seven years piano tuner in Bemidii
who attempted to kill himself by
jumping into the Rainy River at In
ternational Falls, has been taken to
the hospital for the insane at Fergus

to j. H. Grant for safe keeping. Soon
afterward he again began to "see
things and threatened to take his
own life. He was taken to Fergus
Falls by Deputy Sheriff William

Fire yesterday damaged the Cass
Lake residence occupied by Mrs.
Francis Curry. The blaze origin
ated in the kitchen after Mrs. Curry
had started the morning fire, re-
turning to another room for short
time when suddenly the entire kitch-
EN- was seen to be in flames. Few
| household goods were saved and the
building badly burned. Good work
| by the firemen saved the adjoining
! residence only four feet away. Loss
$500, with no insurance A second
fire was discovered in the hay stack
belonging to David Jones, south of
! the tracks. The fire spread through
! adjoining brush but was soon extin-
guished.
The state drainage board has de-
t cided to go ahead with the construc-
ton of Drainage Ditch No. 70 in
Roseau county, in spite of the fact
that the Legislature failed to make a
sufficient appropriation for drainage
work in that country. John Kohler
some time ago was awarded the con-
tract for the construction of the
ditch for 100000. The ditch will
drain large area of land between
what is known as Roseau ridge and
| Roseau river The state drainage
/ engineer was instructed to make a
survey of a smaller ditch in the west
ern part of the county and report at
the next meeting of the board. 1t
will cost about $4,000.
The Bemidji high school may send
one or more representatives to the
! track meet of the NOrth-Central
| Minnesota high schools at Hibbing,
Mimi, on May 20. Never before has
Bemidji participated in an event of
this kind. Harry Grindall, sopho-
more and Leigh Hendrickson, one of
the eighth grade boys, and others
have trained for some time and they
now are in good trim. Grindall,
who is at the head of the squad, in
point OF speed is in excellent condi-
ton and last evening in practice
made fifty yards in less than five
seconds. If he goes to Hibbing he
will enter in the fifty and hundred
yard dashes and also the mile and
half-mile races.
Mrs. ]. H. Hanson of Middle River
has received an anonymous letter
undated and unsigned which reads
| 81 am dying Enclosed was $50 in
cash. AS her husband is missing
and she does not know where he is,
she is at loss to know whether or
not the letter is from him. Coinci-
dent with this was the fact that an
unknown man left Crookston on the
Warroad train and got off at Green
b bush, presumably to get drink. He
missed the train; was in Greenbush
