Mrs. B0isj0li Arrives.

Mrs. Joseph Boisjoli is again in
the city, Henry Rasicot bringing her
down from Belle Prairie Monday
morning. Mr.. Rasicot received her
into his home Saturday evening, after
she had been kept in Il wagon in
Little Falls all day Saturday, and
then taken back to Belle Prairie.
He also provided her with funds to
keep her a month in Little Falls.
with the nope that by that time
Little Falls and Belle Prairie will
come to some agreement, and that
the unfortunate woman will be
treated in q civilized way. 1t is
probable that the city council OF
Little Falls and town board of Belle
Prairie will have Il conference, and
make some arrangements to care fO1
her until the place of residence can
be legally determined.
1t is mot probable that officers
of either the Cit or town are trying
to escape the responsibility that
rests upon them. but both sides art
positive that the other locality
should pay the expense OF caring for
Mrs. Boisjoli. Until the matter is
settled in u way that cOnvinces the
city and town they should Jointly
care for her.

A HODeful Outlook.

Brainerd Journal: The import
ance of getting men of this kind in
terested in Brainerd cannot be over
estimated. ii Mr.. ,Parker's able
work in getting the Messrs. Gibson
to take hold with him in Brainerd
investmen had been overthrow by
an adverse vote at the recent special
election, it would have been a public
calamity that the city would not
have Uutgrown during the life of the
present genera ton. Brainerd's
great Iced is men of wealth and in
fuence in the financial world to
build up great interests, around
which prosperity will inevitably be
found. The good Judgment of the
voters OF Rrainerd, as expressed at
the polls Dec. II, is a triumph in the
history of the industrial and COM
mercial progress of this city. At
last Brainerd may look gladly to
the immediate future With well
founded confidence.

Not Dangerously Hurt.

Joseph Smith, q macline-tcnder at
the Interstate flour mill, got caught
in some of the machinery Saturday
evening and received bad cut on
the head before he was released. He
was working about the rolls, and
stumbled and fell headlOng against
the pulley that propels the grinding
rolls. His arm, though not injured
was caught, and it held him fast in
Il position with his head against a
pulley and one side of his head was
quite badly burned and cut. He lost
q large amount of blood and it was
thought that he had sustained more
severe injuries, but an examination
proved that no bones were broken,
and he will be able to be out in a
week or so. He is now at st. Ga
briefs hospital.

Didn't Miss the Division.

st. Cloud Journal Press: One
thing has been demonstrated this
season. That is that the removal
of the division has not injured st.
Cloud to any great extent. The
merchants without exception declare
they have never enjoyed q better
holiday trade than this season. One
merchant whose stock does not con-
sist of over 81 200 worth of groceries
in the four days before Christmas
sold $3.50 worth in cash. A dry
goods merchant. Monday, locked the
doors OF his establishment owing to
the rush. All along the streets
nothing but good feeling is reported
and the loss of the division has not
been materially felt. 1t was a loss
which was more injurious in antici-
patton than in it's reaization.y 4

BROUGHT HER BHCK.
Mrs. Boisjoli, Who Was Sent
to Belle Prairie, Was a
Visitor in the City
Saturday,.

The police officers and the city
council have had Il very interesting
seance Saturday over Mrs. JOS. Bols-
.iOli, who was sent from this city to
Belle Prairie. Friday to have the au-
5thoritins take care of her, as she
claims that al her place OF residence,
according to pauper laws.
Policeman Roy took her Friday
to Belle Prairie and left her at the
house of Leon Boisjoli, after one OF
the town officers had refused to ac-
cept her as charge. Mr.. Boisjoli
was away. but he returned that
evening and mud her sent back to
this city. Mrs. Boiajoli, knowing
that she had no legal claim on this
city would not get out of the wagon,
and sat with her two children for
several hours out in the street ex-
posed to the weather. The driver
thought OF a scheme whereby he was
almost sure to get rid Of her, but he
was doomed to disappointment.
He was going to put his team up at
some hotel and leave her sitting In
the wagon, hut the city authorities
were too fly for him and had the
hotelkeeper posted and they would
not let him put the team in.
He finally came up to the city hall
for the purpose of consulting. with
the city council, which was holding
something of an Informal meeting
for the purpose of determining i"
mode of procedure in case hesucceed-
ed in unloading hi r here.
After a little persuasion on the
part of the council he finally agreed
10 take her back to Belle Prairie and
leave her with Town Clerk Henry
Rasicot. The officers followed him.
however, to see that he did as he
agreed to, and this will probably
settle the case SO far as this city is
concerned. The woman claims that
she has never lived owe: ten months
in any place since she left Belle
Prairie. and if such il the case, ac-
cording to the pauper law. she has
not gained a residence since she left
there and is still Il resident OF that
community, and the authorities
there are entitled to support her.
However, the authorities of Belle
Prairie claim to be able to prove
that sheshas lived at Brainerd con-
tlnuously for thirteen months since
she left Belle Prairie and also that
she has lived here fifteen months
since leaving that place. 1t is Diff
ficnlt to predict. the outcome OF the
case, as Belle Prairie seems deter
mined to shift the responsibility OF
her maintenance upon some other
community and Brainerd may enjoy
wrangle with that town such as
the city council Of this city hav"
been studying over for some time.

From fridays Daily
FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE WOODS.
Charles Sandin was Instantly killtdby
= a Falling Tree at Jones 4
"a. Hatchcr's Camp.

News was received in this city last
night by Coroner Trace, IF Il fatal
accident which occurred ut Camp No.
=, of Jones & Hatcher;s logging
works near Lincoln. The victim was
a sawyer, named Charles Sandin,
who was struck hy falling tree, ana
said to have been Instantly killed.
Coroner Trace was summoned TO
the place, and went to Lincoln on
the midnight train. He searched Tor
several hours to find the camp. but
was unable to find it, and returned
on the morning train. DR.. Trace
was not very we'll pleased with the
way Messrs. Jones & Hatcher have
acted in the matter, and thinks that
it would not have been more than
common courtesy for them to have
had some one meet him at the sta
ton aud pilot him through the
woods to the camp. Immediately
upon his return to the city he sent
them word to bring the body Of the
unfortunate man to this city, and al
SO to have everyone who knew any
thing about the accident to come
with it, or he would send after them.
1t certainly seems that they were
very slack in this case and are open
TO criticism. at least, for not assist
ing the officer in the discharge of his
duty.
OF the history of the man who was
killed but little ia known here. He
was hired at this place about two
month ago but had recently come
from Dakota, and at this time we
are unable to state where his home
is. The body will in all probability
reach the city by team some time this
evening, for the only train that pass
es that station today does not stop
there without special orders.
LATER - Coroner Trace received
word by telegraph that the body
would be sent down here on the
morning train.

= MINNESOTA PIONEER.
The Late Mrs. g. n. Tuttle
Many Years q Resident.o OF
Morrison County.

The pioneers of Minnesota. the
men and women who 50 dauntlesslv
braved the trials anil dangers OF lie
in the then wilderl ess Of the North
west in their attempt to found
homes, are fast passing away.
Word has just bee. received from
Pasadena, Cal, of the death there OF
Mrs. Calvin A. Tuttle. the first white
woman to live in the little town OF
st. Anthony and the second OF her
sex to dwell in what afterwards be-
came the town of Minneapolis, be-
fore st. Anthony and the Ia tier were
united. Mrs. Tuttle's husband. who
still survives her, was very promi-
nent in the early history Of the state
and il we'll remembered by many Ut
the old set tiers here.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Tuttles experience In
the days past were very interesting,
Mr.. Tutt!e was in the state before
1888, and at that time had charge of
the building of some mills at st.
Croix Falls for Franklin Steele. He
and his family, moved to the west
bank Of the river in 1851, and during
that year and the following he su-
perintended the building ofmills near
the location Of the present milling
district on the West side. Later he
erected mills at MinnetOnka and at
Little Falls, Morrison county. and
at Two Rivers in the same county.
The university acquired part Of it's
present beautiful grounds by gift
and several acres of land came to it
through his lib+rality.
When there were enough people in
this section of the Northwest to talk
politics. the territory of Minnesota
was set apart, and OF this organized
body of residents Mr.. futile was
elected treasurer. This was In l&49.
Nearly 10 years later it became nee
essary that a convention TIC called.
that the new state of Minnesota
might be provided with a cOnstitu-
ton. and Mr.. futile was one of the
members Of the gathering. Locally.
tribute has been paid to his early
prominence by the naming of one OF
the city schools after him.
The last three or four years have
been spent by Mr.. and Mrs. Tuttle
in Utah and California, the climate
of those states agreeing better with
their advanced ages than that OF
Minnesota. Mr.. Tuttle has passed
his S4th birthday, and. despite his
recent bereavement. is still cOmpar-
atively strong for man OF his
years.
Mrs. Tuttle was an earnest Christ
ian woman, whose virtue. prudence,
piety and gentle manners endeared
her to all who knew her. Her house
was always open to the needy and
those in distress. She leaves four
daughters, two OF whom, with their
husbands, live in this State-Mrs.

Should be at AnOka.

Commissioner Hooper, OF the
state insane asylum board, is en-
titled to the thanks of this part of the
state for changing his views On the
location of the fourth insane asylum,
and finally recognizing the claims OF
Anoka and the interests Of the
portion of the state that is at all in
terested i'm where the asylum is
located. We don't mean the inter-
est that Anoka and Hastings have,
but the interest that the communi-
ties feel that will have to send their
insane there. The new asylum will
be used to accommodate patients
from the Twin Cities and from the
northwestern part of the state.
Any neighboring city would be con-
venient for the Twin Cities. but any
city south or west of the Twin Cities
would he decidedly inconvenient for
this part of the state. Ancka can
be reached directly, while no rail
road that penetrates the northeast
ern pare of the state runs trains
beyond ST. Paul. The location of
the asylum at Anoka rather than
Hastings means saving of several
dollars on every patient conveyed,
besides the considerable saving in
time, and vast saving in trouble.
AS an example, Saturday afternoon
Sheriff Rider hud a patient he had to
take to Rochester. No train left St.
Paul until Monday monday morn
ing. He had to keep the patient
here thirty.six hours; and will have
to make change OF trains at st.
Paul.
1t is certainly desirable that the
insane patients may be taken to the
asylum as directly as possible, and
when it can be reached without a
change of trains, it is a considerable
advantage. The people OF Morrison
county have good reason to hope that
the asylum will be built at AnOka,
and it is remark able that any men,
hers of the commission could found
any logical reason for voting for
Hastings. J. H. Block. of st. Peter,
is the only member from southern
Minnesota who recognized the needs
of the situa ton.

INQUEST NOT NECESSARY.
No Blame Could be Attached to Any
One for the Accident Which Caused
SAndin's Death.

The body Of Charles. Sandin, who
was killed by afaIling tree at Jones
& Hatcher's lumber camp near
Lincoln Thursday, was brought to
this city on Saturday morning
The remains were in charge Of
August Sandin, L brother IF the de-
ceased, and were also accompanied
by several of the men who witnessed
the accident.
Charles Sandin, the victim. was
only l6 years Of age, and came TO
this place a year ago from Sweden.
This was his first experience III the
lumber woods, and he was at work
swnmpirg roads. The accident was
not due to the carelessness of any
one. ,He was standing at a safe
distance from tree which his
brOthe.' and another man was saw
ing down. and as it fell 1t struck
another tree that was nearly burned
through and it also fell and struck
Sandin, causing instant death. His
skull was crushed, his neck broken

gled.
Coroner Trace, after hearing the
sworn statements of the men who
witnessed the accident, did not think
it necessary to impanel jury for an
inquest. The remains were buried
Sunday afternoon at the Swedish
cemetery, site for which was
recently purchased by the Swedish
Mission society near Darling station,
about six miles northwest Of this
city.
The news item stating that the
crew of Jones & Hatcher, in whose
camp Sandin was killed, had not
taken sufficient pains to secure a
prompt inquiry by the coroner.
reflected somewhat unjustIy on that
firm and their crew. w. d. Card,
the camp foreman, was in the city
today and stated that the coroner
was sent for at once, and that he
was expected to leave the train at
Lincoln. Had he done SO he would
have been directed to the camp.
DR.. Trace got off the train at a sid
ing near the camp, but there was no
one there to direct him to it. He
returned to Little Falls and ordered
the body brought here at once,
which was done. The firm foreman
and men did dill that they could do
to promptly notify the officer, but
through a misunderstanding there
was no one at the siding to meet
him. They paid the expenses Of
burial, and did all that humane and
sympathic emplC yers could do.
