McPhee, a prominent business man of Koochiching, arrived in the city yesterday. He came down via Tower, driving all the way over the ice to that pluce, where he took the Tron Range road for this city. “Konchiching,” said Mr. NePhee, “igata disadvantage until we get a railroad in there. We have two pointed our way. but we haven't got either one yet, though we fully expect the Duluth, Virginia & Rainy Lake road will reach us by next fall. We look for a big boom in Koochich- ing when we get in communication with Duluth and the outside world generally. At present we do not even have a mail service. The con- tractor who was supposed to carry the mails between Tower and Koochich- ing has thrown up the job, and we get no mail now unless somebody happens to drive down to Tower after it. I brought the mail down arriving in ‘Tower Sunday, and will probably take as much mai[ back as is going. Some of our people get mail from Fort Francis, but we want to get mail at Koochiching. We are big enough to be entitled to it. When navigation opens in the spring the boats will resume the mail seg- vice, and we shali be happy again. “There is considerable money in circulation in the Rainy Lake district and times are very good. Four hund- red men have been put to work re- cently within several miles of Kooch- iching, but most of them are on the Canadian side. They were put out at logging and railroad work priucip- ally. “Tam afraid that real estate is held to high in Koochiching; but some of the others think not. You Duluth was visited by the un- luckiest man in Minnesota last week. At least that is what he himself says and until his claim is successfully controverted, 1t should be credited. John Fallow is the name of the man who claims that unenviable distinction. Fallow’s station in life now is a somewhat humble one—a woodsman—but a few years ago he owned a farm in the southern part of the state. “My hard luck started in about five years ago,” he said yesterday, “and ; was due to a woman. i “It happened during a trip to Min- neapolis to sell some stuck -I had, when 1 ran across a good looking woman in a restaurant, I don’t know how we got acquainted, but pretty soon we was a talking together just like we had knowed each other all our life. Well, sir, before I left I told her about how I was fixed and asked ber to marry me. She seemed to be kind of pleased like, and asked. me if she said yes. when would I want- the weddin’ tou come off. ‘Right away’ says I, ‘or as soon as we kin geta license and a preacher.’ ‘Well,’ she says, ‘I can’t tell you right now,’ she says, ‘but will tomorrer afternoon,’ “T was already to go home then but agreed to wait for her answer, and we passed about an hour together after that talking it over. ‘Then she left after telling me where to see her: the next day. About two hours after she was gone I had to luok into my pockel- book for something and couldn’t find it. It had $725 in it, the price of all my spare stock. It was a long time before I connected the woman with its loss. I thought I had lost.it some other way, and it was not until the next day when she didn’t show up as she agreed, that I finally made up my wind she was guilty. I’ve never seen her or the coin since. f “I went home in a trance almost and when I got there learned that my barn had burned up, including three horses, some machinery and all my feed. Not acent’s insurance eittier. That fixed me; I went. to. town next jay and got drunk in trying to fytiet my luck and then I was off, I spent most of my time in town after that and when I came to abouta year alter, the mortgage on my farm was for- closed and I was out. That sobefed me up and I went to another county to get a new start. I worked hardall summer ona farm and about two days before I was going to quit and getmy wages, the farmer skipped out, leav- ing his family and a raft of debts. I got another job then, but had workea just about a week when I came down with typhoid fever; when I got over that I gota job on asteam saw and the second day the saw cut off two of my fingers. I went to the county house for a while then and after knocking around some months trying to pull myself together I went into the woods north of here. That was 2 see we have such gook prospects that the owners of real estate are not an xious to sell; and instead of picking up stray lots wherever he can get hold of them, expecting good returns from their investments later on when the railroad arrives. lots for business purposos are held at an average of about $500.” > --.Mn MePhee says that. Bi phis at Mine Center an will not be down to Duluth before the time for his new trial. Conspiracy Alleged. The case instituted by Game War- den Fullerton against Powers & Sim- pson for alleged violation of the state game laws is attracting unusual in- terest among lumbermen and sports- men. The defendants are vigorously fighting the case. It will be remembersd that nine quarters of moose were seized by the deputy game warden of Itasca county in one of Powers & Simpson’s camps near Grand Rapids and sent to Mr. Fullerton at St. Paul. Mr. Powers asserts that the whole affair is a conspiracy agaiost him and that claim will be the feature of the defense. He says thathe gave strict orders to his camp foremen not to buy any game or allow any men to bring into his camps. Men workingin the log- ging camps grow tired of the salt meats and stewed beef that are reg- ular fare in camps during the winter season and are often tempted to take agun and go out for game that will diversify the camp menu. Mr Powers claims that he did his best to guard against any violations of the law and the penalties proyided therefore by giving his men strict orders.that they should not contri- bute in any way to such infractions. He claims that the parties who shot the moose seized took-the carcas- ses to his camp and tried to sell them to his foreman for 2 cents a pound, and that the foreman refused to buy them. The men went away, accord- ing to Mr Power’s contention, ~ the next, development was the finding of the carcasses in his camp by the deputy game warden Mr Powers pro- fesses to believe that the people tbat were back of the scheme to sell the moose to his foreman, failing in that had the careasses sent back to the camp -at night, and immediately borrowing money to bring his wife sgl epi peda ote oa gl “> and children here.

In- stead I got drunk and blowed the taoney in three days. Then I gut the smallpox and you see what it did to my face. “Last fall I came to Duluth again and gotajobina camp near Grand Rapids.
