ANOTHER VICTIM Little Robert Hitchcock Drowned In Lake Bemidji This Afternoon. WENT OUT TO PLAY AND WAS FOUND IN LAKE. Constant Work by Doctors Fails to Bring Back Life of Drowned Boy. Lake Bemidji claimed its sec- ond victim within a week a_little after noon today when Robert Hitchceock, the two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Hitch- cock was drowned.. The little boy was missed about one o’clock this afternoon and it was only fifteen minutes from the time he was missed to the time his dead body was found in the lake. Both gates of the fence around the residence were closed and it is a mystery how the little one was admitted from the yard. Four doctors have been working on the body since it was found, but their efforts had not been awarded with success up to the time of going to press. Robert was the youngest of two sons and was two years of age June 20. His parents are grief striken over the loss and Mrs. Hitchcock is prostrated by the shock.

Ness, a farmer living in the town of Frohn, took a hack ride in company with a number of oc- cupants of the tenderloin dis- trict, last night, and as a result he is minus $300 of good hard cash, but is much wiser, Ness arriven in the city yes- terday with several hundred dollars in his pockets and im- mediately proceeded to indulge in a number of drinks, and last night he decided to see the west end of town in all its glorv. He arrived safe enough, but on the return trip he was touched up for what money he had not spent during the day, and when he came to this morning he figured up and found that his hack ride had cost him in the neighborhood of three hundred dollars. Ness does not seem to be broken hearted over the loss of the money, and says that he still has a few pennies upon which to subsist, but that he will spend what he has left to find the per- petrators, if necessary.

Discovered By Cruiser a Short Time Ago, But Is 01d With the Indians. A cruiser who was working a few miles south of the village of Shevlin a short time ago discov- ered one of the most peculiar phenomena that has been his for- tune to see. While passing through a swamp he noticed a small opening filled with water and when he stopped to examine it he was surprised to notice that the water seemed to constantly revolve. He cast a stick into the whirlpool and it was immediately carried under the surface and did not come up again. He tried another, with the same result and continued throwing them in until a dozen or more had been swallowed up by the minature maelstrom. It is thought that the small lake is connected with an under- ground current which giyes it the peculiar property of taking downward anything that is thrown into it. Ithas been known to the Indians for generations, and is known to them as the “devil’s hole,” as it is said that an Indian who once stopped there to water his pony fell in and the body has never been recovered. MAD WILD CAT Crookston Man Held up by Wild Cat But Made His Escape Successfully. Crookston Journal: H. G. Eb- bighausen, of this city, who has spent the past week at Grand Rapids with friends and acquaint- ances, In company with Mrs. IEbbighausen, experienced a wild cat adventure in the woods south of Grand Rapids, several miles, which they donot care to have repeated. Mr. and Mrs. Ebbig- hausen were out in the big tim- ber berrying and in changing from one clump of raspberry bushes to another walked down the road several rods. They had hardly got started out, on the open roadway when a large black wild cat of the bob tailed variety also got into the road but several rods ahead and the cat, which was a monster, evi- dently thought he was entitled to the whole road, at least his bristley action and grovling led Mrs. Ebbighansen to repair immediately to the timber. Mr. Ebbighausen was unarmed and for a time feared a spring from the treacherous cat. He spruced up courage, however, and secur- ing a heavy cudgel advanced to the firing line in such a formid- able manner that the animal turned tail and fled through the timber. Mr. Ebbighausen, in relating the story of his adven- ture to his friends in the city last evening, stated that for a time he thought he would do pen- nance upon a stretcher for a while as the animal was the most feracious of the cat variety ever seen by him.
