OVER the NORTHWEST.


Mrs. Carney and babies were driving
out to spend the evening at Dan
O'Neips, they met with an accident
which, though not serious in its results,
created considerable excitement. While
crossing the railroad track near Dan
O'Neil's place the single-tree broke,
causing the tongue to drop from the
neck-yoke, which in turn caused the
buggy to tip over. The women escaped
injury by jumping, but Frank, who had
hold of the reins, was dragged over the
dash board and pretty badly shaken up.
The horses became disengaged from
the buggy and ran back to town, caus-
ing considerable excitement until it was
learned that no one was seriously hurt.

Grand Rapids, Minn.-County Attor-
ney ]. R. Donotue is after the tax
dodgers and is determined to compel
them to pay up. Under the law of 1899,
timber cannot be removed from lands
until the taxes have been fully settled.
1t is the duty of the county attorney
to place lien on logs that are cut when
it appears that there is delinquent taxes
against the land. Heretofore it has
been the habit OF the lumbermen, in
many cases, to take the timber and ale
low the cut-over tracts to revert to the
state by the delinquent route. Attor-
ney Donohue has notified all such that
they must either settle or stand the
consequences of having their logs han
died by the state. Failure or refusal to
comply with the provisions of the act
is misdemeanor and subject to GRIM
inal prosecution.
