Joseph Young has recent
~ received from his brother,
Henry, who is now located at
Phoenix, Arizona, the good news
that Henry is rapidly regaining
his w0nted good health since he
moved to Arizona. Henry was
for several years an employe in
the government printing office at
Washington, D.. c., but was
forced to resign on account of Ill
health, which, it was feared, was
developing into consumption.
Henry is we'll known here, and
the fact that his ailment was not
consumption and that he IS SLOW
~ regaining strength will be
pleasing news to his Bemidji

ances here, is now living at Port

Man Killed by G. N. Train Was
Gus Swanson, a
Laborer.
BODY WAS SEVERED IN TWO
PLACES; HEAD BADLY CUT
Deputy Coroner Lair Returned
Last Night With the MangIed
Remains.

j. P. Lair, as deputy county
coroner, came home last night
from Solway, bringing on the
train with him the remains of
Gus Swanson, whose mangled
remains were found on the G.. N.
tracks two miles west Of Solway
yesterday. ...-
Mr.. Lair went to Solway yes.
terday afternoon and found up
on his arrival there that the dis
membered body had been
gathered together and placed in
a box, and he decided to ship the
box to Bemidji, as he found it.
There is no public cemetery at
Solway, and the owner of the
private burial grounds refused
to inter the remains on his lots,
so Mr.. Lahr brought them to Be-
midi. 49,. E.* II.
1t was learned that the body
was found at us yesterday
morning by a section crew that
had come over from Shevlin.
The body had been entirely sew.
cred across the chest, both legs
were torn off, the head was badly
bruised and the face was
scratched in several places.
In the pockets of the clothing
which the man wore was found a
Great Northern Identification
check, showing that "Gus Swan
son" had worked on Section No.
88, at Churches Ferry, N. D.,
during 1905. There was also a
hospital ticket: issued by St.
Mary's hospital, Duluth, good
from Jan. l, 1906, and running
for six months. A note book
was found, in which Swanson
had written his name, care of
Merchants hotel, Bemidji, and
also other addresses of people
living IN Kansas and North Da-
kato. No money was found in
the pocket is. "
1t is thought that the man was
killed by the passenger train
which goes west at 8 o'clock in
the morning, as the blood was
still fresh when the body was
found. ST., ....z.
The body of the unfortunate
man will be given burial this
by the county at the

Webster,s Retaiue.

One day man entered Daniel Web
ster's Office and consulted him in re-
gard to prospective lawsuit. At the
close Of the conference he paid the at
torney retainer of $1OO to look after
the matter. Upon returning to his
place Of business he found that his
partner had already settled the suit,
obtaining the sum demanded without
an attorney. He thought $500 was al
together too much for an office fee, SO
he dispatched his clerk to look after
the subject.
"Mr. Webster" said the young man,
my employer thinks you should re-
turn a part Of your retainer. That
case has been settled
Young man." said the lawyer, you
go back and tell your employer that
retainer is something to be retained"

DR.. Bracken Of State Board OF
Health Outlets Undue APP
prehensi0n.
DISEASE WILL NOT SPREAD
IFPRECAUTION is TAKEN
Not Such a Menace as COnSump,
ton. Says State Board
Officer.

DR.. H. Nj. Bracken of the
state board of health says that
leprosy in this state is not such
a menace as tuberculosis, de-
clares the Minneapolis Tribune.
Speaking of the disease yes
terday in answer to an in
quiry as to what disposition
would be made of Arndt Reton of
Mill park, Bemidji, who is suffer-
ing from leprosy, he stated that
there are upwards of twelve
lepers in the state, and he knows
of three who are living in Mime
apolis. Said the doctor:
'There is little danger OF the
spread of leprosy in Minnesota
or in any other state for that
matter. When l first came into
office there were twenty. four
lepers in Minnesota. Since that
time, probably a dozen have died
and the rest are constantly under
surveillance of the state board of
health.
ut is ridiculous to read the &C
count of lepers, as published last
week in some of the Eastern
newspapers. OF all the cases in
Minnesota, but two are Ameri-
cans. One of them is said to
have contracted the disease from
his brother, while the otter was
thought to be hereditary"
When DR.. Bracken was asked
if there were any cases in the
twin cities he replied: eyes, we
have under observation three
cases now in Minneapolis, but
there is little or no danger of the
disease spreading. In each of
the cases the patient is isolated
from the rest of the family by
using his own dishes, bedding
and bed clothing, and to have his
clothing cleaned apart from the
other mem bers of the family.
"Of course they carry on CON-
munication with mem ers of
their families, but do not use
anything that the rest of the
family USES"
In this case at Bemidji the
state board of health has notified
the county authorities that they
must take care of the leper.
DR.. Bracken asserts that, in
spite of the fact that the disease
is dying out, a national hospital
or a sanitorium for lepers should
be maintained by the United
States government.
