The boy was in the employ of t ie Great Northern as messenger, @d like all boys of his age was in ‘the habit of climbing onto the moving freight and work trains that are switching in the yards at all times. Yesterday afternoon as the local freight was being made up Frank attempted to climb upon a moving box car. After making two attempts he succeeded in securing a hand hold of the ladder but was unable to reach the iron bar with his feet. The train was moving very slowly and the little fellow appeared to feel no danger in releasing his grasp and dropping to the ground, which he did. About one foot of loose gravel had been scattered along on either side of the track and as he struck the ground his feet slid toward the rail and in an instant the shoes were literally nD from the feet, and the right fdor horribly mangled, the bones being crushed from the toes to above the ankle» The right foot was also crushed in such a manner that the doctors fear amputation of that mem- ber will also be necessary. je wheels cf one truck passed over the feet when M. Crowley, who witnesséd the accident, dragged the boy from under the — train. He was taken ‘to St. Benedict's hospital Drs. Russell, Gilbert and Storch were immediately summoned. The doctors saw at once that amputation of the left foot was necessary. The little fellow stood the operation as well as could be expected and this mopp- ing he is reported to be resting easy.

FILINGS CLOSE ON WEDNESDAY. On August 27 the Books Will Be Closed For All Party Nominations. Those who have not filed their affidavits of candidacy for office swith the county auditor on or before next Wednesday, August 27, as partisan applicants for political preferment, will be barred from so doing for at least two years. The ‘election law requires that twenty days before the holding of the primaries all filings must have been made. Thereafter independent candidates may file by petition of five per cent of the voters! in the county or district, as the casé may be. ‘There has been no new fil- ings this week except that of C. Hi Jamieson of Koochiching, Republican candidate for county commissioner- ship from district No. 2, against Frank S. Lang, who will be an -indep- endent candidate for re-election. Arthur A. Kremer appears to be still undecided as to whether he wiil file his affidavit as a candidate on the Republican ticket for the oftice of county auditor. G. K. Reiss, it is said, will bean independent candid- ate for that office. This leaves Aud- itor Farrell, so far, the onlycandidate tiled. Geo. H. Spear is similarly situated, being the only candidate thus far filed for the nomination as county attorney, Frank F. Price jmay file betweep now and Wednesday as the Democratic candidate for the office of prosecuting attorney, and it is said that Mr. Pratt may go on the ticket as an indopendent. EXHIBIT FOR STATE FAIR. Itasca County Products Being Gathered For the Big Show at Hamline. The officers of the Itasca, County Agricultural association have been making preparations during the past two weeks for the exhibit to be madé at the state fair, which upens on September Ist. A very creditable | showing will be made from this county, and there is every reason to believe that much benefit will result trom the effort that is being put for- ward.

The Itasea County Man Has Consented to Make the Run Against Potter. Thomas A. McHugh, supe: intendent of Itasca county hospital has consent- ed to become a candidate for the state senate from the Fifty-second district ou the Democratic ticket. Mr. Mc- Hugh was very reluctant to become a a candidate for the office but after much persuasion from Democrats all over the district he finally decided to file his certificate with the secret- ary of state and enter the race against Potter of Aitkin. Mr, McHugh has been an active party worker for many years and is recognized as a man well fitted for the position in every way. He will make an active campaign throughout Itasca, Aitkin, Cass and Carlton counties and the Herald-Rey- iew predicts his election on the fourth day of next November. A Generous Act. That little Frank McMahon has friends in Grand Rapids is being demonstrated to-day. George F. Meyers and Frank F. Price started out with a subscription list for con- tributions to a fund for the purpose of securing for him an education, and the responses are very generous and general. The idea was suggested and at once found hearty endorsement from all sources. While his parents are able to provide for his wants the feeling prevails that any additional assistance which may be rendered the unfortunate boy will be an act worthy of our good citizens. The funds thus subscribed will be placed in the Lumbermen’s bank to be ex- pended in his behalf under the direc- tion of a committee of trustees to consist of the postmaster, superin- tendent of schools and the president of the Grand Rapids school bvard. Those who have not been called upon may contribute any amount they see fit to the cashier of the bank. THEY WANT LANG. The Commissioner From the North District Appears to Be-Popular. ~ Immediately after his return from the county seat County Commissiouer Lang began the circulation 6f his petition as an independent candidate for re-election, says the Border -Bud- get. He has received encouragement from all parts of the district to again make the run, und on account of; the good work he has done in the way of redistricting the couaty, which makes it possible for the north end to have a representative on the board as well as ouaccount of the good road ap- propriations he has/secured and the fair and“impartial manner in which the same has been distributed, the sentiment is} general throughout the district that Mr. Lang is entitled to another term, and that it would be impossible for any new man toreceive the recognition from the other memb- ers of the county board that he has received. In the circulation of his petition Commissioner Lang has met with unanimous approval of his record and voters of all political parties are open in their opinion that the best interests of the district will be served by returning him without opposition. As yet no opposition has shown itself and none probably will, and if any should, it would undoubtedly receive a cool reception. Commissioner Lang says that the county finances are in very good condition, that. $20,- 000 of court house bonds were taken up at the July meeting, that the in- debtedness of the county has been re- duced from $250,000 to about $100,000 and the levy for the coming year will leave a snug balance in the treasury. He states that his relations with his colleagues on the board have always Deen pleasunt and they have always given his demands fair considera- tions. ; New Lumber Yard.
