much praise cannot be given our
efficient force of doctors who were
there administering relief to: the
suffering and lending aid and as
sistance every minute of the time,
night and day. The doctors who
went from here are Doctors Mar.
cum, Henderson, Smith, Sanborn
and Ward. These men were the
first on the field and the situation
was we'll in hand before other doc
tors from away arrived. Under
their careful instructions the de-
bris and dead bodies of horses,
dogs, etc. were taken away and
things put into sanitary condition.
All the water used since the ar
rival of Bemidji doctors was boiled
and every precaution was taken to
prevent the spread of disease.
Doctor Markham stated that some
OF the citizens have wondered why
they did not hear from the militia
boys. He explains that the boys
cannot secure stamps in Baudette
and that they are not permitted on
Canadian soil with their uniforms
and that they had no civilian
clothes with them. If anyone wishes
to hear from them, stamps should be
enclosed in all mail sent.
Rev. S. E. P. White. was another
Bemidjite who was particularly
active at all times. He had charge
of the services of the burial of twenty
four dead, and his work was highly
praised by the authorities at the fire
zone villages.
Captain A. E. Otto. is foremost in
the work with Company K and sue
ceeded in enforcing the proclaimed
Marshall law to the letter. He
ordered all the saloons closed in
both villages. William Russell, one
of the youngest members of the CON-
pany made the first arrest and lowed
in the first prisoner. No robberies
were committed nor was there much
if any looting done either before or
after the arrival of the. militia men.
To International Fails and
Winnipeg special credit is due for
the prompt relief and assistance
given to the refugees. Every
home in International Falls was
thrown open to the suffering and
a cash fund of over $500 was
raised. ~ z.s@.
Winnipeg sent over $4,000 worth
of supplies in the way of tents, blan-
kets, provisions etc. The Eaton
store at Winnipeg alone responded
to wire for supplies with 80 nine
by twelve tents and hundreds of
heavy blankets.
What seems to be needed mostly
is good heavy clothing, lumber and
money, said the doctor.

LONDON, October 20, 1910.
The MARQUIS de Several, who so long
has been Portuguese minister in London.
and was for years the friend and boon
companion of King Edward, has antici-
pated dismissal by the new republic by
notifying the. provisional government in
Lisbon that he considers his mission to
the court CT St. James at an end. His
latest efforts, and these taken on his own
initiative, have done much to preserve
the property rights Of King Manuel and
the Portuguese royal family. and it can
now be stated that a large amount OF
money and valuables was lodged IN Eng
lish hands only few days before the
outbreak Of the revolution. AS TO whether
any of the kings property can be or Will

.DEPOSED PRIEST
IS NOW SUED BY
HIS PENSIONERS
Two Claims Filed Against
Him, One for $4,000, the
Other for 81, 200.

Rev. Ignatius Kruzynski. the depos-
ed pastor Of the Polish Catholic
church OF the Holy Rosary in Stam-
ford, who yesterday was released from
custody on bail Of $4,000, being held
for the embezzlement of funds amount
ing to $4,000 entrusted to him by a
number of his parishioners, has been
served with two civil suits, one for
81 200 and the other for $4,000 by diff
ferent members Of his flock, who seek
to have their money returned.
In the suit for $1,000 Felixa and
Agnieska Sroka claim that reposing
great confidence and trust in their
former pastor, they entrusted to him
81, 500 Of their funds with the belief
that their money was to be used for
church and school purposes. Instead
they claim the priest converted the
funds to his own use. purchasing
Stamford real estate. To check legal
-~~osecution the property was pur-
chased in the name Of August Ferry
vansierski. who is also named as a
defendant.
The suit for $1,000 is brought by
Kazumierzi and Anna Naworal, Of
Stamford who gave 5000 to their pas
tor between Aug. 26. 1906 and Oct. q.
1910. Father Kruzynski purchased real
estate with the funds In the name OF

F|SCHER'S final
ANSWER SHOULD
COME THIS WEEK
Garbage Contractors Coun-
sci Expects Definite State
nent by Saturday
Attorney Marsh Confers
with Client to Learn Just
What Concessions He De-
mands.

Attorney Arthur NJ. Marsh has in
formed City Attorney Thomas NJ. Gull
Imam that before the week ends, he
will be in position to deliver a mes
sage from Charles F. Fischer, the
prospective garbage contractor, of
York, Pa, in which Mr.. Fischer will
outline just what concessions he wants
from the Board of Health before he
and his assoc ates assume the obliga-
tons of the garbage contract.
Fischer has not yet posted the &c.
600 bond required in the contract, and
unless he secures the concessions un-
der consideration. he will forfeit his
$1,000 guarantee deposit. rather than
go ahead with the contract.
Attorneys Marsh and Cul11inan held
a conference yesterday, the upshot of
which was Mr.. Marsh's communicating
with Mr.. Fischer asking just what he
will do on the garbage proposition. He
assured Mr.. Cullinan today that be-
fore Saturday he will be in q position
to deliver Fischer's ultimatum.
The Board OF Health as at present
constituted. ceases to exist Saturday,
the last Of the year, and two new
commissioners will supplant DR.. George
Eugene Ober, the President, and Com
m gsioner Lawson, whose two year
terms expire. If final action is not
taken before the end Of the week,
the whole matter will fall into the
hands Of the new board. Commission
ers Osborne and Bogart will be the
hold-over commissioners. The Mayor
has not yet indicated his choice for
new members.
The contract contains the most vi
tai features in paragraph 16 which
provides very easily accessible reme-
dies for aggrieved persons who may
be able to show that the garbage
would have the paragraph modified so
that only a property owner could in
stitute action against the contractor
on the ground that he is maintaining
nuisance, and would have further
modification made that would permit
a new location Of the plant before the
contract Is declared broken.
