NAVAL BAND HERE
FOR ARM|ST|CE BALL
TALENTED GROUP FROM Dull
UTH ENTERTAIN BIG CROWD
WITH CONCERT AND DANCE
LAST EVENING.

An exceptionally large crowd
greeted the Duluth Naval Band at
the Washington Auditorium last even
ing on their appearance here in the
Armistice Day concert and dance
given by the Frank Lozar Post of
the American Legion.
The boys 45 strong, arrived here
at about eight o'clock in two busses
from Duluth. The concert played
by tht band attracted a large number
and the dance later attracted more.
Director Locker and his group of
talented bandsmen played an excel
lent program of ten or more numbers
for the concert and each and every
number was roundly applauded.
At $50, after the room had been
cleared of the chairs, the dancers
swarmed on the floor and it is safe
to say that the crowd was the larg-
est seen here for some time. The
band furnished excellent music. An
innovation which met with the ap-
proval of the dancers was the lack
of waits between dapces, the band
keeping at it almost continually up
to l o'clock after which they again
took their busses for the long trip
to Duluth.
At midnight, a lunch was served
by the Legion Auxiliary in the Mem
orial Cafeteria and nearly 500 were
served.
The Legion boys are to be congratu-
lated on their Judgment in furnish
ing the people of this city this high
class entertainment. The band was

box during their work. Troop No.
5 prepared delicious gelatine fruit
salad for the light luncheon. Troop
No. made the coffee and Troop No.
l served the luncheon to the guests.
These same troops contributed hcme-
made candy for sale which took
place at the same time and was most
successful. During the evening, the
Scouts served hot coffee and cookies
to all who came in. Through the
returns from the luncheon and the
sale of the cookies and candy which
disappeared completely, the Scouts
were able to rsalize quite sum for
their treasures.

JOHN TEkAUTz
SHOOTS WOMAN
THEN HIMSELF.
ETERNAL TRIANGLE CASE is
CAUSE OF DEATH OF TWO
BY MURDER AND SUICIDE
WRoNGED HUSBAND NOT IN
THE MESS.

During Sunday night at about /
o'clock, John Tekautz, aged "A years,
went to the Chandler Location and
after shooting to death Mrs. Angela
Vidervol with 30-30 carbine, turned
the gun on himself and inflicted
wounds from which he died at one
o'clock Tuesday morning.
The shooting evidently had been
planned by Tekautz who was enam-
oured Of Mrs. Vidervol, recently
divorced woman residing on Law
renee Street. One evening last week
he went to the home and in an argu-
ment beat up Mrs. Vidervol. A,war-
rant was issued for his arrest but he
could not be located by the officers.
During Sunday night he again went
to the place and before officers, who
had been summoned, could arrive,
he did the shooting which terminated
in the death of Mrs. Vidervol and
himself.
A divorce was granted the Wider
vol couple at a recent term of the
District Court in this city. Tekautz
was named as correspondent in the
divorce hearing. 1t was thought at
the time that all was serene between
them and that marriage would fol-
low the granting of the divorce.
Later it was learned that Tekautz
had a wife and family in the old
country.
Three shots were fired at the wom-
an at close range, two of them taking
effect. One bullet plowed a deep
furrow into her shoulder while an
other struck her in the right jaw,
almost completely tearing away the
half of her face with the mushroom
bullet. Her death was instantan-
eous. After shooting the woman,
Tekautz placed the muzzle of the gun
to his body and attempted to shoot
himself through the heart. The bull
let missed the heart but tore big
hole into his side. All hopes for his
recovery were abandoned after in
vestigation. He was removed to the
Shipman Hospital where he died as
above stated, twenty-four hours after
the shooting.
Mrs. Vidervol was 3S years of age.
Her funeral took place Wednesday,
a society of which she was member
conducting the funeral. The burial
of Tekautz took place yesterday and
he also was buried by the lodge of
which he was a member.

FORMER WINTON MAN
DIES AT HIBBING

Peter Karon, we'll known here and
at Winton, was found dead in the
Jewish synagogue at Hibbing early
last week. He had died of gas as

was turned on with suicidal intent.
His son, who went to the synagogue
in search of his father also narrowly
escaped the gas, he being revived at
the hospital. Mr.. Karon removed
to Hibbing from Winton where he
had been mayor and conducted a
store. He was At years of age and
is survived by his widow and two

WATCH LEFT TURNS is
RECOMMENDED FOR SAFETY.

Making wide, sweeping turns is
hazardous at all times, but more so
in winter when nearly all drivers
have their curtains or windows up.
Making a sweep to the right side of
the road before making a left turn
is particularly dangerous, says bull
letin from the State Highway depart
ment. The only safe way is to fol-
low the rule laid down in the traffic
laws, which provide that a motorist
intending to make left turn shall
slow down, drive near the center of
the street or road and give an ade-
quate signal. If he does this, traffic
going in the same direction will pass
safely on his right and he can watch
for gap and make his left turn
safely and with the least delay. A
right turn from the center of the
street is equally bad. The driver who
hugs the right hand curb avoids both
danger and delay.
