Most Worthy Performers.

The three DeLoys, without
doubt the most talented troupe
of vaudevillists to visit our city, are
filling an engagement at the Brink
man this week. Their work is
above criticism and the soul-in-
spring songs by Myrtle hold the
audience spell-bound, her voice being
such pure, sweet and fascinating
contralto. Eddie and Tollo, comic
songsters and dancers, are the best
ever and w. F. Richardson of the
Winnebago Nursery Company says:
They are the best I've saw out
side of an Orpheum circuit aud
every one is an artist of ability"
Their sketch, "Snorky," is very
laughable and the part of the loco
motive played by Eddie creates loud
applause.

INJUNCTION SERVED ON
CITY OFFICIALS SATURDAY
Restr aiming Them from Purchasing
Supplies for Municipal Court
Hearing July 20.

Justice of the Peace M. C. Slocum,
through his attorneys, A. A.
Andrews and F. A. Jackson, has
caused to be served upon Mayor J.
P. Pogue and City Clerk Thomas
Maloy an injunction restraining
them and any of the city officers or
employees from entering into any
contract to purchase supplies fo1 the
municipal court of the city of
Bemidji; and also issuing any war
rants for salary for any of the
officers of said municipal court.
The complaint alleges that the
court is not legally established on
account of not securing the sigma
ture of Mayor Pogue: and that the
act of the city council in ordering
or directing the city clerk to
purchase supplies for said municipal
court is illegal and void for the
reasos that no municipal court has
been properly organized without
said signature.
The order was issued by court CON-
missioner M. A. Clark and is return
able before Judge c.. W. Stanton at
chambers in the city of Bemidji on
Monday, July 20, at 10 O'Clock, at
which time the court will decide the
point at issue-the legality of the
establishment of the court over the
mayors veto.
