WANTS TO LEARN WHY
PRISONER HAD POISON
Chief Cook Orders investiga-
ton of Bernstein Suicide

Chief Cook has ordered an investi-
cation to discover who was respOn-
stble for the possession of strychnine
by Sidney Bernstein, who committed
suicide Wednesday night in cell at
the city prison.
Bernstein was arrested by Police
man Barnett of the harbor district for
passing a fictitious check and searched
by him at the prison. 1t is supposed
that Bernstein had the poison concealed
about his person, because it would
have been impossible for any person
calling to see him to have handed the
package through the wire screen.
Bernstein had been arrested three
times before for passing fictitious
checks and he was out on bail pend
ing his trial in one of the superior
courts

De Gro Again Outclasses
Local BilIiardiSt

Frank ("Red') Ely took his second
chance at Alfred de ORC in the GraneS
billiard room last night and again fell
before the skill of the champion, who
clicked off his string of 80 points while
Ely was scoring 3S. At that the local
man made a better showing than he
did last Monday night and but for
missing a number of shots by fraction
Of an inch might have piled up more
respectable score.
De Orc, as usual, was a tri1e slow in
getting into his stride and a $ a conse7
quence Ely had ii over him for the
first 80 points. The Cuban struck his
gait as the match progressed and went
far into the lead just as the looa man
was beginning to look dangerous.
De ORC will meet another strong local
player tonight

per cent of real value; and many of
the southern counties have values of
properties twenty times in excess of
that of Beltrami county, making an
unjust and decidedly unequal
amount which Beltrami county pays
for state taxes, as compared with its
southern neighbors.
The resolution adopted by the
board was as follows:
Whereas, It is believed that,
under the present system of taxation
that Beltrami county is paying in
state taxes more than its just pro-
portion; and
Whereas, The law expressly pro-
vides that all property shall be
assessed for its true and full valua-
alton; and
Whereas, the board of county
commissioners of Beltrami county
do not wish to be a party to any
action or actions contrary to statute;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the assessors for
the various townships, cities and
villages in Beltrami county be
instructed to assess all property in
strict compliance with law; be it
