MAN KILLED ' |HALF A BY TRAIN M &L Runs Into Woodsman Lying by Track. BRAINS WERE DASHED OUT BY JOURNAL BOX. Two Bottles of Whiskey Found in Clothes Indicate Man Was Intoxicated. Philip Nash, a woodsman, was instantly killed by the M. & L passenger train No. 39 last night three miles north of Walker while the train was making its run north from Brainerd. The Cass county coroner was on the train at the time and the remains of the unfortunate man was turned over to him. The train was backed to Walker, where the body will be held awaiting the arrival of relatives. Fireman F. Bispham says that the train was rou.ding a curve when the accident occurred and the body of the man lying be- side the track was not seen un- til the train was nearly on to him, Apparently hearing the rumble of the approaching train, Nash sat up and his head was struck by the front journal box of the baggage car. His skull was shattered and his brains! dashed out, and death was in- stantaneous. He wouid very probably have escaped injury had he lain still. An examination of the clothing resulted in finding two bottles of whiskey, one of which was partly emptied, and it is thought that - the man was intoxicated and laid down to sleep. Conductor Smith states that the man has been employed at Spur 69 on the M, & I. He is ap- MILLION Passenger No. 39|Acres of Minnesota Land Will Be Offered for Sale By The State This Fall.

Five hundred thousand acres of state land will be sold at pub- lic auction this fall. The land is all in northern Minnesota and in speaking of the land which the state will offer for sale,C. H. Warner superintendent of the immigration bureau, said yester- day: “Half the area of the state is north of a line draw east and west through Brainerd, and with the exception of a narrow strip parallel with the Red River of the North, this vast area is almost wholly unappreciated by a large proportion of our own people, They have yet to realize that this section of the state is ultimately destined to be one of the richest dairying sections of the Uuited States; that itis well watered and wooded with the very finest ,natural meadows interspersed; that men who have traveled ex- tensively in this country and who are capable of giving expert opinions do not hesitate to give as their opinion that for natural adaptation to diversified farming this section of the state is not surpassed by any portion of like aréa in our entire country.

According to reports from Tenstrike today, the Robideau lake spur of'the M. & I. railway, which extends from Tenstrike east to Robideau lake, is to be discontinued, and it is stated that the work of tearing up the rails has already begun, The spur was built three years ago for the Walker & Akeley com- pany, which.owned large areas of pine lands in the vicinity of Rodideau lake. A large amount of the timber has been ‘cut off, and asa result there is little further use for the line.

Kile, some time ago, took a notion that Christian Science was about the only cure for human ills and following out his idea of the matter journeyed to Stephen to attend an orgy of Christian Scientists of that place. During the mestings he became quite fahatic over the new ‘‘creepy idea’’ and “faith cure all” pro position; and upon his return -to his home it was noticed that he acted strangely and constantly had his mind on Christian Science He even is reported as going so far as to try the effects of faith cure of ailments on his stock and is said to have-lost several fine horses, because of his refusal to veterinary upon the farm. He insisted that faith would cure them and in his endeavors to show his faith to the Lord broke down his health.

Bartram and G.and Keeper of Records and Seals Fred K. Wheaton—were present. The meeting was highly success- “.ful and the members of the local lodge received much good in- struction as the result of the visit of the state officers to Bemidji. The meeting commenced wilh the usual opening work, after which- the initiation of John A Cline took place. Following this Messrs. Bartram and Wheaton exemplified the secret work of the order, after which the meet- ing was adjourned to the Grill restaurant, where an elaborate banquet was served followed by speeches and toasts by the state officers and the members of the local lodge. Sixty-five members ‘were present at the meeting, The Cass Lake lodge, which was expected, sent a note to the per cent annual interest. There will be a list of fuily 500,000 acres from which to select. These lands will practically all be'lo cated in townships that are organized, conyenient to schools, churches, roads, villages and within reasonable distance of ruilway transportation. Buying land of the state at $5 per acre, 15 per cent cash and the balance on 40 years time at four per cent annual interest is a better prop- osition for the man of moderate means thanis fakinga govern- ment homestead. But if the government was about to open a small Indian reservation and ex- acting, in addition to the home- stead requirements, a payment of §2.50 per acre, there would be a large crowd of homeseekers on hand.” Mayos Will Celebrate Here.
