 Prof. Lie is an alumnus of Qua chita College, was for several years the teacher of the natural sciences in the college, and was afterward pres ident of Central Baptist College for several years. His several years practice of law increases his efficien- cy for the department of history and economies.

BOOT lfCCEE"
 IS WELL FIXED CARRIES SMALL ARSENAL .G. W. WILSON OF LESLIE FIN ED $450 BY MAYOR FOR
 SELLING LIQUOR.

G. W. Wilson, who was fined S45O by Mayor Duncan for selling liquor this morning, was at the same time relieved of an equipment of fighting apparatus that would do credit to a member of the Dalton gang. His "baggage' consisted of a paper "tele- scope" which was found to conta n among other articles a navy six pistol of ancient design and slightly less than one yard long, a six-inch dirk and scabbard and four pints of unlabeled booze.
 Wilson was caught in the act of selling whiskey to two negroes by Marshal W. E. Clibourn this morn | ing. After his arrest he acknowledg- ed another sale and when brought be- | fore Mayor Duncan entered pleas of guilty to three cases. The mayor as- sessed fines of $1O0, 1850 and $200 in the three cases.
 1 Wilson claims to be a citizen of l Leslie, Ark. He says he is only IS years of age and does not look to be much older. The officers believe he has partner who has also been ped ding booze here, but have been un- able to locate the other man.
 As the defendant was practically penniless and the city had no means of collecting the fines from him, fed eral officers at Little Rock were noti- fled of his arrest and he will be taken to that city for a trial for violation of the United States revenue laws.

GIRLS NARROWLY
ESCAPE DROWNING
Thrown Out of Canoe Short Distance
Inside of Twenty Foot Drop Off
Near City Dock.

Missing the drop off between the
boat houses of the Viking Boat COM
pany and the city dock by a few
yards, Jean BegsIey and Nina Lund
had a narrow escape from serious
accident last evening, when their
canoe upset and threw them into the
lake. The girls fell in about three
feet of water.
Joe Anderson and Carl Hanson
we're close by in the Anderson launch
and succeeded in getting the girls
out of the water before any dam
age further than a thorough Wetting
was done.
The accident happened shortly af-
ter the band concert and when but
few boats were left on the lake. Miss
Lund, who is a deaf mute, turned to
talk to Miss Begsley with her fingers
She turned in such a manner that
she lost her balance and the canoe
upset. The launch was but a few
feet away and the men rescued the
girls before they had swallowed much
water
Had the canoe upset a few yards
further out, the girls would have
been thrown into twenty feet Of wa
ter.

SLY Thief REMOVES S2ol
P. A. Nelson Relieved Of Roll By Matt
Marian in Formers Store Friday
Morning.
HID UNDER NYMORE SIDEWALK.

Having confessed to stealing 1901
from P. A. Nelson yesterday morning
Matt Marian, formerly employed in
BemidJi as printer, was given until
Monday to get out of town. Mr.
Marian left at once.
Mr.. Nelson, who owns a refectory
on Third street, left the money in
the pocket of a coat which was hang
ing in the back room. Mr.. Marian
was the only person in the store and
as he was a frequent visitor, his 60
ing into the back room aroused no
comment.
At noon Mr.. Nelson put on his coat
and at once missed the money. He
could not account for his loss but
confided in an acquaintance. His
friend asked him who had been in
the store and he said that Marian
was the only person and that Marian
would not take the money. 1t seems
that the friend knew that Marian
was out from Minneapolis on proba-
ton for having forged a check for
$500 and he said he believed Marx
en- had taken the roll.
Chief Cell was notified and he and
Mr.. Nelson started after Marian who
had been seen going toward Nymore
They missed their man but on coming
back to town found him sitting in
front Of Nelson's store. He was at
once accosted but declared he was
innocent and the money was not
found on his person. With the as
sistance of Sherm Bailey, Mr.. Mel
son finally made Marian confess that
he had hid the money under side
walk in Nymore.
Mr.. Nelson and the officer at once
went to the spot indicated and found
the roll intact. Mr.. Nelson refused
to swear out a complaint and Marian
was not held to police court but was
told to leave town by Monday.

Tribute to Judge Stanton.

"Friends of Judge C. w. Stanton
of Bemidji are endeavoring to induce
him to consent to his candidacy for
chief justice of the supreme court in
opposition to Justice c. M. Start. If
the Bemidji Judge gives his consent,
petitions for the placin gof his name
on the non-partisan primary ballot
will be circulated.
"In view of the fact that Judge
Stanton has consistently refused to
be considered in the light of a candi-
date this year, he will probably block
the movement, but it's very existence
is tribute of magnitude. Judge
Stanton has made an excellent record
on the bench in the Fifteenth dis
trict. He has a wide acquaintance
through the state and has personally
popularity exceeded by that of few
men,
Judge Stanton for a long time has
been mentioned as possible Demo-
cratic candidate for the governorship
but has always laughed at such talk,
saying that he preferred to stay on
the bench in this district. He said
this morning that he was not a can
didate for the supreme court.
