Not Altogether a Case of Love.

Here is a story to illustrate the
point that one never can Judge by ap-
pearances.
"A young boy with golden curls. a
regular cherub in appearance. was on
the front porch playing with a little
dog and putting him through a lot OF
tricks. A minister passed by and
was struck by the appearance of the
little chap and the celebrity with which
the dog obeyed all his commands.

love your dog. Are you good to

OF MURDERED
GREEK HELD As WITNESS

County Attorney Boyle was at
dibbing Monday to conduct an i'll
'estigation into the facts surround
ing the murder Of Pames Karas, a
Greek, who was shot on the road
near the r0adhouse of Fred Harris,
a short distance from Hibbing.
The investigation did little to clear
up the mystery surrounding the
shooting. Tom Foutpoulous, who
was held in connection with the
affair was examined at some Length
and was required to give bonds in
the sum OF $1,000 for appearance
before the grand jury. Foutpou-
lous reported the shooting and told
story to the effect that he and
Karas had been held up. Suspic-
ion wassdirected toward him, how
ever, when it was learned that he
and the dead man had had some
words just before leaving the street
car for the resort. He told a
straightforward story at the in
quest and at the preliminary hear
ing and the evidence was not suf-
ficient to warrant a charge being
laid against him. The authorities
are carefully investigating the af-
fair.

The circulation of the Virginia
public. library has increased 40
per cent since the new 1ibrary
building was occupied the first of
the year, indicating the most pro-
nounced growth in its history. The
new location Of the library, max
ing it more available, its attractive
reading rooms and the fact that
large number of the best books
have recently been added are be-
lieved to be the reasons for the
increase.
The SUN porch reading room will
be ready in a short time. 1t will
be the only thing of the kind in
any library On the range. The
sun porch is situated at the south
west corner of the new library
building and will be one of the
most attractive spots in town on
summer afternoon. Vines and
plants will afford a natural shady
spot and it is expected to become
very popular with library patrons
There is at present being shown

CATERPILLARS KILLING OFF
TIMBER NEAR GHEEN

State Forester w. L. Cox and
District Forester Fred Bessette,
spent the fore part of tho week
inspecting the Gheen district east
and West. Mr.. Cox states that he
believes that the great body Of
fine poplar that lies west Of Gheen
has been killed by the caterpillars
that have been stripping the foil
age Off the trees for the past three
seasons. That inside of two years
very little live poplar will be seen
west OF this point and along the
Little Fork where the worms have
been at work. If this proves true
IL will destroy the value OF this
timber for heading stuff or lumber.

tnis timber is killed and got rid
of, the quicker will the highly
fertile land it is now occupying be

5. c. Bailey in Virginia the First Of the
Week Was Prominent ia the Dumas
Case--A. J. Brandt Writing Book.

Alderman S. C. Bailey of Be-
midi, formerly one of the best
known police officers in the nor
thern part of the state, now deputy
game warden Of Beltrami county,
and during the investigation by the
state fire marshall office of the
Dumas arson cases, one Of the
chief detectives for the state, was
"a Virginia visitor Monday on busi-
ness Of an official nature, which
lie refused to divulge.
Mr.. Bailey is one Of the most
trusted men OF the state game and
fish commissions executive force
in the field and is very active in
his home county in enforcing the
game laws.
He was a lifelong friend of Nor
man Helmer, the Bemidji police
man, who was shot and killed last
summer by foreigner whom he
was endeavoring to place under ar
rest. Il have always been of the
opinion said Mr.. Bailey Monday,
that there was plot to kill Hell
mer and that it worked out just as
those who made it intended that it
should. Few men in the state
were nearer the inside story of the
Dumas cases than was Helmer. The
true story Of the Dumas case has
never been printed in the news
papers and probably never will be;
it would serve no good purpose
now. 1t was just as sensational an
much more so than the people of
the state at large ever knew. It's

RANGE SCoTCnMEn ARE
TO have ORGANIZATION
4. 6. Mcknight Interesting Residents Of
the Range in Organization Of Local
Branch Of Scottish Claa and
Is Encouraged.

A. G. Mcknight of Duluth, was a
Virginia visitor Tuesday for the
purpose of interesting local resi-
dents in the organization in Vir-
ginia OF a Scottish clan to be affil-
lated with the National Scottish
clans. Mr.. Mcknight is an enthu-
siastlc member of CLAN Stewart at
Duluth and in the work OF the
order has a national reputation.
The clan has fraternal and in
sulance and sick benefits and is
very popular with Scotch-Ameri-
cans. Anyone OF Scotch birth or
ancestry is eligible to membership.
The Virginia clan will probably be
organized in a short time. It's
membership will not be confined
TO Virginia alone, but will include
Scotch people from all over the
range.
Mr.. Mcknight believes there is
opportunity for one of the finest
organizations in the state ON the
Mesaba range and has already sue
ceeded in ar0using the interest of
prospective members at Bveleth,
Chisholm, Hibbing and other
points. A brief canvass of the
city Tuesday developed the fact
that there are fully 25 prominent
Virginia business men eligible to
membership. A number of local
Scots are now members of Clan
Sytewart, Duluth, which is one of
the most popular societies of that
city and whose annual affairs are
an event of importance in the Zen
ith City.
