HOW TIM ESCAPED.
Log Struck Rock and Bounded Over
His Head.

1--WE are rolling logs down a bluff into
the st. John River, below Grand Falls"
said a lumberman to a reporter for the
BOSTON Standard 1.-THE bluff was about
forty rods up from the river, steep and
worn prctty smooth by the leg rolling. A
log started over the brink would roll with
a tremendous velocity down that sharp
descent Toward the foot OF lie NIL there
was q slight ridge, and now and then u
log would strike ii and go bounding into the
air and land well out into the river.
.It was dry time that May and the
rolling logs made dusty work. The dust
was so thick sometimes that we almost
lost sight OF the logs before they reached
the bottom. If log was started rleht IL
generally followed pretty straight course
down the bluff, but once III aWblIe
crooked one went Slowing, or announcer
would get advantage of heroiiers and start
off end first, and so roll on curve, ana
generally reach the bottom, bat get
lodged. Tim Field would then have TO go
down ard Cisiodge it.
lone dag a crooked log Slowed and
lodged. Tim Field went down 10 stralghteh
it and send il on its course. While lie was
engaged thus two men came along Win
log. They stopped at the brink and waited
for Tim to get out of tlcir way, balancing
their log with their pecyies.
lone OF the 'peevies' slipped and the
great leg started down the incline. The
men at tie top cried loudly:
Tim, oil, Timl LOOK out!
.There was no time for the poor fellow
to jump aside. and no human power could
save him ICm being crushed by that huge
descending log. We stood, horTol-strickeh,
peerng over the edge of the blufr.
..Downward rolled the log, cloud OF
dust rising In it's wake. For a dozen rods
it rolled, gaining velocity as it descended,
and then il suddenly struck rock OF some
Obstruction, and gave great found high
over TinI's head, and struck the ground
below, wbenc cit rolled and tumbled TO the
foot.
Tim was untouched
although we rolled thousands OF logs
down the same bluff, never saw second
one bound into the air like that one. 1t
seemed TO US that the hand OF Providence
had interfcrred."

Discipline for His brothers.

Two brothers have The same bedroom,
which is under the jurisdiction-so he
thinks-of the elder, boy OF thirteen.
He has composed a set of rules for his
brothers guidance, and has pasted them on
the door. One is: 'No pillow fights after
10 o'clock." Another: mo talking after
the light is out" and still another is:
''No prayers less than two minutes in
length" It is very funny TO overhear
his rigid enforcement of these DEGREES. But
he makes the younger boy live up TO them
without any violation whatever.-New
York Times.

sAVIORs OF RECORDS.
Annual Meeting of the state HistOr-
zeal Society.

The annual meeting of the State His
torical society will be held at the hall Of
the house of representatives tomorrow
afternoon. There will be two sessions,
the one in the afternoon being devoted
to addresses on the territorial era in
Minnesota Hon. Alexander Ramsey,
the president of the society ana the first
governor of the territory, will discuss
the origin and growth of the society;
Capt Russell Blakely, the opening of
the Red River of the North Hon. Henry
L. Moss, THE Last Days of Wisconsin
Territory and the First Days of Mime
sofa Territory" and Judge c. r. Elan
drau, the lawyers and courts of Mime
sofa during and before the territorial
period.
In the evening the business meeting
will be held, officers elected and annual
reports considered. The society was or
ganized in 1S49 and incorporated by the
first territorial legislature in October Of
that year. 1t was thus the first literary
institution, and its library the first of
its kind in the state. 1t now has over
$4,000 volumes on it's shelves, including
many that are not only rare, but of
great historical value. It's collection of
Minnesota newspapers is not it's least
important branch. The collection of
newspa pers has been an important OBJ
ject of the society since it's foundation,
and with the exception of few unim-
portant ones, it has complete file of all
the papers that have been published
and are being published, in the state
Other than these files, many of the early
newspapers of Minnesota have been
lost, and much valuable matter both
of an historical and legal character
would be impossible to obtain but for
them. Many of the historical societies
and libraries of the country are fast be-
ginning to realize the great Importance
of collecting newspapers, and but few
have as large and complete files as are
in this vault. To these files of news
papers the historians of the future will
turn for the material that cannot be
found elsewhere. Many of these news
papers are of incalculable value as
they cannot be replaced at any price,
and no collection is guarded with great
er care. The files embrace $40 daily and
weekly papers; of these fourteen only
are paid for, and these are supplied at
nominal prices, showing that publishers
generally appreciate the Importance of
having their papers on file where there
is no possibility of loss. During the
past two years the society has been able
to complete several broken files of early
editions, by paying greatly enhanced
( prices. The thanks of the society and
OF the public generally are due to the
publishers who have so generously SUD-
pied their newspapers free.
On Jan. J. 1893, there were 1858 vol
umes of newspapers in the vault. Dur
ing 1893 and 1894 there have been added
81; total, Jan. 1, 1895, 1924; now, Jan.

NEW MAN WILL GO.
Col. Williams Report on the Boun-
diary Dispute Rejected

Col w. W. Williams report on the
Cass-Crow Wing county boundary line
dispute is not acceptable to Gov.
Clough, and the governor will appoint
Thomas Nary, an old resident of the
pine woods, surveyor and cruiser of
long experience, to go over the ground
which Mr.. Williams did not cover. This
was the result of a conference at the
governors office yesterday, when, with
state Auditor Dunn, he was waited
upon by a delegation of citizens of
Bralnerd, consisting of Representative
A. f. Ferris, Leon f.. Lum, County At
torney Chipperfield, County Treasurer
a. W. Frater, and Sheriff Spalding.
These gentlemen represented to the Off
Gals that Williams report did not cover
the field at all. inaSmuch as he was I'M
familiar with the district in dispute,
and was unable to follow the govern
ment lines as an experienced woods
man might do. The statistics he had
secured on polling districts and voting
population were ingenious and quite in
teresdng; but, in their opinion, they
were not what the law required, mas
much as the polling districts in question
included not only the territory in dis
pute, but large tracts of territory not
involved in the matter at all. Mr.. Will
Jams was not present at the meeting to
defend his figures, and the outcome was
that the governor decided to send a
new man into the field, and it is practi-
cally decided that Nary will be the man.
Nary is resident of Cass county, but
the governor places implicit confidence
in him, but in order that all interests
may be satisfied, he will withhold the
appointment few days, in order that
the people on each side may select each
one man to accompany Nary on his
travels and see if he fulfills the object
of his mission. This lis not because of
any legal bearing it will have on Nary's
report, but as source Of consolation to
whichever side loses when Mr.. Nary
makes his report.

POLICE COURT MELANGE.
Another Midway Case They Couldn't
Make Stick.

Mrs. De Franchy, wife of the William
De Franchy acquitted Friday Of the
same ofrenSe, was discharged in the
municipal court. She had been accused
of selling liquor in the Midway district
Similar cases had been tried Friday by
jury and the prisoners discharged
Mrs. De F'ranchy's case was decided
by Judge Orr. He was convinced that
a witness had purchased of the pris-
oner bottle of 'maltum," but he was
i, afforded no proof that the specified bot
tie contained sufficient alcohol to make
the beverage an intoXica ting drink
The judge was guided by the case of
the state of South Dakota VS.. the Sioux
Falls Brewing company. The recent
local prosecution has been conducted
under the city ordinance. 1t might
have resulted much more seriously to
the accused had they been prosecuted
under the state law. 1t is understood,
however that when ~ Midway min
ute men attempt to secure an indict-
ment Of the same persons under the
state law the grand jury refused to re-
turn a true bill.
George Mikes, accused of stealing a
watch, in July, 1894, that belonged to
Capt Wright, of the fire department
was discharged Testimony was pre-
scented showing that Mikes brother
purchased the watch of a young man
named Bertram.
Louis Padden and Mamie Padden
were discharged. They were charged
with disorderly conduct, having been
found together in apartments on Sew
enth street, but they appeared in court
yesterday with a marriage license.
F. M. Andrews, who sold a bicycle
which he had previously mortgaged.
was allowed to plead guilty to petit
larceny, and was fined $25
Jack Murray, John OConnor and F.
Meyers, alleged to have robbed Endres
saloon on Cedar street, were held to the
grand jury. They were unable to fur
nish bonds and went back to Jail. Muir
ray is said to have been seen coming
out of the saloon, while the others were
arrested under less convincing circum-
stances. The bond of Murray was
therefore fixed at $1,000, and those Of
O'Connor and Meyer at $500 each.
James Pollock, sent to the work
house for ten days for driving off, while
drunk, with another mans horse and
buggy, was permitted to secure his free
dom by paying fine of $40.
Frank Rothmeier, charged with beat
ing his wife, was released on his own
recognizance. He will be tried tomor
row.
A. Johnson was arraigned for larce-
ny. He was accused by an installment
house on West Third street of selling
$50 worth of goods and failing to ac-
count for the sales. He had been ar
rested on an original charge of drunk
erness, but this charge was not proven
