question, along with others, were hold

kind on the reservation, when the no

ensued and in the melee that followed
the officer shot and wounded one of the

TERRIBLY MANGLED.
Galret P. DeMott Met Horrible Death
Under Wheels Of Train.

Crookston Journal: Last night one
of the worst accidents which ever oc-
CURED in this city in prospect to shock

Northern railroad. when Carrot P. De-
Mott a we'll known young man of this
city. was ground to death. Just when
the accident occurred or which train
caused the terrible tragedy is mat
ter of speculation. The body was dis
covered early this morning, part of
the head and trunk we're found ground
to bits about one hundred yards north
of the overhead bridge at Eighth
street and the legs were found near
the coal sheds In South Crookston.
And 1t was not for some time after
the remains had been picked up by
Coroner Chesterman that the body
was identified. A memorandum book
and the young mans watch served to
identify him and it was then found
that he had not been seen by any one
who knew him since o'clock last
evening. The last seen of him by his
parents was about or little after
when they were returning from an
automobile ride which they took last
evening under the auspices Of the
automobile entertainment. He was on

AN OLD TIME
MANAGER
c. E. White Of the Crookston Opera
House Visits Grand Forks-A Man
Well Informed Upon Theatrical
Matters in the Northwest.

Manager c. E. White of the Crooks
ton opera house, was a guest at the
Hotel Dacotah last evening, enroute
home from busienss trip to Fargo
and Winnipeg. Mr.. White, some year
and half ago, took the management
of the Crookston opera house and
through his energy and ability has
succeeded in placing theatricals in
that city on paying basis. He came
to Crookston from Faribault, Mimi,
and is one of those old-time theatre
cal managers whom it is "a pleasure
for the press gang to meet and in
terview. \
Mr.. White has been at Winnipeg as
the guest of Con Walker and has been
arranging for the opening of the
vaudeville season in Crookston.
Crookston last year was one of the
few towns in the circuit in which
vaudeville paid and Mr.. White antici-
pates another successful season. He
stated to an Evening Times represen-
tative last night that the Winnipeg
theatre to be erected by the Walker
Bros. is to be one of the finest in Can
ada. Something of the remarkable
advance in realty holdings in Winni-
peg may be judged by the fact that
the, Walkers four years ago secured
options on site for new play house
at $40 front foot. Today the same
site is held at $500 per front foot and
will undoubtedly be sold at not less
than that figure. AS soon as the new
theatre is erected. Walker Bros. pro-
pose to erect nine story hotel and
the entire investment in the opera
house and hotel will be in the neigh
borhood of 100000. Mr.. Whites trip
into the Canadian country was one of
interest and enjoyment and relief
from the everyday duties of an active
career. He discussed theatricals with
local Manager Myers last evening at
the Dacotah and the two we'll known
promoters are working in harmony in
an effort to make vaudeville in this
circuit an unqualified success. Mr..
White took occasion to pay Manager
Meyers the highest compliment for his
conscientious management of the local
theatre and stated that he feels GER
tain that the Walkers appreciate the
able manner in which the MetrOpoli-
tan has been handled by him. He be-
lieves that the future of theatricals
in the dread basket circuit" is
bright one and the cities therein will
be given even better productions an
other season than in this past one.
He at one time, owned and managed
company on the road for himself and
Is full of interesting "reminiscences of
early days in the northwest. Mr.. White
returned to Crookston this morning.

LECTURE COURSE.
School Board Secures Five of the Best
Attractions Before the Public.

The school board has completed ar
rangements for one of the best lecture
and entertainment course ever offered
the public in this part of the country.
The course consists Of five numbers,
and every one of them is an education
within itself. The board has taken
this step because of the imperative de-
mand for work of this kind as supple
mental to the school work The chill
dren learn from books and the con-.
slant contact with teachers give them
something Of the individuality of the
teacher6if that teacher is alive to her
work and qualified to develop the child
nature. But good teachers recognize
the fact that children need contact
with the minds of others to prevent
them from becoming narrow and bias
ed. The course includes five numbers,
as follows: Father Vaughn, emphat-
ically the ablest platform orator in his
class, and man which such cities rs
St Paul and Milwaukee consider them
selves fortunate to secure. The Chi
cagO Glee club. the acknowledged best
male quartette in America, and one
which is secured because it is filling
passing date between the larger
cities. Ralph Parrette. the most genial
humOrist of the age, and the peer of
Mark Twain at his best. Brush. the
world-famous magician, who has mys-
titled the largest audiences in the great
cities. The Lyceum Favorites. musi-
cal and reading aggregation of the
very best artists to be obtained, .es-
specially organized for just such work
as the engagement in this city. It
will thus be seen that the board has
secured the finest course that has ever
been brought to the city. The OPEN
ing number will be in the latter part
Of October. and they will continue un-.
til the last OF March. III

4 Record TO Be Proud OF.

When the books of this city were
audited. the money turned in from the
municipal court was carefully checked,
and while more than $4,000 had been
handled by Judge Sullivan there was
a discrepancy of a cent in his ac-
counts. This was nothing more than
should have been. but it is something
to be proud of that after all the years
which have interviewed since he as
sumed the position, he was able to
produce a perfect account of every dol
lar at almost moments notice. He
did not need an expert to install a
bookkeeping system and teach him
how to conduct it. The efficient clerk
of the court, to whom a share Of the
credit of the splendid record is due,
is able to open and keep his own
books ~, 80 -! NJ
