NO HOPE FOR KING OSCAR
End Of Sweden's Aged Ruler
Apparently at Hand.

Stockholm, Dec. 9-King Oscar Of
Sweden is dying. He has lain uncon-
scious all day and the end is expect
ed at any moment. The final sacra-
ments have been administered. All
the members Of the royal family are
gathered at the bedside of the venera-
BILE monarch The patient has had
occasional moments Of consciousness,
when he recognized those about him,
but these have been Of very short
duration. The physicians bulletin en-
phasizes the gravity of his condition.
It says:
"The kings strength has been con-
tinuously decreasing during the night.
His majesty is at times not fully con-
scious. Action of the heart weaker.
Pulse IS, irregular. Breathing diff
cult
King Oscars periods of unconscious
ness are becoming more prolonged.
During the short intervals when his
majesty rallies he seems to recognize
the persons at his bedside.
AS the afternoon progressed all the
members of the royal family gathered
around the bedside of the king. Pre-
rnier Linman also was present. The
bishop of Stockholm was summoned
and he administered the final sacra-
ment. His majesty still has occasional
moments of consciousness, during
which he shows signs of recognition
Of those about his bedside, but he
quickly relapses into insensibility.

Oscar was born at Phillippi, Wis,
in 1885. In company with his
father he moved to Bemidji eigh
years ago, and has made this city
his home ever since.
Three years ago Oscar began to
show symptoms of the tuberculosis.

when he began to do everything
possible for his relief. He grew
worse and steadily declined until

who lives at Big Falls, and also to
his sister, Miss Leila Solberg, who is
now living at Funkley. Arrange
ments for the funeral will not be
made until they arrive tomorrow

The Hotel Burroughs, the new
hostelry located in the Thome &
Mayer block, was formally opened
to the public Saturday evening,
when an elaborate dinner was
served from 5 O'Clock until 10.
Mr.. Burroughs had labored un.
ceasingly to make the opening a
successful one, and his labors were
awarded with an excellent patronage
and remarks of commentator from
all sides.
Prof. Symington's orchestra was
engaged for the occasion and
rendered an excellent program dur
ing the entire evening.
The dining room and cafe were
patronized all evening, and those
who visited the hotel were given
most excellent service.
The menu served Saturday even
ing was most excellent one, the
different courses being. the best
the market afforded.
The new hotel starts out on most
favorable conditions and Mr..
-
Burroughs will undoubtedly receive
a fair share of the patronage of the
public.

MAN AND WIFE CHARGED
WITH MURDER OF 3 MEN.
Warrants Allege They Exploded the
Dynamite Which Killed Italians
at CoIeraine.

& Boyey, Dec. 9.-Sheriff Hoolihan
of Grand Rapids arrested John Botto
and his wife at their home in this
town Saturday morning on suspicion
sof having exploded the dynamite
which killed three Italians as they
slept in their cabin near the Canisteo
mine, early in the morning of Nov.
3.
Botto and his wife were taken to
Grand Rapids by the sheriff and are
in the Jail there. Their preliminary
hearing will be held today. County
officials refuse to disclose the nature
of evidence against them.
Intimation of the probable arrests
was given in a dispatch from Grand
Rapids Friday night. The warrants
were sworn out before the dispatch
was filed but at the request of the
authorities the action was not dis
closed. Sheriff Hoolihan came to
Bovey early Saturday. He carried
the warrants with him. Botto and
hia wife were at home and they
made no resistance. Neither would
make a statement, appearing to not
know why,,they we're arrested.
Botto and his wife conducted a
boarding house at which all of the
seven men blown up in the cabin
were boarders. Owing to an alter
cation with the proprietor the seven
withdrew their patronage, Shortly
after the tragedy occurred. The
officials say that Botto had been
heard to make threats against the
survivors since the tragic happening
and that his statements partially
caused the arrest.
The three men who we're killed
were Mike Palubello, August Palu
bello and Joe Dellegreco. With -four
other Italians they were asleep IN a
hut which was destroyed by the
explosion. Two men, supposed tc
have committed the crime, were
arrested the following day but were
released.
The Oliver Iron Mining company
offered reward of $4,000 for the
arrest and conviction of those re-
sponsible for the outrage and Gov
ernor Johnson offered a similar
reward in behalf of the state. The
joint reward has acted as a spur te
the authorities, who have used every
means at their command to Learn
the identity of the murderers.

Plan Arranged to Finance Entire Crop
of Texas.

Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. AT a
conference between Malcolm Graham,
representing Galveston banking con-
Germs, and President D. J. Neill of the
Farmers union, arrangements were
made to finance the entire cotton crop
of Texas on very liberal terms. I'm
der the new arrangements the farmer
can ship his cotton to Galveston and
receive an advance payment in New
York exchange at once If he wants
the cotton held subject to his order
the bankers will advance him $40
bale. If left to be sold at their dis
erection he will receive $50 a bale and
if to be shipped to foreign markets
he will receive an advance of $35 a
bale. This arrangement is only a de-
tail of the fight for 15-cent cotton be-

Men Wounded During Raid.
Hopkinsville, KY, Dec. 9.-Five
hundred might riders" masked and
heavily armed, marched into Hopkins
Vile about o'clock in the morning
and destroyed four tobacco ware
houses and other property valued at
over 100000, while the citizens, in
terror Of their lives, feared to even
so much as open their windows and
the police, fire department, telephone
and telegraph Offices and even the
railroad stations were in possession
of a wild mob, shooting right and
left, the flames from burning build
ings in the meanwhile lighting up the
city and the surrounding country un-
til it seemed that the whole town was
ablaze. Windows in the front of bust
ness houses and banks on the main
street of the city were shot out and
the entire front Of one newspaper,
which had been especially severe in
it's condemnation of the raids of the
night riders and which was owned
by the mayor of the city, was demol-
ished.
Fortunately only two men were in
jured, one Of them being Lindsay
Mitchell, tobacco buyer, who was
severely beaten with switches and
clubs, and the other brakeman, who
was shot in the back while trying to
remove his train from the path of
the flames.
The raid of the night riders caught
the city unawares, as for some time
the depredations resulting from the
tobacco war had been of a minor ma
ture and it was generally thought that

KILLED IN WRECK LAST
FRIDAY, ON LOGGING SPUR
lanes Steele. Conductor Running North
of AkeIey, KiIled.-TWo Are
Injured.

Akeley Tribune: James Steele,
the well-known Great Northern con-
ductor, was killed just before noon
today (Friday) in a bad accident
on the logging spur at camp 21.
John Murray, the roadmaster, and
brakeman, were injured.
They were brought to the village
at once and are now at the Union
hospital.
John Murray was hurt about the
shoulders, but was able to be up
when the Tribune reporter called.
Mr.. Murray said the collision
occurred at Kabekona creek at about
11:2O this forenoon. The engine
with seven cars of gravel and ca
boose were backing around a very
sharp curve known as the hogs
back, when they struck hand.Car
and carload of steel.
They did not see the car until
within about 90 feet of it and were
running about five miles an hour.
John says they signaled the engi-
neer but that he could not see the
signal. Steele and the brakeman
got out of the caboose at once.
When the caboose struck, it was
thrown off. the track, turned on its
side and hurled down a 40 feet en-
bankment into the creek. John was
at the window when the collision
occurred, but was struck by the
stove and rendered unconscious.
The caboose caught fire but the
flames were extinguished in the
creek. John revived and crawled
out, where he saw Steele in sitting
position-dead. The brakeman was
also badly hurt about the shoulder,
while the Waterman, who was asleep
in the caboose, was unframed.
Murray thinks Steele was under the
caboose when it turned over on it's
side. Steele had evidently endeav.
ored to gain the top of the car. 1t is
said the engineer did not know that
the accident had happened until he
saw the caboose in the creek, when
- he set the brakes.
James Steele has been in charge
of the logging trains on the Crooked
Lake spur for several months past
and was considered an efficient, con.
scientious and painstaking railroad
man. He has wife and family
resididg at Melrose, the division
headquarters. He was member of
the Masonic order. The railroad
officials and his family have been
notified of the sad accident.

horses heads and after a struggle
backed them off the track just in
time. AS the engine passed Barlow
