contended the option had expired.
A unique point has been raised in
the United States court by lawyers repre-

provide. that Chimes awaiting ex-
portation cannot be released on bail

cided as to whether he could release him
on bail. A writ Of habeas corpus was
issued by Judge Knowles and argued. The

pretty hard for Madison hunters to get
a crack at the sportive chicken without
squaring himself with the practical
farmer. One can go for twelve miles in
any direction from Madison and find the
roads lined with these signs. A party Of
local sports was obliged to camp out, four

the hills. In the course Of one Of his ram
bles he ran across some greensboro and
other indications Of iron, and made up
his mind that there was ore in the
vicinity.
When he returned to Duluth he in
formed Robert Whiteside Of his discov-
cries and offered to make the latter a
partner If he would finance the explora-
ton and development Of the tracts in
view, the location Of which he did not
disclose. Mr.. Whiteside accepted the
proposition and when taken to the Bara-
boo district at once decided, as had Mr..
LaRue, that there was ore there. OPP
tons were quietly secured at low fig
ure and later mining men were interested,
among them the Deering Harvester peo-
pie, who are operating on lands leased
from LaRue and Whiteside.
New MenomInee Range Company.
The Scott Iron company, recently or
ganized with a capital of $125,000, is the
latest mining corporation formed to
operate on the Menominee range. It's
scene Of operations will be at what is
known as the Dickey-Scott exploration,
near Iron Mountain. The property is con-
sidered of fattering prospects, having
already two shafts in merchantable ore.
Machinery has been ordered to further
the development work and in addition q
diamond drill will be used to aid In PROV
ing up the deposit. The stockholders are
F. A. Spies and J. M. Thompson, the
well known Menominee lumbermen, and
Messrs. Dickey, Scott and Vertiville OF
Iron Mountain.
Corrigan, Mckinney & Co. have re-
sumed ore shipments from the old Quin-
nesec mine and the resumption Of mining
operations is now looked for.
The Niagara Mining company, which
controls tract Of mineral land near
Michigamme, has arranged for thore
test of the property. Ore has been en-
countered by test pits and now diamond
drills are to be put to work to determine
the extent of the deposits.

Plot on the Part of Miss

Dispatch From Marshalltown, How

Special to The journal.
Webster City, Iowa, Sept. 5.-As a
sequel to her romantic marriage to A. p.
Isenhart,s the Marshalltown bigamist, in
this city about a month ago, Miss Emma
Mitchell of Clemmons Grove has now
eloped with Will Frank Of this city.
Isenhart was a fireman on the Iowa
Central, and lived in Marshalltown with
his. family. He often went to Clemmons
Grove, a little town about twelve miles
from MarshalltoWn, where he courtad
Miss Mitchell, who knew nothing Of his
family or that he was q married man.
After brief but ardent courtship, the
two decided to come to Webster City and
be married. The girls brother accom-
panied them and swore to the marriage
affidavits They were married and went
to Nebraska to spend their honeymoon.
The fact that Isenhart was married
man, however and a man Of family soon
got out and the brother Of wife No. 2
swore out a warrant for Isenhart's ar
rest The two were captured and brought
back to this city, where Isenhart was
given a preliminary hearing and held to
the grand jury. Both wives appeared
against him. tho apparently unwillingly.
After the hearing wife No. 2 often went
! to the jail to see Isenhart. She stopped
at the Grand Central hotel and met Frank
| there. He was the cook, and had come
to the city but few days before Miss
Mitchell stopped there. After an /acquain-
lance of but few days the two an
nounced their intention to marry. They
| left on an afternoon train for Fort Dodge,
where they said they would wed and
would return to this city on a late train
the same evening. They did not return,
and inquiry at Fort Dodge brings out
the fact that they have not been mar
ried there, have not been In the city at
all, in fact.
simultaneously with this information
an attorney Of Marshalltown appeared In
the city and began arrangements to raise
Isenhart's bond, which had been placed
at only $500. County Attorney Blake
says that he believes Emma Mitchells
disappearance from the city is merely a
blind and that she has not nor does not
intend to marry the man Frank. He
thinks that the going away Of the two
together Is simply a deep-laid plot to
give Isenhart and the girl "a chance to
meet each other, when the former gets
out on his bond, which it is understood
his parents are furnishing.
.MARsHALLToWN, IOWA A. E.
Isenhart, the Iowa Central fireman and
bigamist, who has been bound over to the
Hamilton county grand jury, arrived in
this city yesterday, having secured bonds.
He was met at the train by wife No.
and his mother and is now living with the
woman he deserted for the Mitchell girl
The wronged wife seemed overjoyed on
his return and will undoubtedly aid
him when his case comes to trial or in the
insanity proceedings which, 1t Is expected
will be brought before the commissioners
in this city.

CRAZY MAN IN THE WOODS
Olson Jumped from Train While 1t Was
Running at High Speed.


BEMIDJI, MINN-August Olson, the
bartender charged with criminal assault
in the second degree who has been in
the county jail since June awaiting the
action of the grand jury, and who was
taken to Brainerd yesterday to be exam
ined as to his sanity, escaped from the
Minnesota & international passenger
train at o'clock last night while being
brought back to BemidJi In charge of two
physicians and deputy sheriff.
The train was two miles from town
and running at the rate Of thirty miles
an hour. Olson made sudden dash for
the door, gained the platform and leaped
to the ground. He fell and rolled over
several times, then scrambled to his feet
and plunged into the woods. He has not
yet been found.
He is laboring under the hallucination
that he has been sentenced to be hanged,
and it Is thought he will carefully avoid
all persons. which will make his capture
the more difficult.

There will be two less stops between

to interfere materially with the conven-

probable that the next; six months will
witness the greatest immigration of Firms
yet recorded for such O. period in the his
tory Of this country. OF late years many
thousands Of Firms have immigrated,
many of whom settled in northern Mich
igan, but the oppression at home has now
become SO unbearable that the irnmigra-
ton for some time at least promises to
increase materially.
= For the most part, the Firms make good
citizens. Ehey not only till the soil and
cut the timber, but they are found in the
mines and are displacing other nationali-
ties to some extent. They are a saw
ing, thrifty people, and they pay their
bills, while bankers say they deposit their
savings more freely than any other ma
tionality.
