| I TRAINMEN HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Caboose Leaves Track, Tips Guy C. Aubol Slays Bemidii!Boat Capmes in. Rod River Over and. Afterwards Catches. Fire. Two trainmen on the M. & I, one a conductor and the other a bra.keman, narrovly escaped death by suffocation Saturday morning when the caboose of the log train upon which they were working left the track north of Blackduck. turned over and afterwards caught fire. Both men were in _the caboose at t.he time but owing to the peculiar position in which the car was placed were unable to make their escape. The overturning of the caboose tipped the stove oyer and the car caught fire immedi- ately. The head brakeman, who #had noticed the accident, ran to the overturned car and after sev- eral efforts sncceeded in opening the door of the caboose and re- leasing the two men, who were nearly suffocated by the smoke, The ‘caboose was destroyed by the fiames.

Fuller- ton, executive agent of the state game and fish commission, has inaugurated his annual spring campaign for the collection of wall-eyed pike eggs, and expects to break all records in the num- ber of eggssecured. He arrived from St. Paul yesterday morning and left at once for Tower, where he has a crew of 15 men engaged at collecting the fish eggs on Pike river. “We got 85,000,000 pike eggs out of Pike river last spring,” “said Mr. Fullerton, ‘“and we wouald have gotten 150,000,000 or more if the Tower Lum- ber company had not let go their log jam when they did. We expect to get 200,000,000 this spring. A part of the fry from these eggs will be put back in Vermilion lake, from which water the piks run up Pike river, Our reason for treating the eggs and then putting part of them back in the same waters from which they are taken is that 95 per cent of the eggs that are fertilized will batch, while only 44 per cent of the eggs deposited in the natural way by the fish may be depended on to bring results.” Mr, Fullerton has a second crew gathering pike eggs at Gull lake, near Brainerd, and Deputy Game Warden Green has a crew on the St. Louis river near Fond du Lac. Mr. Fullerton says there is a great clamor for the propagation of pike at many places in the state, and he him: self considers them the best pan fish in the state. He has sent two large shipments of trout fry to the streams near Duluth, and says that he will send more, He expects to send the greater part of the trout fry of the Glen- wood hatchery to the streams of northern Minnesota. Hammers., - Hammers are represented on the smonuments of Egypt twenty centuries before our era. They greatly resem- bled the hammers now in use, save that there were no claws on the back for the extraction of nails. The first ham. mer was undoubtedly a stone held in the hand. Claw bammers were Invent- ed some time during the middle ages. THE FUT\ IRE | ‘ME1 ’mPou_s:‘ - Will Become: Greatest City in thae North. —— “Bemidji will ' eventually be- come the metropelis of nor¥hern Minnesota,” said Guy C. Aubol, deputy colleetor = of internal revenue, at the Markham today. “It has the. greatest future of any city in the north. I have been in Bemidji a number of times, am very well pleased with the town and predict that it will become a great city some day.” Mr. Aubol is making his regular trip to Bemidji for the purpose of looking after violations of the revenue laws but stated that he was pleased to report that he had found none.

In the opening ‘game of base- ball on the local grounds this season Bemidji yesterday easily defeated Bagley by a score of 14 to five. Being the first of the season, the game -was not as good as will be seen later, -but | some of the Bemidji men showed up well, both in hitting and field- g ability. The grounds were in very poor condition and this accounts to some extent for the contest not being faster. A try- out was given to all of theé pros. pective pitchers, LeGore Tanner, Summers and ‘Munroe each taking a turn in the box. The Bemidji men secured 10 hits, Tanner, LeGore and Roy each making two-baggers. “Miss Smith as a pianist is nothing short of marvelous”’— La Noile, Ill.

It was about the early Freneh in Canada, and my eye tell on a copy of a draw- Ing by their leader, Champiin, or Cham- plain. The sceue represented was an attack by the native allies of the French, the Algonquins, on a fort held by Iroquols. ‘The Aigonquins advanced through showers of arrows under shields nearly as tall as themselves, lke doors with rounded tops. Now, you may see-exactly the same sort of shields in a pictore of a lion hunt, in- laid In gold and sliver, on the bronze blade of a-dagger found by Dr. Schlie- mann In “the grave of Agamemnon.” These monstrous Mycenaean shields cause much discussion aniong the learn- ed. Why were they so huge? The Al- gonquins used the very same shields, bung from their necks, and the reason was the same—theli battles were bat- tles of archers, and nobody can parry a shower of arrows with a smaller shield. Shields grew small in Greece a8 bow and arrow went out and sword and spear came In.—London Illustrat- od News. The Fiddle Drill. The “fiddle drill” is one of the oldest stonecutting tools In existence. It Is said to antedate Greek sculpture and is In use today in about the same form as it was 2,000 years ago. As its name implies, Its action resembles a fiddle. The drill Is of two pleces. In one band a carver holds the drill stock, which Is like a carpenter’s brace, except that it 1s straight instead of having & crank. In the other hand he holds the “bow,” which 18 strung with a brass wire and which Is given a turn around the drill stock. To use the drill the carver places the drill stock agalnst his breast, holding it with his left hand, and with hls right he draws the bow back and forth, fiddle fashion. 7This Imparts a rotary motion to the drill stock, and the drill Is ground to cut In either way it turns. The fiddle drill is used in the finest work, in crevices where the sculptor vould not reach with his chisel and hammer without endangering the carving.

At the Presby- terian church Wednesday even- ing. ; Chapter 22 of the Revised Laws of Minnesota, 1905, entitled “Forestry and fire wardens,” requires the Forestry Commis- sioner to prepare an abstract of the penal laws - relating to forest and prairie fires and he may require any county board to cause at least three weeks published notice thereof ¢o be given. The following is ac- cordingly hereby published: State of Minnesota, office of Forestry Commissioner. St, Paul, Minn., March 15, 1906. The law of the State of Minne- sota for the pravention of forest and prairie fires makes it a mis- demeanor, punishable by fine of not exceeding one hundred dol- lars or imprisonment in jail not éxceedin three months, to kindle a fire near forest or prairie land and leavé it. unquenched.. Said law makes town supervisors, village presidents and mayors of cities fire wardens. They are required toinforce its provisions, post notices of its penalties, patrol their districts in dry seasons, go to the place of danger to prevent or control fires, em- ploy. or compel assistance in emergencies, investigate and immediately report fires, and make complaint before a magis- trate of violations of the law when they haye requisite information vhereof, County attorneys are to assist in prosecutions. . Every person must comply with a wardens call for assistance unless he has justifiable excuse. Neglect to comply with any of the fore going duties incurs the penalty first above mentioned. Destruc- tion or defacement of a posted notice incurs similar penalty. Railroad companies are required to use efficient spark arresters on their locomotive engines, keep their right of ways clear of com- bustible material (except ties) post warning placards conspic. uously at every station inj the vicinity of furests and grass lands, and extinguish any fire occuring near their roads subject to forfeiture of notexceeding one hundred dollars for each offence. Fire wardens are responsible for the enforcement of the law in their districts, They should especially endeavor to PREVENT THE SETTING OF FIRES, whether to clear land, burn meadows or for other purpose in a dry season.
