Two Finlanders Attack Him With Intent to Commit Murder. Ai. H. Powers, general manager of the Powers-Simpson lumbering com- pany, was terribly slashed with a knife in the hands of a murderous Finn- lander, Sunday evening, and that he is alive today 1s contrary to the in- tention of his assailent, says the Hib- bing News. Mr. Powers received a double cut on the left arm, extending from the top of the shoulder to the elbow, lay- ing bare the bone the enure distance. The cut was made with two strokes ot the knife. There is also a straight stab to the right shoulder blade, a cut on the left side of the neck, besides a half dozen scratches on different parts of the body where the knife merely penetrated Mr. One finger of the ght hand was also Mr. Powers is being cared for Powers’ clothing, cut at the Rood hospital and is recovering. Mrs. Powers came from Minneapolis Tuesday and 1s as- rapidly up to the cutting commenced on Thurs- On that day M i j | | | Simpson came up from Minneaypclis with 50 men to work in the com- pany’s logging camps. He hired the men under writen contract to work} for from $26 to $30 per month, and advanced $6.80 to each of the men hired, for railroad fare. Arriving here the train was pulled out to the junc- tion of the Duluth, Missabe & Morth- ern with the Duluth, Mesave & West- ern (the Powers-Simpson road), where the men were taken aboard a train in sisting in the care of the wounded} man. The trouble and causes leading up! Powers’ arm was cut early in the struggle and was utterly useless, but he made good use of his right and to that fact he owes his life. The men were clinched and finally rolied over the en.bankment and Mr, Powers | tried to get his revolver out, but Jack- son grasped it with both hands and Mr. Powers held. on until he dis- charged the weapon, which contained but one cartridge. As the shell ex- pleded Mr. Powers dealt Jackson a powerful blow in the face and got away from him. Jackson at once took to the woods and came into rown, where he was arrested and palced in jail. Mr. Powers was so weak from the loss of blood that he could scarcely stand, mounted his pony and came into town and at once sought the Rood hospital, where his wounds were-promptly dressed. Mr. Powers stated to The News that the stiuggle on the road was o full ten minutes duration, and that he stuck Jackson at least 25 umes full in the faee, and the man’s face corrobor- ates the statement, The coat worn by Mr. Powers was literally cut into shreds, and gives an idea of the des- perate struggle he had with a man whose aim was murder. Jack was charged with assault in the second degree. He was given a pre- hminaiy hearing Thursday afternoon before Justice Lekve, waived exami- nation and was held.to the grand jury. His bail bond was fixed at $2,000. which was not furnished and he was taken to Duluth. Mr. Powers was able to go to head- quorters yesterday, but it wili be two months or more before he regains the use of his left arm. waiting, At this point Herman Sind-/ berg tried to desert, but was caught} up by Mr. Powers and told that/be | r t a cook or ice is going to make any | to. the ‘ them. money advanced on railroad fare.

Sandberg and Jackson came to town and met Wm. Jackson, who deserted Mr. Simpson along the line. The three then went to head- quarters, where Wilham Jackson at- tempted to gain possession of the bi g- gage belonging to his brother, but was unsuccess'ul. Mr, Powers, however, gave them what clothing they needed from the satchels.

Preparatory to the census of 1880, the United States government estimated the standing pine in the state at 10,000,000,000 feet. Many millions of feet more than that amount have since been cut | into lumber and the end 1s farther away than it then appeared. Last year the Minnesota mills cut more than 1,600,- 000,000 feet of lumber This year the cut from pineries of the state will be even larger; and luinbermen and loggers are planning this winter the largest harvest of logs ever known. In this connection the estimate of Charles B. Garrison, . formerly at the head of the state land force and one of the best estimators in Miunesota, will be of interest. * “The fact is,” said he, “that there is pine enough remaining in this state to supply the mills now operating for fifty years at a very moderate estiniate. This is basing the cut on the present mull capacity, which is not likely to be very much increased for the reason that about all the standing pine in the state 1s in the hands of those who own the mills.” ‘There is an immense amount of timber in the three north- eastern counties of the state that will go to the mills at the head of the lakes. Tributary to the headwaters of the Mississippi 1s a supply that will stock the mills.at Brainerd, Little Falls and Minneapolis for years, and in the Red Lake country and on the Rainy River slope are hundreds of millions ot feet of standing pine where the ax of the woodsman has never been heard. Added to all this is the timber now too small to cut that will be merchant- able by and before the ume the other is exhausted, just as much of the pine now being cut was too small to be considered by the first prophets. With proper protection from waste and fires Minnesota’s timber supply will ist’ years beyond the lives of the present generation of lumbermen.— Mississippt Valley Lumberman. The ‘Good Fellow ” An observing, and evidently a con- servative writer, in an exchange says as follows on the subject of “good fellows:” As a matter of fact the average “good fellow” is about as useless an object as this world posseses. The man. who attends strictly to his own business and does business on business principles is never a “good fellow” in the common acceptance of the term, and while such a man would make the most desirable kind ofa public official, he is the man whom the “good fellow” often beats at the polls. ‘The ‘good fellow” spends time in jollity which the busi ness man spends in his office or in the pursuit of whatever calling he may be engaged, and while fiitter- ing away his time makes “friends” who are willing to indulge him at-the expense of anybody but themselves. The “good fellow”. 1s the man who owes his grocer while he spends his money for pleasure ‘or show, while the grocer, who 1s obliged to econo- mize because the “good fellow’s’”’ family has lived off his stock, 1s con- sidered a “grub,” or “slow,” and per- haps “‘stingey.” ‘The “good fellow” is usually “good” at the expense of jother people, and his “goodness” emanates not from any desirable trait of character, but from a laek of char- acter. ile seldom makes enemies, for the same reason that it is difficult for nothing to cast a shadow.
