Who, Upon Investigation, Hear Signals Between Prisoners and Outsiders. What is believed by Deputy Sheriff John Bailey to have been an attempt at jail delivery was made last night and as a result a constant watch was kept up av at the jail during the remainder of the night to await develop- ments. Mr. Bailey was aroused about 10 o’clock at night by a suspi- cious sound from the jail as il a window had fallen to the ground. He at once set out to investigate and went around the jail, exam- ining the ground and the windows of the building, but after a search of a few minutes found nothing suspicious in the actions of the prisoners and decided that he had been mistaken, returning to the sheriff’s residence, which is immediately connected with the jail. He was not satisfied with the first examination, however, and went out to make another. He passed around the east and north sides of the jail and was justturning the northwest corner of the building when he noticed two men on the other side of the street directly opposite the jail. He waited a few minates when one of the men whistled as if sig- naling someone, and a similar whistle was repeated by an occu- pant of the jail. After this he heard one of the prisoners in the jail ery out “All is well,” He then took up a station at one of the windows on the west side and stood ready with a revolver to check the exit of anyone from the jail. He suddenly remem- bered, however, that his revoiver was empty and sent down town for ammunition. The carrier of the message undoubtedly misun- stood him, for upon the return of the messenger two police and about a hundred people who saw them hurrying to the jail,arrived, and all further attempt to appre- hend those who had been giving the signals was dismissed. The cells on the west side of the jail are occupied by prisoners who have been bound over to the fall term of district court, and it is thought that the affair was an attempt to release some of these. Nothing has developed as to who was doing the signaling and although a thorough examination of the jail has been made with a view to finding out whether an attempt to escape has occurred, PRINCESS * Grocery Co.

At the meeting of the city council Monday night one of the matters to be brought up for consideration will be the fair| proposition.

P. train two years ago, was shot down, after prob- ably fatally wounding one of the officers who was pursuing him.

He ran from there to the basement of T.ht' governor’s house, where he was CABIN BURNED Incendiaries Set Fire to Cabin of Robert Rassier Near Black- duck Village. The cabin of Robert Rassier, a homesteader who lives a short distance from Blackduck, was burned to the ground last Sat- urday, together with some cloth- ing and household goods. Homesteadersin that neighbor- hood have lately been troubled with incendis m, and a number jof other cabins have been fired, but in each instance the fire was discovered in time. It 1s also said that thieves have operated in that neighborhood and have stolen grain and vegetables from farmers. There are anumber of parties under suspicion and it is likely that ar will follow. LANDS CONTESTED Settlers in Chippewa Reservation Oppose Selection of Swamp Land. The State of Minnesota may lose 17,000 acres of land in the Chippewa reservattion having approximately 12,000,000 feet of pine valued at $75,000 to §1,000,- 000. This land had been selected by the state as swamp, and a year ago the seclection was ap- poved by the general land office, after the state auditor and Com- missioner W. A. Richards of the general land office held a con- ference in Washington. The settlers on the reservation, how- ever, filed a protest, on the ground that the land is not swamp, and the commissioner of the general land office appointed a commi m to _ascertain whether it is swamp, and there- fore the property of Minnesota. This commission is now at work on the reservation, getting evidence as to the nature of the land. Although the general land office is sole judgeof this question Commissioner Richards allowed Minnesota to be represented on the commission, W. D. Douglass of Washington represents the the general land office and O. H, Case of Fountain the Smte of Minnesota. The land is in 50 tracts dis- trubted about thirty-six town- ships. and much of the timber on it has been blown down, so that the stat auditor has decided to offer the timber for sale as soon as the decision of the gen- eral land office is ed, provided that Minnesota gets the land.
