Coroner Declares Article in Weekly

REPORTS JURORS TO JUDGE
Presents Names of Men Who Sough t
Own Selection-Objects to
Published lnsinuations.

The Pioneer prints the following
communication from Coroner M. E.
Ibertson without comment and solely
upon his own responsibility:
Editor Pioneer:
In view of the fact that the Be-
midi Sentinel, in its last issue, de-
livered itself of a scurrilous article
concerning my summoning of jurors
in the case of Akerberg against
Mayo, and strongly intimated that l
summoned jurors who were unfair to
the defendant, and in view of the
fact that you have also published an
article on this case that might be un-
derstood as rejecting upon me in
the performance of my duties, wish
to explain through your columns the
true facts in this matter.
In the first place the Sentinel
openly states that selected jurors
with the assistance of Arthur Aker.
berg. Such a statement is false;
An affidavit of prejudice against
Sheriff Hazen was filed by the plain
tiff in this case, and l was thereupon
appointed to select jurors by virtue
of my Office as coroner. / had
never had experience in such matters,
and believed at the time I received
my appointment, and do now be-
lieve, that it was my duty to select,
as jurors. men who were intelligent
and honest. With this view select
ed the following named men as jury
men.
Christ Markusen, Bemidji. a
member of the firm of Roe &
Markusen.
Fred Baumgardner, Lineman for
N. w. Telephone Co., Bemidji.
%. C. Rood, Bemidji, member of
firm of O. C. Rood & Co.
August Jarchow, farmer, Town of
Bemidji.
y. F. Collins, farmer, Grant Val
ley.
~ Heath, farmer, Grant Valley.
George Smith, Bemidj, Custo-
dian City Library.
A. l.. Holden, Bemidji Minister.
H. A. Whitney, Bemidji employe
of Gill Bros.
I submit to the people of this
county whether the selection of the
above men is a matter for which |
should be criticised. If, upon ex.
animation in court, it developed that
these men had formed opinions re.
garding the case or were acquaint
ances of the plaintiff or the defend.
ant, see no reason for criticisine
me on that account. Whatever may
have been the practice in the past, l
know it is not my duty, nor would
it be right for me to question jurors
as to their views on a case before
summoning them.
Before I knew that I had been
appointed by the court to act in the
place of the sheriff in this case, four
men approached me and requested
that l summon them as jurors. One
of them stated to me in the presence
of two others who called with him
that they had been sent to me by
our present sheriff for that purpose
This fact l promptly reported to the
court and have TODAY made q
report to the court in writing, giving
the names of these men. The,
were not subpoenaed. ~
II have always tried to perform
any public duty entrusted to me IL
the best of my ability, and fairly ane
impartially. I am sure I did so il
this instance, and I believe thos.
:. who read this article will agree will
me. .-s-.
Yours respectfully,
NJ. E. Ibertson."

MEN THAT GET ON.
Those Not Afraid-Courage Must Be
Mixed With Brains.
'rom the New York Sun,

From the New York SUM-
Some men, said a business manager,
ARE afraid of responsibility, some mon
welcome 1t: either sort OF man may be
good and useful or bad and harmful, ac-
cording to his special development.
There are timid men who need some
body always to lean upon. but who under
guidance are faithful and effective work
ers; and then there are men afraid Of
responsibility who are always irresolute
and Ineffective. who never can be prodded
into anything but the dullest of dull rou-
tine work and who must always stay
down close to the ground, men Of small
account.
Then among men not afraid to take
responsibility you find some who are too
cocksure about 1t. ready to settle any
question that comes up to them right
off the bat, big or little. going ahead
jauntily, slapdash; not a good SOFT of
man this to have at a responsible post.
ALSO you have the man not afraid who
thrives on responsibility and enjoys the
Increase Of power. but who is cool and
clear headed, a man of keen and true dis
cernment who knows instinctively and
logically what is the right thing to do
and who then fearlessly goes ahead and
does 1t, a man OF brains and courage. A
rare combination this. and the man that
possesses ii gets far.

of his great assets. In his last years
he often lamented that 1t was not what
1t had been: but even so. 1t came tri-
umphantly out Of some remarkable tests.
In his eighty-thifd year he set himself
to recall Manzoni's ode on the death OF
Napoleon, which, as a young man, he
had translated into English. He had
entirely forgotten his own version but
by dint OF hard digging or fishing
up. as he called it, he wrote down 1O4
Of the l0s Italian lines. Two years later
he essayed to write from memory a COM
plete list OF all the men who had been
his cabinet colleagues. and enumerated
sixty-eight out OF the seventy. The vet

fore his death, climbing to the top of

HENRY D. ANDERSON DROWN.

Coroner Decides His Mind Was Dis
eased-His Death Not Caused
by Suicide.

Henry D. Anderson. hfty-eight years
old. and q former employe Of the navy

branch, near the foot Of D street south
east, yesterday afternoon about O'Clock.
His body was recovered by Robert Rath-
erdale. who IL employed on the grounds
at the Washington Asylum. and Noel
Slater of 4O7 Kentucky avenue. The
drowning occurred under conditions which
were particularly distressing and. 1t Is
stated by his friends, might easily have
been prevented had proper precautions
been taken by persons who saw hdm lin
gering about the river.
Mr.. Anderson lived with his family at
1895 Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Sew
eral months ago he lost his position in
the navy yard and since that time his
mind seems to have been affected. He
worried over the loss of his position, and
was In bad health. His relatives feared
the time would como whom they would be
compelled to have him sent to the Gov
eminent Hospital for the insane.
