TED SMITH DEAD; DIED BY
HIS OWN HAND, IN SPOKANE|
Mr.. Smith Was Well Known in Bemidji.Was One Of Be-.
mids Early Pioneers, and Was First the President
Of the Village Council.

H. w. Bailey this morning received
a letter from his son, 0. E. Bailey,
who is at Spokane, in which the
latter enclosed a clipping from the
Spokane Review, telling of the
suicide of Ted Smith, an old resident
of Bemidji, who moved to Spokane
from Bemidji some three years ago.
The Spokane paper says of Smiths
rash act:
Leaving note to his wife that
he was going to join relatives who
passed over two or three years ago,
Ted Smith, spiritualist living on
Moran prairie, shot and killed him
self yesterday morning at $50
o'clock. His wife, Mrs. Cora Kin
cannon Smith, is we'll known in
spiritualistic circles in this city, and
was formerly lecturer on the sub
iect in Pacific hall. Both she and
her husband were thorough believers
in the power of the dead to return
and communicate with those on this
earth, and in the message left by
Smith he promises to come and see
his wife as soon as possible.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Smith
and her mother believed themselves
to be receiving messages from the
dead man assuring them of his
presence with them. At times Mrs.
Smith would become hysterical and
would have to be calmed by force.
Smith arose about S o'clock yes
terday and built fire in the kitchen
stove and then went back to bed.
An hour later he dressed and
wrote the note to his wife, which he
left in the kitchen. After 8 o'clock
his wife and her mother, who be-
lieved he had taken the car and
gone downtown, noticed his hat and
coat in the house and went cut to
the barn to see if he was still there.

It was decided that the depart
ment provide badges, which will
hereafter be worn by each member
of the department..
The Bemidji Fire Department is
one of the very best volunteer fire
departments in the entire state of
Minnesota. The members include
some of the best business men and
most progressive private citizens in
Bemidji. The department has won
many honors at fremen's tourna-
ments and also several championship
banners for superior excellence in
races and contests.
The department is composed of a
very able corps Of fire lighters, and
Bemidji is justly proud of her volun-
teer fremen.

His wife found the body lying be-

the barn.
1t was known that he had been
unable to raise sufficient money to
complete the payment on the bar
fixtures in the Spokoma bar, which
he owned, and for several other small
debts, but as he had refused only a
week ago $500 for his property on
Moran prairie, he was considered
well to do. He came to Spokane
about two years ago from Minnesota,
where, it is reported, he was mayor
of a small town in the Northern part
of the state i5r two terms.
The message that he left to his
wife was as follows:

out to investigate. He found Hill
standing on the sidewalk and took
him into the city hall, where he
laid down on the floor.
Hill told the.story of the shooting
to Mr.. Walker, and the latter tele-
phoned to Chief of Police Knox,
who told Mr.. Walker to send the
night police to the resort to arrest
Johanson.
Patrolmen Denley and Love went
over to the resort, where they found
Johanson, who offered no resistance,
beyond displaying his revolver, the
chambers of which had been emptied.
Johanson was brought to the city
and placed in the lookup, awaiting
lodging of the charge against him.
This forenoon a complaint was
made against Johanson, charging
him with assault in the first degree
(shooting Hill with a loaded firearm
with intent to kilD and this after
noon he was taken before Nj. G..
Slocum, justice of the peace, and his
case was continued until January
3rd, he being committed to the
county jail awaiting preliminary
hearing on that date.
Hill, the man who was shot, does
not appear to have been very seri-
ously injured, although the bullet
from the revolver entered the right
shoulder and lodged near tn e
shoulder blade. Hill does not seem
to suffer much pain, but until the
bullet is distracted he is probably in
considerable danger of serious con.
sequences.

MINNESOTA u MANDOLIN
AND GLEE CLUB IS COMING
Forty Talented College Men Will Give Fine Entertain.
ment at City Opera House Saturday Evening"
Best Organization in the West

The entertainment which the
University of Minnesota Glee and
Mandolin Club gives is of course
musical, and the boys pride them
selves upon having among their
number some of the best artists
in the west. AS the Minnesota
football team always places her in
the front rank and often at the
head of western athletics, so her
Glee and Mandolin Club has estab-
lished its standing as one of the
most thoroughly developed of all
of the organizations .of its kind
in western universities and colleges,
and many say its work is equal
to almost any in the east.
The program, though musical, is
not a recital or even what is gen
orally termed a concert. The
music is presented in a scene
bubbling over with college life and
enthusiasm. There is nothing
staid and solemn about it. One
minute the boys are carried away
with irresista lie mir t h,
and the mirth is contagious
beyond the foot-lights; the next
minute they throw the same heart
and zeal into one of the beautiful
compositions which they have
worked over and studied together
until they feel the impulse of every
note; and again the stage is the
scene of wild college enthusiasm,
an emotion which is second only
to patriotism and is felt much more
strongly by those who are in the
midst of college interests and asso.
