RUNAWAY WIFE

ciliation Follows.

A domestic drama in which the
principal actors were a runaway

day. The woman was deter

Falls.
The woman. who styled her
self Mrs. Walker, arrived in the
city several days ago and to hide
herself from the world, took up
her abode in a house on the out
skirts of town.
x The husband, who gave the
name of Sutherland, reached Be.
midi Saturday and traced his
wife to her stopping place. But
then the mans real trouble be-

and it was only after Chief of
Police Bailey went out armed
with the laws authority that she
would come into town.
Judge Pendergast was called

and contributed a fund of good
advice. The hus band paid the
money and led his spouse away

Dynamite on Great Northern
Tracks Causes Accident
This Morning.
HAROLD SWANSON SUSTAINS
SCALP WOUND.
Thrown Violently Against Rail
Other Men Escape
(. Injuries.

A handcar operated by a crew
of four men was blown from the
track by a stick of dynamite this
morning on the Great Northern,
four miles east of Bemidji.
+ One man, Harold Swanson,
brother to Oscar Swanson the
section boss, was thrown head
first against a rail with great
violence and an ugly wound was
opened in his scalp. The others
were not injured.
The car was being propelled at
a fair rate of speed when sud.
denly it struck a stick of the
explosive which was lying on the
rail, and the dynamite let 60
with it's usual violence.
The car was lifted in the air
and dropped in the ditch, and all
the men were thrown to the
ground. The car was injured
little, however, and the men
lifted it back onto the rails and
picking up Swanson, brought
him back to town with as much
speed as possible.
He was taken to a physician
Office and the cut in his Scalp
sewed up.
The presence of the dynamite
on the track is deep mystery
and may lead to an investigation.

FRENCH ELECTION RETURNS.
Government Gains Number OF Seats in
Chamber of Deputies.

Paris, May S.--The election results
show increasing government gains.
The ministry of the interior gives the
gains at thirty-fve and the losses at
eleven, or net gain of twenty-four
seats. The effect of this is to give
the bloc or groups supporting the
government in The chamber of depu-
ties, 243 votes against total vote OF
JAG for the opposition groups. The
governmental left, therefore, appears
to be assured Of majority of about
100. There remain over $50 districts
in which second ballots will be neces-
sary.

REPORT is MADE
OF CITY FUNDS
Treasurer Cell Gives Quart.
erly Figures on DISPOSE
ton Of Money.

City Treasurer Cell filed with
the council last evening his
quarterly report for the three
months ending April Both.
The general fund shows a
balance of 81, 577.71, but when
the overdraft of $823.82 is taken
from this it is not quite as large
and the balance is being held
with which to pay registered
warrants.
The sinking fund which by the
charter is created to pay off
bond ed Indebtedness now
amounts to $2,3O6.13 and arises
from a percentage of the license
money. The council deems it
best to loan this money as per-
scribed by the charter and by
this method the city will derive
some reduction on the interest
it now pays on the bonded in
debtedness.
The water fund shows a healthy
balance of $1,078. SO, and as this
grows the same can be expended
in the extension of the water
mains and the improvement Of
the plant.
The city clerks report shows
warrants issued to the amount
of $4,059,18.
