CRAZY MAN FOUND DEAD Inmate of Padded Cell at Crookston Escapes Thru Window. MET DEATH UNDER NORTHERN PACIFIC BRIDGE. Frenzied With Liquor, Matt Mc- Cormick Meets Sad and Un- timely Death. The following is taken from the TO BUILD A COURT HOUSE Bonds Will Probably Be Voted Today by Clearwater County Commissioners. The county commissioners of Clearwater county met today at Bagley to consider thé advisa- bility of issuing bonds in the sum of $14,500 for the erection of a court house at Bagley. The recent legislature passed a bill which makes it pessible for boards of county commissioners in certain cases to do this and it is believed that action to this end Crookston Journal of yesterday: Last night shortly after mid- night Matt McCormick. who was confined toa padded cell at the St. Vincent hospital, jumped through a window, badly wound- ing his arm and after wandering about for several hours, meta miserakle death under the North- ern Pacific bridge. He was con- fined to the hospital with an acute case of alcoholism and becoming wild, was contined toa padded cell on the ground floor. He suc- ceeded in climbing up to the little window in the cell which is used for air and light, and break- ing the glass, dropped to the ground. In breaking the win- dow he badly wounded one of his arms, which bled profusely. He wandered down to the Northern Pacific bridge over the tracks and evidently stopped first and leaned on the railing. Later he crawled down under the bridge, nearly reaching the track where he was found by the police this morning stone dead. The police were notified of his escape at 1:30 o’clock and a search was instituted but was vain until daylight when the offi- cers were able to track the man by the trail of blood left behind. The remains were taken to Chest- erman’s undertaking rooms and will be privately buried unless relatives are found. McCormick worked as foreman of the Willkin- son farm at one time, but little is known of him, GAVE THEM RECEPTION Polk County Honors Senator Stephens. and Repre- sentative Bennett.- - Last evening at Crookston a complimentary reception and banquet was tendered Senator A. D. Stephens and Representa- tive B. S. Bennett by the busi- ness men of Crookston in recognition of their effective work for drainage and the estab- lishment of an agricultural school at Crookston, the first of its kind to be established in the United States. The affair was attended by one hundred and fifty guests from all parts of the northwest. An elaborate banquet was served and toasts were responded to by Congressman Steenerson, Sena- tor Stephens, Representative Bennett, Superintendent Hover- stad of the Hxperimental Farm and Col. R, A. Wilkinson of St, Paul. KNIFE THRUST ENDS IN DEATH Austrian Murdered by Un- identified Man at Eveleth. Two lie dead in the morgue at at Eveleth. Peter, an Austrian, whose last name is not known, ‘was seen running out of a house between 9 and 10 last night and was followed by another man who stabbed him in the back of the neck, the knife issuing from under the chin. The man died while being taken to a hospital half a block away. The murder 18 probably due to drinking.

The big swamp between Ripple and Northome is not proving the money making proposition for the contractors on the M. & I.as it was generally supposed that it would be. The following article from the Big Fork Compass fur- nishes quite a little ‘information as to the headway being made. Railroad work on the M. & 1. extension between Ripple and Stoner has not progressed very rapidly the past two weeks,since the swamp began to waken from its winter’s sleep. Too much moisture and two little drainage has been the.complaint. The men have cold feet as a result of wet feet and have been-quiting in droves, deserting many sections, in places of insufficient security. GREENBUSH THE TERMINUS ; Great Northern Will Not Ex- tend Its Line From Green- bush to Roseau. Notwithstanding newspaper re- ports and the positive assurances of Great Northern officials, the road will not be extended from Greenbush to Roseau, says the Roseau Times. A prominent man identified with business in terests in Roseau and a stock- holder in the Northern Securi- ties Co., was told by Col. Wilkin- son that the promised road would not be bunilt. “That is all we want to know,” said the gentle- man, ‘“we will look elsewhere.” There is no useof longer wait- ing declares the Times. Mr. Hill has for the past ten years proclaimed publicly and in pri- vate that he would ‘“build no more roads in Minnesota.” Itis a matter of sentiment and not a matter of business with Mr. Hill and the farmers of Roseau county will have to leave Mr. Hill with his sentiment and no longer “hug the delusive phantom of hope” but act as the exigency demands. WILL VISIT RESERVATIONS Commissioner Leupp of the Indian Bureau to Tour - Northern Minnesota. Commissioner Leupp of the Indian bureau at Washington has left the national capital on a tour of inspection of Indian agencies that will last for atleast three months. Mr. Leupp will travel throughout the United States and will spend some time in northern Minnesota at the Red Lake, Chippewa, Leech Lake and Winnibigoshish agencies. It is expected that Mr. Leupp will ar- rive in northern Minnesota some time in June. NOTIFIED TO - BE GOOD Cass Lake Tells Lawbreak- ers to Suspend During Grand Jury. When the spring term of dis- trict court opened at Walker, or shortly before, the mayor of Cass Lake, in a printed circular noti- fied the saloonkeepers, gamblers, proprietors of disreputable houses and other lawbreakers of during the session of the term. The circular, which was pre- sented to all those upon whom it was thought that it would affect, was signed by the mayor and attested by the recorder, and stated that orders from the grand jury were to the effect that the state law must- be strictly that city to observe the state law| The rains and the melting of snow and frost has filled the ditches along the grades, and the swamp districtis so level that it is impossible to quickly carry the water away from the work without the diggingof lengthy counter drains. Had grading work beguna month earlier, the worst sections would now be finished. Present conditions are very unfavorable for rapid progressin ““fills,”’ and the difficulty in keeping men at work in the mud adds to the de- lay. ANOTHER RAILROAD 'Line Will Be Built from Duluth to Winnipeg Says Railroad Man. According to the opinion of a man prominent in railroad ecir- cles at Duluth, a line will be built in the near future from that city to Winnipeg, crossing the M. & I. at a point between Northome and Ripple. Aninterview with the gentleman published in the Du- luth Herald states that the reason for building the new road is that the spring shipment of grain from southern Canada to the markets of the United States is seriously hindered because of the lateness of the annual break- up of the navigable lakes and rivers. Providing the line is built the shipping of grain from Winni- peg to Duluth could commence some two weeks earlier than un- der present conditions. Itis stated in the interview that work will probably commence in the near future. The name of the company backing the project is notgiven. WILL START - BOAT LINE Direct Communication From Koochiching With Bau- dette and Warroad. For the first time direct com- munication is to be established between Koochiching and War- road. The steamer Knute Nel- son, which was built at Warroad late last fall, 1s to ply between that point and Baudette, at which place it will connect with the Itasca of the Northern Minnesota Navigation company. It is the intention to put on a tri-weekly service. This will prove a saving to the merchants of Koochiching, as heretofore it has always been necessary to send shipments in- tended for Warroad over to Fort Frances by ferry and then haye them loaded upon the cars of the Canadian Northern railway. Woman Attempts Suicide. There is sensation at Beltrami, where yesterday, just before dinner, Jessie Regedal swallowed carbolic acid, She is the daugh- ter of the landlady of the Belt house, and is 27 yearsold.

Examination Resultsin Clearing Away all Doubt of His Sanity. Soren Sorenson, the Buena Vista postmaster and justice of the peace, was tried for insanity before Probate Judge Clark “to- ‘day. The trial started at 10 o’clock this morning and lasted until about 3 this afternoon. The result was the discharge of Mr, Sorenson, - The examination was conducted by Judge Clark, At- torney Scrutchin, Dr. A. E. Hen- derson and Dr. A. Gilmore. About 20 witnesses were exam- ined. The arrest of Mr. Sorenson is the result of a quarrel which has been prevalent among the differ- ent factions at Buena Vista for several years past. The town- ship of Buena Vista is admitted to beone of the most trouble- some townships in the whole county. and while the majority of the people of the township are good, law-abiding citizens, there are a number of residents who have made ita custom for the past five or six years to stir up trouble at every opportunity. Times in Buena Vista have been strenuous for many moons past, and the double office of postmaster and justice of the peace has been a hard lot for the aged gentleman who today was examined as to his sanity. To meet the strenvous conditions existing, it has been natural for Mr, Sorenson to use strenuous measures, and, like Jefferson, stretch his power to a certain ex- tent. Inone instance, it is claim- ed, and a witness testified to the fact while on the stand this afternoon that Sor- enson at one time arrest- ed, tried, convicted, sentenced and committed to the county jail another resident of Buena Vista and appointed a special constable to take the man to Bemidji. Other things tending to show that Mr. Sorenson was unbalanc- ed n mind were sworn to, but after all the witnesses had been examined this afternoon, Soren- son took the stand and told his side of the story, which resulted in his final discharge. While being examined he did not seem to be disturbed atany prospect of being committed to the asylum, and his actions were perfectly rational. He ques- tioned several of the witnesses and seemed to be wmentally sound. Tired out, worn out women cannot sleep, eat or work; seems as if she would fly to pieces.

Kidney trouble often ends fatally, but by choosing the right medicine, E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, Iowa, cheated death.

Property Loss is-Yet Small But Serious Results May Yet Fellow. Northern Minnesota, especi- ally in the immediate vicinity of Bemidji, is enveloped in a pall of smoke from forest fires. -Scores of fires are burning in woods and slashings, and although the losses reported so far are com paratively small, serious results may follow. A blaze which originated about a week agoon theeast side of Bemidji lake is still burning briskly, and unless measures are taken to prevent the spread of the flames a wide belt of valu- able standing pine will be en- dangered. The dry weather which has been prevalent for several weeks past has made the woods as dry as tinder, and after a blazeis once started asmall wind will over miles of territory. Chairmen of the boards of sup- ervisors in townships are desig- nated by law as fire wardens, and in many townships through- out Beltrami county vigerous measures have been taken to pre vent the spread of the flames, and in some cases their efforts have resulted in success. sEEEQ?GE@‘:E'IE&SE.\: T00 LATE T CLASSIFY.
