BOY KILLS VICIOUS BEAR
Alfred Olson Brains 400 Pound
Bruin Who is Less Than Six.
teen Feet Away.
AND NOW DORMANT FOLK FEAST

. s
Alfred Olson 10 years old has made
himself the hero of Dormant Valley
by killing at close quarters a black
400 pound bear Wednesday evening
on the farm of Pete Christopherson
about four miles from Cormant Val.
ley post office.
It had been known for several
months that big ugly bear was
roaming about the woods near Cor
mant, and the farmers in that vi
cinity were on the lookout.
@ Alfred Olson and Pete Christie
pherson were just finishing the days
work of planting potatoes on the
Christopherson farm. On their way
home it was necessary to pass
through a small piece of timber
When about half way through the
woods, not more than sixteen feet
directly in front of them stood Mr..
Bear. The bear was as much sur
prised as were the men and upon
seeing them Immediately stood up
on his hind legs and showed fight.
AS cool as if it were a rabbit,
young Olson, with gun in hand, ad-
vanced toward the big brute, then
took steady aim and fired. His aim
was true and the bear fell in his
tracks. Olson had blown, out his
his brains with the first shot.
Nearly every family in Cormant
Valley has been feasting on bear
meat for the past few days, as a
result of Olson's capture.

MEMORIAL DAY.
BY MARY d. McFADDEN.

Strange or cold the heroes seem
OF other lands than ours
How near and dear are they who dream
Beneath today's sweet flowers!
They whom fame has raised above
The mortal crowds that cheer them,
Are fames-and ours,--WhO learn to love
Friends as we labored near them:
They whose hands we grip no more,
Hands we've held in ours,
Lie today, friends sorrowed DER,
Beneath our tear wet flowers.
On river, lake and stream today
On the blue ocean pillows
Floats out the rose to Blue and Gray
Asleep on sea smooth pillows.
Rest, known, unknown-while breezes blow
The petals from above you,
Rest-for your living comrades know
How we you died for love you!
The free old flag is smiling too
Upon our saddened faces
That we should grieve while knowing you
Are high in history's places!
Memorial Day-Oh hero dead
Even while tribute giving
We turn from each bloom laden bed
To greet your comrades living
The precious few still left with us
Whose days are short and flying,
i So soon upon whose couches, thus
Will be the blossoms lying.
Our bent old soldiers lame and gray
Our grand old heroes, thrilling.
To fife and drum and fag,ss today
We see through eyes tear filing!
They, God keep them in his care
Fast from the ranks are falling. @
We hear, while they are marching there
The far tattoo that's calling.

Mrs. Neste Sobs Frequently.

Mrs. Nestle appears fearful of
going to Park Rapids to testify at
the hearing, because Of her inability
to make herself understood without
the aid of an interpreter, and being
practically without funds. She sobs
much and makes confusing state
ments and her answers on import
ant questions at times are evasive.
In spite of these points which
seem to favor the defendants, it is
understood that County Attorney Woo
ly was damaging evidence and that
sensational developments may be
expected.

Gil lives up to it's indicated position as
taken last night upon suggestion OF
Mayor Parker.
The new district will be west mid
way between Minnesota and America,
north to Fourth street, East to the

An ordinance to this effect was
ordered drawn by unanimous vote
of all members of the council pre-
sent: President of the Council

Bailey, Tom Smart and Joseph Bis

Mayor Parker called attention to
the fact that Chris Olson, proprietor
OF the Arcade saloon on Fourth and
Minnesota, was to transfer into the
fourth ward which made it possible
to segregate all esaloons in. this dis
trict. ~ .
Cali of our saloons are now in
the fourth ward" said Mayor Par
ker, "and l think this would be a
good time to establish a salool.

It the larger cities and most of tn
smaller ones have a saloon iiult.. j

them better. AS it is, they e. nest

Johnson Also in Favor.
President Johnson was the first
to express himself on the subject
and said:
81 don't like to mix up in the sal
Don business but agree with the
mayor on this point, that we should
get them some place and confine
them to certain locality as they
do in other places. There probably
would not be so much moving
around. I think it would be the
best for my part
Good Idea" Says Tom Smart.
Alderman Tom Smart also favor
ed the idea. He said:
81 think it would be good
idea to have a saloon limit in Be-
midi
Alderman Bisiar believed the
move would be a good one as police
protection would be more easily as
sured. II think" said Mr.. Bisiar,
I'VE ought to get the saloon people
all into one ward, the fourth,
where they belong"
City Attorney p. j. Russell was
instructed to- have the ordinance
ready for it's first reading at the
next melting of the council.

Offered to Pay CARTONS.

Mrs. Nestle says that Nestle agreed
to pay Carlton and his wife stated
wages if they would live on the farm
and assist in the work, and that
later the farm might go to the Carl
tons.
The report, which gained some
circulation, Immediately after the
arrest of the CARTONS, that Carlton
had in his possession what he claim
ed was deed to the Nestle farm, and
which had been given him. by Mr.
Neste, was untrue as Carlton, inter-
viewed OH the matter, denies having
made any such statement; and Mrs.
Nestle claims having no knowledge
of any such instrument. AS Mrs.
Nestle is alive and in excellent
health, and there being other i'm
mediate family relatives of Nestle,
there appears to be lack of a motive
to connect the CARTONS with the
disappearance of Neste..
Farmers Show Murder Place.
A visit to the farmers living in
the vicinity of the Nestle farm shows
that only a few of. them have
visited at the Nestle farm since the
strange disappearance of Mr.. Nestle,
there being an especial aversion to
going there since the CARTONS were
requested to leave, followed by the
finding of the human bones and a
foot in the brush pill on the Nestle
farm, few days ago.
A peculiar feature of the finding
of the bones is the fact that the
field on which the bones were found
has been cultivated this spring and
planted, and that the edge of the
field is. but fifteen feet from one
side Of point where the bones
were lying in full view and not
over twenty feet from another point.
Yet Mrs. Nestle and neighbor who
assisted in putting in the crop as
sert the bones were not there when
the tilling was done. This would
apparently explode the claim that
is made that the body of the old
man was burned on Easter Sunday
and that the bones have been lying
there since that day.
