BETTER THAN DRIVING A HOG

The handiest little contraptIon We
have is for moving a hog or pig from
ono place to another. II is common

ing cultivator. The arch has TO be
raised near the opposite end from the
open one, so that when that end is
resting on the ground the slant Is not
too steep for the hog to walk onto. IL
IS easy to get a hog into this, as he
thinks he is going to walk through. and
With two handles on the exit end II IS
not difficult TO wheel q hog where

Cutler Quite a Wrestler.

A telegram from Chicago to the
St. Paul Pioneer Press states that
Frank Gotch, the champion heavy
weight wrestler Of the world, failed
Monday night in Chicago to throw
Charles Cutler once in fifteen
minutes.
Cutler was a few years ago a
policeman at Tenstrike, and after.
wards gained considerable local fame
as heavyweight pugilist, fighting a
draw at Cass Lake with the Kerry
Kid" and getting the worst of the
referees decision. Cutler travelled
with the John L. Sullivan company
two seasons, and Sullivan touted
Cutler as a coming world heater, but
Jim Barry gave Cutler an awful lick
ing and the latter hasn't been heard
of much since as a fighter. Barry,
by the way, is brother of Joe
Rogers, a one-time lumberjack of
this region, who was some fighter
when it came to rough house"
tactics.

Benner Appointed PatroIman.

Mayor Pogue announces that he
has appointed Allen Benner as a
member Of the police force, to act as
night patrolman, succeeding Garry
Brennan, the appointment being
made by Mayor Pogue in fulfilling
his promise to the council to replace
Brennan.
In making the appointment,
Mayor Pogue said:
The appointment Of Benner is
final in filling out the full complement
of policemen Of the City of Bem1dji.
With Chief Knox, George Denley
and Allen Benner l believe Bemidji
will have an excellent force of men
who are capable of handling the
affairs of the city except in extraor-
binary cases.
nope tnat the Appointment OF
Benner will give satisfaction to the
members Of the council and the
people Of the city, generally. He
has been resident of Bemidji for
about ten years past, and although
he has never held public office here
he is a straightforward, fearless
fellow who will undoubtedly make a
good policeman

appointment of Benner is to take
effect as soon as that gentleman
concludes his services with the grand
jury, which body expects to adjourn
any day now.

Charge Against Nelson.

The crime of which Barnard An
drew Nelson stands accused is the
killing of Morris Fuller (murder in
the first degree), which crime is
charged with having been committed
at Fowlds, Beltrami county, on the
morning of January 3rd, last.
Morris Fuller sometimes called
"Blackie") was a resident of Wadena
and was working in the logging
camps near Fowlds at the time he
was killed, January 3.
Fuller was shot and instantly
killed, while walking with a compan-
ion and a party whom they met while
on the railroad track near Fowlds.
Archie Brown, who was with
Fuller when ne was shot, and Barn.
ard Nelson, whom Brown claimed
was the man they met on the rail-
road track, were taken into custody
after the killing of Fuller.
At the coroner's inquest, held to
determine the cause of the death of
Fuller, it was alleged that Fuller and
Brown were walking along the track
at Fowlds, when they met a man
whom Brown asserted was Barnard
Nelson, who lives near Fowlds. Ac-
cording to the statements given at
the inquest, all three turned in their
tracks and started back to Fowlds
to get drink, with the man said to
be Nelson leading.
The testimony adduced at the in
quest tended to show that Fuller
said he was going to see who the
man ahead was and touched him up
on the shoulder, at the time asking
whats your hurry?"
Brown is said to have afterwards
said that the man in the lead sud-
denly turned and fired a revolver
shot full at Fuller, inhicting wound
from which Fuller died almost
instantly.
The result of the case apparently
hinges on the positive Identification
of Nelson as the man who was with

a splendid writer. Later Henry
went to work in the government
printing Office at Washington, leav-
ing there on account Of poor health,
tuberculosis of the throat fastening
itself upon him ard he being unable
to shake off the disease, although he
spent much time. in Arizona and
other points in search of relief.
A peculiar feature of the death of
the young man was the fact that yes
terday was the 10Th anniversary Of
Henry's birthday.

STEVENSON VOTED FOR
CANNON FOR GOOD REASON
Congressman from Ninth District Was Among the Lead
ing Insurgents Who Fought the Adoption of
the Cannon Rules in House,

Crookston Times: During the
campaign last fall Congressman
Halvor STEVENSON refused to state
that he would not support Speaker
Cannon for a reelection, in order to
get votes, but many of his friends
who knew the congressman and his
sentiments declared that he would
not be for the present speaker in the
party caucus and their statements
were verified last Saturday night,
when his vote was found to be in
favor of another man fer the high
position.
According to the reports received
when it came time to nominate a
speaker for the coming congress,
Cannon was placed in nomination.
AS soon as this was done, Congress-
man Stevenson presented the name
of Congressman James Tawney and
in an eloquent speech pointed out
the reasons why his nominee should
be the party's choice. He plainly
stated that Mr.. Tawney would be
the peer of any man who could be
selected and his ability could not be
called into question. He would
make both an able and a brilliant
presiding officer for the house and
he believed the caucus should accept
his candidacy.
Other members OF congress were
placed before the party, but the
great majority of the republican
members of congress had made up
their minds to reflect Cannon and
it was almost useless to make a
fight. When the vote was taken
it was seen that the speaker had
been reelected by a safe majority
and there was nothing left for. the
others to do but to fall in line as
far as the speakership was concerned

The trying of the jurors proceeded
rather monotoniously and the fore.
noon was devoid of any especial
interest, it looking as if the entire
day would be consumed in getting a
jury, with prospects of extending
we'll into tomorrow before the case
could be placed on tria.
At the afternoon session of court,
the balance of the special venire of
jurymen was exhausted, two jurors
being secured for the Nelson trial,
they being Charles Nangle and O..
E. Jackson, both merchants of Be-
midi.
A special yenire was ordered for
ten more jurymen, and court was
adjourned until 4 o'clock this after
noon, pending the returning of the
venire.
Just prior to adjournment until
4 p. M, the grand jury made a re-
port, returning eight indictments,
the names of the persons against
whom the true bills were returned
not being given out to the public
because the parties had not yet been
arrested.

and then to make their fight on the
rules.
The fight made upon the speaker
had some effect, however, and
resulted in the party winning the
right to select the members of the
committee on rules.
Speaker Cannon agreed to allow
the party to select the members
of this important committee and
this will to great degree meet the
requirements of the insurgents and
will undoubtedly result in rules
being adopted which will give the
members of the house much greater
power.
The fight made by Congressman
Stevenson will demonstrate that
the power of the speaker is not so
absolute as it was thought to be and
in wrestling the appointment of
the committee of rules from him a
step forward has been taken.
A special telegram from Washing
ton to the Duluth News Tribune says
of Congressman Steenerson's action
in voting for Cannon:
The leading insurgents, like
Gardner of Massachusetts, and Steen-
erson of Minnesota, who have been
foremost in opposition to the old
rules of the house, voted for Cannon
and justified their action by declar-
ing that before this session of con-
gress ended there would be SUBJ
stantial modification Of the rules.
That this view of the situation
will prove correct was manifested on
the vote to amend present rules. when
several members who voted for Can
non, also voted against the old
house leaders to modify. the rules,
thus showing that the sentiment of
parliamentary reform is strong and
bound to continue y

The court room was fairly well
crowded today with people who are
anxious to hear the trial of the case
of the State VS.. Barnard Andrew
Nelson, who is charged with having
killed Morris Fuller, near Fowlds, on
the 3rd day of January, 1909.
The trial of Nelson's case was
taken up this morning, County
Attorney Chester McKusick prose-
cutting and ex-County Attorney
Henry Funkley appearing for Mel
son.
The forenoon was occupied in an
attempt to secure jury. The regu-
lar venire of jurymen (twenty-fve)
was exhausted in securing three
jurors for the Nelson trial, and two
members of the special venire were
examined without gaining any furth-
er jurors for the trial.
The state used five per.emptory
challenges and the defense exercised
the same number of like challenges
in examining the jurors. 49,
The state laid especial stress on
the question as to whether the
jurors would be willing to agree
to a verdict of conviction, with a
possibility of the death penalty being
inflicted, on purely circumstantial
evidence, and several jurors were
excused because they expressed
themselves rather hesitatingly on
this question as it was put to them.
Attorneys George E. Ericsson and
c. R. Middleton of Spooner and
Baudette, respectively, and H. A..
Simons of Bemidji were appointed as
triers, and their services were requir.
ed in several instances.

High School Recognized.

That our state has succeeded In bring
ing within the grasp of every boy and
girl a college preparatory education has
been brought to immediate attention by
the recognition of the Mount Holly High
School by the University of Pennsylvania
and other institutions. In time past it
was thought that each child DESTROYS Of
attending college must first have at least
three or four years of ttaining in pre-
paratory school in order to prepare him or
her to enter college, but colleges are be-
ginning to recognize the efficient work
done in the standard high schools of our
state and parents are not now burdened
with an expense of $1,000 or more to give
their children preparatory education.
The office of the public school is not to
prepare children for college but for life;
but that which best fits q child for life
also prepares him for college and vice
versa. The self confidence and energy
acquired In mastering the high school
studies, not only fits the pupil to solve
the problems of life but lays foundation
for higher work.
Since it is possible for each and every
pupil to procure this preparation, one
would think that greater effort would be
put forth by both parents and pupils that
more might successfully complete the re-
quired high school course.
