Meyers Body Found.

The body of the man, Frank Movers.
who was drowned in Fall lake on
Monday, July 2, was found Friday by
Vincent DeFOe the Indian. The
body had tioated to the shore where
it had been partly thrown upon the
beach. Undertaken Gleason's assis-
tant. Al. Kohlstat, went out Monday
and the remains were brought to the
cemetery where they were inferred.
Meyers home is said to be at Detroit,
Mich, where word of his death was
sent but nothing has been heard OF
any relatives. The remains when
buried were an unacceptable mass
of dccomposed matter and coulds not
have been shipped anywhere.
Edwin Case a companion of Meyers,
created quite a sensation by story
he told to a Duluth paper of the boat
captains refusal TO carry the men
because they had no money only time
checks, but which story has since been
found untrue and circulated with the
intent to harm the company. Case
said: Five men quit at the camp vi

Another Cutting ARRAY.

Sunday evening the eternal fitness
Of things was completely turned
topsy-turVey by the announcement
that Finn had been cut by an Aus
TRAN. AS near as we can ascertain. a
Finn, whose name we did not learn,
was looking for trouble near the depot
where he pulled knife on an Aus
trian who was singing his way home.
The Austrian did not wish to get
mixed up in Il scrap and retreated up
Sheridan street, the Finn with his
partner following him nup. Later in
the evening the Finn was cut in the
abdomen, the cutting taking place in
the street near Smokes saloon. From
several who were present the authori-
ties learned the cutter was one Mike
MOURN and his arrest took place. The
Firms claim MOURN was the same
man the row started with near the
depot, but several other witnesses
claim lie is not the fellow who was in
the original mix.
MOURN is still in jail and nothing
has been done by the court owing to
the condition of the principal witness.
The injured man is recovering how
ever. and the case will probably come
before Judge Van Blarcom either to-
morrow or the first of next week.

Mesaba Land Involved.

-Four suits have been commenced
by August Schrupp against George
A. Elder ct. al. in district court in
which the complaints state the plain
tiff owns an undivided one third inter
est ina quantity Of land on the Mesa ba
range. Certain parties, defendants in
the suits hold forfeited tax sale certi-
ficates against part Of the land, while
the defendant George Elder owns
one third interest i'm the same. but
his interest is encountered by reason
of a number of judgments which
operate as a lien on his portion. The
plaintiff states that the lands cannot
be divided in partition without pre-
judice to owners and asks the court
to order the land sold and appoint a
receiver in order that the proceeds
may be equitably divided between
the parties. The amount of land in
volved is between GOO and 700 acres.

Two Good Games.

Saturday and Sundays games be-
tween the Big Duluth and Ely teams
were among the best games it has
been the fortune of Ely audiences to
witness. Good, snappy ball playing
characterized the games from start tn
ilnlsh and everybody played ball. The
nrst game was not as good as SUNDAYS
exhibition owing to the profusion of
errors on both sides. Joe Mack did
the tWlrling for the Ely team and
only one hit was registered in the en-
Tire niue innings, the hit being made
by Hanseli the Duluth pitcher, from
whom the Ely boys secured seven hits
during their part of the game. Mack
was little at outs in the game and
gave several men transportation to
1rst on balls. The game was. good
however and muchly enjoyed. The
score by innings was as follows:
Duluth 3 0 0 0 / O II
Ely a 20 4 0 / L 0 4 so
Sundays game was much superior
to the previous one. Space will not
permit US to make Il long story but
we will say that had it not been for
several bad plays on the part of the
Ely boys the Big Duluth team would
have been without u score. Win
Gleason and Con Sullivan were the
battery for Sundays game The
score and pfaTerS were .ns follows.

New Ruling.

General Land Commissioner Her
mann has issued Il circular to regis
tiers and receivers of local land offices.
in which he calls attention to an act
of the last congress which makes it
possible for humesteaderS to make
second homestead entries. Particular
attention is called to the fact that a
hOmeSteader who committed his entry,
that is to say, a homeSteader who re-
sided on his selection for fourteen
months and then paid the government
ST. % an acre for the land, is also al
lowed to make ;rsecond entry in lieu
of remaining Oh the land five years.
If this selection should also be com
muted lie cannot make another en-
try.
The act under which the present
law is operative also provides that
any person who has made a homestead
entry, but from any cause has lost or
forfeited the same, shall be entitled
to the benefit of the homestead laws
as though such former entry had not
been made. Therefore. says the
commissioner, you will not hereafter
| reject Il homestead application on the
ground that the applicant cannot
take the prescribed oath that he has
not previously made such an entry,
or because he has perfected title to
land entered under the homestead
| law, that he will be required to show
by affidavit designating the entry
formerly made by description of the
land, number and date of entry. or
other sufficient data. to enable the
same to be modified on the records of
this office.
