(Signed) Looking for Grading Contract. Messrs. Thoreen and Sandeen, railroad contractors who have their headquarters at Stillwater, were in Bemidji yesterday and consulted with Mr. Little, who is located here as paymaster for Foley Bros. & Stew- art, head contractors for the Soo Railway company, and who are the persons having the contract to build the grade of the Plummer-Moose Lake extension. Thoreen-& Sandeen lpoked over the route both east and west of Bemidji and may be able to secure a sub-contract to grade some of the right-of-way. They graded about six miles of the right-of-way out from Moose Lake, which is com- pleted and ready for steel. Reported Lost in the Woods. Joe Kenville, who came to the city this morning from his home at Kelliher, states that there was some excitement at Kelliher last evening, caused by the report that John Larson, Sam Marin and Ben Stuart of this city were lost in the woods near Kelliher while hunting and were having quite a time in the “tall timber” trying to find “civili- zation.” Joe was relating a harrowing tale as to the Bemidji party’s experience and suggested that the militia com- pany be called out and sent to Kelliher to assist in the search for the “babes in the woods.” Chicken Pie Supper.

RUSSIANS FLEE FROM FINLAND Exodus Assumes Propor- tions of a Panic. GREAT UPRISING FEARED Bellef General That a Countrywide ~ Revolt Is Unavoidable and Indica- tlons Are That It Cannot Be Long Delayed—Czar’s Officers and Ortho- dox Russian Priests Constantly Be- ing Insulted in the Streets. Helsingfors, Finland, Nov. 11.—The exodus of Russian women and- chil- dren from Finland has assumed the proportions of a panic. Every Rus- sian resident of the country who can possibly do so is hastening to get his family out of the country. The belief has become general that a widespread uprising is unavoidable and indica- tions are that it canmot be long de- layed. The reports that a general massacre of Russians is planned are undoubted- ly baseless, but there is no question that the Russians of the official class are in danger. The czar's officers and orthodox Russian priests are constantly being insulted in the streets and until the strengthening of the garrisons throughoat the country has been com- pleted the Muscovites. do not think it safe to resist such manifestations. The Russian officlals are also con- stantly in danger from attempts against them by “agents of the Pro- vacature” of the Azef type. The revelations made in the recent Loupukhin trial of the activity of these spies has created a veritable reign of terror in Russian official cir- cles. FOURTEEN KILLED IN CRASH OF CARS Runaway Freight Dashes Info Growded Passenger. Vancouver, B. C., Nov. 11.—A run- away freight car crashed into a crowded passenger car on the British Columbia Electric Railway company’s interurban line. Fourteen persons were killed, including the motorman and conductor of the freight car. The passengers were mostly workingmen. They were bound for New Westmin- ster. Seven were injured, two per- haps fatally. Every person in the passenger car was killed or injured. The passenger car left the Van- couver station just behind an elec- tric freight train consisting of a loco- motive, box car and flat car, laden with heavy timbers, fifty or sixty feet long and a foot thick. Three miles out, at the head of a grade which the freight cars had just ascended, the coupling of the lumber car broke and caused the lumber car to start back toward the city. By this time the passenger car, a quarter of a mile behind, was just leaving Lake View station, a short distance beyond the city limits. The runaway lumber car dashed into view at a speed which left Motorman Thoburn no time to move. When the impact occurred the heavy timbers of the flat car slid forward and ripped the ‘passenger car level with the floor.
