INQUEST HELD IN
LONELY BUNGALOW
Evidence Throws No Light on
Murder Of Mrs. WoodI|L

st. Mtchaels, Md, June 29.-The
coroners inquest into the death OF
Mrs. Edith May Woodill was resumed
In the lonely bungalow Of Robert e.
Eastman, where the murder was com.
mitted, and within sight of his grave
After hearing. three witnesses, who
gave interesting testimony but devel
oped nothing to materially change the
complexion of the strange case, the
jury adjourned to go to Mcdaniel
where additional testimony is being
taken. -.
William Sutton, who went to the
shack to ask Eastman to attend a re-
ligious meeting, definitely fixed the
time of his visit as Sunday afternoon
between S and o'clock. This also
definitely fixes the time of the; murder
as occurring on Sunday night. Sutton
swore positively that he heard Mrs
Woodill's voice. It was conversational
In tone and there was nothing to indi.
cate that she and Eastman were or
had been engaged in quarrel.
George Powell, second witness,
testified that he spent all day Sunday
at Sutton's farm, within view of the
bungalow, and that he saw no one go
near the shack that day. Powell said
he met Eastman on Wednesday in
front of the bungalow and that for
the first time in their acquaintance
Eastman did not ask him to come in.
Mrs. Eastman, widow of the suicide,
came to St. Michaels to claim the
money and property of her late hus,
band. In absence of proof of her we'd
ding the authorities would not give
the property up.

A Violin For q vane:

One of the most curious vanes to be
seen on any church in Great Britain
Is that at Great Gonerby, a parish ad-
Joining Grantham, in Lincolnshire.
It is in the form of a fiddle and
a. bow and is unusually large. Its
history is curious one. Many years
ago peasant resided in Great Goner-
by, who eked out a modest livelihood
by performing on an old violin, which
was almost part of his life. At last
he decided to emigrate and out In the
far west prospered and became a rich
man. One day he sent to the clergy
man at Great Gonerby a sum suf1-
Gent to build a church and attached
to the gift the curious condition that
metal replica OF his old fiddle and
bow should be on the summit of the
edi1ce. The gift was accepted, and

EVERYBODY GET READY
Not a National But Popular Holiday.

Heretofore the 4th of July, Christ
mas and Washington's Birthday
have been the popular occasions
of general demonstration in our city,
but this year there is to be an
innovation, and the hiltrity, interest
and public enthusiasm usually en-
genered by these three great holi-
days will be merged into the proper
celebration of the day at Bemidji.
On this day Gollmar Bros monster
trains of double lengthed cars will
bring to us the Greatest of American
Shows, Circus, Museum, Million
dollar Menagerie and Hippodrome.
This great amusement establishment
has in the past received the un-
qualified endorsement of the press,
and this year, new and enlarged in
equipment and detail, is conceded
to be the most magnificent exhibition
of circus enterprise in the world.
Newspapers along the route of the
great show speak in enthusiastic
language of the gorgeously magnif-
cent free street parade, with its 10
different kinds of music, hosts of
gentleman and lady riders, armies of
blooded horses and retinue of beauti-
full chariots. Acres of white tents
cover the splendid shows. Don't

ARMSTRONG CAFE WILL
HANDLE A DAIRY LUNCH
Method of Serving Patrons Will Be
Changed, Wednesday, at the
Popular Restaurant.
From Mondays Daily.

The Armstrong Cafe, which has
heretofore been conducted as a
regulation restaurant, with the meals.
at-all-hours plan predominating, will
be run on different plan, beginning
with Wednesday morning, when Mr..
Armstrong will inaugurate what he
calls his Dairy Lunch" This
method of handling lunch counters
is in general vogue throughout the
Eastern cities, and Mr.. Armstrong
believes that the new scheme of
handling meals will become popular
in Bemidji.
The regular dinner and supper
bills will be discontinued and every.
thing will be served as per order.
Everything ordered will be placed
on the counters and each guest will
wait on himself or herself. This
method will give much better ser.
vice, and the orders will be much
more satisfactory.
Mr.. Armstrong is spending con.
siderable time and money renovating
and remodeling the interior of his
place of business prior to changing
the method of handling business,
The main portion of the lunch room
is being provided with new counters,
chairs and tables, some of the latter
being reserved exclusively for the
lady patrons of the lunch room.
In the kitchen, Mr.. Armstrong
has installed a large new exhaust
. fan, which is costing in the neighor.
hood of $50. This is supplied with
proper flues in the ceiling which
takes off the surplus heat, smoke and
flies, making the kitchen comfort.
able and exceptionally free from any
sort of insects or excessive heat.
Under the new arrangement the
very best menu will be given patrons
and the service will be improved, al
the same time doing away with the
HEAVIER meals-you get just what
you want, and in good time. ~.
The Dairy Lunch will be pre-
pared to at all times furnish special
bills, in season.

ing Barns.
Pittsburg, June 29.-With business
paralyzed to partial extent, with in
adequate train service, with the resi-
dents already becoming annoyed over
the interruption of traffic. conditions
Greater Pittsburg entered into the
second day Of it's street car strike with
none too pleasant feelings.
Rioting, it is predicted, will imme-
diately follow an attempt by the car
company to operate cars. .-
The outlying car barns have taken
the authorities attention from the
down town districts. Special deputy
sheriffs and extra police remained on
duty all night at the outlying barns.
The feeling of the union men and
their sympathizers was evidenced
when a crowd of over 500 persons
gathered within half an hour at the
Heron hill car barns upon hearing a
rumor that the company would en-
deavor to take out car. A patrol
wagonload of police dispersed the
gathering. II
The saloons remain open. Director
OF the Department of Public Safety
John NORM stated that he saw no rea-
son to close orderly places unless the
situation becomes more tense.
The entire police force of Greater
Pittsburg is being held in reserve at
their precinct stations.
Queer equipages hauled the office
employees of down town Pittsburg to
work. Many large concerns have en-
gagged rooms for their clerical forces
at down town hotels for the week.
"strike Prices" Prohibited.
Rates for wagon and automobile
transportation have not as yet been
advanced beyond reasonable limita-
tons. The police say they will not
permit strike prices to prevail
among draymen or public conveyance
companies
Thirty thousand dollars day is
the estimated loss sustained by the
Pittsburg company by reason of the
strike.
The grievances of the union men
include charges of discrimination
against union employees. The strikers
demand hearings for discharged men;
longer luncheon time; installation of
bulletin boards in car barns announc-
ing layoff and shorter runs.
The first real violence in the car
strike situation occurred when four
teen alleged strikebreakers were
chased away from the Rankin car
barns by union sympathizers. A fusiL
lade of shots greeted the strikebreak-
ers as they emerged from the barns.
County Detective John Englert was
badly beaten by the crowd at the en-
trance of the barns. Men from a
nearby manufacturing plant chased
the strikebreakers for more than a
mile.
