MAURICE WHITING WROTE
SPLENDID PRIZE STORY.
TweIve-Year.0ld Son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Whiting Recognized BY the
Human Life"

Human Life,'' a popular maya
zine, recently printed a story written
by Maurice E. Whiting, the little son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Whiting of
this city. s., /.
The title of this story was Moose
Point" and the editors Of Human
Life" awarded Maurice a prize Of
81 for the excellence of his story.
The story was as follows:
There are many small lakes in
northern Minnesota. One time
there was man crossing one Of
these in boat with his little girl.
He stopped at a place on the
shore and went back into the woods
to hunt, leaving his little girl alone
in the boat.
After while a moose came out
into the water and went near the
boat without noticing the little girl.
Somehow he became tangled up in
the rope and began thrashisg around
in the water. At last he plunged
madly out towards the open lake
towing the boat behind him.
The little girl was very much
frightened and her screams only
terrified the animal the more.

He also stated that the 1908 taxes
contained something over $4,000
descriptions of real estate; that as
the taxes were all made out, it was
necessary for him to search every
copy of the tax Judgment record for
years back; that in searching these
back records he had found great
many duplicates as we'll as a number
of omissions and that it required
considerable hard work and that the
time for doing this was short.
In his testimony Mr.. Wiimann
S: =ted that the law allowed him for
clerck Tire about $1,000 and that
this amount was totally inadequate
for the work required in Beltrami

his famous Kiltie bagpipe band
and dancers have been engaged for
the day and they will entertain the
crowd with some lively music and
dancing.
The Bemidji band of fourteen
pieces has been engaged to play at
the picnic and will assist in en-
liveneing the occasion.
The committee has also arranged
for anumber of sports which will
include 100-yard dash, a ladies'
race, jumping contest, tossing the
caber. .. .~~.5~. .-...
There will also be a quoit.pitch-
ing contest which will be conducted
during the day. = w.
In addition to the small sports
there will beaCaledonian tug-of-war,
between two teams of four men on
each side. ~.-.- ..-..... --.
Boats will be in service from
early in the morning of the day of
the picnic until late at night for
the purpose of taking the pic
nickers from the city across to the
outlet and back; this service will
be free to those who have tickets
and badges.
/ The first boat will leave the city
dock at o'clock in the morning.
During the. day an elaborate
repast will be served to all those in
attendance at the picnic and special
plans are being carried out to make
this one of the greatest outdoor
spreads ever gotten up in this VIC
unity. ,~-
At the conclusion of the repast,
and when the inner man" has been
sufficiently replenished, it is expected
that there will be impromptu vocal
quartets, sextets and octets, which
will render some Scotch airs with
vim which only Scotch descendants
can give them. ~.
While the picnic is designated as
a Scotch" picnic, no one is barre d
from participating in the affair, and
it is expected that large crowd
will attend.

y On they went till they reached a
point of land on the opposite shore.
There the moose freed himself
and ran away, leaving the little girl
moored on the bank.
When her father came out where
they first landed and foun d no boat
he was greatly surprised. But on
looking across the lake he saw his
little daughter safe in the boat. He
soon reached her by walking around.
which was only a short distance, and
as he rowed the boat home she told
him of her strange adventure.
He named the point in the lake
Moose Point, by which it has been
known ever since.

REMAINS OF JACOB FUNK
BURIED IN GREENWOOD
Was Accidentally Drowned, Wednesday,
While Riding in Gasoline Launch
on Mud Lake.

The body of Jacob Funk, who was
drowned on Mud lake Wednesday
morning, was buried in Greenwood
cemetery this morning, a large num-
Der of friends of the deceased being
present at the funeral.
Funeral services were held in St.
Philips Catholic church, Father
Benedict Smith officiating.
The body of Funk was brought to
this city yesterday afternoon and
prepared for burial. Coroner Ibert-
son, who visited the home of Funk
and viewed the body shortly after it
was removed from the lake, deemed
it unnecessary to hold an inquest.
It appears that Funk was return
ing to his home from trip to Pu-
posky and had nearly reached the
landing when, in some manner, he
fell out of the boat, sinking to the
bottom of the lake, which is covered
with rushes and deep mud. Funk
could not extricate himself and per-
ished without rising to the surface.
Mrs: Funk was looking out of the
window when Jake was coming
across the lake and noticed him in
the boat. She looked again few
minutes afterwards and the boat was
running wild without any occupant.
