BROWN THE WINNER for But Yet the Suoot in No Way Lacked in Interest---H. D. Powers Second Average. ‘The first annual tournament of the Itasca Gun club—that much-talked-of and much-advertised event—1Is a thing of the past. Yesterday and today have been busy ones fog the members of the club, as well as fot many of our citizens who have as: sisted the boys in bringing off th great event. Everything has ee off most satisfactorily and “the mem} bers of the club aie to be congratu- lated on having given the trap4 shooting fraternity ot Northern Min+ nesota one of the best tournaments held in the state during the year 1897 in point numbers, was not what the club had} been led to expect, all were well satis- fied with this, their first venture, and they feel confident that by selecting an earher date for their next tourna- ment, with the experience they have gained this year, they will be able to outdo any town in the state. Yesterday morning was cold and frosty and the spectators felt some- what uncomfortable, but’ later the sun could have been selected. The shoot-, ing commenced at g.0’clock. H. E. Graffam acted as official scorer; W. C. Gilbert, treasurer; I. C. Thomas of Cohassett, at the levers, and J. X. Nelson, referree. In the first event, ten singles, C. H., Marr led with eight; E, A. Kremer and C. L, Pratt, seven each, the rest of the contestants get- ting from three to six each. It looked to an outsider as though the! shooters were -all a little “off,” and} that unless’ they found. the birds in! would not be a brilliant one. Second event—twenty. singles: A. A Kremer and W. P. Brown. killed thirteen each; H. D. Powers, R. Je Hoffman (Minneapolis), ahd C. L. Pratt, twelve each; C. H. Marr, eleven. Third event—fifteen singles: H.R. King, eleven; W, P. Brown. Ay A.

None of the boys felt particularly elated over the record they had made! for the day, but as all had about an equal amount of bad luek in finding the birds, no one felt inclined to do any great amount of kicking. After the close of the day’s shooting, the average prizes were distributed. The fortunate ones were: First event: I. D. Rassmussen, fifty Peters’ smokeless Sheels; A. A. Kremer, John Beckielt, K. J.

Work Has Commenced Upon tho Extension of the Road From Deer River. ISERIES | A crew of workmen began the building of camps and making other preliminary preparations for grade work on the Great Northern exten- sion west from Deer River this week. The contraciors are Guthrie & Co. It is given out that about five miles will be built this fall, This is the long-talked-of Fosston extension of the Great Northern to connect with Wuluth, Superior & Western to Du- luth, What the ontcome will be is rather difficult to surmise. If the Great Northern has not, or does not, acquire title to the D., S. & W., itis said that the present line of the latter road will be paralleled to Duluth. In any event, the Fosston extension is no The road will be built and this section will haye a through line giving an outlet to the west by the time the next crop 1s| ready to harvest. This seetion, as well as Duluth, has reason to rejoice. A Senatorial Wild Cat Senator H. E. Craig, the venerable law-maker trom Sherburn county, who makes an annual pilgrimage to Grand Rapids about ‘this season of the year to capture a deer or two, is now re- gistered at the Pokegama. He ar- rived Monday evening with snot gun and rifle. Prof. Samuul B. Green vi the horticultural department of the State University, who visited the Agri. cultural station this week, also brought his shot gun along. And so it hap- pened that these two famous Minne- | sotans, in company. the Herald-Re- view editor, drove out to Lund and Macumber’s. Deer Lake resort on} Thursday, equipped with all the ap- paratust necessary to bag anything ing muscallonge. The lake was too rough and the weather a little chilly for comfortable fishing, so the party Seventh event—filteen singles: A. took to the woods. Senator Craig 1s/ a past master with the nifle and could- 753 | from a partndge to a wild cat, includ- trees grow. He strolled away leisure- ly over the hill, while Prof. Green and our genial friend Lund crossed the |lake in a_ sail boat in search of par- | tidges on the other shore. The edit- or went after deer with no hope of of getting anything, and his hope was. fully realized. The professor found good shooting and _ returned in about two. hours with a dozen birds. But the senator broke the record and im- mortalized the expidition by bagging a huge wild cat of the bob specie. It It was the first one of these animals, so far as we are aware, that has been caught for a number of years. Prof, Green took the animal to the state university where it will stand mounted A. | beside a brother cat that was caught some years ago in the southern part of the state. Senator Craig will remain in Itasca county until he has bagged deer to, the-hmit of the law, ACCIDENTAL DEATH. Frank Munson Meets Death Under tha Wheels of a Tote Wagon, Frank Munson _ started for Blake's camp at SplitHand on Thursday after- noon with a load of camp supphes, in a somewhat intoxicated condition. | When about eight miles below town he fell off the load, and the hind wheels of the wagon passed over his chest, breaking the bones in his body in a manner that ardinarily would have produced instant death, but the unfortunate man_ lived seyeral hours after the accident, although he was unconscious. .On the load with him were two or three workman going to the camp, who brought the injured man to the Rosser hospital. Dr. Storch, the physician in charge, saw at once that there was no_ hope of his recovery, and death~ shortly ensyed, ‘The remains were taken charge of by Undertaker Richardson, who made interment in the county cemetary at the poor farm yesterday afterncon. The State Fair, Col. W. M. Liggitt left Grand Rapids Thursday morning to attend the annual meeting of the state fair associations at Milwaukee, which was held yesterday and today. Col. Liggitt stated to a Herald-Reyiew man that the Minnesota delegates would make an effort to secure the first fair_of the western circuit for 1898. If they succeed the Minnesota state fair will be held next year dur- ing the first week in September. This will give the northern counties a rather slim chance in’ the department of farm produce and vegetables. It begins to look as though northern | Minnesota will be compelled to or- ganize a circuit independent of the state association. If this is done, however, the project shoyld begin to receive some attention from now on through the county organizations and the press of this section. Clark Clay was among the loggers who visited this metropolis during the week. Clark & Smith wll haye three camps.in the vicinity of Hibbing this winter, besides a couple of camps in this vicwnity.
