caused in Crookston was comments
expressing satisfaction that fine
showers fell during the afternoon
and evening. Yesterday morning
scores of people tried to locate the
heavenly tramp, but very few sue
ceeded. There were few people
who were pretty much worked up
over fear of an impending calamity.
However the excitement in some of
the refreshment parlors was not out
of the ordinary during the past few
weeks, and was due to the meteoric
activity of the Anti-saloon league
and not to any heavenly body.
One lady, Mrs. Paulson, residing
in SIMPSONS addition, was so fear
full of disastrous results from the
passage of the earth through Halley's
comets tail that she kept her child.
rem home from school, and there
were few instances where families
got together through fear that they
might die separately. The weather
was cold, damp and clear as bell
after 1880 last evening but not the
slightest disturbance was experienced
in any way. +
However J. N. Kirsh and A. L.
Berkland of the Quickprint Job
Office were the victims of a practical
joke and both did some rapid fire
praying. Practical jokers got
behind their place of business
and held can filled with vile
smelling stuff, which was shoulder
ing and gave an ordor something
like a peculiar gas. The can was
so placed that it blew into their
Office through a rear window and
they began investigating. A scout
reported when they went into a
rear room to look out the back
windows, and five men from sur
rounding roofs began shooting off
roman candles, sky rockets and can
non crackers by the bale. The two
men made wild rush for the street
and it was some time before they
could be convinced that the heavenly
shower they had witnessed was a
practical joke, They were glad
when the II o'clock ordinance went
into effect as their bank accounts
were becoming depleted from pur-
chasing liquid refreshments for the
crowds of which they were the cen
ter of attraction.

The Washington dispatch has
caused considerable excitement in
Bemidji today. Several men IN
this city saw double and triple
tailed comets last night, and are
unable to account for the bad
vision of the worlds best astronom-
ers. Others are willing to swear
that they felt the effect of the
presence of the gases which
usually surround these comets,
their heads feeling light during
the period of transition, followed
BY a heavy, dull ache, with bad
taste in their mouths this morning.
If the tail has become detached
from Halley's comet and is slashing
around in space, as one of the
astronomers suggested, the Bemidji
people want to know it. If the tail
is lost, it cannot be very far away,
and local amateur astronomers are
seriously considering the calling out
of Company K, of the Minnesota
National Guard, to search for the
missing end of Halley's discovery.
Several comet parties, which had
been planned for last evening, had
to be abandoned, owing to the rain.
While none of Bemidjrs citizens
were afraid of the comet, oh no, it
was noticed that several Indian
peddlers from the Red Lake agency
disposed of a large amount of strange
pills and odd charms. which were
guaranteed as antidotes for comet
tail gas. ...-.~-.s

Special Venire Necessary to Complete
Jury in Whose Hands Paurs
Life Will Rest.
ONLY ONE SCANDINAVIAN
AMONG TWELVE JURORS
County Attorney McKusick Opens
Prosecution for State at z O'clock
This Afternoon.

Aifkin. May 10. $50 p. m.-The
jury in the Paul Fourier case was
secured at II o'clock today. the
attorneys for both the state and the
defense making splendid Roadway in
examining the venire men. Sheriff
Haugen returned special venire of
rs men at 9 o'clock this morning.
Three jurymen were accepted
yesterday and it was not until twenty
special venire men had been ques-
toned that the twelfth juror was
accepted. Only one person known
to be of Scandinavian birth has been
accepted, and all members of the
jury are farmers with the exception
of two, one being an ex-Methodist
minister and the other timber
cruiser and mine inspectors.
The jurymen who will try this
case are Preston Chapman, w.
B. Gorsuch, Colin Hyslop, James
E. Ryan, H. Brooks, B. Pedme-
court, Rev. c. S. Rattan, John
T. Packer, Andrew Magnuson, C..
M. Smith, w. A. Eastwood, Stach
Harris.
When the jury had been selec-
ted, Judge Stanton discharged all
of the special veniremen who had
not been chosen and adjourned
court until o'clock this after.

began the introduction of testi-
mony for the state.

living a considerable distance, and

Dahl and his daughter Aagot near
During, in 1904, and none being of
Scandinavian birth, were secured in
the Paul Fourier murder trial yes
terday, the entire regular petit jury
panel for this term of court in Aitkin
being exhausted. Two of the mem.
bers of the petit jury were excused,
three were rejected. C.. w. Scrutchin,
counsel for Fourier, exercised four
peremptories in excusing undesire-
able jurors and County Attorney
McKusick used one peremptory for
the state. The balance of those ex-
amined were proven to be incom-
petent for one reason or another, a
number being actually rejected for
not possessing enough knowledge of
court matters to enable them to in
telligently try case. II.
The defense showed plainly that
it desired no person of Scandi-
navian birth on-the jury, it being
evident that they feared prejudice
from Scandinavians, because of
the fact that the late N. O. Dahl
and his daughter were Norwegians.
The three jurors accepted are
bright men and are not of Scandi-
navian birth. The trying Of the
jurors for qualifications to act in
the Fourier case was of necessity
slow and tedious process, many
of the jurors not understanding
the English language sufficiently
to grasp what was wanted in fair
and impartial juror.
Judge Stanton gave to Sheriff
Haugen of Aitkin county an order
for special venire of twenty-five
new jurors, and it is hoped that
when this venire is returned Thurs
day morning that the remainder of
the jury can be secured from the
new jurors who report. A larger
portion of these men will be resi-
dents of Aitkin, while some will be
from farming district.
The grand jury made its final re-
port to the court Wednesday fore
noon, and Judge Stanton compli-
mented the jourors on their speedy
and efficient work. This jury re-
turned eleven indictments. Barney
Sullivan was charged with carnal
knowledge of a child five years, and
Twas arraigned. Sullivan was

whole baking from start to finish is com
pleted without the hands of the baker
