The state auditor was seen with re-
gard to the matter yesterday, and he
said that the statements might all be

that the timber was cut on state lands.
Last year the auditor had several "cruis-

sections Is and Sc, in township 153, have
not been trespassed upon. The commun-
tcation also states that considerable TIM
Der is being cut in the Duck river and
Battle river districts
The auditor will investigate all the
charges and if any violators Of the law
can be found will take pains to bring
them to justice. In past years it has
been noticed that many men have taken
homesteads in the northern part of the
state, cut all the timber, and then de-
serted their lands. It cannot be claimed
by so-called settlers that the lands where
trespassing is alleged to have been go
ing on are agricultural lands. The Red
lake country is sixty or seventy miles
from any railroad The auditor says
that it would be absurd to make any such
assertions, for, on the face of the state
. ments made as to trespasserS if there
are any in the districts mentioned, they
are there for purpose.

laying them out in order, after which
they covered him up with blankets

the purpose of moving the tower some
yards up stream to pick up some ma

crooked, and stepping around in front
of the machinery he tried to kick it
into place. His left foot was caught
under the wire rope, and he was drawn
onto the iron dIum. Two revolutions
were made before the machinery could
