was the feature of a congress of
FOUNDERS at this mornings municipal
court session, Judge Carey presid-
ing. Gardner and w. V. Vreed mix
ed in a Chestnut street saloon last
hight over the possession of an anti
1uated Colts revolver. Gardner is
said to have thrown a glass which
struck Vreed in the face and Vreed
came back strong and won a rough
and tumble engagement handily. He
wore a ring on one hand and Gard
ler's countenance was considerably
battered up as a result. Judge Carey
ined him $40. If he doesn't pay the
inc he must 60 to the county Jail for
30 days. An itinerant laborer who
claimed to have been robbed in a
Chestnut street saloon while intoxi-
ated and asleep declined to push the

were ordered out of town and a trio
nervous and shaky from prolonged
tussles with Old John Corn were

SUBJECT TO NIGHTMARE
MINER SUES FOR DAMAGES

Injuries which Matt Mattson, aged
20, received while employed at the
Genoa mine on July 10, 1912, not only
impaired his reasoning faculties, but
left him subject to the strange hallu-
cination that he was about to expert
ence the sensation of being engulfed
under a mass Of falling ore again,
according to claims made by the in
jured miner in a $4,000 damage suit
filed Tuesday in district court against
the Oliver Iron Mining company.
Mattson was working on a staging
built across drift, when large mass
Of ore fell upon him and nearly
buried him alive. The most serious
injury, it is said, was the mental shock.
Since the accident he has been con-
fined for period of several months
at the Fergus Falls hospital for the
insane. He claimed that he is now
subject to be awakened in his Sleep
by frightful hallucinations.~

GILBERT FEARS
nCEnDIARlES
Four Fires Within Week Strengthen
Theory That Arson Bug Is
Busy There.


Four fires withinsa week, the last
Of which occurred at o'clock this
morning and destroyed q warehouse
belonging To- lfik 7 y filols, entailing 4
loss estimated at 81 ,0Qo,partiallyy; coy;
cred by insurance, leads the people of
Gilbert to believe that a firebug is
working in that town. All the fires
we're apparently of incendiary origin
and Gilbert people who fear there
may be others with more disastrous
results are getting uneasy.
The theory of incendiarism is
strengthened by the fact that two of
the buildings burned were on the
outskirts of the town isolated from
other buildings and unoccupied. Last
week a residence fire entailed heavy
loss and there is no satisfactory
theory of the origin.
The Viola warehouse which burn
ed this morning was some distance
away from other buildings and no
ire was left in the building last
hight. Gilbert people fear the FIRE

ORGY FOLLOWS
INDIAN PAYDAY
Ab0rigines ut Tower Have Plenty of
Money Following Receipt
of Annuities.

According to a we'll known Tower
business man in Virginia yesterday
an orgy Of drunkenness followed the
recent disbursement Of government
money to the Indians in the vicinity
of Tower and Ely. Intoxication was
open and women and children shared
in the general debauchery with the
result that . good deal Of indigna-
tion has been aroused at both towns.
Bootleggers have reaped q harvest.
This, according.to the Tower business
man, has been the usual condition for
a number Of years, but in the mean
time patience IS getting threadbare
and it is not improbable that there
will be rigid Investigation soon to
determine whether or not those
guilty of furnishing liquor to the In
dians can not BE brought 70 justice.

FITZGERALD IS A STlCKLER
FOR GOOD OLD FASHIONED CAD

Ticker for the city schools. Cor
poral punishment was never admin
istered without the consent of the
parents but I know of good many
cases where it has been a good
thing for the boys of our schools.
Last year at one of the locations we
had a school where there were a num-
ber of youngsters who kept the
teacher in hot water most of the
time and were not amenable to ordi-
nary methods of discipline. 1t was
then decided to apply the gad, the
gad of our dads and grand-dads. It
was just the thing needed and it got
results of lasting nature with SUI
prising dispatch. The number of
cases where it was necessary in the
schools of Virginia, when the school
population is considered is surprising.

William Fitzgerald, municipal court
officer, and formerly truant officer of
the Virginia schools, is a firm be-
lever in the good old gad, the CAD
of our dads and grand-dads as NOR
al persuader in the schools of Vir-
ginia. Further he regards it abso-
lutely necessary in some cases in
teaching the obstinate young idea
how to shoot and he thinks also that
anybody who believes a school can be
properly conducted without a little
laying on of the hands is sadly mis-
taken and has never had much prac-
tical experience with school affairs.

P. and the Virginia & Rainy Lake
railway to the mill of the Virginia
& Rainy Lake company in this city
are expected to be delivered in Vir-

steel underframe and patent
pockets. They possess the advantage
over the types of logging flats now in
use that they can be automatically
unloaded at the landings, require less
labor in handling, minimize the dang
er to men working about the landings
and increase the efficiency per man.

TELEPHONE TO
AID SETTLERS
Woods Country Will Have Direct
Communication With In
ternatiOnal Falls

Settlers in Koochiching, St. Louis
and Itasca county, practically isolat-
ed from the outside world so far rs
direct communication is concerned
for the reason that they are so far
removed from railroads and in most
cases from decent highways, are soon
to have q telephone service which
will put them in direct cornnnunica-
ton with International Falls ac-
cording to State Forest Ranger Fred
Bessette, who was in Virginia Mon
day morning, and it will be consid-
cradle protection against forest fires
as we'll as providing trails through
the woods along the line of the tele-
phone which will be big con-
venience to travel and will serve
in lieu of better roads for some time
to come.
The state and federal government
will combine in building the line. It
will connect International Falls and
Dentayo, Orr, Big Falls and the
Nett Lake agency, the cable from
Orr to the agency being laid for the
greater part of the distance in Peli-
can lake. About As miles of the
necessary construction will be made
by the state while the construction
from Orr to the Nett Lake agency
will be made by the government.
The new line will provide ready COM
munication with large section of
the country where there is more
than the ordinary risk from forest
fires and through the interest of the
rangers largely it was secured.
The trails will also be a consider
able protection to homesteaders and
settlers in case of forest fires. Many
of the people who lost their lives
in the forest fires at Spooner and
Baudette did so simply because there
were no adequate trails to lead them
out of the woods when they fled
from their homes before the flames.
The route of the telephone line will
be cleared and we'll defined and will
serve as a valuable landmark for q
good many years to come.

SECOND SUITS
ARE STARTED
Trial of Cases Brought by Teachers
to Collect Salaries at Next
Term of Court.

Ida E. Henry and Marion O. West,
former teachers in the Virginia
schools, this week filed their second
suits. for the collection of money a.
legged to be due them under contracts
with the board of directors of the
Independent school district of Vir-
yinia. The suits are, the same rs
hose filed last month except tl.at
hey are for fthe October salary
claimed TO -be ,due.. 5..sx ~ -
The casasswilL come on for trial It
the December term of the district
court in Virginia and by that time
each will have filed a third suit on
the same grounds. Judge Montague
is attorney for the Misses Henry
and West, while M. H. McMahon'
will appear for the school board. It
is probable that it will be agreed by
stipulation to bring all three cases
under one head.
The evidence promises to be of a
highly interesting nature and will
include letters received by the teach
ers from school district officials and
letters written to outside parties as
we'll in which statements are made
that are held to be sufficient ground
for damages. The cases will also
serve to throw some light on how
school affairs were conducted in Vir-
ginia in the past and altogether they
promise to furnish some highly inter-
esting reading for the public in
Virginia interested in school affairs.
