C. W. Scrutchin Attorney for Williams.

Duluth Evening Herald: When
arraigned in municipal court Mon
day morning John Johnson, the
negro accused of the murder of Mrs..
Eva Patterson, will waive examina-
ton and be bouud over to the
session of the grand jury in Septem-
Der without fight. He has been so
advised by his attorney, Charles w.
Scrutchin of Bemidji, and this will
be his course. Unless some new
evidence develops to connect her
with the case, Mandy Jackson will
simply be held as a witness in
default of the $1,000 bond, which
was required of her by the court.
Scrutchin, the attorney retained
for the defence of the colored couple,
is also negro and is an attorney of
some note. He defended Fournier
and Wesley, who were recently con-
victed of the murder of N. 0. Dahl
and daughter. While a conviction
was secured at this time Scrutchin
has moved for a new trail and this
motion is now pending.

THE CR00KST0N TIMES
EDITOR IS A "P|RATE"
Displays Remarkable Nerve in Appro.
priating Original Matter from
the Daily Pioneer

Again does the Crookston Times
comes to the front with a barefaced
act of newspaper piracy-the swiping
bodily of special phone message in
the Daily Pioneer and running it as
Simon-pure exclusive special to
the Times. The article referred to
was a denial of the published state-
ment that Mrs. Emily Chase, the
woman who has been missing from
her home at Yola, had been found.
The Times stole the special that was
published in the Duluth Evening
Herald last Saturday evening, from
Akeley, stating that the woman had
been found, using it as an original
article, without going to the trouble
of ascertaining whether the Herald
was in error or not.
The Pioneer spent some good,
lawful coin of the realm" in tele-
phoning to Yola and ascertaining
the truth or falsity of the Herald
article, reproduced by the Times,
and published the fact that the
story was made out of whole cloth.
And now Loren Wilde, the news
editor of the Times, takes our pur-
chased special and, with nerve

county authorities are doing every
thing possible to unravel the mystery
of her disappearance, but SO far have
not dug up" anything that is con-
sidered valuable clue. However,
they are working on the case and
are confident that some theories
which they entertain concerning the
matter will develop into clues that

Trouble With Strikers at Grand Rapids.

Grand Rapids, July 27.-(Special
to Pioneer. .)-Tonight there was
closed testimony in the case of the
state VS.. Eugene DeCenzo, a case
that has developed sensational
features.
The defendant was a miner at
Bovey. and suspected Of strong
sympathies with the strikers.
The evidence showed that Tues
day noon he went to the railway
station at Coleraine, and while there
was ordered to leave that section of
the country. This was the state
ment made to the man by Charles
Weston, in the presence of number
of mining men. The defendant said
he would not go, and thereupon he
was seized and placed in three
seated rig and driven to Grand
Rapids. At the latter place he was
again ordered to leave this section
of the state and again refused. Then
a complaint was made against him
for carrying a concealed weapon, and
he was arrested.
When De Cenzo was placed in the
wagon he was searched by S. G..
Plummer and Peter Moran and a
revolver found on him. This was
the ground for the charge made.
The complaint was sworn to by E.
G.. Ingalls,. 49,
Today, at the trial, Ingalls, admit
ted that he himself was armed when
De Cenzo was kidnapped Tuesday.
He also admitted that Plummer was
armed and that Hurley who drove
the vigilantes to Grand Rapids, was
likewise carrying a concealed wea-
pom.
Ingalls, had a revolver with him
when he swore to the complaint,
after the defendant had been ordered
to leave his home at Bovey and had
refused.
The couduct of the defendant
was moderate when he was seized
at the railroad station. He pro-
tested however when searched.
He had a pocket book and money
but made no struggle as soon as it
became evident this would not be
taken from him.. g<@--
An officer named Westerlund was
present but did not interfere though
he knew that DeCenzo was being
taken to Grand Rapids against his
will. -,> r.. -
None of the men who deported
the Italian were officers. Bovey
is seven miles from Grand Rapids.

Bank Bears Expense Of Crossing.

There have been some remarks
made relative to the building of the
crossing from the front of the Lum-
bermen's National bank to the
front of O'Eeary & Bowser's general
store which was evidently made
through a misunderstanding. Some
people evidently believe that the
city is putting in the walk and
maintaining it at the expense of
the taxpayers, but such is not the
case, and A. P. White, president of
the bank, says of the matter: THE
bank is putting in the walk and will
maintain it at our own expense; it
will cost the city nothing whatever -
