THE HINES RAILROAD.

I'D. Wallace, of Drayton, one OF
the directors OF the Hines railroad,
was in the city this week, and to
a PIONEER EXPIRES representative
gave some interesting information
about his recent overland trip to the
camps on the line in northern Mime
sofa. Mr.. Wallace says that the
work Of clearing sI,e htrof-waya and
surveying has been prog greasin9 with.
out interruption. A good portion of
the country is heavily timbered with
poplar and birch, anu for distance
of fifty miles the forest is SO heavy
that 1t is difficult to get throueh h with
teams. The country generally, is
adapted for agricultural purposes,
and d number OF settlers are scat
tereu all along the line Regarding
changing the main line to run south
OF the Red Lake reservation, and to
Grand Forks. Mr.. Wallace says is
nothing but newspaper talk, and has
never been thought of 10y the direct
ors. The charter under which the
rlght-of-way was secured when the
line was first run, designates it as
the main line and to change it's loca-
tion would be to nullify the charter.
The directors look forward to the
foreclosure sale oftthe Duluth & Win
nipeg referred to in their columns,
last week, with considerable interest.
Mr.. Hines is in New York and Wash
ington this week to see what deals
can be made for ironing the track
and right-of-way through the Red
Lake and Chippawa Indian Reserva-

COME TO MARSHAL COUNTY.

The opening oftke Red Lake Indi-
an reservation for settlement on May
1st next will attract'a large number
of homeseekers from nll parts Of the
country. While it is true that the
reservation contains large tracts of
excellent farming land, it is equally
true that as good land, if not better.
may be secured on very
favorable TERMS outside of the
reservation. Many will prefer to
make their homes Il an old settled
community and save themselves the
many hardsl'ips and inconveniencas
that necessarily are met in new
settlement. In the eettled portion
of Marshall county over SOC, 900
acres of uncultivated land await the
sturdy settler, and tliis land can yet
be bought cheap 'aad on favorable
terms. The reunp4 why it is sold
cheap, is that land sven the very
best, as long us It does not produce
anything, Is dead xapitaL and it is
only by cultivation Tint it becomes
really valuable. In MARSHALL county
the immigrant will dhd good schools,
churches and roldi aud all the ele-
ments that go to make up a happy
and prosperous community. Come
to Marshall county md see for your
selves. We know you will be pleased,
and will come to live among us.
Come, while there is still room.

REVOLVING FIND OF
TWO BERRY PICKERS
Deserted Infant Alive Under Most HOrri-
bic Circumstances.
FROM FIVE TO EIGHT DAYS OLD
Strangled aud Left for Dead Beneath
stump on the West Mountain, the
Child Suryives..Was the Prey of
Parasites..The Fiend Who De.
serted the Child Evidently Visited
the Spot Yesterday.

Two berry pickers. Peter Chanfal
and wife, living at 1909 Price street,
found a live infant, probably five days
old, beneath a stump near the Dia-
mond reservoir on the West Mountain
yesterday afternoon about 1.30 O'Clock.
An attempt had evidently been made
To stranSle ii and ants and maggots
fairly covered the body, yet the child
was fun of vitality and it is thought
will survive.
The berry pickerS We're working
among the bushes just above the reser-
voir when they Were nearly startled
out of their wits by hearing the plain
tive cry of a baby, coming apparently
from out of the ground just at their
feet. They hunted about for the source
of the cries and finally discovered the
babe wrapped in a blue calico dress
stuffed beneath a stump. Both We're
too scared to handle the child SO they
hurried to Patrolman Kiah Peters
home, which Is near their home On
Price street, and appraised him of their
discovery.
STONE OVER THE OPENING.
He secured a light wagon, and TAX
ing one of the neighbors, Daniel ID.
Jones, accompanied the berry pickers
to the spot. When they alighted at
the stump Chanfel was greatly sur
prised to find large fiat stone against
the opening, shielding the child from
view. He and his wife state positive
ly that there was no stone there when
they left and are sure that somebody
must have visited the spot between
the time they departed and returned
with the officer.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that the child was removed from its
narrow quarters. having evidently
grown considerably since being stuffed
through the opening OF the cavity un-
der the stump BY dragging away some
of the dirt about the opening the child
was taken out and u most revolving
sight was disclosed.
A swarm of black ants covered the
body and maggots filed the eyes. nose
mouth and ears. A red flannel rag was
drawn tightly about the neck. When
1t was removed the flesh was found to
be i'm putrid state and covered with
a mass of the sickening parasites.
Aside from the marks of the flannel
on the neck there We're no evidence of
violence.

CONGRATULATORY ORDER.
Issued by Colonel COurscn 10 tho
Members Of the Thirteenth.

The following congratulatory order

Coursen to the members of the Thir-
teenth regiment.
Headquarters Thirteenth Regiment IN.
fantry. Third Brigade, National Guard
Of Pennsylvania.
Scranton. Aug ~, 1896.
Rcgimental Order No. u.
1t is with intense satisfaction the colone
congra tulates the officers and men OF the
Thirteenth regiment upon the magniiicen;
ratings attained by them at the division
encampment. Never before in the histor!
of the National Guard have the require
ments been so severe and exacting or at
tended with the amount of detail as al
this inspections: and the pride and pleasure
that must hll the heart of every member
of the Thirteenth regiment is ample
rtcompens. for the labor and care eacI
one has given to place our regiment for
the third time the leading regiment In the
National Guard of Pennsylvania.
But while enjoying our mutual con.
gratulations your attention is called &c
new sources of danger which threaten olli
supremacy and remind us most forcibly
how necessary it is that the same earnest
Individual effort must be maintained that
we may hold our present proud position
If every soldier (and especially the enlist
ed men who sometimes think they as in.
dividuals are of little account forgetting
they are the most important factor--fo'
they make the regiment what 1t is) will
do their best, success will attend lls in ths
future as in the past. and il may be that
our many friends will soon conclude that
the best military organization in the state
and country should have an armory some
what in keeping with the requirements
and qualifications of the splendid set OF
men who compose the rank and file of oul
Thirteenth regiment.
