TAKEN FROM PARENTS

By order of Judge Martin Hughes
the two young daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Goodsky, Indians living at
Pelican lake, have been taken from
their parents and placed in the Vermil-
ion Lake Indian school at this place.

occasions that the Goodskys were

the worst sort. On July 80 last, Gov
eminent Supervisor L. T. Michaels,
Supt. Albert B. Reagan of the Nett
Lake agency, Deputy Sheriff James
Green and J. Paul visited Pelican
Point and found all the Goodskys
drunk-the father, mother, grand
father and grandmother and several
friends that were on the place. Twen~
ty-nine whisky bottles were found in
the house, and nineteen half-gallon
whiskey jugs were covered up near by.
Judge Hughes decided that the place
was unfit for family of girls to he
reared in.-Tower News.

WINNER SUIT
Peter Hajdukovich Must Pay For
Embalming of Bi-Cephalic Child
Born at Chisholm.

Peter Hajdukovich of Chisholm
must pay to J. L. Phillips, Chisholm
undertaken, the sum of 1913 for en-
balming his bi-cephalic child, ex-
hibited something over a year ago
in several of the towns and cities
of the iron range and later sold 10
exhibitors who toured the country
with it. Hajdukovich was sued in the
municipal court at Chisholm by Phil
lips and the court rendered it's de-
cision Tuesday afternoon.
The suit recalls an incident which
caused a big sensation on the range
something over two years ago.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Hajdukovich there
was born in the month of September
1911, two-headed child. It died
soon after birth. The attending ply
5ician is said to have offered the par
ents the sum of $1,000 for the body
and had intended to present it to
the department of obstetrics of a
we'll known eastern college. The body
in the meantime had been taken to
a Chisholm undertaker's to be pre-
pared for burial. There it was
viewed by number of Chisholm peo-
pie. The parents at one time con-
sidered exhibiting it in the Greek
church at Chisholm and charging adj
mission, half the proceeds to go to
the church and half to the mother and
father. The arrangements could not
be made as the Hajdukovich's de-
sired however, and the child was
ordered buried in the Hibbing GENE
terry. Some days following the FL

SULLN ANN GETS
LIQUOR LICENSE
Little Opposition Manifested to Ita
Granting by Council at Tues
day Nights Meeting.

The city council granted a liquor
license to Ansel J. Sullivan and re-
newals to Thomas Lantry, Andrew
Roberts and Gust Sundling at it's
regular meeting Tuesday night. 1t
also accepted proposition from the
Canadian Northern to have it's trains
come to a full stop at the Spruce
and Larch street crossings, instead
of compelling the railroad to establish
flagmen there and referred a COM
munication from the Williams agen-
cy regarding the taking out Of La
bilitv insurance to the committee on
licenses.
The granting of the Sullivan IL
ouor license was without debate.
Alderman Mattson raised the point
that the council had no right to grant
the license or to rescind it's action
in revoking the liquor license of Pat
rick Sullivan, but his argument re-
ceived slight consideration and upon
the expressed opinion of City At
torney Morgan that the license OF
Sullivan might be granted it was car
ried by a vote of 7 to 2. Alderman
Heritage and Mattson voted against
it's granting. Alderman McGhee,
NOLAN and Harvey all offered to
father the resolution granting Sulli-
vans license. Mr.. Mattson did not
produce the letter he recently receiv-
ed from the attorney general which
it was generally supposed would pave
the way for successful opposition to
the application.
Alderman McGhee wanted to know
whether or not it was possible FOR
the members of the council to grant
a license to Patrick Sullivan after it
had been revoked if they were salts
fed it's revocation had been secured
by unfair means.
Attorney Morgan gave it as his
opinion the council was within its
rights in granting a license to Ansel
J. Sullivan and the matter passed
without further comment.
Unimportant routine occupied the
attention of the council for the ma
ior portion of short session.

CANAL TO BOOM
CITIES OF COAST
F. L. Schoening Back From Extend
ed Western Trip Likes Virginia
Better Than Ever.

Mr., and Mrs. F. l.. Schoening re-
turned the latter part of last week
from a western trip that took them
to practically all the large cities OF
the Pacific coast and Mr.. Schoening,
who is proprietor Of the Mesaba Meat
Market, says he is quite content to-
get back to Virginia and remain here
although both he and Mrs. Schoen-
ing enjoyed their trip a great deal.
Cities they visited were Winnipeg,
Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Port
land, Salem, Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Salt Lake, Denver and Omaha.
They also spent few days at the
Catalina islands.
"The coast cities are looking for
something of boom with the open
ing of the Panama CANAL" said Mr..
Schoening Tuesday, "but business con-
ditions are only fair there now. The
Puget Sound cities all appear to he
lively, but there is nothing like the
boom of five years ago. San Fran
cisco was the Invest city I visited.
Everybody in San Francisco seems to
be prosperous. About the town there
are still some traces of the earth
quake devastation, but the new San
Francisco is in every way city su-
perior to the old. The Panama ex-
position is going to bring good
many people to the city by the golden
gate, but after looking the west over
quite carefully am content to remain
in Virginia and for its size there is
not a city in all the west that has
anything on it in a business way.

charge of the parents. With that the
whole affair passed out Of the public
notice.
Later the child was exhibited in
several of the range towns, an ad
mission fee Of 10 cents being charged.
In Virginia the exhibition was stop
ped as it was also in Duluth. The
state board of health was appealed
to, but the parents had secured the
necessary permission to keep the body
in their possession and those who
believed its exhibition was an out
rage found they had no recourse in
law.
The child had two distinct heads
and necks joined separately on the
shoulders and was otherwise
perfectly formed. When the body
was embalmed preparatory to
it's being placed on exhibition il
was found that the embalming fluid
entered two distinct circulatory sys.
TENS to one heart.
Following the prohibition of it's tx
hibitions in this section it was taker
to eastern states and placed on exhi
bition. Few Chisholm people nov
know what disposition was made 81
1T except that it is on exhibition ii
some eastern freak museum.
