BEARS MIGRATING
TO SOUTHWEST

Thief River Falls, Mimi. Sept. IL
Inc great number Of black bear which
infest this part Of the state is some
thing which no local hunter or nat.
uraIlst can satisfactorily explain. The
pear appear to be moving in a general
southwesterly direction, despite the
Lact that journey continued in this
dlreclon Will bring them more and
more out on the open prairie.
This city is at least sixty miles from
the dense woods Of Beltrami county
on the east and many miles from even
brush country, but this open territory
appears to have no terrors for Mr..
Brudn. Old bears and cubs are being
chased and killed nearly every day BY
farmers and their boys. All the local
papers recite stories of bear hunting
and these incidents have become so
common that little attention is now
paid to them.
The animals are not vicious and al
ways seek cover when the men and
dogs pursue them. They are very fat
and many persons are experiencing the
nrst sensation of tasting bear seeal<s,
Chicken hunters see many of them In
their travels, but not being armed for
big game, generally give the animals
all the room they require. A few adj
ones, however, have at
tackled at close quarters with bird shot
but without success.
Some migratory instinct impels the
pears to make these annual pilgrim
ages which bring them into the settled
parts of the state and to their death.
What the movement is cannot be ex-
planned. At first it was thought to
be caused by the forest fires. and pos
sibly they may have aided the move
ment, but every year witnesses the
same migration. 1t cannot be the need
OF food as they are all in good condi-
ton, and they do not appear to modest
sheep and hogs. A few cases of their
killing small pigs have been told, but
they seem to be merely travelling
along to some goal to the southwest.

Man COMES HOME,
FINDS BRIDE DEAD

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 17.--Mrs Kath-
ryn Beaumont 10 years old, and a
bride of three weeks. was found dead
at her home this morning under rather
unusual circumstances by her husband,
Albert Beaumont, returning from work.
There are no evidences of a violent
death discovered by the authorities,
and the suicide theory also dicred-
tied. The woman was found on a
couch by her husband, who thought
that she was asleep.
Beaumont is fireman, employed by
the Northern Pacific road, and left his
wife yesterday noon, apparently in
good spirits. Earlier in the day, ac-
cording to Beaumont, she had COM
planned of a slight headache, but said
that she would be all right.
When Beaumont returned from his
run this morning he reached his home
at 2:10, and when he entered the fiat
he noticed the form of his wife on the
couch. Thinking that she was asleep,
he did not wake her at first Later he
noticed the pallor of her cheeks and
going over he touched her, only TO find
the body lifeless. He at once called
for a physician. who said that the
young woman had evidently been dead
several hours, but ventured no ex-
PLANTATION for the death.

HEADS
NOT FRAGILE

Aberdeen, S. D., Sept. 17.-Two To-
cal negroes, Messrs. w. M. James and
Will Jones, employed respectively as
porters by the Spaulding Auto COM
pany and Drake barber shop, tried to
test the relative hardness of their
heads yesterday noon on Third avenue
east, near the Sherman hotel. After
little preliminary mounting by both
Jones unsheathed a screwdriver and
damned 1t into James upper lip, pune
turing it badly Then he picked up
brick and hurled it against the others
head The brick broke in twain but
the cranial protuberance of James had
not dent in it that was visible to the
naked eye. James retaliated by dash
ing a good sized chunk of coal into
an indefinite number Of pieces on the
skull Of Jones. The latter's headpiece
stood intact and uninjured, and Jones
himself wasn't feazed in the least
But for the slash by the screwdriver
in Jones lipt both were as physically
good men when the battle ended as
when 1t began.
Later in the afternoon James ap-
peared before Police Justice w. O.
JSAASS cbAAA S"O4G Oub d "dIIdllL lOT
the other fellows arrest, charging
him with assault and battery. An Of
flcer was despatched who soon brought
the offender to the Jail, but as he
was considerably under the influence
Of liquor, the case won't be tried I'M
til this morning when he is sober
James claims that the other fellow
made the boast that he was the bully
of Aberdeen and with that made an
attack on him. The trouble started
so James said, because he wouldn't
recognize Jones and would pass right
by him on the street and wouldn't
speak to him
Although the fight only lasted few
minutes, still there was a lot happen
ing in those few minutes.
1t was brought to a close by some
citizens stepping in and forcing the
two to des!st.
According to James statement he
was only trying to get away from the
other fellow and was only a passive
actor in the scrap.
This fracus happened just when
the policeman was at the other end
of his beat, SO that they were not
arrested at that time.

WAS LEADING
DOUBLE LIFE

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 17.--After a
search Of more than year and a half,
William King was arrested Tuesday at
Monoma, Ia, by Deputy Sheriff Frank
Magic and brought back to Duluth to
answer before the local court to a
charge Of child abandonment.
Kings career has been an interesting
one. He is an Englishman and while
living in England is said to have led
double life, having two separate and
distinct families.
He divided his time equally between
them, it is said. One Of the women died
and King came to the United State,
bringing with him the children, Ken
Meth, 8 years DID, Bartian, g. Harry,
z, and Lillian, 5. Duluth looked like a
good place 10 lose himself and he made
for this city, where he placed the chIi-
dren in the childrens home.
He worked here as painter, it is
said, and for time contributed resu-
larly to the support of the children.
After while he apparently forgot
about them.
The wife who was living was sent
for and she came to this country,
bringing with her the four children
who belonged to her. King dropped
out of sight in Duluth, and in spite OF
the diligent search that was made, he
could not be found,
He evidently Joined his wife in Mo-
noma, Ia, where he had secured the
pastorate of church. He has been
living there since that time preaching
the gospel.
He does not look like man who
would abandon his children and Sheriff
Magic didn't know what TO do when
he discovered him a preacher. So he
wired to John Norton, county attor-
ncy: rs your man a minister? 1t does
not look right" Many peculiar things
happen in the county attorneys Office
and Mr.. Norton sent word to bring MIN
along.
He was indicted by the September
grand jury and he will be arr4ignsd
within q day or so.
The local courts and the county At :
torney are determined to hunt down
those who desert their families.

and half mile west Of Kloten. came
from the elevators and walked up the
track towards the depot, all the while
looking at the passenger train when a
fast west bound freight came up from
behind him, killing him instantly. The
engineer Of the passenger saw the
danger the man was In and blew the
whistle but that only deadened the
noise Of the on coming train. The
unfortunate man, never knS W what hit
him. That, and the NOISE Of the
whistle was in a great measure the
cause of him being run over. He was
badly crushed, his left arm was
broken and his skull crushed. The
body was dragged about sixty feet.
