.
The fire occurred during the
absence from home of the owner
ofsthe property, who came to Be-
midi yesterday at noon and re-
NAMED here until after supper
time Upon returning home he
found all his buildings in ashes
together with large amount of
hay which had been stacked near
the barn. s.-....
The origin of the fire is a
mystery. It is claimed, however,
that a fire was left in the stove
of the house and the supposition
is that the flames originated
from the stove. Neighbors living
near to Hartley's home dis
covered the fire and after des-
perate efforts succee ded in re
moving several head of horses
and cattle from the stable before
it was consumed. ~.

Why. Everybody knows that
they are being kept here for the
sole purpose Of defeating the
will OF the people of -Bemidji in
the election next Tuesday.
Bemidji appears to have
reached the point where it must
decide whether the people of Be
midi shall elect it's public officers
or whether outsiders shall say
how we are to be governed.

Bailey Nc Donald daily political
s'dodger" appeared statement
signed by the judges of the
fourth ward which appeared to
reflect seriously upon the Pho
neer's accountof the proceedings
OF registration day. The true
facts about this statement, show
that the Bailey Mcdonald ring
intend to stop at no deception in
this campaign to- be! successful.
The letter deals with a. list Of
eight names submitted to the
registration board by O. E.
Bailey and with the matter Of
turning away of some IS other
