BIG FLAG POLE AT The
COURT HOUSE DESTROYED
The Strong Wind Of Saturday Night
Broke Pole at About the
Middle.

The big flag pole which has stood
on the lawn at the court house for
some time past, and which was of
such a commanding height as to
cause comment thereon, has been
wrecked, and a new pole will have to
be put in to replace the tall pine"
which has stood as a sentinel for the
display of odd Glory" on holidays
and all other state occasions when
the county of Beltrami has desired
to display its patriotism.
The extremely severe wind of
Saturday night struck the big pole
with especial violence, breaking it at
about the middle, the top portion fall
ing into the street and being broken
in several pieces. The fall of the
pole damaged nothing in the vicinity,
not even hitting the telephone and
electric light wires that abound in
that vicinity.
A peculiar coincidence in connec-
ton with the breaking of the
pole is the fact that Peter
Gallagher, a local lineman in the
employ of the Northwestern Tele-
phone Exchange company, had, a
few days ago, submitted a PROPOSE.
ton to the board of county com.
missioners for painting the pole from
the bottom to the top. An investi.
cation of the broken pole shows that
had Gallagher attempted to paint
the pole he would have virtually
taken his life in his hands, as the
pole was in a bad condition, and
would most certainly have broken
down with the painter.
This flag pole was erected in the
court house yard the year after the
court house was built, and was con.
siderably over 100 feet in height.

STIRS SOCIAL AND
FINANCIAL CIRCLES
Sensational Cudahy-Li|is Affair
at Kansas City,

Kansas City, March 8.-With J. S.
Lillis, president of the Western Ex-
change bank, in serious condition in
st. Mary's hospital and John P. Cud.
ahy, son of Michael Cudahy, the mil.
lionaire packer, secreted in the home
of friend after attacking Lillis and
being released on 500 bond, social
and financial circles are expecting
sensational allegations to be made in
the event Lillis' injuries should prove
fatal.
: Physicians at the hospital declare
the banker will probably recover, but
will be disigured for life. He is suf-
fering from severe cuts about the face,
arms and legs, supposed to have beer
inflicted with knife by Cudahy.
Lillis was found in the parlor of the
Cudahy home. He was half nude and
bleeding from numerous jagged
wounds, while Cudahy and his chauf.
feur stood over his PROSTATE form.
Cudahy told the police Lillis haG
ruined his home.
Cudahys Are Social Leaders.
The Cudahy family is one of the so.
cial leaders in Kansas City. Lillis is
bachelor, aged forty-seven, and also
prominent. Both Cudahy and Lillis
were members of the same clubs and
the banker has been intimate with the
Cudahy family for years. It was re-
ported few months ago that Cudahy
and Lillis had had misunderstood
ing. Many rumors were rife at that
time, but they faded away, although
Lillis ceased to be a guest at the So
cial affairs in the Cudahy home.
The Cudahys came to Kansas City
ten years ago, after their marriage in
Omaha.
Their honeymoon was trip to Eu-
rope, marked by special trains, royal
suites on steamers and the renting of
a castle in Italy. AS a wedding pres
ent John Cudahy was made manager
of the Kansas City branch of his
fathers packing concern.
Mrs. Cudahy has issued statement
in which she said that stories which
have been circulated regarding her
were distorted and untrue.

It is such uncertain acts of the

valuable agricultural lands that

development of certain sections of
northern Minnesota, more especially
in the immediate vicinity of Cass
Lake.

KING EDWARD MATCHMAKING

Hopes to Arrange Marriage of Niece

matchmaker.
This is the title applied to the Eng
fish ruler by certain French diplomats,
who declare the kings trip to Bar
ritz is not primarily for holiday, but
to meet the Marquis Amelie de Sow
eral, the Portuguese minister to Eng
land, to arrange a marriage between
King Manuel of Portugal and the Prin-
cess Patricia, daughter Of the Duke of
Connaught, the kings brother.
A meeting between the two at Bar
ritz was decided on rather than a
meeting at Buckingham palace, as it
would occasion less gossip.
