Looking For His Son.

It is the same old story, a boy left

life for himself without his parents
knowledge or consent.
Such is the case of Jay Bisiar, a
boy II years who left a good home
in Brainerd a week ago Sunday,
where he had been employed in the
N. P. r. r. shops as an entered
apprentice and but two more years
to serve when he could pass as a
master mechanic and receive his So

The father Of the boy, who is also
employed in the same shops, arrived
in Crookston late Saturday evening,
tired and weary from weeks search
in Larimore, Devils Lake and other
points for the boy in hopes that he
could locate, him but thus far his
search has been frnitless.
The father was in hopes Of find-
ing him here, or getting some trace
of him, as he is a cousin Of the

Capt. Jenks Very III.

The people of Crookston, Grand
Forks and entire northwest will be
shocked by the definite announce
ment that Capt. c.. H. jerks is near
deaths door. His ailment, chronic
disease of the arteries Of the brain,
is incurable, and he is apt to pass
away within a few hours and it is
not thought possible he can live
more than day.
He has not been fully conscious
since last Saturday. The members
OF his family are all at his bedside.
While it was known that he has
been very i'll, it was generally sup
posed that he had fighting chance
to recover. His physicians stated
today however, that his case was
hopeless. Crookston Journal.
The captain is well known in
Bemidji, and his friends here will
await with considerable anxiety the
outcome Of his present illness.

A CHEESE THAT WORKED
OVERTIME WHEN ASKED
County Attorney Henry Funkley Is Firm Believer in the
Raising Of Dairy Products. HAS Had Considerable
Experience in that Line

County Attorney Henry Funkley
has commented quite freely of late
on the articles published in the
Pioneer relative to the development
of northern Minnesota along dairy.
In a burst of confidence to the
Pioneer man, today, Mr.. Funkley
said, concerning his experience with
dairy products:
Yes, the time will surely come,
and at no great distant day, when
northern Minnesota will be great
dairy country. Butter and cheese
will take the place of logs and lum-
Der as a { numerical commodity.
Speaking of cheese, puts me in
mind of some cheese that l bought
from Knopke several years ago. It
was contained in half pint glass
jar. I have got the most of it yet.
It cost me seventy-five cents, and it
was great cheese. I remember the
time I brought it home. The
moment I broke the seal the escap-
ing order made an awful commotion
among the flies in the ceiling, some
thing like that likely to be produced
by a sudden flash of fame; every
insect suddenly alert to get out of
the way or under cover meanwhile
the odor continuing, until the whole
house was one buzz of creeping,
crawling, hopping and flying insects.
For a moment I was undecided
what to do. I knew that there
would be trouble if my wife should
happen in, as she is very neat

housekeeper, and so / threw the jar,
cheese and all into the we'll, where
it bubbled like boiling kettle till
the next morning.
The next day was Sunday, and
after my wife had gone away to
church determined to investigate
the queer phenomena. I threw a
lot of old rags and rubbish into the
well to kind of cool off the water
and then dove down into the bottom
and brought the sputtering jar to
the surface. l took it into the house,
lest the neighbors should become to
curious. I took mite of the cheese
on the end of my pen knife and put it
in my mouth to taste it. The sensa-
tion was something indescribable.
My every fiber vibrated as if I were
in touch with thousand thunder
bolts. I instantly spat out the
cheese. I noticed that it burned
holes in the floor where it struck.
i was satisfied without further
Investigation and hastily forced the
cover on to the jar and put it away.
Il do not know what it is. 1t is
certainly something more than mat
ter. I believe that cheese has a
life-human or internal, I know not.
Strange, but is nevertheless true,
that when I have sat and looked at
that cheese through the glass cover
of the jar, it has seemed as though it
wanted to speak to me, and that is
the reason my wife will never stay
at home alone"

III But Few Days,,--Was a.
Years Old.

Patrick Hawkins, aged a. years,
died in this city last night, between
the hours of / and 2 o'clock, after an
illness of less than a week, the inn
mediate cause tof death being at
tributed to heart failure.
Mr.. Hawkins, who has been con-
ductipg the Hawkins Bros meat
market in this city, has been ailing
more or less all summer, but was
not thought to be seriously sick, so
that his sudden death was severe
shock to his many friends in this
city, very few of whom knew that
he was i'll. .. 3. -. -
Patrick Hawkins was a single man,
and is survived by two brothers, his
mother and a sister. Mike Haw-
kins, one of the brothers, lives in
this city, while ]. F. Hawkins, the
other brother, is resident of Minot,
N. D. The mother and sister live at
Brainerd. . ..-.>, Is.
Another brother of the deceased
died at Mandan, N. D., only two
weeks ago, the demise of that brother
affecting Patrick very much.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet: been complated. J. F. Haw-
kins was expected from Minot this
noon. It is very probable that the
body will be taken to Brainerd for
burial.
Patrick Hawkins was a member
of the M. B. A. lodge of this city and
the Hibernians of Brainerd.
