Bovey, Nov. 3.-While out hunt
ing near Trout Lake, about a mile
from town, Sunday, A. M. Ingalls,,
bookkeeper for the Boyey Hardware
company, was accidentlly shot by
his intimate friend and companion,
John Specht. Death followed within
IS minutes, as the shot severed the
jugular vein. A man by the name
of Olson was a third member of the
party and witnessed the tragedy.
Sprecht shot at a weasel and the
bullet struck a rock and was dehec-
ted upward and at a side angle,
striking Ingalls,, who was about so
feet distant, in the neck. When the
shot was fired ingalls, was not in
line by several feet, and had the
bullet not been DETECTED sidewise it
would have missed him easily.
The remains were brought to
town by Specht and Olson and the
authorities at once notified. A
coroner's jury was impaneled by
Deputy Coroner Peterson and an
inquest was held this afternoon.
After hearing the story of the unfor-
tunate affair as related by the two
witnesses the jury returned YER
dict to the effect that Ingalls, came
to his death accidentally, and en-
+irely exonerating Specht from any
blame.

known among his friends, was about

CASS LAKE MAN BRINGS
$4,000 DAMAGE SUIT
James Kennedy, Who Lost Both Arms
as Result Of Accident, Is the
Plaintiff.

Cass Lake, Nov. 5.-(Special to
Pioneer. = James Kennedy, an
employe of the ]. Neil's Lumber
company, who was so severely in
jured while working in the Cass
Lake mill last fall that it was neces-
sary to amputate both of his arms,
has just received a check for $4,000
from the Modern Woodmen order.
Soon after Kennedy was injured
last fall, local members of the
Modern Woodmen lodge made an
appeal to the 1900 M. w. A. lodges
throughout the United States for
aid for the unfortunate man.
The matter was taken up by the
lodges appealed to, with the result
that $4,000 in all was subscribed
among the members, and the check
which Kennedy has received was
the total of the subscriptions of
members of this order.
Kennedy has brought suit against
the ]. Neils company for 100000
damages for the injuries he received
while working in the mill. Owing
to the large amout of the damages
! sued for the case is noteworthy one
among the personal injury suits in
this part of the state, involving the
largest sum ever sued here. The
case will be tried at the next term of
court in Cass county, to be held at
Walker.

Hefner requested him not to shoot.
Spoerhase took up the rifle. and
was warned by Jones that the weapon
was loaded. Spoerhase responded
that he knew it was, and started to
raise the rifle.
Edward Flaherty, who was stand
ing close to Spoerhase, reached for
the gun, pulling the barrel down,
and the weapon was accidentally
discharged.
The bullet from the rifle struck
Flaherty close to his right hip.
Flaherty fell to the floor, exclaim-
ing: Il stopped it, Henry. You
got me, all right"
There was considerable excitement
among those in the saloon, and
finally Jones tied a towel around
Flaherty's leg, stopping the flow of
blood.
DR.. Shannon of this city was taken
to Puposky, where he dressed the
wounded mans hip, special train
bringing Flaherty to Bemidji at 3
o'clock Saturday morning.
Flaherty was placed in the local
hospital, where all possible was done
for his recovery, but the wound
inflicted by the soft-nose bullet, was
of such a nature as to cause death.
'Flaherty was 45 years old, and
owned farm about two miles from
Puposky, where he has lived for the
past two years. He is survived by
a son, Joseph, who was with him at
the time of the accident, and
daughter, Mrs. Mary Taylor of

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
HAS FATAL TERMINATION
Edward Faherty, Who Was Shot in the Hip bya Bullet
From Rifle. Died Yesterday....Body Will be
Buried at Rock Island

The body of Edward Flaherty,
who died at St. Anthony's hospital
in this city yesterday morning, as a
result of being accidentally shot
will be taken to Rock Island fol
burial.
Flaherty's death was a very un-
fortunate occurrence, and has caused
much sorrowful regret on the part
of those who were present at the
time he was accidentally shot.
The particulars of the affair show
that the shooting was purely acci.
dental and that no real blame can
be attached to anyone for the un.
fortunate occcrrence.
The shooting occurred at Puposky
last Friday evening. Mr.. Flaherty,
with his son Joseph, Matt, Joe and
Nick Heffner, Henry Spoerhase and
Edward Jones, were assembled ir
Heffner's hotel at Puposky, prior to
and at the time the shooting occurred.
All of them had been in the barroom
of the hotel.
There we're tive rifles in the party,
both of which were .30..3O Winches.
tiers, one being owned by Flaherty
and the other by Jones. They had
been looking at the two guns, putting
shells into the chambers and taking
them out again.
After the party had eaten supper,
they again went into the bar room
to get smoke, Jones having previ.
ously placed loaded shells in his
rifle.
Spoerhase jokingly asserted that
he was going to shoot the paper bell

Son Born on Train.

"A birth was recorded Monday
that is much out of the ordinary,
and which marks the Red Lake rail
way as being a promoter of the
theory that race suicide is a myth,
especially in this northern country.
The NJ, R. L. & NJ. railway can
lay claim to having born on one of
its moving passenger trains a bounc-
ing baby boy, of large proportions
and good lung power.
The son was born to Mrs. Charles
Beterson, who lives near Puposky,
and who had boarded the train at
Puposky to come to Bemidji.
And now, there be those who
insist that the youthful Peterson. be
christened Pat Marson Peterson.

BIG GAME SEASON OPENS
NEXT SUNDAY, NOV. 10TH
Deer Are Numerous, But Few Miles
From Bemidji. ...moose Are Hard
toEGet.

The season for hunting deer and
moose will open next Sunday, the
10th inst, and already there are
many inquiries concerning hunting,
as to whether deer are plentiful and
how far one has to 60 to get them
and also as to whether there are
any chances of getting shot at a
moose.
Reports from those living in the
woods adjacent to Bemidji is to the
effect that deer were never more
plentiful than this fall. There has
been very little killing of big game
out of season and the deer have
thrived very noticably during the
last two seasons.
AS to moose, there are very few
of them in this vicinity, but the
big fellows" are quite numerous
east of Blackduck and Northome
and in the vicinity of Big Falls and
also north and northwest of Kelliher.
It is difficulty matter to kill a
moose and get the carcass to point
for shipment, as the woods which
they frequent are for the most part
isolated and considerable distance
from any railroad station.
Among the places where deer are
plentiful may be named the follow
ing: In the vicinity of Puposky,
Nebish and Redby on the Red Lake
railway; north of Bemidji by wagon
road along the chain of lakes from
Turtle lake; out a short distance
from any of the towns north of Be.
midi on the M. & I. railway; south
of Bemidji along Marquette and
Plantagnet lakes and the School.
craft river and also west of there to
the Itasca park. In fact, deer can
be found most anywhere. at a dis.
tance of not over five miles from the
heart of this city.

NEW RECORD REACHED
MAY WHEAT FALLS TO Low
PoINT-CAUsE OF DECLINE.
Bearish Sentiment Prevails All Day in
Pit-Corn Holds
Steady.

CHICAGO, January "a new low-record
price for the crop of wheat for May de,iv-
cry was reached in the local market today
when that option sold at 1914 The decline
was caused to some extent by liberal re-
ceipts at all primary points in the United
States. At the close May was a shade
below the final quotations of yesterday.
Corn was unchanged. Oats were 1saA
lower. Provisions were 21a higher to 21aa5
lower.
Sentiment in the wheat pit was bearish
all day, but during the last hour the de-
sire to sell became less urgent and the
market became steady. The new low
record mark was touched soon after the
opening. and also later in the day. The
general situation showed little change.
Weather conditions were favorable for the
movement, the demand for cash wheat con-
tinued slow and trade in flour exceedingly
dull. The market was influenced at the
opening by lower prices at Liverpool and
by liberal receipts in the northwest.
A Bearish Influence.
Later the market was bearishly affected
by large primary receipts, the total move
ment today being $4,000 bushels, against
663.0O0 bushels for the corresponding day
a year ago. Cash and commission houses
were the principal sellers and shorts the
chief buyers. The market closed steady.
May opened unchanged to Is lower, at 1875
to 751a, sold off to 75A. and closed at 75asa
751a Clearances of wheat and -four were
equal to 452, 900. Minneapolis. Duluth and
Chicago reported receipts of 457 cars,
against $50 cars last week and 42S cars a
year ago.
Despite renewed efforts by the bears to
break the corn market, prices held steady
all day because of good support by several
leading commission houses. Improved
weather conditions and liberal receipts were
factors favoring lower prices, but they were
offset by large clearances. The market
closed steady. May opened unchanged to
a shade higher, at 43 to 43a43A, sold off to
427s and closed at 43. Local receipts were
5SS cars with 9 of contract grade.
Dat Market Easier.
Trading in oats was fairly active, and
the market was easier, because of liberal
receipts, and in sympathy with wheat.
Commission houses and cash interests were
the chief sellers, while the principal demand
came from shorts. May opened Is to a
lower, at 352 to 357s, sold up to 357sa36, and
closed at 35Aa357s. Local receipts were 2S6
cars.
Provisions opened weak n realizing Sales
but soon rallied on buying by local packers
and shorts. The demand for lard was es-
pecially active. At the close May pork was
up 2h, at 1921 Lard was off 2Ra5c., at
9.45. and ribs were up 21a, at 9.021aa9 05.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
II cars; corn, 563 cars; oats, 372 cars; hogs,

CAUTIOUS IN LONDON
RAILWAY INQUIRY AFFECTS
SPECULATION IN AMERICANS.
Effect Of Easier Money Conditions is
Felt-Heavy Dividend
Distribution.

LONDON, January 5.-The year began
cheerfully on the stock exchange. Busi-
ness was moderately active this week and
there was good all round advance in
prices. The chief influence was the un-
expectedly easier condition of the money
market, which induced dealers to mark up
quotations in anticipation OF a revival of
public support, while expectations Of an
early reduction of the bank rate brought
fresh support for consols and first-class
securities generally, resulting in a SUBJ
stanial gain of one point on the week for
the first named security. There also were
smaller advances in other directions. For
eign bonds received increased attention
from Paris and Berlin, new Russians
steadily recovering to ~ per cent dis
count.
Americans received less attention than
usual. The diversity of expert opinion in
Wall street regarding the future course of
the market, together with uneasiness re-
garding the outcome of the inquiry of the
interstate commerce commission into the
administration of the Hartman group of
railroads, caused operators here to work
cautiously, resulting in business being left
in the hands of the professionals with
Wall street connection.
Bulls Efforts Checked.
Dear money, combined with the liquida-
ton in Union Pacific and Reading during
the greater part of the week, checked the
efforts of the bulls to put up prices but
easier monetary conditions yesterday,
coupled with the expectation of a good
New York bank statement today, caused

tionally dearer on the balance
