 Dr. Clement Ritter. one of the most popular physicians of Selma, happened to very painful accident this morn ing shortly after 12 o'clock. Dr. Rit- ter was driving in his buggy on Ala bama Street near Range Avenue, in the eastern part of the city. when the horse took fright and ran away.
 pr. Ritter was thrown from the bug gy to a ditch at the edge of the side- walk. He was carefully picked up by several who had witnessed the runaway and some of his brother physicians were telephoned for. The injured man was brought uptown to Cunningham s drug store where his injuries were later dressed.
 While the injuries which he received arc painful they are not of serious nature. In being thrown from his bug gy his back was badly wfenched and this caused him to suffer considerably. The fall also badly injured his left knee. After his injuries had been dressed Dr. Ritter was carried to his home.

returned this morning from hunt
in the vicinity of his homestead, near
Mud lake.
Uncle Jim" points with consid-
cradle pride to two fine bucks,
which he brought with him, and
which he killed this season. The
two bucks weighed 325 pounds, the
the larger of the two tipping the
scales at 205 pounds, the smaller
weighing 120. The deer was by far
the finest specimen of the deer fam
lily that has been brought in this
year.
Uncle Jim" is veteran hunts
man, and is past so years of age.
Despite his age, however, he is one
of the best hunters in the north

ATTEMPTED TO DISGUISE
HEAD OF 4 COW MOOSE
Party Ships Unlawful Game Animal to
Minneapolis from Big Falls
Fraud Discovered.

]. C. Williams, deputy game war
den at Minneapolis, yesterday r.
ported to Carlos Avery, execut i've
agent of the game and fish commits
sion, that he had seized cow moose
at the depot there.
The report stated that a crude at
tempt had been made to fool the
officials into thinking that it was a
male moose from which the horns
had been removed. Circular pieces
of the hide had been cut from each
side of the head where the horns
would have been had it been a
male, but an examination of the
skull uncovered by the removed skin
showed clearly that there never were
any horns on that animal.
AS it is against the law to kill a
cow moose it has been confscated
by the warden.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
A. G. Rutledge, local game war
den, discovered the moose above
referred to while it was being
shipped through this city to Mime.
apolis, from Big Falls. The warden
was suspicious of the manner in
which the abrasions were made in
the skull and reported to MI. Avery
by telephone, and Mr.. Avery ordered
Williams to investigate when the
moose arrived at it's destination in
Minneapolis.
1t is more than likely that the
person who is responsible for the
scheme of palming off the COW moose
for bull will be prosecuted. The
animal was billed to D. Stinson

ELK MEMORIAL SERVICES

ArchdeacOn Parsha|l, Prominent Mem.
ber of Order, Will Deliver Memoir
iaI Address at City Hall.

Bemidji Lodge, No. 1852, B. P.
O. E., is completing arrangements to
hold appropriate services in this city
Sunday next, which is known as
Memorial Day in the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks. 1t is
the intention of the Elks to meet in
the Masonic hall at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. After marching to the
city hall, the services will be held at
3:45.
1t is expected that a number of
Elks who live at Deer River and
other points east will come to
Bemidji to attend these services.
They will arrive at $3.50 p. M, and
come from the depot to the city hall,
where the services will be held.
Archdeacon Parshall of Cass
Lake, prominent Elk, will have
charge of the services and deliver
the memorial sermon. The arch
deacon is a member of the St. Cloud
lodge of Elks, and has received
many honors at the hands of the
Elks. He is splendid speaker, and
his address will be worth listening
to.
There will be appropriate singing
at the service.

All of the horses, cattle and bug

were taken out of the building and
saved from the flames, but many
tons of hay and a number of valuable
articles which we're. on the second

flelc cely did the flames rage that

several of the nearby buildings were
in danger, among which was the
Great Northern depot, which caught
fire three or four times, but the
flames were extinguished before they
got beyond control.
A. B, Palmer, the owner of the
barn, places the loss at 1900.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The failure of the fire engine to
work is almost an exact repetition
of the conditions which prevailed
two years ago, when there was fire
which destroyed an entire block of
buildings. The fire engine being
used at that time was out of com
mission and was destroyed. in the
