said. when he heard other shots. and.
turning ound he saw his playmate fall
to the snow.
After that, he said. he could not see any
more. He described the man who shot
him as peanut man, which the police
interpret to mean that he was either
Italian or Greek. The boys said he wore
his knees, a SLOUGH hat and that The had

The alternative theory that both Robert

who was fatally shot, were the victims Of
a plot by victims of the SHIRLEY family.
On this theory young Tomas Is sup

Murderer Described.
The description of the murderer flashed
throughout the city and Westchester
county within two hours after the police
had learned Of the crime was that of
man thirty-five years old. bewhiskered
wearing short tan overcoat and a siouch
hat. He was said to be five feet seven
inches in height
1t was half an hour after Arthur Shib-
ley had rushed into the apartment on the
third floor OF No. 434 West l64th street

also lives. and told his mother that he
was shot before the body Of his playmate
was found.
Despite the fact that bullet had
passed through his abdomen and he was
suffering from shock and fright, Arthur
SHIRLEY was able to climb the steep en-
bankment and run to his home before he
tainted In his mothers arms after he
had told portion OF his story.
There he remained unconscious until a
physician revived him. when he told that
his playmate also had been shot. Police

There they played together for nearly
an hour. Mrs. Shibley meanwhile had
turned to her duties in the care OF her
other children. Edith, five years old;
Nestor, an adopted son, four, and baby
girl two. On her way to do some shop
ping Mrs. Tomas had stopped at her
friends door and left in the care of Mrs.

Mrs SHIRLEY rushed to the window

door of the apartment house Then she

..Oh, mamma, mamma, man shot me!
4 man shot me.'
The Wounded Boy.
The janitress hurried to No. 454 West
164th street and brought back with her
DR.. John n. Williams. The latter hastily
examined the boy and found he had been
shot. the bullet entering his body two
inches below his heart.
DR.. Williams sent the janitress to notify
the police by telephone. while he restored
the boy to consciousness.
The little boy chung to his mother and
wept. He repeated that mam had shot
him and after several minutes told the
physician and Mrs. SHIRLEY that Robert
also had been shot.
"He couldn't run away. mamma. Rob-

AS the jantress then started for the
street once more she met Mrs. Tomas
and also Policeman Piser, who was rum

outdistanced by the policeman. ran to
the park entrance at 10th street.
On the knoll Mrs. Tomas and the jani-
tress found the policeman bending over

Fire IN Refrigerator Car.

This forenoon, a fire was started
in a refrigerator car which was
standing on the tracks near the

indication that the car might be
destroyed, an alarm was turned
in and the department responded.
The car was run under the spout of

water turned onto the car, the fire
being extinguished before doing
much damage.

Third ward could not do better
than to unanimously support Mr..

Mr.. Roe came to Be midi nine

Mr.. McQuaig as the unanimous
choice of the citizens of Bemidji
as the chief executive.
William McQuaig has been a
resident of Bemidji during the
past ten years. He served as a
member of the village council for
two terms, prior to the adoption of
the city charter, but would not
again be candidate for a member
of the council.
Mr.. McCuaig has always been
prominent in matters of public
interest in the city, and being a
heavy taxpayer and prominent
business man he would, If elected,
undoubtedly give the city
splendid business administration.
1t is hoped that the agreement
to unanimously support Mr.. Nc.
Cuaig will be adhered to, and
that the "torrid" municipal fights
of previous years will not be re-

The annual election of city

will be held on February IS; and
there has been some political
"sparing" and maneuvers to
decide on who would be the best
person to proport candidate for

Several good men have been
mentioned; but during the past
few days an understanding has
besn reached whereby it is sug-
gested that William McCuaig be
unopposed as a candidate for
mayor for the City of Bemidji for
the year 1910.
This suggestion has met with
the outspoken approval of both
factions which have, in former mu-

posed each other; and there is
every hope that there will be a
general rallying to the support of

Supt Richie Furnishes Pioneer With List of Names of
Diligent Students. Should Examine List
and Help Make Larger.

The Pioneer gives herewith re-
port, submitted by Prof. Richie,
superintendent of the Bemidji
schools, wherein is given the names
of all scholars who have been neither
tardy or absent; and the list of
scholars who were neither tardy or
absent during the month of Decem-
Der; and the list is a good one. There
is some incentive to not being tardy
or absent, the scholars who are per-
feet in attendance being given a
quarter-day holiday for their dill
gence. And this should be en-
couraged, as the practice of being
prompt will follow the pupils all
through life and have much to do
with their habits. Instil into the
minds of your children a desire to
be always prompt and steady in
their attendance at school.-Editor.
