BOYS DAMAGE CEMETERY
Lads With Sling Shots Break Vases
And Other Decorations

Complaints have been made by the
sexton of Greenwood cemetery Of
boys breaking vases and doing other
damage about the grounds. The police
have been notified and efforts will
be made to chase down the guilty
lads. If any of the guilty boys are
caught the police will undoubtedly
render some punishment which will
put an immediate stop to any furth-
er trouble. A boy with sling shot
on the cemetery grounds or in that
vicinity is now in danger of being
arrested. -

STORM DAMAGES MILLS
Baudette And Spooner Visited BY
Hurricane-No Lives Reported
Lost +
CREW ESCAPES ACCIDEN'

According to reports which have
reached Bemidji, Baudette and Spoon
er was visited by one of the worst
stroms last Friday they have had for
years. A large smoke stack on the
international Lumber Company's
mill weighing SO tons blew down and
crashed throughthe roof of the build
ing which has rendered the mill use
less for.:;the time being. Theaccident
occurred shortly after closing time
which proved. fortunate as the mill
was not in operation and the en-
ployes had left the building. The
huge timbers supporting the roof
were smashed into small pieces and
would have undoubtedly killed a
great many of the employees had it
fallen a short time previous. ...c
Other damage which has been re-
ported is as follows: '
The roofing Of the Rex hotel was
blown loose and will have to be relaid
Windows were blown in at the
Northern News building; the Inter
national Lbr. Co.'S. office building;
the Auditorium and the Phoenix Hall
buildings in Spooner and the Stuart
building at Baudette.
The wind drove the rain through
the broken windows in the Phoenix
block and ruined large stock of can
dies belonging to Milt Robertson.
The roofing of the Auditorium was
torn loose and this will have to be
replaced. Billy Coutt's gasoline tank
took a~jump off the dock and made a
trip across the bay and is now high
and dry on the Spooner side.
One small dwelling house in Old
Baudette turned turtle. Out houses
and fences went hither and thither
and standing trees just took tum-
BILE.
Several parties were at the lake
and considerable anxiety was felt as
to their safety, but, as far as can be
learned, they are all safe.
At the E. A. Engler Lumber Co.'S
mill both stacks were blown over,
one an eight foot stack, which fell
across the machine shops and crush
ed these buildingA to the ground.
Both mills have wired for experts
from the cities and it is expected to
have them there in the morning and
work will be resumed in the early
part of the week.

NYMoRE HAS BRUSH FIRE
Local Department Called Out By An
Alarm From Children.

Yesterday after noon the Bemidji
Fire department responded to an
alarm sent in from Nymore. Automo-
blles were brought into use and as
there are no hydrants in the village
the bucket and fire extinguishers
We're taken along. The fire proved to
be small blaze which was spread
ing through the brush and the chill
dren in charge had lost control.
Quick work was made extin guish-
ing the blaze with out letting it do
any further damage than frightening
the children.

SAVED BY QUICK WIT.
A Reply That Won Napoleon and tine
Duke of Modena.

A Reply That Won Napoleon and tine
Duke of Modena.
In the French campaign In Italy. In
which Napoleon |. first began to win
the laurels which subsequently so
abundantly crowned his career, a
young Italian cavalry officer was TAX
en- prisoner.
Having serious doubts about his
safety. it occurred to the prisoner to
pretend he was great parsonage. So
he promised rewards to his captors II
they would insure his good treatment.
adding confidentially that he was the
Duke of Modena.
He was exceedingly well, cared for,
and early next morning he was called
before Napoleon, who was somewhat
puzzled at finding two Dukes of Mo.
dena among his prisoners, for the real
duke was also prisoner The real
duke angrily asked his counterfeit by
what authority he had assumed tho
title cf Duke of Modena. The young
officer answered:
Your grace. the peril OF my situa.
ton yesterday was such That had !
known more illustrious title | would
not have assumed yours" 81.
The reply so pleased both the duke
and Napoleon that he was forgiven his
deceit
