McCarty, the well known lumberman, whose sawmill plant at Island Lake together with a large quantity of of cedar stock was destroyed by fire Wednesday was in' the city yesterday. Mvr. McCarty was not at home at the time the fire occurred. He says it originated from a spark from 'a focomotive-on one of the gravel | trains and before anything could be done to stop it ,it had gained such headway that it was beyond control. The loss is very heavy and is total as he carried no in- surance. : Frightful Accident.

FIGHT WILL NOT BE ABM—VBONED ————NEVERTHELESS: Town of Richards Knocked Out and Bena Wins a Big Yictory. * Word comes from Cass Lake today that the order made by the intorior department some time ago-ousting the sctilers ab the new town of Richards has been sustained by the interior depart- ment. % Between the towns of Richards and Bena there has been a sharp rivalry, not without bitterness.at times. Both towns are on the 1| reservationand this fact gave rise af to all the complications. A short time ago a well-known Cass Lake gentleman who is in- terested in the townsite of Rich- ards; went to Washington and-his special mission was to have the interior department delay the ejectment proceedings until an investigation of the actual condi- tions could be made. It now ap- .| pears that the investigation has deen made and that the order must stand. Theve is deep chagrin among the promoters of the Richards townsite and a like degree-of-joy in camp at Bena, where {he town- site promoters claim to have been shamefully manipulatedand down trodden. = The decision of the interior de- partment is sul tially to the effect that the 5 are squatters without the reservation and an order will probably be made for their re- moval forthwith, In anticipation of this fact the Richards men are already busy. They do not propose to give up the ficht and there will be interesting d ments-in-the-next.fe: CURIOUS FISH Rare Specimen of Finny Tribe Secured Last Week at Grand Rapids.

The fish weighed about eight pounds and its body was long and shapely with large scales. The dorsal fin extended from the middle of the back to the tail. 4 The tail was rounded like a horseshoe with the ends for the muscular part, and in_color its back much resembled a trout, while underneath it-was a bright green. This is a fish very sel- dom scen in fhese water, its home being farsher north, and even there, in small numbers. The Latin name for this fish is piscatorius tructa grer or green-bellied trout. Mr. Merry- man has this fish on exhibition at his residence. Miss Spencer Resigns.
