FOOT SHOT ‘ Christ Bakken Sustains Bad Injury While Hunting Out From Northome. TAKEN TWENTY-FIVE MILES FOR AlD OF 6OCTOR. Arrives in City This Morning and Will Be Confined at St. Anthony’s. e The second serious accident to huaters during the five days tha have pa rday when Christ Bakken, a S of Ita: county, accidentally shot himself through the foot while out hunting with two com- panions. Bakken was talking to one of his companiens and was leaning on-his gun, holding the muzzle on his foot. In some manner the gun was discharged and the buliet almost tore the foot from his body. The men who were with him were horri- fied at the accident, which oc carred in the deep woods t ty five miles northeast of North- ome, and tried to devise some means of carrying the injured man to a doctor. _ They carried him for a time, but he became too heavy for them and they traveled several wiles to a homesteader’s cabin and st cured a horse. The horse was taken to where the injured man lay and the man was pl upon some poles which we stened together. Upon this ru: boat he was haunled to Northome, where the wound was dressed. The trip through the woods is de- claréd by Jens Jenson and Ole Lee, the injured man’s compan ions, to be the hardest one they ever took, as not the least sign of a road runs into that section of the country. When they arrived at Northome they were-entirely exhausted and could not have gone another mile for millions. The injured man was brought to Bemidji this morning and will remain at St. Anthony’s hospital, where he will be cared for. It is thought that amputation is un- necessary. Contractors: Here. D. P. Dolan and Thos. Halvor- son of Minneapolis, two railroad contractors. are in the city today and will look over the situation here regarding the work which is being done on the new Red Lake railway. Both gentleman haye had much experience in contracting for railroad work and will undoubtedly accept a con- tract for grading and cutting the right of way for a part of the new road.

THE FIRST First Car Load of Wheat Ever Shipped Out of Bemidii Shipped Yesterday. The first car load of wheat eyer shipped from Bemidji was yes- terday loaded and shipped to Duluth by the Bemidji Elevator company. Mr. Snow informs the Pioneer that the wheat was of an excellent grade for this year’s wheat, the kernels being plump and hard and of good color. In Mr. Snow’s opinion the wheat is wmuch better ‘than that received from the Red River valley this year. The shipping of this car load of wheat constitutes a land mark in the history of agriculiure in Bel- trami county. The county will probably never becime a great wheai producing county. its soil yield alarger profit in other pro- ducts but the time will neverthe- less come when a greas deal of wheat will be raised here, Not a Sick Day Since. “l° was taken severely sick with kidney trouble.
