Basil Thunder, a Red Lake Chippewa Indian, was refused a pardon by the board of pardons, Monday, when application was made by P. J. Russell of this city for a pardon for Thunder. The board gives some exceedingly peculiar reasons for not granting the pardon, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, which says of the application and refusal: *“Bazil Thunder, au Indian serving sixteen-year sentence in the state prison for manslaughter, will have to spend the coming winter there at least, although he is suffering with tuberculosis, and the warden recom- mended his release. “Thunder has served since Sep- tember, 1902, nearly half his sen- tence, and the board was inclined to pardon him. But it decided that he would have as good care in the prison as he would if he were turned loose in the woods in the north, and they denied his application. Basil Thunder was ‘“‘sent up” to the “pen” on conviction of man- slaughter, it being alleged that he killed a squaw in drunken row, on the Red Lake re:ervation. Subscribe for The Pioneer.

MUCH DELAY TO SHIPPING Storm Continues at the Head of the Lakes. Duluth, Oct. 13.—The blizzard con- tinues at the Head of the Lakes. ‘A cutting wind. driving in from Lake Superfor, with constant flurries of s00W, ice-clad pavements and a predo- minéfce of heavy fur garments worn by Duluthians, contributed to the De- cember appearance of the present storm.. Much delay is being experienced by shipping on the lake. Big freighters out in the open water have not at- tempted to pass inside to tbe hay, fearing collision with the concrets plers at the government channel. No accidents, however, have been report- ed.
