AND THE Dam WENT UP

On Friday afternoon last occurred
another chapter in the history of
the famous Cedar Island ely lake
lands, the settlers holding little
premature Fourth Of July celebra-
ton with the result that the second
dam built by the Cloquet Lumber
company for the purpose of driving
the logs cut from the lands of the
homesteaders last winter was blown
into eternity-or some other bourne
whence it will never return.
The dam was guarded by five dep
uty sheriffs, but this force had no
terror for the determined home
steaders, who held them up and
proceeded to put hundred sticks
of dynamite where they thought it
would do the most good, and their
judgment was commendable.

STINSON THE WINNER.
Exciting Times in 30-MiIe Motor Race al
Charles River Park

Boston, June 17.-Will Stinson won
the 30-mile motor paced race at
Charles River park. this afternoon,
Johnny Nelson was second and
Jimmy Michaels. once the king, was
two miles in the rear. Fully $1,000 peo-
pie saw the race and for a time it was
thrilling. Nelson was booked to win,
but he went so fast that his motor
tandem simply slid from beneath his
pace makers; they went down in a
heap; he fell himself. lost in changing
to another wheel, and in picking up his
second motor tandem. But then he al
most won the race, taking second place
to Stinson.
Stinson, too, had his share of bad
luck. Just when he had the race ap-
parently secure his motor tandem fail
ed him and he almost lost all he had
gained from Nelson: but he had a
whole skin and no bruises. while Mel
son was bleeding from elbow ana
shoulder; and so Stinson rode with
comparative ease into first money,
which was worth nearly $500.
