Washburn, Jr. 20r Guarantee Bid’g, Minneapolis, Minn, On the Railway Construction Work @ne Mile from Bovey — Falls Under the Wheels. Last Saturday afternoon Niles Ben- nett, conductor of a logging train on the (tasca road, was instantly killed at the Mississippi landing. His death was caused'in much the same manner as that recorded last week of the late F, O. Muason. A twisted chain stayed the unloading of logs from the cat when Mr. Bennett undertook to, relense the load. As he stepped be- tween the car and the landing dock the logs began to roll, one of which atruck the unfortunate man on the head with such force as to kill him almost instantly. Three more heavy logs rolled over the prostrate form. Dr. Russell was notified and went up to Deer River on the Sunday morn- jog train. After viewing the remains he decided that an inquest was un- necessary. ‘The deceased had been in the employ of the Itasca company about. six years. He was highly spoken of. by his employers and asso- clates and ‘his untimely ending is deeply mourned by many friends in Deer River and wicinity. He was 36 years old, coming here from Minne- apolis, where his parents reside. A sister from that city, Mrs. Trexler, arrived Wednesday and accompanied the remains to Minneapolis for burial. ‘The deceased was a single man. FATAL ACCIDENT AT BOVEY. Charles Johnson. aged 26 years, was accidentally killed one mile the other. || side of Bovey about 5 o’clock Wednes- day afternoon by being thrown from a damp car, three of which passed over his body. He lived about two The cars were slowly running down an incline grade ahd Johnson was standing upright, when he fell be- neath the wheels. The skull was fractured and it is thought that he also received internal injuries that .| would produce death. The deceased was a single man and came from Bessemer, Mich. He was in the em- ploy of J. C. Johnson, the railroad contractor, braking on the dump train, as was also a brother. Another brother -and a brother-in-law arrived from Bessemer yesterday morning and will accompany the remains to that place for interment. Dr. Rus- sell, county coroner, was called to Bovey, where he viewed the remains and found that an inquest was not necessary. FOUNDATION FOR FORTUNES The pupils of Grand Rapids public schools are laying out the financial foundation on which many fortunes may rest. ‘The establishment of a school savings bank is the incentive. The first three weeks of. the exis- tance of this new and worthy. flaan- cial institution fave been exceed- ingly prosperious, ‘and those who in- terested themselves in its establish- ment are more than gratified with the results of the experiment. A total of $93.46 has been deposited at the First State bank to the credit of the school children of Grand Rapids. At the end of the first month the total will pass the hun- dred mark by several doliars if the present rate is kept up. The first week’s deposits amounted to $32.03; the second week, $37.70, and the third week $23.73. The individual amounts turned in range from 1 cent to $1.00. FOUR DEAD ae IN THE MORSUE Four dead men were laid out in coffins at Kremer’s undertaking rooms yesterday afternoon, Michael Connors, aged about fifty- five years, died at Deer River of ap- oplexy Thursday night. He was a worker in the lumber -camps of this vicinity for many years, and was well known to men who followed that oc- cupation. He came originally from eastern Canada. Nothing concerning his relatives could be. learned up the time of going to press. The remains were brought to Kremer’s morgue. William Harrison, a lumber camp cook, aged about forty-five years, who * INN., SATURDAY, OcTOBER 28, 1905. “ A Two Douiars a YEAR. nad a ciaim west of Cohasset, was { NIGHT SCHOOL found dead by the side of the road leading to his home from Cohasset this morning, a short distance above the village. Dr, Russell, county coroner, was notified and drove out yesterday «forenoon. No marks of violence were found on the body, and as Harrison had been drinking heavily in town it was. decided that he laid down by the road side and died from theeffects of alcohol and cold weather. No inquest was deemed necessary. The remains were brought,to Kre- mer’s. Harrison was asingle man. Algot Johnson died of typhoid fever yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock at St. Benedict’s hospital. He had been working on the railroad grade near Bovey and contracted the dis- ease about two weeks ago. He did not come to the hospital at once, and when he was brought in was ina delirious condition. He grew gradu- ally lower until the end ‘came. The deceased was about nineteen years of age. His home was in Bessemer, Mich, where the remains will prob- ably be shipped. The fourth body at the morgue was that of Charley Johnson, whose acci- dental death is recorded elsewhere in this issue. IMPROVING BOVEY ROAD Through the efforts of a few citi- zeus some improvement work is being done this week on the Grand Bapids- Bovey road. Contributions have been made as follows: D. M. Gunn, $100; F. P. Sheldon of the First National bank. $100; W. C, Gilbert, $50; J. C. Johnson, railroad cyntractor, $100; Superintendent. Greenway, of the Oliver Mining company. $100, In order to continue freighting over the road it was absolutely necessary that some improvements be made before freezing-up time, and hence the work could no longer be deferred. Ole Alquist has been placed in charge. He is said to be a competent road builder and the progress that he has already made indicates. that. he understands the business. The committee hopes to be able to raise a sufficient amount in addition to that. already con- tributed by individuals and appro- priated by the townstup to raise the amount to $1,000. This sum would put the road iua very fair condition as far as the Prairie river bridge. SHORT SESSION OF COMMISSIONERS ' The board of county commissioners held a brief session last Saturday, the principal business being the consider- ation of public road matters. Com- missioners Passard, .Mullins and O'Brien were present. The county. surveyor was instructed to make a survey of the Swan River-Wawina road; Tone, Mullins and Lang. were appointed a committee to examine and report on the work done during the past summer in Commissioner Tone’s territory; Passard and O’Brien were appointed to do a similar ser- vice in the Big Fork country. Thirty dollars was appropriated to make some road repairs in the vicinity of Effie. A big batch of bills and abate- ments were considered and a. string of bills audited and:allowed. “ EDWIN DYER SEEKS DIVORCE: Edwin Dyer, aged 52, a settler liv- ingin Itasca county wear Funkley, has applied for a divorce from his wife, Olive Dyer, aged 44, says the Bemidji Pioneer. The suit is brought on the ground of deser- tion. The complaint alleges that Mrs. Dyer deserted the plaintiff in March, 1904. A further allegation is that the’ defendant’ deserted the plaintiff on a subsequent. occasion aad became infatuated ‘with another man, with whom she had improper relations. Mr. and Mrs. Dyer were marriea in 1882 and were among the first settler in northern Itasca county. . Iron Found in 60-28. John Beland, who since early. last May has been with a crew of ex- plorers working on a tract of land owned by his'brother, Thos. Beland, in township 60-23 was recently in Tower. He informed the News of that place that a number of test pits have been sunk on the property and that hard ore of a high grade has been taken out of several of them. Arthur C. Ely of Chicago, who has the option on the property, is well satisfied with the results obtained thus far and as soon as the cold weather sets in he will put ina diamond drill to work in order to de- termine the extent of the deposit, BEGINS NOV. 6. In response to the proposition made by the school board and Supers intendent. Freeman to open a night school during the winter months a sufficient number have indicated a* desire to take advantage of the op- portunity thus offered to improve their learning to justify the under- taking. ‘The classes will begin the term November 6, at the High school building. Superintendent Freeman says he expects an attendance at the start -of about twenty-five pupils. The hours for teaching will be be- tween 7 and 8:45 o’clock on Monday, ‘Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings of each week. A tuition fee of $1.50.per month will be charged each pupil for the business course, which will include-commercial law, book keeping, stenography and com- mercial.spelling. Three dollars per month will be charged for the com- mon course, including reading, arith- metic and language. Most of those who have indicated a desire to at- tend the school are adults. _Superin- tendent Freeman and Miss Wetzel will.be the instructors. GAME SEASON NOV. 10 TO 30 As the season for killing big game approaches there are many inquiries as to what the law is, and the fullow- ing may be of interest. The season for hunting big game 13 the same as last year—opening on Nov. 10th and continuing until Nov. 30th. However, but two deer can be killed by any one person, while the former allowance was three. The law relating to the shipping of game, having in possession, etc., is the same asformerly. License is required to hunt big game, as heretofore, the | price being $1, license to be procured from the county auditor; but in the matter of smail game license, the ‘ license blank also includes big game, at the same price as*was required for big game -license—$1. No game, either big or little, can be sold or offered for'sate. At the last session of the legislature the law relating to manslaughter was so amended as to Toclude the act of shooting’a man by mistaking him for a deer or other animal. JUSTICE COURT VERY QUIET During the past month business in justice courts has been below par; so much so, 1n fact, that the dignitaries who prononnce the fatal ‘‘ten or ten” are getting out of practice. But it speaks well for the community and the excellent police service. Peter Vohtole and James J. Dillon were brought» before His Honor Judge Sims. The former was let off on a charge of drunk and disorderly with fifteen days in default of a fine of $10’ and costs. Mr. Dillon appears to have been an old offender of the va~ grant order and he was turned over to Sheriff Hoolihan’s keeping for a period of sixty days. Frank Thomas was found drunk and disorderly by Policeman Harry and Justice Wallen- berg gave him treatment by the sheriff for thirty days. CO-OPERATE ON CEDAR STUMPAGE Up in the vicinity of Northome the homesteaders are planning to co- operate inthe handing of their cedar stumpage. The Record tells about it as follows: “On Saturday afternoon a company of about thirty home- steaders and holders of cedar stum- page met.in the old school house and organized a mutual cedar company with a capital of thirty thousand dollars. as soon as the full number of signatures promised, have’ been signed, : ‘The articles of incorporation have already been drawn up, and will be published at once. The members selected E, Kingman, Herman J, Engelking and Ed. Quoningham as directors to look after the organizar tion. The company is expected to be in-working orderin the first-part of November. “The company starts out with a good deal of enthusiasm. W. H, Utley, who deserves the credit of getting the company organized, has made a careful study of the cedar question, and from the small cedar owner’s standpoint, to be a practical solution as how to get full value of that product. - Parties conversant with cedar dealings attest enormous profits are made out of the small holders. Many believe the co-operar tive company the only method of self protection,” '
