St. Cloud Times: The Great | Northern depot officials phoned the local police this morning that there was a crazy man at the de- pot, walking around with a live chicken under his arm and a tus- sock ever his shoulder. He was also alleged to be somewhat de- ficient in mental capacity. The officers left for the depot at once, but were unable to locate him or any of his appurte- nances. Laver a message from the Rau saloon on Highth ave- nue north stated that the man wanted was there. Chief Quinli- van and Officer E1 Brick went and arrested him. The man proved to be a_fellow named Cavanaugh, and instead’ of being crazy, was found to be simply crazy drunk. He was locked up in police headquarters to await sobering. A search of his tussock revealed besides a quanity of old clothes of his own, a lady’s jacket, skirt, a couple of shirt waists, etc. Itis S\lppos(,tl that he raided someone’s clothes line néar the Great Northern and that the owuer will notify—the - police'in due season. Cavanaugh claims to have arrived yesterday from Blackduck and to be on his way to Foley. He also mur- mured something between breaths about having a claim at Park Rapids and about being married. T0 BUILD SPURS Lumber Companies Want Spurs For Transportation of Logs From Woods. 8 A number of logging spurs will probably be built this sum- mer, and work will no doubt be' plentiful in this section during the season for railroad building. One spur is already in course of construction near Kelliher, which will be used by the Crookston Lumber Co., and it is expected that worls will commence soon on another to be extended north from Wilton for the useof Walker & Akeley, who own a large amount of pine in that section. There is also some talk of extend- ing the Solway spur, which is now built- from Solway to Mal- lard, some miles ‘farther south. This is also used by the Walker & Akeley people. - Lumber com- panies interested in pine in the vicinity of Cass Lake expect soon to close negotiations with the Great Northern for extending a spur from a point a few miles east of Cass Lake into the heavily timbered country to the east. The buildir.g of all of these will employ-a large number of men during the entire: summer and probably late into the fall, and local employment offices expecta very busy season. — SOLD BOOZ E U. S.

Practically every busi- ness man in the city was anxious to do something for her, and in view of this fact Miss Villemin’s magniticent run is wonderful. Miss Villemin did practically nothing, while active work in her behalf was undertaken only within the past few days. The ‘contest has been a real popular- ity contest and it is doubtful if there are two more popular young ladies in northern Minne- sota.
