A merry kettle of fish is sizzling
in East Grand Forks as a result of
the arrest of Chief of Police Paddy
Sullivan yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Kelly on the train from Bemidji, on
a charge of assault and battery sworn
to by eX-Policeman Gordon of that
place. 1t appears that last Sunday
morning Chief Sullivan and Police
man Gordon got into an alteration
which was followed by a one-round
but red hot, fistic encounter between
the two, in which both were marked
up. Chief Sullivan came to Bemidji
the same morning and Officer Cor
don turned in his star and swore out
a warrant for Sullivan on a charge of
assault and battery. Sullivan left
Bemidji yesterday morning, was ar
rested and taken before Judge Sulli-
van at East Grand Forks, where he
entered a plea of not guilty and his
hearing was set for August II, at
which time there promises to be a
merry mixup unless a settlement is
effected in the meantime What
makes the case more interesting is
the fact that there has been bad blood
between Chief Sullivan and Judge
Sullivan for some time past, the lat
ter charging that the police force
was turning men loose, who had been
arrested, without bringing them be-
fore the court
Those who can dance come, those
who cannot, come, tonight at the Be-
midi Dancing Academy, City Hail.

Drunken Indians are believed to
have killed George Rather, brother of
a International Falls man and who
was shot down in a BURBERRY patch
near his homestead in the vicinity of
Big Fork a few days ago. Color is
lent to this theory because some were
seen in the locality of the crime and
so far as known the deceased had no
enemies. Mr.. Rather, brother of the
murdered man and cashier of the In
ternational Falls NJ & l. freight Of
fee, has returned to that place from
Big Forks, where the body of his
brother was buried. 1t was at first
thought that the death of the de-
ceased had been accidental, but clos
er investigation disclosed the fact
that his body had been dragged some
distance, which led to a post norton
examination and the discovery that
he had been shot twice and with a
gun of different caliber to the one
which he was carrying. The dead
man was a homesteader in that Sec
ton and had a piece of land which
he proved up on in the spring. He
is not known to have had an enemy,
and at the time of his death was but
short distance from his home look
ing for BURBERRY patch. He was
SO years of age and is survived by a
family consisting of his wife and
four children, the youngest of whom
is but few weeks old. The authori-
ties of 1tasca county have promised
a thorough investigation of the case
so that the party or parties guilty of
the crime may be apprehended and
punished.
