ITASCA COUNTY ATTORNEY WILL PROSECUTE. Manslaughter Charge to Be Placed Against Man Who Made Mistake. W. E. Gilson, a well known young sportsman of Minneapolis, may have to face a serious charge in the courts of Itasca county for shooting Ole Evebo, whom he mistook for a rabbit in the brush. Evebo died Saturday at St. Mary’s hospital, West Superior. The residents and authorities of Itasca county are stirred up over the matter, The statelaw now provides that a man shall be charged with manslaughter if he kills a human being through carelessness in hunting. Gilson, who is employed in the baggagerooms at the Minne- apolis union passenger station, was hunting about two weeks ago with a party of friends near Spring Lake, 1tasca county. On the last morning of their hunt they went out to bring in their deer and prepare for their re- turn home. On the road they shot rabbits for the sport of it, and as the underbrush was thick, they had to shoot quickly. Suddenly the hunters thought they spied a rabbit in the brusk and Gilson raised his rifle and shot with the uswnal alertness. He was horritied to hear a scream of pain from the brush and, rushing into the thicket, he| found Evebo unconscious and the blood flowing from a wound in his groin. He had been work- ing for Dempsey & Dcugherty, contractors, and his white skin] had been mistaken for tha rab- bit seen a few minutes before. man to the camp and a physician was summoned, who ordered him sent to the Superior hos- pital. His thigh was shattered and he was badly injured in- ternally. He lingered in an un- conscious state until Saturday, Although the shooting was purely accidentul and witnessed by Gilson’s friends, George H.! Spear, the county attorney of Itasca county, will probably prosecute according to the law, Mr, Gilson is almost prostrated by the affair, and he even re- mained some time with Evebo at the hospital. Before he died, Evebo said he did not blame Gil- sop, as he might have done the same thing himself, OFFICERS ARE ELECTED A. 0. U. W. Lodge Held Elec- tion Last Night—Supper and Dance Afterward.

Details of the shooting at Mal: lard which caused the death of a man there Friday afternoon man killed was William Arle of Park Rapids and his death was caused by the accidental dis- charge ot a rifle which he carried. Arle, together with his son and three others, had reached Mal- lard from Park Rapids, intend- ing 10 work at Mallard vhis win- ter. They were not quite pre- pared to g0 10 Wors and went out hunting Friday. They hunted during the forencon without any suceess and in the afterncon the party separated, Arle and an- other member of the party named Peterson going together and the other three men taking a different direction.

Washington, Dec 4 —A¢t least two bills pruviding for impor- tant changes in the land laws will be introduced at the ap- proaching session of congress. One will provide for repeal of the timber and stone act, aad the other will make it possible for purely agricultural land in for- est reserves to be acquired by settlers under the homestead law. Representative Lacey, chair- man of the house committee on public lands will introduce both of these measures in the house. “Siuce the amendment of the desert land Jaw in 1891,” said Mr. Lacey, “‘a majority of the land frauds have been under the forest lieu land law and the timber and stone act. At the last session the forest lie law was repealed, and I think the time has come for the repeal of the timber and stone act. Two years ago I introduced a bill to repeal this law and it did not get out of the committee, a majority being against it. Since that time the land fraud inyestigations in Oregon and other states bhave thrown much light on the work- ings of the timber and stone act and the necessity for its repeal is much more apparent.” Dr.J. Warninger left this af- ternoon for Bena, where he will spend a few days on professional business. 0. U.

William O’Neil, superintendent of logging on the Chippewa In- dian reservations under the Mor- ris law, says there will be fifty camps operating under this law this winter. The camps will aver- age seventy men each, or a total of 8,500. ‘““We have too much snow and too little frost in the ground for good logging conditions,” said Mr. O'Neil. ‘“Under these cir- cumstances logging will be dif- ficult unless we have some soft weather and followed by a hard freeze. The snow acts as a! blanket for the unfrozen ground | and water under it. | «Men are now quite plentifil and the labor famine of a few! weeks ago is ended. The loggers | are all ready to go ahead strong, and were the swamps frozen they would haye nothing to complain of. ! “I beleve that thereis from | 300,000,000 tn 400,000.000 feet of ; pine y t to be sold and the secre-f tary of the interior may if he' thiasks best demand that this pinebe sawnon the reservations.” Rev.
