The (Bemidji) Pioneer
May 13, 1903

                   POLICE COURT:
                   
                   A Mill Park resident was fined by Judge
                 ACKENBACH yesterday for wife beating. Monday
                 night he was pulling his wife around by the
                 hair, near the new saw mill, when a switch
                 crew on the M. & I. interfered and came near
                 taking the law in their own hands. Had it not
                 been for a few cool heads the wife-beater
                 might have had a go for his money.
                   A woman 75 years old was found by the night
                 police in company with a male companion. Both
                 were landed in jail and the fined $5 and costs
                 by Judge ACKENBACH, and the woman was given a
                 chance to leave town.
                   FRANK RICHARDS got 30 days this morning for
                 lifting a watch from a drunken lumberjack last
                 night. His story of taking the watch to keep
                 until the other fellow sobered up didn't stick
                 with the court.
