The coroner's jury which in- vestigated the death of Henry Krause and Frank Cottet, who were burned at Larimore Sun- day night, returned a verdict that the deceased came to their death in a fire which was of accidental origin, and no blame is attached to anyone for the horrible death of the unfortunate men.

Stack was in Bemidji yester- day afternoon and claimed that he had made out all the papers for an appeal from the decision rendered in justice court at Northome and that he had sent the documents to Grand Rapids .|several days ago, but had re- ceived no reply in return; that he intended. to fight the case to the highest courts and believed that he would win out. Recently, Tone blew out a dam which the company erected on his land and also stopped work on the spur railroad, until the company settled with him, and, it is claimed, made the railway a common carrier. 5 ‘Stack says'that applic®ton had been made to the secretary of state, prior to Tone coming into possession of the land, for a charter for the road, under the name of the International Ter- minal & Bridge company, as a common carrier, and that the company was working on the putting in of the road before Tone’s ownership. Stack claims he can win in his case, and says that Tone gained nothing by his legalaction. There are others, however, who assert that Tone did the community a great service in getting a settle- ment out of the company.

A. Monger of the Duluth Herald Gath- ering Material for an Interest- ing Article. J. A, Monger, a member of the editorial staff of the Duluth Evening Herald, is in Bemidji and will write an article for the Herald setting forth the agricul- resources of Beltrami county, and also the lumbering and manufacturing industries of Bemidji and the advantages offered by this city as a jobbing center for the north half of the state. Mr. Monger believes that Be- midji, surrounded as it is with plenty of hard wood forests, is destined to become the center of manufacturing plants for the making of hardwood work of all kinds. He also maintains that Bemidji and the whole of Bel- trami county is possessed of great possibilities along agricul- tural lines. The soil being of the best, and the land being obtainable at a very low figure, he sees for this community a great ioflux of peopie from Iowa and other states, where the price of a farming home has soared upwards beyond the reach of the average settler. His article will be published in the Herald in a few days. Quintine, Famous Negro Leader, Slain With Two Followers, in Early Morning Encounter.

In addition to Randera, two of | his followers fell, while the rest made good their escape. From all parts of the western island come reports of Cubans flocking to the revolutionary leaders. An out-break is fore- casted today in the province of Pinar del Rio with minor clashes between the rurals and in- surgent bands in Havana pro- vince, Matanzas province and Santa Clara province. The main contingent is with Guerra in Pinar del Rio, where his com- mand today captured San Luis, a small town about twelve miles from Pinar del Rio, which city is the objactive point of the Guerra insurgents.
