The lizard Times" Social

at the New Guild Hall last Friday
night was decided success in every
way. The ladies of the [. c.
church prepared fine lunch of
coffee, sandwiches, doughnuts and
pie and those who enjoyed the
dainties, contributed to sum of
S21 .25 as net proceeds for the affair.
The admission was free and there
was good crowd present to enjoy
the music, games and general
good time. AS the hall was not
yet completed, it was understood
that this first affair was not to be
the formal opening, but it was
clearly demonstrated what fine
thing it is going to be forthe young
people of the town. They can
enjoy many a winters evening as
they did this one, feeling free and
light hearted, to say nothing of the
indoor games, the gymnazium and
the baths. Truly it is commend
able undertaking and every one
should be proud of it for the good
cause that has prompted its erection.
The hard time'' costumes were
wry symbolic Of those real condi-
ttsS~, and fun, we'll everybody is
ready for another such affair soon.

Horrible Death
of Former Ohio
City Man

The terrible suffcrings and death
of Henry Severson, a former Ohio
City man. is told by the Denver
dailies, the following having been
taken from the Post.
Caught in his own bear trap, while
on hunting trip in the mopntains
near Embudo, n. NJ, Henry Sew
erson, So, formerly of Denver,
fought against death by starvation
and thirst or being killed by wild
animals, for several days before he
finally succomed.
News OF the finding of his body,
torn into shrcds by the claws of
mountain lions and wild cats, has
Just been received here by friends.
His Identification is made complete
by papers found in pocket OF his
coat.
Sevcrson was well known thruout
the state, and had innumerable
friends in Denver, especially among
mining men and the earlier settlers.
He came to this state in the '1Os,
first located at Lcadville. His wi fe
died few years later, and he fol-
lowed the mining game from one end
of the state to the other, winning
and losing several fortunes.
With what was left of a rather
comfortable fortune, he came to
Denver about five years ago and
purchased q cigar and news stand
in tile Boston building, with view
of retiring from the more active
life he had been living. He roomed
at the Markham hotel.
About eighteen months ago, un-.
able to withstand the call of the
wild, Severson sold his Denycrsta
He first went to Ohio City and then
to La Jara, and there outfitted for
trapping trip. He went into tfe
hills from Embudo, N. NJ, and
returned to that point for suppl les
The last seen of Severson was on
one of liis. Embudo trips more than
two months ago.

gift God gave to the world in giving
America, our grand, beautiful America,
that is great enuf and good enuf to feed
the whole world if n eed be! Is it moi
something to rejoice over that we can
look over smiling fields that have filled
the bursting granaries, orchards that
have given such heaps of treasures of
green and scarlet and gold, mines that
have poured forth gold and silver and
precious products?
Yes, this is a great Thanksgiving,
great not alone because of the supplies
that abound, but the peace that broods
over our Capitol and our hearthstones.
We have learned that out of suffering
and struggle is born divine sympathy,
and as a nation we look with pitying
ewes upon those who are in the midst of
conflict and trial.
Tho we have much to learn and much
to accomplish, great thing to be
thankful for is, that we are finding out
the weak spots in our armor-that we
are jealousy seeking to establish new
standards of character and conduct in
constitution and government.
Yes, let us give thanks for our nation,
our prosperity. our prospects, and all
the experiences that have made US what
we are, as one of the nations of God S
beautiful earth.
So much for the national, now what
about the personal Thanksgiving? Do
you see an analogy between the nation
and yourself? Can you look back to
the time of infancy when you were in
the beginning of the cultivation of your
fields? Amid the efforts and struggles
and 10 ngings to bring forth goodly
harvest of the wheat, the corn and the
fruits Of your talents, can you say you

Baudette, April somewhat of a
sensation was caused Monday when it
became known that the members Of
the retiring council had been made
defendants in suit for $1,000, and
that application had been made to
restrain them and their successors
from deciding over to J. A. Lindsay
the tract of land which has been used
as ball park in Baudette for the
last few years. The defendant in the
suit are w. T. Noonan, George B.
Partridge, Frank Johnson, Frank
Slipp and J. A. Lindsay. The men
who have taken up the matter, and
whose names appear as plaintiffs,
are J. L. Williams, Bert Tonberg, j.
w. Collins, Chas. Miller and I. NJ.
Nesje. Mayor Middleton is attorney
for the plaintiffs, and it is understood
that he is the prime mover in the
suit.
Coming just as the men were re-
firing, the suit has caused a lot of
discussion, and the fact that it has
put in jeopardy the new hotel which
the Duluth Brewing company intend
ed building at Baudette, has made
some of the arguments red hot in
their nature. The old council is not
worrying over losing any money in
the, matter, as the land involved will
cover the amount of the suit. Public
opinion appears to be strongly
against the action being Instituted,
and it is doubtful if ten per cent of
the voters are in favor of it.
The plaintiffs base their claim on
the fact that Mr.. Lindsay was a mem
Der of the council when the deal was
made, and that it is illegal for a
council to enter into contract, with
one of its members.

OLSON NOT GUILTY
University Professor Freed From
-. Murder Charge For Killing of
Clyde Darling, Laundryman.
PLEADED THE UNWRITTEN LAW

St. Paul, April 9-Not guilty, was
the verdict of the jury in the case of
Oscar A. Olson, professor in the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, who, on the
evening of March 5, shot and killed
Clyde Darling, laundry wagon driv-
er and admirer of his wife.
1t was dramatic finish to a dra-
matte trial. AS the jury filed into the
court room last night after less than
four hours, elaboration, the profess
sor rose from his chair and stood sill
emily as they walked passed him. The
attorneys for the accused man critic
ally scanned the faces of the twelve
men and read in them the verdict of
acquittal.
Olson did not look AS the clerk
read the result of their deliberation,
the professor turned his head slowly
in his direction, and look of bewil-
derment came into his face.
He did not seem to understand.
Then one of his attorneys grasped
his hand 49,
+ This brought Olson to a realization,
and tears slowly filled his eyes.
~"Gentlemen,% thank .you," he said
turning to the jury.
Each of the twelve men smilin civ
advanced toward the man whom they
had freed, and extended a hand.

AS it would be impossible for the

working on the weight basis. Sacks
of gold and silver containing $1,000
are carefully weighed and used as a
standard. BY these, the rest of the
money, similarly sacked, is weighed

possible to drive from Thief River

About twenty men from the town
of Eckles, led by l.. A. Gould, ap-
peared before the board to protest
against their high taxes as their rate
the past year was 706 mills. 1t was
shown them that of the 70.6 mills
raised, "a mills was spent in their
town for schools and II for town i'm
provements so that 81 mills came
back directly. Investigation also
showed that the town board had
erred in it's levy and had returned
double assessments in some cases.
Had these not been discovered and
rectifed in the auditors Office, the
levy for Eckles would have been,
over 100 mills.

across the Mississippi river. Mr..
Richie stated that the new route
would be about three-fourths of a
mile farther to Bemidji from points
south Of the river than the present
road around the south shore of the

Mr.. Rako stated that he felt the

there will be three bridges
