ft\tnn., New* Poea Not Speak Very Flattering
-    of Rev.  Tlney—flr. Clark's Integrity Waa
Never Questioned In HIbbing-"Owned a Meat
Hurket and Well LIKed.
As was stated in our last issua the case
against 3, 0; Olark, the defaulting ex-
murslial of Farwell,  had been   settled,
which was brought about  by  tho  good
people of thut place petitioning Prosecuting Attorney Quinr: requesting that tho-
=*matter- be settled without further prA-
ceedinge..   That the citizens of Farwell
acted with good judgment is evidenced
hy«,the fact that now Mr. Clark, is trying
f- Ave as near to tho golden rule as pos-
§m&, and it is not a good policy to forever condemn a man who has made a
mistake.
The following is from  the Hibbiiig
4^Sfiaii,} News, and gives the story of his
arrest and how it came about:      *     "
"The citizens of Hibbing weJ-e much
surprised last Friday when they read in a
Duluth paper of tho arrest for embezzlement of J. C. Smith, ono of Hibbing's
oldest inhabitents and a wellknown busi-
^.__ness man here. It is said that our J. G.
Snath is in reality John Clark and pre-
__vions to three years ago ho -was a rosi-
~ "don't of Farwell, Mich., where he was the
village marshal. Mr. Olark brought up
iatHibbing about two years ago, being
one of the first settlors. Some months
later he purchased a lot on Pine street
and erected a building upon it in which
lie opened up a meat "market. He was
apparently inexperienced at the business
but this fact tended to make him more
popular with his customers as he bought
none but tho Taest of meats and sold them
at a close margin and consequently divided tho profits with bis customers. In all
■ of his dealings here ho was regarded as
an honest, upright man and his integrity
was never brought into question.
It appears that his identity was first
discovered -by the Eev. S. 0. Tiney, so
called, who formerly boarded with the
- Jj£|uvfc family and knew him and his family
._ well. Tiney came away from that part
of Michigan before the Clark opsiode,
and in tbe course of events wandered up
to Duluth -where he met Key. Mr. Shan-
.-..-. nc-n, "presiding elder, who sent him to
preach the gospel to the natives of Bibbing and Eveletk. While in craest of
* 'getfptS' 1»assisfeMmih 6httrch work here
ha was referred to Mr. Olark, who was
presented as Mr. Smith. He was dum-
lonnded, but said nothing except to one
of the brothers in confidence. A few
days'later he met a lady on the train, an
old ncquaintonce from Glare county.
Mich., who among other items of news
jnentioned tho sudden disappearance of
iMhnOlaik who had never been heard
f||vn and was believed by many to be
dead. The whole secret then came out
and a few days later tho Olave county
sheriff accompanied by Mr. Clark's bondsman were on their, way to the
Mesabi range armed with the necessary papers including requisition papers.
They stopped at .Duluth over night and
as'thoy stepped up to purchase tickets
for Hibbing accompanied by a Duluth*
deputy, they encountered Mr. Glark, who
was iu the- act of purchasing a ticket.
The arrest followed and the prisoner was
• taken to Farwell tho next day.
s(ays that on a short lino ot improve.!
road ho saves 66 per cent of the cost of
hauling coal. Nearly all the roads oon^
necting the larger towns will soon bo in
first class order for anything from a bicy-
olo to a coal wagon. The Old Bay State-
will be more valuable than ever*
Seriously Scalded.
Floyd, tho little threo year old son oi!
J. Martin, was badily scalded Monday by
accidently falling into a pail of hot water.
Medical aid was summoned at once and
all done that could be to alleviate the
sufferings of tho child and at this timo is
doing as well as can be expected.
They Took a Tumble.
Sometime last Saturday night «r Sunday mcruing tho shelving on the north
side of J. Immerman's store, became unbalanced and toppled over. The goods
were scattered around promiscuously, but
Monday morning the chaos was rounded
into form, and tho store put into order
to receive their many customers.
c Lost His Fingers.*
While working on tlie heading saw at
the tub and pail factory Monday morning.
Arthur Mortz, oldest son of Peter Mortz,
had the misfortune to get his right hand
thrown against the saw by a belt while
cleaning away under it, and as a result,
his third and fourth fingers were completely severed and tho second cut half off as
well as the first finger being seriously injured, Ho was taken to his home • and
Dr. Sanford called in and the wounds
dressed. Arthur, is filer at the factory
and a very xiseful employe. The accident
was a shook to his parents and friends.

^Il the following from the Hibbing,
(Minn.) News is not correct, that paper
should be made to apologize:
-'-Thfr liev. S. 0. Tiney was lip Monday
to bid his friends hero "good bye" and
-oDttdn ir.onuj~ uiiotigh t-o taks; -him fesels
to liis homo in Michigan, from whence,
in all probability, he will not return to
-tbis.localit-y. He is charged "with conduct unbecoming a man of bis profession, and'it is said that he is won't to
"look upon the wine when it is red" and
is otherwise carnally weak in the flesh."

We have "learned from a reliable source
that the people of Brinton have had a
desperate struggle for the past week
fighting fire; Stessd ,&- Hammpnd>s; niili
was burned with several thousand feet of
logs and lumber, 200 cords o£ wood and
the dwelling house of Wm. Davidson.
Mrs. Loretta Terry died at her home in 'j
Slab town, last Saturday evening. She
has resided hero about three years. She
leaves a husband, two sons and two
d aughters to mourn her loss. The funeral
services were conducted by the Latter
Day Saints and the remains were interred
in the Gilmore cemetary.
We had a school meeting on Monday
evening and we are unable as yet to figure
out what they were trying to get at. It
reminds one of a lot of sheep, with two
holes in the fence and a gate
wide open and they trying to
get out of the two holes. Tho all important question with them was, that the
primary room is overcrowded and they
are trying to make more room. It eeems
to us a foolish idea to tuck 75 orlOO little
children up in the second story, in a
frame building, heated with wood stoves,
but some people never stop to think of
value of their children to "them, when
tho cost to each, of tearing down the
petition between the lower rooms, would
only amount to a few cents each, They
=did«nasensibleiiinstJiowev£>r._,and that
was to vote money to have a stone foundation under the school building.
