CLAIM THEY HAVE LINE Party of Surveyors Have Been at Work Making Survey Through Buena Vista. ASSERTED BY THEM THAT NEW LINE I> FEASIBLE. Buena Vista Delegation Now in Conference With Railroad Officials. Another survey has just been completed by Alphonse Crawford and two ciyil engineers from Stillwater for the new Red Lake railway and it is asserted by them that the line which was de- cided as being impracticable some time ago could be ussd by the company. They have spent considerable time in running a line through Buena Vista, as the citizens of that town are anxious to secure the road and have made several efiorts to induce the railway to locate its line so as to strike it. The old line which was sur- veyed by Mr. Stoner’s crew is used almost entirely and only a few changes have been made. It is asserted that the new survey is as good if not better than the one which the company has contem- plated using and that no trouble will be experienced should the railway be located along this route. A delegation of citizens from Buena Vista have gone to Minne- apolis to confer with the railway officials and every effort will be made by them to induce the com- pany to build the road so as to strike Buena Vista. It is claimed by those who were instrumental in securing the re- snrvey that the line can be changed in such manner that the work that has already been done upon the road will not be wasted Chamberlain’s C;ugh Remedy Is Pleasant to Take.

During the time that he has been here Mr., McLeod has had several offers from the west and about a year ago he seriously considered a call from Oakland, California, But at that time he decided that it was better for the church work here that he ac cept the urgent appeal of the peo- ple to stay at least—another year.

Duluth News Tribune: The News Tribune is informed by a prominent railroad man that the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic road claims an original contract| with the old Duluth & Winnipeg road, which contract is a part of che bond mortgage, giving the South Shore the right to operate trains over the Duluth & Winni- peg branch from. Duluth to Foss- ton at any time during-the life of the Winnipeg road and that now the South Shore proposes to ex- ercise its right under that con- tract and commence operating trains over.the road connecting with the new line of the Soo at a point about seven "miles from Fosston. Itis claimed that the rental provided for in this contract is forty cents per train mile which is consided very moderate. The South Shore will have to build a connection from Fosston to a point on the Soo line about seven miles from Fosston and it is expected that the road will be operating trains over the. new route in about three months.

DRYHAUG STILL THINKS HUSBAND WAS MURDERED. Protests That Suspi_ciousCfieum- stances of the Letter and Money Point to Murder. " Deputy Coroner Marcum re- turned this morning from Shot- ley, where he went to view the Body of Jacob Dryhaug, the Shotley postmaster who was drowned while returning home on the evening of October 22 af- ter having spent the evening with friendsat the townsite of Shotley which is situated about two miles from where the postoffice is located. Mr. Marcum made a minute examination of the remains but found nothing that pointed to foul play and “he expressed the opinion today that the stories circulated to the effect that Dry-| haug was murdered were not well founded as not the least signs of violence were found up- on f.he body. The body has lain in the water for over a month and as a result was in a bad state of . decomposition when found about a mile from his home on Red Lake. His pockets when found contained $4.65 in silyer, $60 in checks and $200 in notes and due bills, bes1des his watch. Mrs. Dryhaug still is of the opinion that her .husband was murdered, as she claims that on the day before he disappeared he had-a $20 bill and this was not found upon his person in the search made by Mr. Marcum. She also gives reason for her be- lief that Mr. Dryhaug met his -death as a result of foul play the peculiar circumstance connected with the letter which he carried previous to his disappearance and which turned up about a week afterwards. Her Ubelief is not shared by the settlersin that vicinity, however, who declare his death due to accident. A’ yet it haSnot been decided by Mrs. Dyrhaug whether she will institute an investigation of the circumstances surrounding her husband’s ~ disappearance, but it is thought that if such a course is pursued the meagre details obtainable would prevent a conviction even should an arrest follow. The body will be interred in thecemetary at Shotley thisafter- noon. DROWNED AT PARK RAPIDS John Winship Loses Life at Park Rapids While Try- ing to Save Companion: _ John Winship, the eighteen year old son of Dr. Winship of Park Rapids, was drowned at the mill pond in that city yester- day afternoon while trying to save the life of Perce Ressler, another boy about the same age. Both boys were skating when young Ressler fell through the thin ice, having ventured too near the center of the pond. His cries for help attracted Winship, who went tohis aid and had almost succeeded in rescuing his drown- ing companion when he, too went in. He was fatigued by his ex- ertions in behalf of his compan- ion and sank almost immediately to the bottom of the pool. Ress- ler was afterwards dragged from the- pond slmost insensible by others who appeared upon the scene, It is understood that Winship has relatives in this city. From South Africa.—New Way of Using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. ¢ Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Afri- ca, says: ““As a proof that Cham- berlain’s . Cough Remedy is.a cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following: A neigh- ber of mine had a child just over two months old. It had.a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I sug- gested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and put some. upon the dummy teat the baby was suck- ing it'would no: doubt cure the child. This they did and bronght :11 about a quick relief and cured the baby.” This remedy is for sale by Barker’s Drug store. e hves ‘of hundreds of the s,mmals JAPS REPULSED WITH HEAVY LOSS| St. Petersburg, Nov: 28.—The war office has received frord|« ool M.

MUCH SPECULAT{ON AS TO IDENTITY QF COMPANY. Some Think That Dowie Colony Will Be Started While Others Aver Not. The actions of a mysterious company of investors who_have been operating near Blackduck for some time past have caused considerable speculation as to what the purpose of the company is among people from that city and in facb throughout nearly the entire northera portmn of the county. Last week a deal was closed and the money paid in for the purchase of 2,000 acres of land in Blackduck township, the consideration being $70,000, but the names of the buyers - could not be found out and it seems that it will take a month yet be- fore the identity of the mysteri- ous company will be revealed. The sellers are a company of gentlemen, one of whom resides in Bemidji, but when approached regarding the subject yesterday he said that he was not at lib- lerty at the-present time:-to give out the names of the parchasers. It is' confidently stated by some that Jabe Hines, the Black- duck Doweite, is at the bottom of the deal and is buying the land for the purpose of starting a sec- that this thoery is not true buf that Booker T. Washington in- tends to locate a colony of neg- roes upon the land. The land purchased is near to Hines Spur, where Mr. Hines eral other large enterprises is rife among the citizens ‘who live in that vicinity. Already anumber of buildings are being erected upon ‘the land which has been purchased and it would not be ‘surprising in the least if a city on the order of the Zion city would spring up. _Tips of the Tongue E. F. Crawford: “There is no reason why ‘the people of Black- duck should object to the estab- lishment of either a negro colony or of a Dowie colony near that city. Theicompany now buying }lands in that vicinity is one of the strongest that ever sturck Beltrami county and will be of much benefit to its citizens.”’ Judge Pendergast: “That idea of putting the prisoners at the county jail to work is a good one. Hereafter they will either ‘be employed on the county roads or they will-be compelled to cut wood- at the county poor farm thereby cutting down the ex- nishing wood for the county.”’ Citizen: “Precauntions should be taken by parents against al- lowing their children to skate on the thin ice on Lake 1rvine. Yes- terday a number of boys who were skating went through the ice and it was only cn account of the shallowness of the water where they went in that they were not drowned:”’ E. A. Schneider: ‘Businéss is good. . The cold wave that swept over this part of the coun- try last night and today has re- ‘minded the people that they need ‘wiuter clothing and we did an excellent business all day today.’’ C. H.
