VICIOUS GOW ATTAGKED A WOMAN AT LEEGH LAKE But for Prompt Action of Cass Lake Physician, Woman Would Have Died. Cass Lake, Dec. 24.—(Special to Mrs. John prominent young lady living in the Lake Pioneer.) Lamb, a vicinity of Leech was very severely injured yesterday morning, | and were it not for the speedy work of her O-year-old son, a neighbor and the operators at Cass Lake and Bena, she undoubtedly would have | died. Mrs. Lamb was feeding her cattle, when suddenly one of the cows be- came unmanagable and before she could make her escape the cow had throat, wounding her interrally. The woman felt, uncounscious, to the ground. Her 9-year-old son, who had wit- thrust its horns into her nessed tle incident, at once sum- moned his three younger brothers| and after much difficulty succeeded in getting her into the house. then ran three miles to the nearest neighbor and called for help. The neighbor lost no time in arriving at the woman's side, and when he did he found her in a very critical con- dition. He realized the fact that unless medical aid could be secured shortly that the unfortunate woman would die. ‘There was no physician in Bena, which was nine miles away, and he concluded the only thing left to do was to hurry to Bena and wire to Cass Lake for a physician. This he lost no time in doing. Arriving at Bena he hurried to the depot and explained things to the operator. The operator looked. at his watch. The train coming east was just duel in Cass Lake. But he leaped to the key board and wired the operator here “woman badly injured must have doctor; can you make it?"” Operator Leiser received the tele- gram and wired “will try.” The train for Bena had just pulled into the depot here. Operator Leiser leaped to the phone and called Dr. Gilbert. He was Losing no time he Dr. Christiansen. The doctor answered the phone. The operator repeated the message and added, “You have got two minutes to make her.” “I will be there,” an- swered the doctor, as he slammed up the receiver, and grabbing his grip, darted out the door. He had three blocks to go to the depot. After running with all his might, the doctor reached the depot just as the end of the train was passing. Without any consideration ke grab- bed the last hand-hold, and after much trouble he managed to board the train, Arriving at Bena he found a team in waiting and he was -hurriedly taken to the unfortunate woman’s side. The doctor found the woman ina most critical condition ard after working over her for several hours he expressed a belief that she would recover. He further stated 7 that had he not been called when he He| not in. | called! “| was, her death would have beena certainty. Much Logging at Deer River. A. K. McPherson of Walker, who is a cruiser and assistant superin- the Pillsbury Logging company of Minneapolis, came down from Deer River yesterday and left this morn- ing for Walker to spend the Christ- | mas holidays.

Urseth, town clerk of the Town of Shotley, northwest of Kelliher, who was in thé city yester- day, tells of the efforts being made by the farmers in the vicinity of Shotley to provide good roads to Kelliher and other points, so that the farmers in that vicinity can market their products. Mr. Urseth states that there has already been $900 spent in the con- struction of the road from Shotley toward Kelliher. Between three and a half to four miles of first-class road has been built with this money, and it is the intention of the Shot- ley farmers to complete the road to connect with the splendid road which extends from Kelliher westward to- wards Shotley, the intervening dis- tance being about three miles. Two miles of the distance left to connect with the Kelliher road is in the town of Shotley, and it is the intention of the Shotley people to build the road through the town and to ask an apportion from Beltrami county for the completion of the road the bal- ance of the distance (one mile) to connect with the Kelliher road. With the present conditions, with the road uncompleted to the Kelli- her road, there isin the -summer practically no outlet from the Shot- ley country to Kelliher except through an almost impassable swamp or by boat on Battle river. There is some talk of the residents of Shot- ley township working for the purpose of building a large boat to ply the waters of Red Lake and take out their products of the north country. If is more than likely that the delegation of Shotley people will appear at the next meeting of the county board and ask for ar appro- poration to complete the Sho:ley- Kelliher road.

FEAR TROUBLE WILL FOLLOW Goldfield People Alarmed Over With- drawal of Troops. Goldfield, Nev., Dec. »'—News of the president’s order removing the federal troops from this mining town has caused a sensation among the mine owners and the residents of the city generally. After the news was re- ceived conferences were held between Captain Cox, the representative of Governor Sparks in Goldfield, and Col- onel Reynolds, commanding the troops here, and between the mine owners and members of President Roosevelt's commission. President McKinnon and other offi- elals of the miners’ union said that the possibility of disorder or violence of any sort will be no greater after the removal of the troops than now, and that they will use every endeavor to maintain peace and quiet. Attorney O, N, Hilton, sent here by President Moyer of the Western Fed- eration to assist in effecting, if possi- ble, a compromise for the Western Federation of Miners with the Mine Owners’ association, after a confer- ence with President McKinnon, said that he was assured that no violence would be attempted.

BOIST SUBSIN BILL Friends of Government Assisted _ Merchant Marine Meet. BIG GATHERING IN CLEVELAND Assistant Secretary of the Navy New- borry and. Prominent Members of Congress Among Those Who Ad- dressed the Convertion. Cleveland, Dec. —For the pur- pose of bringing every possible pres- sure to. bear upon congress in the in- terest of ship subsidy the friends of a government assisted merchant ma- rine gathered here. To work up en- thusiasm in the interest of the pro- posed measure and sound the keynote of the campaign to be waged in Wash- ington this winter speeches were de- livered by prominent United States senators and congressmen. Nearly every state and large business inter- est In the country, especially marine interests, were represented in the au- dience. It was the occasion of the annual meeting of the Merchant Marine league. “While the conference was more particularly in the interest of the mail subsidy bill now pending be- fore congress the ocbjective point— the general plan of subsidy for mer- chantmen—was not overlooked. It is TRUMAN H. NEWBERRY. believed by the supporters of the movement that the obtaining of the mail subsidy will re-establish the precedent and general volved, which, eventually, will result in the government giving general sup- port to marine interests upon the high seas. Truman H. Newberry, assistant sec- retary of the navy, was one of the speakers. An important foreign war, the assistant secretary. said, would find the United States with a strong navy, the second navy in the world, very gravely handicapped by the lack of an ocean going merchant fleet of ships and further handicapped by the lack of a trained and prepared re- serve of officers and men. England has at least 100 merchant colliers ag- gregating 400,000 teus' immediately available in the event of war, while the other foreign' powers are well pro- vided with vessels of the same class. *William S. Green of Massachusetts, chairman of the merchant marine committee in the house of representa- tives, followed Mr. Newberry. Con- gressman Green said he was going to exert his every effort to have his com mittee in congress report favorably on the subsidy bill and would do all that could be done to have the house act favorably. 4 H. Coulby, president of the Pitts- burg Steamship company, spoke on “A Question of Business and Trans- portation.” He told of the business interests in the country that were suf- fering from the lack of American ships and said he was heartily in fa- vor of the subsidy. Addresses also were made by Lewis E. Nixon, the shipbuilder, and otherg. ON FIT OF A GARMENT. Jury of Women Decides Case in Colo- rade Court.

Chicago, Dec. 2 .—The December grand jury has returned indictments against fifteen members of the Illinois Milk Dealers’ association for con- spiracy to do an illegal act injurious to public trade. The indictments are the result of the investigation recently commenced by State’s Attorney Healy into the causes for the recent advance in the price of milk. Among those indicted are William J. Rogers; president of the Borden Condensed Milk Yompany; the Borden Condensed Milk company; Charles A. Knight, Chicago manager of the Borden company: Joseph H. Marsh, Chicago superintendent of the Borden company; J. R. Bowman, pres- ident of the Bowman Dairy company; the Bowman Dairy company; C. E. Peck, an oflicer of the Bowman com- pany; George E.

He will be arraigned before the United States commissioner, who will hold him for examination. OPINION OF * EXPERTS. Recent Mine Disasters Due to Cli- matic Conditions. Pittsburg, Dec. 23—A number of experts who have made partial inves- tigations of the Naomi, Monongah and Darr mine disasters are taking the position that the explosions are partly due to climatic conditions. It is a noticeable fact, they say, that the recent catastrophes have occurred at about the same hour in the day, in a zone of certain altitude, in about the same longitude and in places where climatic conditions are similar. The majority of the mines being operated today are below the level of the streams in the same sections and owing to the moisture the outside air forced into the mines by the fans has been laden with carbon-dioxide® mois- ture and other impurities. It is suggested that if the air forced into the mines was gathered from a higher stratum and was heated suffi- clently and otherwise treated to re- move the impurities the accidents would be less numerous during the change of seasons. Proper ventilation with this purified air, it is believed, will remove to a great extent the coal dust and. explo- sive gases which are found to a cer- tain extent in every mine.
