Earl Warner. Aged 9 Years, Receives
Small Wound in Front Of His
Skull.
NOT KNOWN HOW THE ACCIDENT
OCCURRED; BOY DON'T REMEMBER
Some of Brain Matter and Blood Has
Been Emitted From Wound.
At Hospital.

In some manner, not exactly
known, Earl Warner, the 9-year-
old son of G. Warner of this city,
was seriously injured last even.
ing, receiving wound in the
'front.' part of his head which is
considered to be dangerous.
The Warner family live on the
south side of the G. N. railroad
track, one block from the Hazen
home, where they have a stable
and keep team of horses. The
horses were running at large
and Earl was sent to get them,
at about six o'clock last evening.
He was absent for some time.
He was found by Nick Pickle,
near the Bemidji Brewing COM
pany's plant, in an unconscious
condition, with a small hole in
the front of his head, out of
which blood was dripping. The
boy was taken to his home and a
physician summoned. An exam
ination of the wound showed that
the opening in the scalp was
small, not being larger than the
circumference of ones small
finger. Several small pieces of
the skull bone had been driven
into the wound, and about
tablespoonful of brain matter
was emitted from the hole.
The injured boy was taken to
the hospital, where the portions
of the bone were removed and.
the wound dressed. There were
some hemorrhages, but after the
Injury had received medical
attention, the boy rested some
what. !.
The little patient has no clear
recollection as to how the acci-
dent happened, but it is gener-
ally believed that he was in some
manner, kicked by one of the:
thorses.
| While there is apparent recov-
cry from the accident, it is
barely possible that complica.
tions might set in at any time
that would have fatal results.

The County Board at Grand Rapids
Was Still Tied When Last ~.

ELECTIVE COUNTYATTORNEY
TELLS BOARD, do BUSINESS"
Important Business Not Transacted
Thought That Board Would Get
Going This Morning.

The county board squabble at
Grand Rapids has assumed such
serious proportions that the
newly elected county attorney of
the county is threatening to pre-
fer charges against the four
"flibusters who now constitute
the board and have them elected
from Office, If they do not speed
lily "get together" and transact
some business that will be of
benefit to the taxpayers of Itasca
county.
A telegram from st. Paul says
concerning the matter:
''Itasca county, as one result
of the recent division of the coun-
ty, finds itself in a peculiar stu
alton, under which it has no coun-
ty attorney and practically no
board of county commissioners,
since the board is at deadlock
and refuses to do any business of
any kind. County Attorney elect
Alfred L. Thwing was here yes
terday trying to get the matter
Strengthened out, and as a step
toward that end he wired the
members of the county board
yesterday afternoon that if they
did not break the deadlock and
get busy at once he would file the
charges against them with view
of removing them from Office. T
"When the county was divided
it left only three of the old
county board members living

.FLY.BY-NIGHT CONCERNS
DESERVE NO PATRONAGE
Simply Unloading a Lot Of "junk'
That Cannot Be Sold
Elsewhere.

The attention of the readers Of
the Pioneer is called to the ad-
vertisements in these columns Of
the merchants who are residents
of this city; gentlemen who have
stood by the city from day to
day and watched the community
grow from ''swaddling clothes"
infant to a giant among the cities
of the north half of the state;
business men who have invested
their money here and will be
found here every day of the 365
in the year, prepared to give you
back your money if any article
which they handle proves un-
satisfactory.
In contrast to this square deal
ing is the "ay by night" concern
that comes for a day and tomor-
row is not, which getteth the
coin by ''glib SPELL and a dis
play Of shop worn, fre-sale, cast
off goods that are the offal of
back-alley "three- BALI "uncles .
who cannot dispose of their goods
to anyone and who form a COM
pany with a large name for the
purpose of gulling a susceptible
public in some city to buy the
remnants.
The Pioneer has learned by
experience that it is poor busi-
ness policy to hitch up with these
travelling peddler outfits. It
was necessary for this paper, q
little over a year ago, to attach
the ''strong box" of concern
that advertised literally but was
slow in looming in with pay for
the same.
Pass up the licensed party who
only wants to get started and
then will defy the authorities to
collect more than the price of the
