Thomas Chambers, Colored Porter,
Cuts Throat With Rusty Case
Knife Following Arrest.
IS BELIEVED TO BE INSANE
Well and Favorably Known Around
Bemidji Hotels But Had Been
Drinking Heavily of Late.

upon entering the Jail this noon
Chief Harrington, of the Bemidji
police force, found Thomas Chamb-
ers, colored, lying on the floor with
his throat badly cut, and which ap-
parently had been self inflicted.
Chambers was arrested this MORN
ing on charge of drunkenness, by
Patrolman Denley.
The actions of the prisoner had
been rather strange for several days,
and had become so noticeable during
the past day that he was believed to
be insane, and it was with the in
tention of taking him before the
judge of probate that he was arrest
ed.
In cutting his throat, Chambers
used an old rusty case knife, so dull
that the victim must have used it as
a saw to cut.
Chief Harrington at once called
for a doctor and Chambers was taken
to the hospital, where the wound was
dressed and late this afternoon it
was reported that he was getting
along as we'll as could be expected.
Chambers is we'll known in Be-
midi, as a boot black and porter, has
always borne a good reputation, and
was liked by all who knew him or
had dealings with him. He had
been drinking heavy lately.
1t has been said, from an authentic
source, that Chambers has received
several letters of late, from Bemidji
parties, written with an idea to ir-
ritae the unfortunate fellow. ~

HAVE AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY
Given Hardware First in Northern
Minnesota to Use Method.

Not to be outdone by the larger
cities, Bemidji has received an auto
mobile delivery wagon.
The wagon is the property of the
Given Hardware Co., and was made
by the international Harvester Co..
The machine has high wheels,
hard rubber tires, and is very roomy.
1t is understood that several other
Bemidji firms will secure machines
for delivery purposes, as they con-
slider that it will not only be faster
way in which to deliver their goods,
but will be big saving.

R. G. Hayner, Former Auditor of Bel.

This Country Will Be All
Taken Soon. =
FARMING COUNTRY IN 10 YEARS
Many People From Adjoining States
Becoming Interested in Future
Possibilities of This Com
I%.'t munity.

ut is my earnest prediction" said
r. c. Hayner, formerly county audit
or of this county, chat during the
next three or four years that this
country will witness one of the great
est demands for land, that has ever
been known"
Daily" continued Mr.. Hayner,
myself, as we'll as other men inter-
ested in the real estate business,
receive numerous communications in
reference to the lands in Beltrami
county.
81 found on the trip, from which l
recently returned, that the people of
adjoining states are becoming much
interested in the future possibilities
of this country, and they are talking
constantly to their friends of the re-
suits which have been already OBJ
tanned along agricultural lines, here.
"As for climate, give me the good
old Beltrami weather every time. I
had not, up until the time visited
Iowa, had cold for a good many
years, but had not been in that
country three days, before had con-
tracted a cold, which I have not yet
been able to cure. Why, it showed
two inches there only two weeks
ago.
at is my opinion that in ten years,
a visitor to this country will behold
one of the grandest farming COM
munities in the world, that the lum-
Der interests will be thing of the
past. We have the soil, we have the
weather, and with the proper de-
velopment, there is no reason what
ever, in my opinion, why this coun-
try cannot be the greatest farming
community in the world.
81 expect that hundreds of prospec-
tive settlers will visit Bemidji and
summer, and if they do not, r. C.
Hayner will be a very surprised
man.

CAREFUL OF APPOINTMENT
Governor Wants Experienced Man for

Governor A. O. Eberhart is giving
careful consideration to, the appoint

ed by the Sullivan-Anderson indeter

makes the warden of the state prison

board, and the governor is to ap-
point some citizen to serve as the
third member He wishes to name
some one who has had experience
and has a taste for the work of re-
formation of criminals.
ut is unfortunate that the super
intendent of the state reformatory
Frank l.. Randall, was not made {,

"a AAOl SOuoy.
warden Henry Wolfer regrets it
very much and dislikes to pass on re
formatory cases, but he will serve
-on the board, and two years from
now an amendment can be made in
the law.
II regard this indeterminate SEN
tence act as one of the most import
ant given to the state in recent
years. Taken with the bill abolish

Minnesota in the very front rank of
the states from the standpoint of

COHIfdcIS nave Deen closed Tor the
engagement at the Minnesota State
Fair in September of two of Amer.
ica's leading bands They are the
kiltie Band of Gait, Ontario, and
the Patrick Conway Band of Utica,
N. Y. This is the first time in his
tory that the Minnesota or any other
state fair will have the services of
two bands of national reputation
and fair visitors who appreciate high
class music will be given an unusual
opportunity.
The Kiltie band, as it's name i'm
plies, is Scotch organization of
forty members. In costume and
equipment the band is picturesque
and attractive and as to it's musical
ability it has the highest possible
recommendation. These musicians
will play their first western engage

time has been fully occupied with
engagements in the eastern musical

traction at the National Exposition
at Toronto for several years. Last
year they played an engag cement at
the horse show held at Madison
Square Garden in New York and
made such an impression that they
were at once re-engaged for the 1911
show. Probably there is no more
critical musical audience than that
which attends this annual event and
this recommendation of itself carries
great weight. The manager of the
Kiltie band did not in any way So
licit the Minnesota engagement
Secretary Simpson had begun nego-
tiations to get the band for the Iowa
fair before he left Des Moines. He
continued negotiations and landed
what he considers an unusual at
traction for the Minnesota State
Fair. =
: The Patrick band of Utica, N. Y,
is admittedly on a par with the Or
ganization of Prior and Sousa and
PATSY Gilmore" as he is commonly
called, is often spoken of as the sue
cessor to Gilmore.
The Conway band has played sew
,eral engagements at River View
Park at Chicago and has received
more attention and praise there than
any other band. ....
With these two organizations sup
plented by three others and three
orchestras, there will be music
enough to satisfy everybody at the
Minnesota state fair and exposition.
Besides approving these contracts
the board of managers of the Mime
sofa state agricultural society, in
session yesterday, partly outlined an
amusement program consisting of a
big fire works spectacle and num-
Der of other high class attractions,
contracts for which will be closed as
soon as possible.
Upon the suggestion of Secretary
j. c. Simpson the board also auth
orized the expenditure of $4,000 for
the repair and improvement of build
ings, fences, sidewalks and streets
on the fair grounds, all of which
will be done in readiness for the
opening of the fair on September A.

GOVERNOR SIGNS 800 BILLS
w. r. Mackenzie Characterizes D. P
O'Neill as the One Big Represen-
titive of the North.
(By F. A. WILSON,


st. Paul, April 22.-Four Bemidji
men yesterday afternoon gave the
State High School Board in session
here good and sufficient reasons why
the commonwealth of Minnesota
should establish an agricultural
school in Bemidji.
Inasmuch, however, as there were
other delegations bringing all sorts
of pressure to bear to get one of the
twenty schools which are to be es-
tablished under the Putnam act,
and as there are ten other applica-
tons from towns in the Ninth Con-
gressional district, the result of the
Bemidji committees endeavors is
problematical. The board will not
make an announcement of it's sell
ections for some time.
J. P. Lair, secretary of the Be-
midi board of education; w. P.
Dyer, superintendent of the Bemidji
public schools; County Superintend-
ent Stewart and Thomas Burke,
president of the Bemidji Commercial
club were the men who presented
the pleas in behalf of Bemidji.
Other towns in the Ninth Congress
siOnal district are:
Argyle, Stephens, Warren, Detroit,
Fergus Falls, Fertile, Halstad, Red
Lake Falls, Roseau and Thief River
Falls. 1t is understood that Fergus
Falls and Thief River Falls are al
most certain to land schools. 1t is
figured that the Ninth district will
land three schools and that Bemidji
stands an excellent show of being
the third town to be chosen. Be-
midi is the only town in Beltrami
county to ask for school, and from
a geographical standpoint is advan-
tageously located. Fergus Falls and
Thief River Falls have maintained
agricultural schools at their own ex-
pense for some time past.
The hearing was conducted in the
retiring rom of the senate chamber
at the capitol, the visiting delega-
tons taking their seats on the floor
of the senate.
The Bemidji delegation became
separated and was twice called for
it's hearing before it finally presented
itself. BY special request the Be-
mdji men were heard ahead of
others so that the visitors might
catch the evening train for home.
When Bemidji was first called all
were present with the exception of
Mr.. Burke, who, not anticipating so
early q call, had failed to show up at
the capitol. This was in the fore
noon. Early in the afternoon Be-
midi was again called and this time
Mr. Dyer could not be found for some
minutes. He was in the building,
however, and soon reported-out OF

DR.. E. Whitaker.

The sudden death of DR.. E. E.
Whitaker. which occurred Saturd ay
afternoon at the Montreal General
Hospital, is the occasion of much
sincere grief among the friends of
the doctor and his family. The first
of last September he underwent Sc
we're operation for the relief of cancer
of the throat and apparently the
operation was a success. However
some weeks ago the trouble re-
appeared and another operation was
deemed necessary. Busy with his
practice and loathe to leave his pa
tients, the doctor did not return for
his second operation until Thursday
night Pneumonia following the op
GRAFTON, which was more severe than
was expected, was the cause of his
death. DR.. Whitaker had been a
practicing physician in town for many
years and as such had wide &C
quaintance and many friends both at
home and in the surrounding country.
He was closely identified with the in
terests of his town and village and a
member of the several Masonic bod
les here. He leaves his wife, one son
and one daughter. The funeral was
held Wednesday at his late home on
Bay View Avenue.
