DEATH RESULTS FROM FALL
Jliga Kondiuk, Lumber-jack, Dies
Ten Minutes After Accident.

Jliga Kondiuk, 31'years old, lum-
ber-jack, while walking up Mime
sofa avenue at the corner of Fourth
street last evening about $40
O'Clock, slipped and fell backwards
in such a manner that his head hit
the sidewalk, rendering him help
less. He was taken to the city Jail
but died 10 minutes later before any,
thing could be done for him.
Kondiuk had been in Bemidji for
several days and yesterday secured
a job from the Wheelock Employment
Agenck, of this city, at Internation-
al Falls. He was to have left for
International Falls this morning.
1t was at first the opinion of the
physician who was called, that death
was due to a broken neck, but it
now appears that his neck was not
broken, and that he died of heart
failure. Kondiuk was an Austrian.

May REJECT RESIGNATION
Mackenzie May Not Be Allowed to
Withdraw from Fair Association.

Much effort is being made by those
interested in the welfare of the Bel
trami county Fair Association to
have the resignation of w. R..
Mackenzie, as secretary of the as
ISOLATION refused.
In speaking of the matter former
state representative J. J. Opsahl of
this city said:
ut seems to me that to allow the
resignation of Mr.. Mackenzie for the
reason that he will not be in Be-
midi until after the session of the
legislature is over to be accepted
would be rather foolish. There is
no doubt in my mind but what Mr..
Mackenzie has made a fine secretary,
and 1 do not think there is another
man in the county who can fill the
position as he has done. It seems
to me that the proper method to pur-
sue would be to appoint some man
as an assistant to Mackenzie, until
he is able to return.

before Judge Simons yesterday after
noon, to answer to a charge of con-
Quoting a gambling house at Redby.

HELD 70 GRAND JURY
Judge simons Holds That Rohrer
May Be Guilty Of Arson.

In the preliminary hearing held
before Judge H. A. Simons, court
commissioner, yesterday, Frank
Rohrer, who was arrested last Fri
day on a charge of burning a dwell
ing house at Turtle River, was bound
over to the grand jury. -
Rohrer is the owner OF the house
which was burned and during the
testimony of the complaining wit
ness, c. w. Mclaughlin, he, Nc
Laughlin, declared that the defend
ant had come to him during the fire
and told him that if he would keep
his mouth shut he would give him
s25.
The house was insured for $500
and during the past three years the
owner had received only little over
$50 tn rent.
