hands of the governor unless he
grants an extension of time.
A copy of the charges pre-
ferred against Sheriff Torkelson,
together with a petition for his
suspension from office pending
impeachment proceedings, was
contained in the communication
to Mr.. Maybury, This petition
was denied. The document is
signed by Benjamin F. Brown,
United States land commissioner
of Bagley. and A. l.. Gordon, q
we'll known Shevlin merchant.
The complaint alleges that Torhel-
son is lawless, Incorporate,
violent and immoral in character,
and practices and is wholly unfit
by reason of such character to
fill the Office of sheriff of Clear
water county. 1t is alleged that
he often arrests citizens without
cause and has again and again
shamefully maltreated and IN
suited prisoners and for such
malpractices they pray his
removal.
The specific offenses enuner-
ated in detail occurred on the
night of November Dist last. 1t
is alleged that Sheriff Torkelson
and his brother ]. w. Torkelson,
who is deputy sheriff and justice
Of the peace, picked quarrel on
that date with Ellis Holt, james
Barnes and a brother Of Ellis
Holt whose name is unknown, in
Wagoner's saloon at Bagley. The
three young men were assaulted
and beaten bat not placed under
arrest. Later the Torkelsons
returned to the saloon and placed
the three men under arrest. In
the arrest the men were brutally
assaulted, and after they had
been handcutfed and manacled,

PLAN BIG CUT
WeyerhauserC0. toPut in Twenty
Million in the Vicinity
of Walker.

While no official announcement
bqs yet been made from Wash
ington as to the successful bid
ders at the recent sale of Chip
pewa pine, it is stated upon good
authority that the Wayerhauscl,
syndicate gets all but the nine
teen sections upon which the j.
Neils Lumber company put in a
bid.
MIR. Millett, a representative
OF the syndicate, was IN Walker
this week and stated that az.
are now being made
to begin logging operations with
out delay With view OF getting
out 20,OO0,OO0 feet this winter.
This work will be done north of
Walker, in the Steamboat Land
ing district, and the logs will be
RATED down to a point near here
for shipment by rail.
Mr.. Millett was making in
quilies in Walker as to the steam
boats that would be available
next summer for this work and
intimated that there would be
busy times during the remaining
months Of the winter and on the
water as soon as the ice dlsap-
pears in the spring.
Walker being the natual base
OF supplies for the operations
thus to be carried on will, OF
course, derive very material bcn-
eft and an impetus will be given
to business in the town. Moth
ING positive as to the establish
ment Of a mill here can yet be
learned, but nothing has devcl-
oped to diminish the confidence
heretofore entertained.

When citizens sought the

narrowly missed hitting one Of
