HOLD CoRoNER'S INQUEST
Body of William Sherman Examined
at Nebish and Jury Decide Death
By Suicide.
KILLED BY 1870 RIFLE BALL

At a coroner's inquest held at Ne
bish last night, it was officially de-
cided that William Sherman, whose
body was found Saturday after he
had been missing for week, came
to his death by committing suicide.
Coroner Ibertson, DR.. Sanborn, Coun-
ty Attorney Torrance and Deputy
Sheriff Cahill went to Nebish yester-
day afternoon, held the inquest last
night and returned to Bemidji this
morning.
Sherman's body had lain in the
woods for week before it was
found and was in badly decomposed
condition, owing to the rain and
warm weather. Upon close examina-
ton it was found that ball from
1920 bullet had killed Sherman.
The bali entered the head about one
inch above the left eye and came
out the back of the head on the right
side but about one and one-half inch
es higher than the point of entrance
At the inquest it developed that
Sherman's gun was found lying
across his left arm and in such po-
sition as to indicate that he had
pulled the trigger. The ball had gone
clear through the head tearing out a
large portion of the skull at the point
of exit.
The body will be buried at Nebish
today.

ITALIANS
KILL TWO.
Posse of One Hundred Sent Out From
Milwaukee to Seek Band of
Four Slayers.
By United Press.

By United Press.
Milwaukee,, Aug. 1.-TWO men
are mortally wounded as the results
of battles with gang here early this
morning. One was shot while trying
to defend his cash register. The 9TH
er, a policeman, shot when trying to
stop the men.
Four men, Italians, entered the sa-
loon of Alexander Watzlavik at Wau-
kesha this morning and endeavored
to rob the register of it's cash. Watz-
laVik was in the saloon at the time
and pulled a revolver from under the
counter. In the struggle which en-
sued, he was shot and fatally wound
ed.
after maltreating Watzlavik's sister
who had come to his rescue. They
started north toward Milwaukee ov-
er the Northwestern railroad tracks.
Patrolman Charles Korn, aged thir-
ty, of West Ellis, a Milwaukee sub
urb, was the next victim. He had
been warned to be on the lookout for
the men and when he saw them ap-
preaching, commanded them to halt.
Throw up your hands," he said.
You are under arrest" AS Korn
shouted, one Of the men laughed de-
risively and shot twice. Korn sank
to the ground upon the railroad
tracks desperately wounded. He
called for help for ten minutes and
then crawled three blocks to a house
where he aroused the occupants.
They gave the alarm. Korn is now
in a Milwaukee hospital and is not
expected to live through the day.
A posse of a hundred men, led by
deputy sheriffs, is now searching the
country west Of the city in the hope
of finding the Italians It is believed
that the men are desperate and no
chances are being taken.

mercial club rooms Monday after
noon the name of the association was
changed to read, "Bemidji Building

documents when making out papers.
The loan privilege was also extended
from $1,000 to $4,000, which will
enable the directors to make loans to

Father Beat Him Cruelty on Sunday
And Lad Fled Fourteen Miles
to Seek Aid.
MAN WANTED NOT AT HOME
Bailey and Bursley Bring in Wife and
All Guns and Ammunition Found
In the Home.

Armed with two warrants, one for
an arrest and the other search war
rant, Deputy Sheriff Bursley and
Game Warden Bailey went to the
home of August Radi nine miles east
of Turtle River yesterday afternoon
to bring him to Bemidji Radi was
not found but his wife accompanied
the officers to this city.
Radi is accused of having threat
ened to kill his wife and his ten year
old son. Sunday morning, Radi en-
tered the house in an ugly mood and
beat the boy so badly that he fed
from the house in fear Of his life and
walked the fourteen miles to Bemidii
alone. He did not even stop to get
his hat. He said that the woman,
who is his step-mother, was in dan
ger of her life and that help should
be sent at once.
The officers drove to within four
miles of the house and proceeded the
rest of the way on foot. They ap-
preached the house with arms ready
for service as they had been warned
that Radi might shoot on sight. He
was not expected home until night
fall SO they brought his wife to Be-
midi and took all of the guns and
ammunition that he had in the house.
Mr.. Bailey also found several musk
rat hides in such state as to show
that the animals had been taken out
of season.
1t is said that Radi has very
jealous disposition and is subject to
fits of almost insane anger. The Of
GERS left note saying that there was
a warrant out for his arrest and that
he should come to Bemidji at once.
In case that he does not come to this
city today, the officers will make an
other trip to get him. Mrs. Radi is
being CHARTERED at a hotel for a few
days. She is Scandinavian but Radi
is a German.
Mrs. Radi said last night that sew
eral times he had placed a gun to
her breast and threatened to shoot
but had not. She said both her life
and the boys were in danger. The
boys head was badly cut in the as
sault Sunday.

as she hustled into the bank, stepped
to a desk, Endorsed a check and then
handed it in at the paying teller's
window.
You see, I've Endorsed it and come
to the right window the very first
time" she said with a beam1ng smile.
I'VE women are getting to know a
little about banking"
That's very true, indeed, madam"
said the teller, but this check Is not
signed by any one"
We'll, I just got it from my hus-
band. He's in Chicago. Here's his
letter, telling that he is enclosing it."
That's all good enough. madam,
but the check itself must be signed"
Here's his name on the letter.
Can't you cut 1t off and paste it on
the check?"
1t took the teller some time to ex-
plain and he still wonders II she
doesn't think he just didn't want her
to have the money.
