Mr. Larson has been in charge in this vicinity of the work instifuted under the drection of William E.

Mr. Larson and his associates in the employ of the Indian depart- ment have watched Leech Lake Dam, where the Soo railway is doing a large amount of work, " grading for its division headquarters for the Plummer-Moose Lake extension, and where a large number of men are employed. Information was given that a quantity of whisky had been shipped to Edward Gannon at the “Dam,” and Mr. Larson and Mr. A diligent search was made by the government officials and it was only by shrewd work that they dis- covered a dozen quart bottles of Hayoer whisky which Gannon had on hand for retailing purposes. The whisky was seized and de- stroyed, and Gannon was given to {understand that he would not be per- mitted to sell anything of an intoxi- cating nature at Leech Lake Dam.

THe following notice recently ap- peared in the Minneapolis Journal. “If Charles Henry Maltby, form- erly of West Bank, Scarborough, York, England, and more lately of Grand Fork, N. D., will kindly come forward, he will save the chancery court of England considerable incon- venience and may gather to himself some of the estates of Charles Maltby and Sarah Maltby, deceased. “Maltby is said to have been heard of in Grand Forks in 1895. There is clamor now being made in Lon-{' don Town over the estate, and all sorts of relatives are coming up and entering their names for a share. Dec. 1 {noon) is the time appointed | jgy, for the hearing. “Information about Mr. Maltby should be addressed to Room 289. Royal Courts of Justice, London. If Charles Henry Maltby is dead, the attorneys are anxious to know whether he died before or after Sept. 26, 1908, as the line of inheritance depends upon the date of his death.” A man named Maltby operated the Commercial Hotel here for a short time several years ago, com- ing here from Grand Forks, and he is beleived to be the same man. Friends of his here do not know where he is located at the present time, BOND ISSUE FAILS; CITY EMBARRASSED Waukegan, IIl, Has No Money, fo Pay Employes. ‘Waukegan, Ill, Nov. 20.—The city of Waukegan is “broke.” So sadly embarrassed in finances is the city that only two policemen guard its citizens, only three of the fifteen firemen are on the city payroll and the streets are lighted only be- cause the electric company agrees to wait for its pay. Not one cent can be secured by the oity to pay its bills or the salaries of its officials and employes. Bills amounting to $5,000 are awaiting pay- ment, the policemen and the firemen have not received their last month’s pay and more accounts are piling up each day. As a result Fred W. Buck, mayor of Waukegan, “cut down” expenses by discharging city officers and suspend- ing improvement work. He will also dismiss the city engineer, sell fire and police horses and wagons and discon- tinue council meetings and other mu- nicipal machinery. The “economizing process” fol- lowed a special election Tuesday on the issuance of bonds for $55,000. The bond proposition was voted down' by a majority of one vote at the referen-| g dum election and the mayor immedi- ately “cut down” expenses. abetted by the city aldermen. TAFT ON DEEP WATERWAYS President Makes Address at Norfolk | B Convention. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 20.—“The people | § of the country want to he shown that | | the money you intend to spend on your deep waterways is to redound to the benefit of the country,” said Presi- dent Taft in his speech to the water- | § ways convention here. “I do not indorse any plan which |§ has for its object the raising of a lot of money and dumping some of it here and some of it somewhere else If the project here in Norfolk justifies the expenditure of money here I want to see the money spent here and not|¥ somewhere else, but if it is not justi- fied I don’t want to see it spent.” USES AMERICAN PROCEDURE French Trial Is Conducted on Anglo- Saxon Plan. Paris, Nov. 20.—For the first time in a French assize court a trial was con- ducted after the Anglo-Saxon fashion. This was in fulfillment of the wish of Minister of Justice Barthou that cer- tain reforms be instituted, including the doing away of the judge’s interro- gation of the prisoner. The public prosecutor conducted the examination of witnesses, as is the practice in the courts of the United States, and at the conclusion of this examination the prosecutor asked for the discharge of the accused on the ground that the evidence developed was insufficient.

Growds of Grief Stricken Men, We- men and Children Gather Around the Mouth of the Bhaft. : Cherry, Ill,, Nov. 20.—Olosing scenes of the St. Paul mine tragedy, removal and identification of the dead, is mak- Ing mournful progress. Three bodies, those of two men and @ boy, were the first brought to the surface. Four other bodies were dragged from the debris of the sec- ond gallery and taken within reaeh of e cage, but were allowed to remain there for some time. Fifty or seventy- five other bodies were beyond reach for the time being because of smoul- dering fire in the mine timbers. The heart wrenching prospect for the day became apparent when fire- men unrol’ed a great strip of eanvas on the prairie beyond the main shaft. Here the three bodies which were the first to be brought out were laid. Grief stricken men, women and chil- dren formed a great circle around the danvas, but many turned away, un- Able to endure the sobs and erles of those seeking their relatives. Scores Gaze at Bodiesof Dead. Two of the bodies were quickly iden- tified, but not until scores of women had gazed on the blackened features and turned away, shaking with sobs, 'to awalt the next dread load from the epth of the mine. rAlumugh there were many women 4n the anxious crowd there were more children, who pushed thelr way to | where the bodies lay. As onme after another of the children and women turned away some were weeping, but others were past the relief of tears. ‘Many of the women seattered about the yards and switch trachks to be alone, with their wondering children clinging to their skirts. “I was at Messina after the earth- quake, but the horror of that catas- trophe was no worse than this,” said Ernest P. Bicknell. Mr. Bicknell is here as representa- tive of the National Soclety of the Red Cross.
