Man Accused Of Numbering August
Franklin, at Spooner, Given Hear
ing Last Evening.
HIS ACTION SAVES THE COUNTY
EXPENSE OF A LONG HEARING
Mum Adheres to Original Story Of
Manner in Which Franklin
r--.-,.-;s-- Was Killed.

w. S. Mum, who shot and killed
August Franklin at Spooner on Fri
day, June 18th, was arraigned in
justice court here yesterday evening,
before Justice M. G. Slocum.
Mum waived examination and
was held without bail to await the
action of the grand jury at the next
term of court for Beltrami county,
which will be held next fall.
There was some apprehension that
Mum might not waive examination,
in which case the county would have
been put to a very heavy expense in
bringing witnesses from Spooner, the
northernmost town in the county,
the journey to Bemidj il of necessity
being made by way of Winnipeg.
However, when Mum was arrest
led by Sheriff Thomas Bailey, he
promised the latter that he would
waive examination and not put the
county to the expense of long pre-
liminary hearing.
Mum sticks to his original story
of the shooting, which comedies
with that given by Mrs. Franklin,
indicating that Franklin was look
ing for trouble.''
However, the fact that Mum
armed himself for the encounter
will probably injure his plea of self
defense.

Canada, new settlers swarmed into
that portion of the Saskatchewan
country in which they resided.
Prices on all grains were then on a
par with those paid in the United
States. But since then the eleva-
tor companies have become masters
of the situation, much to the detri-
ment of the settlers, and conditions
have changed very materially.
Braaton and Knuteson disposed
of their Canadian farms for $40 per
acre, realizing therefrom about the
sum that the buildings on the land
cost them; and they will be content
with permanent residence in Clear

were good crops on the lands, but

A TIMELY GRAFTON
FOR FOURTH OF JULY
''SpeII.binders" Will Find Inspiration in
Observance Of Day in the
Past.
BIScHARGING OF FIREARMS AND
WHOLESALE USE OF EXPLOSIVES
This Means Of Exploiting Patriotism Is
in the Ascendancy---Much
Damage Results.

Many of the spell-binders" who
will be called upon to tell a patriotic
public about this glorious country
on July 4th;are no doubt worrying
themselves as to just what they will
say on that memorable occasion.
Now, the editor of the Pioneer
has given the matter much deep
thought, and we have prepared the
following, which is not copyrighted,
and anyone is welcome to use the
SPELL" without any compensation,
to us.
Fellow citizens, such of you at
least as are able to hear what l say
above the roar of the giant cracker
which is about to explode near
yonder sweet youth, who will shortly
mourn the absence of two fingers
from his dexter hand, this is a me-
morable and immortal day in the
annals of our beloved country.
This day year ago was indeed a
glorious Fourth. One hundred and
ifty-eight joyous souls awoke on its
morning but did not live to witness
its magnificent and inspiring close.
They fell valiantly in celebration of
this great-day. Five thousand three
hundred and eight, to be exact,
survived the occasion in more or less
mutilated condition,
Twenty two of these = devoted
celebrants lost their sight COM
pletely; seventy-two gave up one
eye to the cause; ffty-six parted
with legs, arms or hands; two hun
dred and twenty-seven lost their
fingers; the remainder were injured
in sundry and divers ways impossible
to enumerate.
Due credit for this magnifcently
patriotic demonstration should be
given to the agencies by which the
results were achieved. The blank
cartridges mangled nearly thous-
and; frecrackerS were responsible
for sixteen hundred; the joyous can
non accounted for about four hum
dred; three hundred and fifty fell
before or behind firearms; stray bull
lets caught one hundred and eighty
seven; one hundred and sixty were
victims of canes and caps, while
powder and fireworks laid low some
sixteen hundred.
| In the face of this impressive
showing what caitif will dare chal-
lenge the liberty of the American,
the greatest, the freest, the most
happily careless of life of all the
worlds people? Who will venture to
insinuate that the Declaration Of
Independence has lost its meaning
or that those who celebrate the ami
versary of its signing are unaware Of
its significance? Not I, my fellow
citizens.
independence is freedom, and
freedom is license, and license is
manslaughter, therefore continue to
maintain and perpetuate your method
Of celebrating as long as there re.
mains an arm to be blown off or an
eye to be put out.
Live the republic! Down with
ordinances designed to protect life
and property! Hurrah for free
and murderous Fourth Of July!'
