north there are species of small pirayas
that go in schools. At this point on

MUST AWAIT JURY ACTION
George Howard Bound Over by JUS
tice Hoschied Of Baudette on
Charged of Having Hit Relative.
BROUGHT HERE BY SHERIFF

Because he struck his father-in-
law, Israel Mecheau, over the head
with a piece of gas pipe, following
an argument, George Howard, of In
ternational Falls, will occupy a cell
in the Beltrami county bastile in this
city until the grand jury meets here
next September, is the decision Of
Justice Hoschied of Baudette.
Sheriff Johnson returned with his
prisoner Saturday night, Howard
having been unable to furnish $500
bail
In speaking of the affair, the Bau-
dette Regions says:
Howard and his father-in-law, Mr.
Mecheau, engaged in a little argu-
ment, and just to convince the old
man that he was in the wrong hit
him on the head with a piece of gas
pipe. The blow would have felled an
OK, and Mr.. Mecheau took the count.
Seven stitches were necessary to re-
pair him at the Northern Minnesota
hospital, and he also had a bump
the size of an egg on the back of his
head. Howard was Immediately ar
rested by Marshal Dundas and he ap-
peared before Judge Hoschied the fol-
lowing day.

Considered Best Comedy Staged by
St. Clair Players.

"The Saleslady" was produced at
the Brinkman theatre last evening
by the st. Clair Stock company before
an audience which completely filled
the house. The play is considered as
being the best staged by the stock
company during their engagement in
the city. The rich comedy introduced
by Margot Beaton and Connie-Hal-
lett, the department store girls,
caused much amusement and Riley
Meyers and Charlie Jackson as the
ballroom boys were good. Richard
