LOST IN THE WOODS
Mrs. Mary Fink, 78 Years Old,
Wandered for Two Nights
and Three Days.
Had No Food and Was Thinly Clad,
but Walks Into ingram Safe
and Sound.
SpeciaI to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Tony, Wis. April latter spending
two whole nights in the woods with no
companion but small dog, Mrs. Mary
Fink, IS years old and residing on a farm
four miles south of Tony, yesterday
walked into the village Of Ingram, nine
miles east of Tony. Her faithful dog was
still with her, and both were hungry and
tired Mrs. Fink was thinly clad, and had
no food while away from home.
The disappearance of Mrs. Fink on Sun
day created a great sensation in the vii
lage. Searching parties were formed. and
when no trace of her had been found it
was feared she had met with foul play OF
had been killed by wild animals. Ernest
Fink, her son, yesterday telegraphed as
last resort to Minneapolis Of
flcials to send pair Of blood
hounds They had no bloOdhounds al
their disposal, and the request Of the de
spairing son was forwarded to the super
intendent Of the St. Cloud reformatory.
Mrs. Fink walked into Ingram before
the dogs could be shipped. She is unable
to account for her actions. She seems
| in no way to suffer from the two night
and three days experience in the woods.

EARNINGS INCREASED
Iowa Reads Report In Accordance With
Executive Councils Request.


Executive Councils Request
DES MONIES, MINN.-The reports of
the railro I'd companies for assessment
purposes for 1902, are beginning to come
into the office of the secretary Of the
executive council. None of the greater
systems of the state, however, has re-
ported. The Iowa Central made its re-
port yesterday and showed largely in-
creased gross and net earnings on the
Iowa mileage. In 1901, the net earnings
were $S41 a mile and in 1902 they We're
SeG2 a mile The showing is instructive
as pointing to heavy earnings on Iowa
lines generally last year.
; The Iowa Central and other lines that
have reported have partially complied
with the wishes Of the council to classify
gross earnings and say they are keeping
their accounts so as to comply fully with
the councils wishes year from now. II
is believed that some of the great systems
Of the state; at least. will comply fully
with the councils wishes this year.
