Martin Changed His Mind.

The Two Harbors News tells the
following good one on Martin Beckett.
Those who know Martin viii apureci-
ate the humor Of the situation: The
other night up at Highland Martin
Beckett went back while the train
was sidetracked, to inquire into the
Intentions Of suspicious character
who was lettering around thecaboose.
He found typical hobo, with a big
bushy whisker and an evil eye. whom
he requested TO take a walk. A gun
which looked bigger than the Oregon's
thirteen inch was poked in his face.
and Martin hurriedly informed the
hobo that he could stay eternauy, as
he had not recognized him as the
Highland ghost when he ordered him
away. The next morning a section
man picked up a beard made from
hair from a cabOose cushion and a toy
pistol, but Of course this had no con-
nection with the tough stranger with
the big gun"

Phelps Creates a Stir.

Court house circles were greatly
stirred up last week by Mr.. Phelps
signed statement in one Of the Du-
luth dailies accusing Sheriff Sargent
with presenting each month ''illegal
charges" against the county. The
friends of the genial sheriff were
thinking seriously Of presenting
petition to the commissioners asking
for the resignation Of the county at
torney.
The csaIt house officials say that
Mr.. Sargent is the most careful Of all
who have bills to present for action
Of the county board. They claim that
under the old law, up till about eight
months ago. the sheriff had been re-
ceiving $3.50 a week for boarding
county prisoners, but Mr.. Phelps
pointed out TO him a general law
allowing but 43 cents day. st. Louis
county is under a special law, and Mr..
Sargent, according to this law, was
entitled to some 5000 for back board
for prisoners. There is another law
providing that all federal prisoners
shall pay 80 cents per day for board in
county jails, and the difference be-
tween the - cents under the general
law and the amount specified for
United States prisoners should be
turned over to the county. The sher-
ifs of St. Louis county for years past
have been unknowingly taking this
extra cents from the county. until
short time ago Mr.. Phelps called the
attention of Mr.. Sargent to it. Mr..
Sargent figured out what was due the
county from him and what the county
owed him, and there was a difference
Of S. in favor Of the sheriff, so he Of
fered to balance up the accounts and
call it square.

ManrThanks. Gentleman.

The Ely Miner appeared as six
column quarUO last week, and has
changed its day Of publication to Fri
day. The Miner is a very creditable
exponent Of Ely's resources, and its
prosperity meets the approval Of hosts
Of friends.-Two Harbors News.
The Ely Miner came down last week
in an enlarged and beautifed form.
We are glad of it because the 5-column
was too small for a man Of Pete
Schaefer's calibre to do the right
thing in. The Miner always was a
good newspaper and now il viii be
better-such being possible only be
cause it is bigger.-Hibbing News.
Peter Schaefer, an old time Medford
boy, now editor and proprietor Of the
Ely. MINI Miner, has improved and
enlarged his bright paper. The Miner
is now a six-column Quarto and its
columns are well filed with the
local news entertainingly dished up
for home readers and live advertising
Hastily displayed. This evidence of
Peters prosperity will be gratifying
to his many friends here.-Medford

Blind man Favored.

The Duluth land officers have made
decision in the contest cases brought
against the homestead entry OF
Samuel McClelland, of Two Harbors.
1t seems that he located on piece Of
land some years ago, and lived On it
for a couple Of years, clearing con
siderable and cultivating about three
acres. He was overcome by blindness.
and was forced to leave the land after
two years residence, and went to
Two Harbors, he could get medical
treatment. He is IS years Of age.
Last month he offered to make final
proof. but two contests had been
entered one by NJ. G. Newell and one
by J. ]. Gaynor. They charged
abandonment Of the land. When the
facts were presented to the land
officers they promptly dismissed the
contests and, in their letter TO the
general land once, said:
THE case is a pitiful one. 1t ap-
pears that the entryman had COM
piled with the law down to the sum-
mer of 1897, and then had lost his eye
sight and was unable to remain on
the land.
This Office has information that
attempts were made by at least the
senior contestant to force a relinquish
ment from the entryman BY reason of
the contest. and it seemed TO Us a
gross outrage that this blind man
should be subjected to expense and de-
lay by these contests in view Of the
fact that the merits Of the case seem
to be entirely with him,
ut has long been customary at
this Office, and that custom is by no
means losing its force, that contests
are initiated against any entryman
whose claim is of any value, and TO
avoid the delay and expense Of the
contest the entryman usually sacri-
fees his claim for less than it is worth
or buys his peace for such sum as viii
be accepted by the contestant.
We recognize, of course, that the
procedure il unusual, and it is one
that we have, except in one other in

1898, but Ashland is still behind its
shipments to the corresponding date

Gogebic mines in the past ten days

mining forces intact, though some
diversion of labor TO the harvest fields

Range League.

There has been much talk the. past
week of organizing range base ball
league next year, to take in the towns
of Ely. Tower, Eveleth, Hibbing and
Virginia. Manager Brady of the
Hibbing team was here Saturday and
spoke in favor Of it, in fact he Is will
ing todevote considerable time toward
working the matter up and perfecting
the organization. The summer Of
1896 the Mesaba and VermiliOn ranges
had a four club league and the resi-
dents were frequently treated TO
first class article of base ball. The
league was not reorganiZed in 1887
owing to the depression in business
and many Of the lovers Of the national
game was greatly disappointed. Now
that a league is again talked OF there
is no apparent reason why the pro-
motion should not go ahead. They
can get plenty Of support from the
business people and that is the most
essential part Of all After club is
placed on a good foundation it is al
ways self-sustaining, Come to the
front all you lovers of the game and
give the league project a boost.-Fir-
