It appears that Governor Clough, in

sthe sheriff to sup press it entirely ignor-

it wasn't suppressed and Mayor Truelson
has written a letter to the governor po-
itely inviting him to mind his OWE bust
ness in future. -Biwabik Range.

Harry, the two years old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Herman HENDERSON narrowly
escaped drowning last Sunday morning.
He followed his father down to the boat
landing and, going out on one OF the
small docks. fell into the water just a
few rods from where his father was at
work bailing out his boat. The water
was so cold that he was chilled as soon
as he struck it and consequently made
no noise. His father missed the little
fellow but, thinking that he had returned
home paid no attention. When MIR.
Helmerson returned home and found
that Harry was not there a search was
instituted and be was found floating on
his back in the water where he had been
for over half an hour, Signs Of life still
remained, although he was as cold and
stiff as aechunk Of ice. a messenger
was sent for Dr.. Mayhem who, after
several hours OF treatment, brought the
little fellow around all right. It is sup
posed that he fell into the water back
wards and that his large straw hat kept
his head out OF the water in which posi-
fion he was found.

Nader the orders Of Gov Clough, went
