Miss Caddigan brought her coffin with lér, had it checked as baggage and manifested. quite as much solicita- tion over the way in which it was handled by the drayman who trans- ferredgher baggage as if it had been a Turkish portmanteau, lined with silk and packed with $10 bills, In the parlance of the free and easy world, if geveral appearances are a correct indication, Miss Cadigan is a poor lone woman, with whom the vicissitudes of life have in some way dealt, sternly. She talked but little of herself, but in her conversation with the drayman stated that she was on her way to Northome to set- tle on a homestead and that she had just ‘‘cleaned out” her land interests in North Dakota and determined to come to this section to live. *‘I have a trunk aad a coffin that I want taken to the other deput,” she said. ‘“Any- thing in the coffin, madam?” asked the drayman, “Nothing, it’s mine,” was the reply. ‘‘I don’t want to be burried in no jack pine cottin and I brought mine with me.” The coffin was enclosed in an or- dinary rough box, somewhat weather beaten, and securely hidden from the desecrating and inquiste gaze, and wasaddressed in a hard, round tirst to Miss Mary Caddigan, Northome.

Keleher, a con- tractor of Brainerd was found late last Saturday afternoon in the woods Dear Cass Lake, and near his side lay 4n ounce bottle which still contained afew drops of carbolic acid. The ody was found by a little girl by the mame of Hampton who gave the alarm to her father who at once went to the place where the body lay. The face of the man was fed and white in spots and the flesh about the mouth was burned by the deadly acia. Many people who came to the scene easily identified the remains as that of J. Kelehen. Kelehen was a pioneer of Brainerd having lived there for nearly thirty years. He was at one time well off, Owning several pieces of valuable pro- perty. During the past ten years he had ill luck and took contracting and house moving. He went to Cass Lake ‘a few days to get. employment in his line and succeeded in securing sever- é 1 pieces of work. He sent away for material to enable him to do the work. The companies from whom he ‘ordered were somewhat slow and he thought that they feared his finan- cial standing. Owing to this the became despondent and com- mitted the deed that took his life. His clothes were searched and in one fof the pocket was found several let- fters, one uf which was addressed to this wife. He said that.he wanted whoever found his body to do the best hey could with him; that-he was not ¢razy but discouraged; ‘hoped that they would take govd\care of his ehildren. He said he Was not to blame—that it was whisky that didit. The remains were taken in charge by A.

The Finlander had just arrived in Duluth from Port Arthur, Canada. He had in his possession a certificate of deposit on a Canadian bank for $130, the result of his winter’s work. Wishing to cash the certificate, he went into a local loan bank, not knowing enough of the methods of banking to go to one of the establish- banks. The proprietor of the loan bank gave him $100 cash for the cer- tificate of deposit, which was as good as gold, @ making $380 on the deal. With the $100 i: his pocket the Fin- lander went to a lodging house. Fear- ing to carry the moneyin his rocket; Jest he should be robbed, he gave it to the proprietor to keep, taking no receipt for it and having no witness to the transaction. He spent one night anda day in the house, buying a few drinks and eating three meals, and theu he applied to the proprietor for his money. The latter told him he had only deposited $68 and that he had spent it all but $20 on drinks and buard. The foreigner did nut dispute the statement, but asked for what was coming to him, thinking that he might have spent that amount while drunk. ‘The proprietor, he claimed, refused to returned him the balance, claiming that he would have to remain in the hotel and take it outin trade. Even to the ignorant woodsman, this looked like an im- position and he told his troubles toa friend who could speak English. The friend tuok him to police headquart- ers and the matter was laid before the proper authorities. The puvlice are investigating the matter in an attempt to find out what truth there is in the story as told by the Finlander.. If the story he tells is true, all he received fur his $130 was board for one day and a night, and a few drinks of bad whisky.” There Are None Better. I. D. Rassmussen, the present clerk of court, will probably ask for re- election this fall and as it would bea difficult task to find a man more cap- able of handling the affairs of that office he wili have no trouble in se- curing the nomination.—Border Bud- gets ‘ Editor Atkinson Will Tatk.

The other was held ‘Tues- day night in honor of Miss Beth Polly, the only graduate from the high school this year. Died Miss Mary {McCormick died Wed- nesday at the St. Benedicts hospital. Miss McCormick was a sister of James McCormick of this city. She came here about six weeks ago to visither brother, and was taken to the hospital shortly after she arrived here. Heart failure was the cause of her death. Funeral services: were held at the Catholic church, Thurs- day and were conducted by Father O’Mahoncy. Miss McCormick was 65 years of age. Mining Under The Lakes. One of the most importantant liti- gations that is now before our courts is that which is todetermine whether or not the state of Minnesota may give leases and contracts for mining work under t..e lakes or the iron ranges. In the case of Minnesota ex. rel. Richard F. Grant vs. Samuel G. Iver- son, state land commissioner, it is contended that the lands lying be- neath these waters belonging to the state, and that the state has the au- thority to lease them for mining pur- poses, the same as any other state lands. It is shown that a number of other states are making oy # such lands for mining purposes. this action a number of ripatian own- ers have intervened and have been al- lowed to file briefs. The importance of this litigation is readily perceived. If the state may make such mining leases, it will, no doubt, derive a great revenue from them, and mining industry, thus em- ploying a great number of men. It is of great importance that this litigation be carried as speedily as is practicabie to a conclusion, It is the contention of the attorney general that the remedy of certiorari invoked in this case is not the proper one, the objection being merely technical; but itis blaimed on the other hand that the case of the Minnesota Sugar Co. ys. Iverson, meets and overtbrows this objection. Itisto be hoped that this litiga- tion may not be pro'onged. It is im- portant to the state, to the riparian owners, and to the mining industry of Minnesota that final judgment may | be speedily regched'-—News Tribune, MAN KILLED AT LANDING Gus Plouerd is Instantly Killed While Engaged in Unloading Logs. A fatal accident took place at the landing on the MisSissippi river about awile and a half east of this town at about 1:15 o’clock Saturday after- noon. Gus Plouerd, aged about 40 years, was the victim, being in- stantly killed by logs falling from the cars. The chain had been knocked from a load and he attempted to walk across beside the car when the whole load started to fall. Plouerd had no time'to escape and the logs passed over his body and dashed into the river. When his companions picked him up they found that his neck had been broken and his body crushed. His relatiyes were at once notified and a brother-in-law came from Red Cliff, who is superintendent of the Red Cliff Lumber Co., and one from Marinette, Wis. The body was buried here Monday, ' the relatives fearing to take it to his home at Minominee, Mich., on ac- countof his aged mother who is 80 years old, thinking that the shock would do her great harm. Mr. Plouerd had been heard to say that that day was the last work he would do in Grand Rapids, as he in- tended to go to Ashland, Wis., to work for the Red Cliff Lumber Co. His words were sadly prophetic, although far from the way in which be meant them. The man was a bachelor and was born in Menominee, * Mich. Attempis Suicide. A man by the name of King at Ten- strike attempted to destroy his life by taking carbolic acid last Saturday, but when the liquid got started down his throat he concluded that life was worth living and spatit out. King had been working in the lumber camps near Tenstrike and was dis- charged Friday. He went to town to see a woman whoin he was infatuated but she refused to have anything to do with him, He then secured the poison in some unknown manner and attempted suicide. King now lies in the jail at \Tenstrike partly insane. It-was at-first: thought) he would dic, but will probably recover. Forest Fires Raging. ‘Throughout this part.of the country forest fires are holding, their sway and doing much damage. Near Cass Lake - this week, quite a serious tire was started whic burned over fifty acres of land, burning many large trees and completely destroying the young growth of pine. A great many of these fires are started near railroad lines and are probably caused from sparks from locomotives. The High School Exercises. The commencement exercises held in the auditorium of the high school last night were very fine in every way, and were witnessed by a large num- ber of people, in fact the capacity of.the large auditorum was crowded to its fullest capacity. It would be impossible to pick those who sur- passed the others for they were all ex- cellent, but, perhaps, the address by Superintendent R. E. Denfield of Duluth should be particularly men- tioned. This subject was “Ideals’” and was one of the best addresses ever held in this place. Miss Beth Polly who was the only graduate was presented with her diploma by E. A. Kremer who made «a fitting speech, Mr. Hughes being absent. The fol- lowing program was rendered: PROGRAM. Rev. Andrew Walker steeeeseseee Shook Invocation. Song..
