Dublin, March 18.-Tommy
Burns, the American heavyweight
champion, made short work of Jem
Roche, the Irish champion, in
their contest last evening at the
Theatre Royal, for the worlds
heavyweight championship. Prac.
tically only one blow was struck.
Burns knocked Roche out when
hardly more than minute of the

great crowd which filled the theatre
in expectation of seeing the Irish

Stating he believed that Harry
Orchard, in his testimony in the
trials of William D. Haywood and
George A. Pettibone for the murder
of Ex-Governor Frank Stueneberg
told the exact truth, attempting to
conceal nothing, Judge Fremont
Wood, in district court today,
recommended that the state board
OF pardons commute Orchards SEN
ence of death to Imprisonment in
the state penitentiary. The sentence
of death was pronounced in accord
ance with the plea of guilty entered
by Orchard Tuesday of last week,
when arraigned.

Three Insane Subjects.

John Johnson, who claims that
his residence is Duluth was yester.
day committed to the insane asylum
at Fergus Falls, the insanity board
of Beltrami county having pro.
nounced him insane. Johnson has
been stopping at the Lakeside hotel
for some time past and recently
possessed of the idea that he was a
man of much means; that he had
several millions in the old country
and was now at the present time,
rolling in wealth here, and that he
was possessed of many hundreds of
acres of land in New York Mills,
this state. AS the gentleman was
not addicted to the use of intoxicat-
ing liquors, he was taken into
custody as being mentally un-
balanced and was brought before
the insane board. Deputy Sheriff
Arne Solberg took Johnson to Fergus
Falls yesterday afternoon.
Edward Guyer of Ashland, Wis,
who was picked up in the city a
fewweeks ago, is being held, by
order from Probate Judge Clark, to
await the action of the state board
of control as to what finding will be
made by that board relative to
Guyer's mental condition. Guyer
has been seeing several kinds of
things lately, principally reptiles
and beasts of prey, probably
brought on by an indiscreet famili-
aritywith .the flowing bowl. On
account of Guyer being a non-resi-
dent of the state the board of con-
troll must pass on his case, and will
probably pronounce Guyer insane,
according to the recommendation
of Judge Clark.
This forenoon Judge Clark re-
ceived a telephone message from
Thief River Falls requesting the
sheriff to come to that place and
take into custody Charles Johnson,
a resident of the Town of Benville,
Beltrami county, who was bugs. "
Johnson will be brought to Bemidji
and taken before the board of in.

Believing that the result of the
recent election held in this city to
vote on the proposition for bonding
the Independent School District oil
Bemidji in the sum of $4,000 for
the purchase of a site for a new
school house and the erection of a
school building thereon was not the
true sentiment of all of the legal
voters of the district, a number of
the heaviest taxpayers in the dis
trict petitioned Graham M. Tor.
rance, clerk of the school district, to
call another election for the purpose
of again voting on the proposition.
Pursuant to this petition, Mr..
Torrance has issued a notice for an
election to be held on Friday, March
27, at 4 o'clock p. m, when the
voters will again be given an op-
portunity of voting for or against
the purchasing of the proposed site
and the erection of the building.
At the election held on the 18th
inst. there were but 436 votes cast,
2s8 being in favor of the proposition
and 148 against, making ballots of
being two-thirds majority in favor of
the proposition.
It is certain that not half of those
legally entitled to vote participated
in the election and it is for the
purpose of getting the opinion of
all of the voters on the subject
that the proposition is again sub
mitted.
At the recent city election over
800 votes were cast, being twice
the number who voted at the school
election. When it is taken into
consideration that only the male
population of the city voted at the
city election and that qualified
voters among the ladies are entitled
to cast their ballot at this election.
the total number that are entitled
to vote should be CONSIDERABLY
over 800.
In order that all may fully under
stand the proposition as submitted to
the voters, we are publishing the
notice of election on another page
of this issue and have also embraced
it as part of this article.

TO AFFECT ALL GOULD LINES
Machinists and BoiIermakers
on Rio Grande Out.

Denver, March 1..-Fifteen hundred
machinists, boilermakers and mem
bers of kindred trades, working in the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad shops,
have struck in response to an order
issued by w. J. McQueeney, repre-
senting the machinists' national organ
ization, after a final conference at
which Manager A. W." Ridgeway of
the railroad refused any concessions.
1.-THE strike will ultimately spread
to every road in the Gould system and
affect roads all over the United
States" said McQueeney. There is
every indication that the struggle will
be a long one and fought hard by
both Sides"
The strike is the result Of an order
posted by the road month ago abro-
eating all contracts with the unions.
Since that time numerous conferences
have been held between the men and
the company, but it was impossible to
reach an agreement.

CHARLES WINGREN IS
RELEASED ON PAROLE.
Man Who Shot Neighbor, Mistaking
Him for Moose, Liberated by
Pardon Board.

St. Paul, March 1S.-Justice
moved quickly both ways in the
case of Charles Wingren, who acct
dentally killed Peter Larson in the
woods near Rapid River, Kooch-
iching county, a week ago Monday.
Wingren mistook Larson for moose
while hunting with neighbor and
fatally wounded him. Wingren and
his hunting companion Immediately
carried Larson, with whom they
were well acquainted, to the nearest
house and sent a messenger to
Baudette for physician.
Larson exonerated Wingren of all
wilful intent to shoot him. He in
structed Wingren as to the DISPOSE.
ton to be made of $125 on his per.
son at the time of the shooting, and
as the end drew near asked him to
pray for him.
After Larson's death Wingren went
to International Falls, seventy-fve
miles away, and surrendered to the
sheriff, making clean breast of
what had happened. His statement
was borne out by the man with
him at the time of the shooting.
Wingren was Immediately CON-
mitted to the reformatory. On
petition of G. w. Stanton, county
attorney of Koochiching county,
by Judge w. S. McClenahan, who
imposed sentence; the board of par
dons Monday paroled Wingren, who
was shown to have wife and seven
children dependent on him for their
living.
Judge McClenahan, said the only
thing against Wingren which weigh
ed against him was that he was
moose hunting in the closed season.
But the fact that he was then seek
ing to provide meat for his family
was an extenuating circumstance.
Wingren passed through the city
last evening on his way to Black
duck. He was taken from the St.
Cloud reformatory yesterday by
Sheriff P. A. Walsh of Kooehiching
county, who came to St. Paul, i'm
mediately after the board of pardons
had issued the order placing Win
gren on parole.
Wingren was greatly pleased at
the action of the board of pardons
and was very grateful to C. w. Stan
ton, county attorney of Koochiching
country, who made plea to the
board in behalf of Wingren. The
paroled man states that he will never
again hunt of season, and will use
extra care in noting what he is
shooting at, hereafter.
