WOODSMAN IS FROZEN| Both Hands - and Feet of : C. H. Vandevord Has Har- rowing Experiences in Woods Near Blackduck. BECAME LOST WHILE GOING OUT TO WORK. Found By Al Benner With Blood Streaming From Mouth— Amputation Necessary. C. H. Vandevord, a woodsman ‘who has been employed at one of the lumber camps of Irwin & O’Brien 35 miles northwest of Blackduck, was brought to the city yesterday by Allan Benner, a cruiser, suffering with two very badly frozen feet, and Dr. Fow- ler, who is attending the man, states that the amputation of at least one of the frozen members will be necessary. Vandevord lives at 1003 Beltrami avenue in the city and has a wife and one child. He has been employed at one of the camps of Irwin & O’Brien during the winter but last week went to Blackduck to secure treatment for an injury sustain- ed at the camp. He started back to the camv on Friday morning but before reaching it became lost in the dense woods and wandered away. As soon as he realized the danger of his position he started to haloo as loudly as possible in hope of attracting some passing pedestrian, but his efforts were in vain and he was compelled to remain in the woods over night. When found by Mr. Benner he was nearly dead from the intense cold and, could not talk. Blood was streaming from his mouth as a result of halooing and he was so benumbed with cold that he could hardly drag himself along. He was taken to Blackduck at ouce, and his feet were dressed, after which he was taken to this city by team. He is at present confined to his home on Beltrami avenue awaiting an operation to amputate the injured feet. When You Have a Cold. The first action when you have a cold should be to relieve the lungs. This is best accomplished by the free use of Chambherlain’s Cough Remedy. This remedy liquefies the tough mucus and causes its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, produces a free expectoration, and opens the secretions. A complete cure soon follows.

James Hirschay of Nebish is plaintiff in a contest case which promises to be one of the most interesting litigations ever heard before the U. S. land office at Cass Lake and Mr. Hirschay, to- gether with Attorney E. B. Mec- Donald, attorney for plaintiff,and P. J. Russell, attorney for the defendant, went to Cass Lake this afternoon to appear and of- fer evidence. Fullerton is a man who died at Nebish last fall and who owned a homestead near that village. He has no living heirs and the ground upon which the contest is instituted is that he died intestate. GRAHAM MAY BE A CANDIDATE If Ludington Persists in Re- fusal Member of 0OId Couneil Will Run. +If Mayor Ludington does not run for the office this spring, either myself or Mr. Bowser will be a candidate for mayor,” said Councilman John Graham this morning. He added “We still have hopes of gaining his con- sent torun.” The abeve state- ment is significant inasmuch as it 'sets to rest above all doubt about the willingness of every member of the council, with the exception of Mayor Ludington, to malke another run. The person- nel of the body, if Mayor Lud- ington does not run, will be only slightly changed, and the policy of the council will remain practic- ally as it is today. Councilman Bowser said . this forenoon that he did not intend to be a candi- date for mayor. BAILEY IS A LITTLE BETTER Condition of Attorney L. H. Bailey Reported as Some- what Better.

A decision in one of the most long drawn out and interesting contest cases ever tried in this section was received ye'sterday by Attorney Henry Funkley of this city, who appeared for the plaintiff in the case.

WEATHER GOOD FOR LOGGING Al Cold Weather Brings Smile to Face of Northern Minnesota Logger. The weather is ideal for log- ging, and most of those in the woods are getting along very fast, though there will be the usual number of belated individ- vals at the close of the season. There is not too much snow for skidding, and the winter has been cold enough of late for ex- cellent ice roads, while the cost of logging has not been too high. Men have not been hard to handle and their pay is about the rate of post years. The diminu- tion of logging operations, as a whole, has been made up, so far as employment is concerned, by an increase in the amount of rail- way construction in this secticn is larger than usual, At the Point of Death. 0.
