whether or not contract between the
board and the teachers exists.
There was another tilt when Direc-
tor Eaton made motion that ex-Sup-
erintendent Lafayette Bliss be asked
to account for the receipts Of the
class play, which have not yet been
accounted for. The board passed q
resolution asking Mr.. Bliss to turn the
money over to the class treasurer.
Several of the directors expressed
doubt as to whether or not the re-
ceipts of the class play were not
without the jurisdiction of the board.
The annual reports of the treasurer
and clerk were filed and from them
some interesting figures were, taken.
The total expense of the district for
the year was $247,827.52. OF this
amount $40, ,222.05 was for teachers
wages, $77,360.69 for new schools,
$23,867.73 for apparatus, and there is
cash on hand to the amount of $27,-
1857. From the inventory it appears
that the total value of school equip
ment is $50, ,455.22, the total value of
school property $562, ,701, and the ag-
gregate Indebtedness of the district
$205, ,667.10.

LOCAL MAN DISMISSED
ON SERIOUS CHARGE

Axel Palma, clerk in local cloth
inv store, was yesterday dismissed
on a charge Of selling liquor to an
Indian. Palma recently spent an out
ing at Pelican lake. With several
other friends he indulged in more or
less drinking. A boat was secured to
row over to Orr and get a Jug Of
whiskey and an Indian was engaged
to pilot it. Police Officer Green was
keeping an eye on developments and
he arrested Palma in an Indians
shack with the jug of liquor in his
possession. Palma vigorously denied
that he had given the Indian any IL
quor or contemplated doing so. Judge
Carey held the evidence against him
insufficient to warrant his being held
to the grand jury.
Indian Agent Reagan from the Nett
Lake reservation attended the trial.
Mr.. Reagan is making every effort to
stop the practice of selling liquor to
the Indians. In an interview yester-
day he stated that Indians who come
to Virginia seem to have little trouble
in securing whiskey and are frequent
ly found with suitcases full of red
liquor on their return to the reserva.
tion from Virginia.

BALKAN WAR WIDOW
TELLS POLICE STORY

Marie Yankovich, about IS years
old, Servian, and who alleges the is
a Balkan war widow, was visitor at
police headquarters yesterday after
noon and wanted to get Chief Rice's
permission to peddle roots and herbs
about the city, which, she alleges, are
the only real elixir of life and are
guaranteed to cure almost any of the
ills to which humanity is heir. Ac-
cording to Marie, she came to America
three months ago. Her husband and
two sons, she says, were killed at
Salonika in the Servian army fighting
against the Turk. She herself was
driven from Beitul, her home city, as
refugee and came to America. Her
sons formerly lived in Virginia and
returned from this city to the mother
country last fall to join the army.
Marie tells whether one is sick by in
specting the lines in ones hand or by
feeling the bumps on ones head. She
is anxious to- get enough money
to take her to jamestown, North Da:
kota, where she says she has q
daughter residing, but after she had
conducted a clinic at the police sta.
ton permission to peddle her roots
and herbs about the city was denied

Friends Claim Endorsement of
National Committeeman Is
Sufficient.

If the endorsement of Democratic
National Committeeman F. B. Lynch
of St. Paul is sufficient, J. H. Flem-
ing will be the next postmaster of
Virginia. That a fight on Mr.. Flem-
ing's appointment is being put up,
however, is evident, as the appoint
ment which has been daily anticipated
for weeks has not yet been announced.
Mr.. Fleming refuses to discuss the
matter, but his friends are confident
and allege that the present delay
means nothing. Strong petitions have
been sent to Washington asking that
Mrs. Mary H. James be reappointed.
Local democrats, however, declare it
will not receive any attention.
~ have heard nothing recently in
regard to my appointment to the Vir-
ginia postmastership," said Mr.. Flem-
ing Tuesday, ''but my friends assure
me that I will land the place."

Ex-Game Warden Arrested on a
Charge Of Interfering With
An Officer.

Ex-Game Warden George Wood of
Hibbing, who has a penchant for get
ting into the spotlight, will have a
hearing this afternoon before Judge
Carey on charge of interfering with
an officer lodged against him by
Chief of Police Richard Rice. A dis
missal will probably result.
Chief Rice said this morning that
he was not anxious to push the charge
against Wood. Gail 1 am anxious to
do," said the chief, "is to have Mr..
Wood keep from interfering and butt
ing in about police headquarters"
Wood came to the station Sunday
night, just after the police had ar
rested an Indian for having whiskey
in his possession. He suggested to
Chief Rice that ten-dollar bill paid
to him might result in information
that would enable the department to
make other arrests on the same
charge and voluntarily offered his
services in sleuthing out the matter.
Chief Rice constructed Woods atti-
tude to mean that he was out to Sc
cure a personal bribe. He ordered
Wood to leave the station. There
followed some words and Wood was
jailed. Virginia friends bailed him
out soon after.
He alleges that his arrest was
prompted by personal malice, bit
Chief Rice denies he was prompted
by any such motive. He says Wood
is a pest and he does not want him
hanging about the station.

Police Believe That Thomas La.
musga Was Drosned In
Virginia Lake.

That Thomas LarnusRa, the en-
ploye of the lath mill sof the Virginia
& Rainy Lake company, was drown
ed while trying to cross Virginia lake
on the logs, is the theory Of Chief Of
Police Richard Rice. The search for
his body still continues, but up to the
hour of The Enterprise going to press
has not been successful. His rela-
tives have given up practically all
hope that he is alive. b.. -
It was at first believed that Lamus-
ga had slipped from the hoard walk
crossing the boom plant
81 the VirginiA company,
whiles sretarning ID III at4ne early last
Tuesday.morning. This theory is now
secuted by the police, who learn that
two men crossed the board walk not
more than 40 feet behind Lamusga.
He was obscured from their view by
a heavy fog and steam, but it is held
that if he had fallen off the men be-
hind would have found him strug-
Cling in the water or heard an outcry
for help. It is believed he crossed
the board walk safely, walked down
the boulevard and attempted short
cut across Virginia lake to his home
when he fell into the water.
Lamusga wore only his working
clothes and had taken nothing from
his room. Both lakes are being
dragged, but owing to the fact that
they are filled with logs the police
have slight hope Of recovering the
body until it arises to the surface
after the usual period, varying from
seven to nine days, according to the
weather conditions and temperature
of the water. Both lakes will be
closely watched.

The Virginia Northern league base
ball team returns to the city tomorrow
to remain until August Ii. During
it's stay at home it will meet the La
Crosse, Duluth, Superior and Wmni-
peg teams and the series opens with
Lacrosse tomorrow afternoon at Oil
yer park. They will be here tomor-
row, Sunday and Monday and will be
followed by Duluth on the 5th, 9Th and
7th; Winnipeg on the 9th, 9th and
10th and Superior on the 18th and
18th. The games on the official sched-
ule here for the 18th, 18th and 18th
have been transferred to Winnipeg
and will be played there during the
stampede.
The team has been playing in it's
usual luck on the present road trip.
It won but one game of the Grand
Forks series and yesterday had lost
the first two games in the Winnipeg
series. Field Captain Stewart was
out of the game at Grand Forks. He
is confined to a hospital and is
threatened with an attack of pneu-
monia. Bellman is acting as manager
and Hardgrove as field captain. The
games have all been lost by close
scores, comparatively speaking, and
the INK that has so relentlessly pur-
sued the Virginians ever since the
opening of the season is apparently
still on their trail. ;,
II NO new out ders Join. the club
here: tomorrow, Larnpert and Mitchell

with the reputation of being as fast
outfelders as there are in the league
and are said to be wielders of the will

ing staff is going better than ever.
Schulze and Rhodes are vieing with
each other for the flinging laurels and
.Lally is also working well. He pitch
ed a three-hit game against Winni-
peg in eight innings Wednesday.
Brammel is replacing Stewart at
second base and has been going badly.
While one of the best all-around men
on the team, he is out Of position at
the second sack and misplay on his
part, it is claimed, lost the first game
of the Winnipeg series.
The management are scouting for
second baseman to take Stewards
place and one may be joined here.
There is also a prospect that one of
the best known young pitchers in the
northwest will soon be secured.
Virginia will welcome the oppor-
tunity to see the team at home again
and despite the fact that it is playing
in hard luck is patronizing it we'll.
From this time until the close Of the
season the efforts of the management
will be directed to build up club for
next season.
