LEGAL ACTION H|NTED
Prosecutions May Result From
Recent Financial Furry.
DECISION NOT YET REACHED

District Attorney Stimson Says His
Office Is Engaged in investigating
Affairs of Certain National Banks in
New York City.
New York, Nov 9.--Reports that
criminal prosecutions as a result OF
conditions disclosed by the present
banking situation in this city are i'm
minent have gained wide circulation
in financial circles. 1t was said that
representatives of the comptroller of
the currency, who have thoroughly In.
vestigated the affairs of two national
banks which have been prominently
mentioned in connection with the
present trouble, found conditions
which led them SO make unusually
minute reports to their superior. Just
what the nature OF these reports was
has not been disclosed.
When the reports of prospective
criminal action were taken to United
States District Attorney Stimson he
said that no decision had yet been
reached to prosecute any one in con-
nection with the recent bank trou-
bles. He said, also. that any such
decision would be made here and not
in Washington. Mr.. Stimson said
Since the banking troubles in this
city became acute in the last three

with the same care that 1t always

THE SCHOOL BOARD
Gives Special Attention to the Truancy
Problem.


At the meeting of the school board
last Wednesday evening the matter OF
dealing with the truancy problem was
considered and the president was re-
quested to attend to the enforcement of
the law relating to the same. It is made
misdemeanor by law for the parents
and guardians of children between the
ages of eight and eighteen years to
neglect or refuse to send such children
to school. The only way to avoid such
liability is to appear before the board
and show cause why the children should
not attend, whereupon they may be ex-
Guessed from doing so.
The chairman is required to attend to
the enforcement of the law and is made
liable to fine of $4,000 for neglecting
this duty.
The welfare of the children, and not
fear of the law, should be the prime in
centive to send the Chi ldren to school,
and it would be discreditable to the COM
munity to assume that appeal to the law
may become necessary to assure regular
attendance at school.

To Organize a Gun Club.

The organization of hunting and gun
club, is proposition that is being given
consideration by several of the villagers
and it is suggested that a meeting OF
those Interested in the matter be held at
an early date. The sole purpose of such
an organization, it is pointed out, need
not be simply to promote the practice of
target shooting. It could assume other
missions more important to it's members
and the community as whole A part
of it's work could be the establishment
of hunting camps IN favored localities
for the pleasure of it's members and for
the accommodation of hunters coming
from abroad; it could by enterprising
mani pulation of all the advantages here
offered and by considerate attention to
visiting sportsmen advertise this locality
in way that would be OF real benefit to
the community. At any rate there is
good work that q gun club could do be-
sides entertaining it's members. Those
who are interested are invited to meet
at the store next Tuesday evening at
8 o'clock.

A Road to Schaaf Lake.

There is an agitation in Lake county
for the building of highway from Little
Marais to Schaaf Lake. The county
board of that county has been petitioned
fer this improvement by a number of
settlers. This improvement will be a
benefit to winter travel generally. Be-
cause there was no highway communi-
cation between Schaaf Lake ard Little
Marais travellers from this section have
heretofore been forced to drive to Beaver
Bay to make connection with the rail
way. A road from Little Marais to
Schaaf Lake would shorten by many
miles the distance necessary to travel by
team and would shorten the time requir-
ed for the Duluth Grand Marais trip by
about day. This feature of the case
may not be so material to the question
as viewed by the Lake county board, but
1t is feature that appeals very strongly
to that portion of the travelling public
who may have occasion to make this
trip In the winter time.

Tells Queer
Bear Stories

AL Grant was brought up from For
sythe's camp near Hovland by Deputy
Sheriff LeSage Thursday upon warrant
sworn out by VIM. Forsythe charging
him with disturbing the peace. It ap-
pears that Grant had been indulging in
alcoholics rather too heavily, until his
mind gave way and he raised quite dis
turbance in camp. He left tho camp
suddenly one evening and wandered
away into the woods. Men went out in
search of him but he was not found
until some time next day. He was then
suffering from delirum and told.a weird
story of his experience with a herd of
bears during the night. He says he was
attacked by several bears on the road
and knowing that there we're bear hunt
ers in the vicinity, he made an cutlery
rescue. Transforming themselves into
bears and by means of a charm not un-
derstood by him they soon had the real
bears muzzled and in captivity. He also
witnessed an imaginary drowning of two
children and when he went TO their
rescue bystanders, among whom was one
of the children's fathers, objected and
said to let them drown. That seemed
to him the queerest thing he ever heard
of-that father should want to see his
child drown. One of the children did
drown and the life saving crew rescued
the other.
His mania appears of q mild kind.
He appears quite we'll and natural
and shows no nervousness. He is per-
fectly rational on all other matters but
as often as these matters are suggested
he repeats without deviation the stores
about the bears and the drowning accl-
dent. He was taken before Judge
Durfee yesterday and being considered
incapable of pleading, his case was ad-
journed ten days and he was committed
to the county Jail. 1t is thought likely
that he will recover in few days. and
the purpose Of this action was simply to
have him placed in custody and thus
| protected from misadventure.
