The assailant ran.as soon- as he saw help coming and, as he was not followed, there is no ‘elue to bis identification. Aside from being badly fright- ened, Mrs. Ferguson ‘sustained no injuries. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH BEMIDJI WILL PROBABLY HAVE ANOTHER RAILROAD It 1s Commonly Reported That the Duldth, South Shore & Atlantic Will Extend Theif Lite from Duluth “to Thief River Fals, That Bemidji is destined to have another trans.continental railway line is evident from the fact that the Duluth, South Shore & Atlasitic €x- vects to extend their line from Duluth to Thief River Falls, there td connect with the Soo Line. Bemidii being the largest and best town in this territory, it stands withott question that the Duluth Southk Shore will make it a point to give Bemidji this added railway facility. In speaking of the proposed téw railway the Duluth-News Tribite says: It is reported, but cannot be offi: cially confirmed, that the Dultiih; South Shore & Atlantic_will be €x. tended to Thief River Falls, thete to connect with the Soo Line, to com. plete a through Canadian Pacific line from Chicago to Winnipeg {n connection with the Wisconsin Cen- tral via Duluth and Thief River Falls has already been surveyed by thé South Shore company.

The South Shore, if it wishés, can run its trains over the Gtéat Nortbern road between Duluth dnd Deer River, but it is not ex- pécted that it will take advantage of that right, but will build an inde- pendent line the entire distance from Duluth to Thief River Falls. Tlie tight of the South Shore to run trains over the Great Northern be- tween Duluth and Deer River was ohe of the considerations of the sale of the old Duluth & Winnipeg road, by which name this division of thé Gréat Northern was once known, to the Hill interests.

Judge Wright is having an unex- pectedly long session at Park Rapids for Hubbard county and will be un< able to preside at a special term for Beltrami county, which he expected to hold in this city next Monday. Judge William A.-Cant-of Dutu who belongs to- the - Eleventh Judi- cial district, has been holding court’ at Grand Rapids for the last four weeks} and hasall of two weeks’ more work left. Judge Cant is .presiding at the ‘“‘Rapids” by special request of Governor John- son because it was found necessary to hold an extra session in Itasca county. owing to the fact that the court work in that county is so far behind that an almost continuous session is necessary to complete the work there, much of the litigation demanding immediate attention. It is the intention " of Judge McClenahan to arrive in Bemidji Monday evening and dispose of a few cases at the local chambers before going to Bagley on the night train to be present at the opening of court there Tuesday morning.
