Six Hundred Visiting utahans Enjoy
the Trip to Catalina Island,
but Welcome Terra

Early yesterday a party of the
antlered visitors left the wharf at San
Pedro singing songs of life upon the
deep blue sea. There was an over
abundance of enthusiasm prevalent.
Wagers that the inviting billowy waves
would have no other effect upon them
than that of good "bracer" were
recklessly made. In this mental con-
dition the six hundred or more Utahans
embarked for the fair isle of the sea"
Catalina.
Among the merry voiced. hale and
hearty Elks were a few who brought
miniature medical cabinets with them.
The contents were anything from COM
mon salts to French brandy that one
might choose to name. But the unso-
rhisticated knew naught of the awful
power of the sea upon the gastronom-
ical organisms and freely and frankly
announced that they alone had the
only preventative for seasickness.
The ship sounded the signal for all
aboard and the rest ashore. A mighty
cheer arose from the passengers on
the Cabrillo, but, as the screw made
a couple of turns, there was a per-
ceptible diminuendo to the chorus.
Slow Music
A few more turns and the happy
songs and cheers of departure changed
from a gay allegro to a slow funeral
dirge Still a few more turns of the
screw and muffled mournful wailings
for the receding shore were borne to

Details Of Death.

Rob Crookshanks of this city has
written relatives that he was working
on the same tree with Fred Ruther-
ford when the accident occurred
which deprived Mr. Rutherford of his
life. They had been working on one
tree which when it fell lodged in the
branches OF another. A third tree was
felled to dislodge it and in some way
the first tree glazed off of it's support
in such a way as to give MIR. Ruther-
ford no time to dodge AS he fell MIR.
CIookshank caught him in his arms
and eased him to the ground. but be-
fore he could call for the other men
who were working short distance
away the boy was dead. He was never
conscious after the blow. The two
boys had grown up together from
childhood and had ben the best of
friends always. The shock has made
Mr.. Crookshanks nearly crazed with
grief.-Crookston Times.

IS BRUTALITY
ASSAULTED
An Aged Farmer Living Near Fisher
Receives Rough Handl:ng-PeopIe
Are Very. Indignant Over the Out.
come Of a Dispute Over Bill.

Crookston Journal: John Cameron,
promenent farmer living near the town
Of Fisher, was brutally assaulted at
that place yesterday during dispute
over bill. The. affair seemed to he
entirely uncailed for and will not de-
tract any from the unsavory reputa-
ton which Fisher is gaining as hav-
ing some very quarrelsome people,
Mr.. Cameron was settling bill with
Ole Grove, the village butcher, and
during the settlement dispute arose
over the bill. Grove is young and
powerful man and Mr.. Cameron is
about sixty-five years and the outcome
of the dispute was that Grove knock
ed him down and pounded him in a
brutal manner. Cameron was cut
about the face and was SO badly in
jured as to require the attendance of
physician. Grove was; at once arrested
by the village marshal and was fined
SIS and costs, which, he paid. Citizens
of the village are very indignant over
the affair and some of the friends Of
Mr.. Cameron called. at the shopsto, en-
ter Al vigorous protest. Mr.. Grove was
very conveniently absent at that time,
however. Citizens of Fisher say that
Mr.. Cameron has always been very
quiet, unassuming gentleman. He has
been a resident of this vicinity for the
past q years and has always got along
well with his ne'ohhors.

QuIGEEY MAKEs A STATEMENT.
Declares That He Did Not Work for
Interests Of N. W. Tel. Co.

In the edition of the Valley View
Of yesterday, was charged with
working for the N. W. Tel. Co." That
charge is absolutely false. At the re-
quest of two prominent business men
of East Grand Forks, / circulated
petition to the council among the bust
ness men of that city, opposing the
granting of franchise to the Tri-
State Telephone company. 1 had no
difficulty in getting signatures to this
letftton. It was signed almost unani-
mously by the business men of East
Grand Forks who are interested in
telephone service. In FACT II WAS
signed by every business nan, except
those who are directly interested in
the Tri-State and those who are de-
pendent in their business upon the
support Of the Tri-State people. The.
Northwestern Telephone company had
nothing whatever to do with the cir.
culating of this petition. 1t was cir
cufated at the instance of the business
men Of East Grand Forks and for their
sole benefit. The charge made in the
Valley View is, apparently. an attempt
to get me to disclose the contents Of
this petition and the signatures OF the
business men to 1t. This petition will
be disclosed when the proper time
comes and II any disclosures are
wanted as to the dealings Of the Tri-5
State in the last city election and,
ether matters. ! am In position to
do that also. ..5
