npoaaone Little TIMBER

Ora Miller, of Des Moines. chief dis,
patchef of the Rock Island, told the
following story recently: while
making a trip over the Northern Pa
cifc we stopped at a station in the
attractive valley of the Yellowstone
river. Several of the passengers
sought the right of way for a Jreatf
of fresh air and a limbering jaunt
alongside the train. The mountains
could be seen in the distance; a
rugged setting to the almost treeless
landscape. Presently a member Of
the party addressing a passing citizen
in the garb of a cowboy said: What
is the name of this town, my friend?'

lieved to have occurred the last
Of February.
'The deputy sheriff stated that
Mathieson had been located at
Portland and an order tele.
graphed for his arrest. He will
be brought back to Bemidii for
trial. -
County Attorney Henry Funk
ley swore out a warrant on Mon
day for the apprehension and
arrest Of Mathieson, charging
him with murder in the first de-
gree. This action was taken be-
fore the coroner's jury brought
in it's verdict, and Immediately
after DR.. Marcum, county coro-
ner, had given his testimony.
Mr.. Funkley gave the warrant
to Deputy Sheriff Bailey and the
latter started for Portland Tues
day afternoon.
While the authorities are say

may have in the way of evidence
against Mathieson, it is safe to
presume that strong case will
be presented, if apprehended.

Bemidji Lodge, No. 1862, B. P.

state convention of Minnesota
Elks, which will be held at Still
water on August 5th, and a
strong attempt will be made to
secure the 1908 annual conven-
tion of the order for Bemidii.
To this end every effort will be
put forth by the Bemidji Elks
and their friends, and 1t is con-
fidently believed that the meet
can be secured for this city.
Bemidji lodge has elected as
delegates to the state convention
Exalted Ruler Charles L. Decker,
r. S. Lycan, A. H. Jester, J. G.
Covington, John G.. Parker and
B. H. Ives. These gentlemen
are all hustlers, and backed by a
substantial delegation of Elks
and their friends of this city,
will make strong showing be.
fore the Saltwater gathering.
These state meets are of great
benefit to the city in which they
are held, and there is always con-
siderable rivalry among the diff
ferent lodges as to where the
conventions will be held.

VILLAGE OF KELL|HER
SELLS WATERW0RkS BONDS
W. \. Roberts, of Bemidji, Gets Bonds
Work on Plant Will Be
Pushed.

Kelliher, May 23.-(Special to
Pioneer The village of Kelliher
has sold it's waterworks bonds,
and the speedy completion of the
waterworks system for the vii
lage is now assured.
At special election held last
August the proposition to bond
the village for $4,000 for the pur-
pose Of putting in a waterworks
system was carried, almost
unanimously. Negotiations we're
opened with the state for a loan
on the bonds, but after consider
able delay, the negotiations fell
through, owing to a misunder-
standing. The work of putting
in the system was commenced,
but was stopped, owing to the
failure of the plan to get the
money from the state. It was
decided to again advertise for
the sale of the bonds, and the
bids were opened at a meeting of
the village council held the first
of the week, with the result that
they we're sold to w. H. Roberts
of Bemidji, at 6 per cent par.
The bonds are for $4,000, $1,000
of which becomes due May 1,
1913, and 81, 900 each year there
after, for four years.
The work of installing the
waterworks system will be done
under the supervision of M. D.
Stoner of Bemidji and G. w.
Jewett of Blackduck, who have
been retained as engineers for
the village. The plans call for a
steel tower, 100 feet high, on top
of which will be a steel tank six
feet high, with a capacity for
10000 barrels of wafer, the sink
ing of large we'll, and the lay.
ing of three blocks of skin ch
water mans.
The contracts for the system
have been let as follows: Steel
tower and tank, Chicago Bridge
& Iron Works; water MAINS, 81.
Bosworth, Ada; well, EspeBros.,
Crookston. The foundation for
the tower and tank has already
been completed, and the work of
installing the remainder of the
system will at once be pushed to
com pletion.
Kelliher now has in running
order a new electric light plant
and system, which cost $4,000,
and which was paid for out Of
the general funds of the village.
This is a 700.light plant, and is
being used to such an extent
that it is rapidly reaching the
limit.

made to revive Lundberg, but to
no avail, the body was cold in

From the position in which the
body lay, it is evident that Lund-
berg fastened the strap to the
ceiling, high enough so that he
had to stand in bed to reach it,
and then fastening 1t about his
neck, threw himself backward
and was gradually strangled to
death. .
