ARE LOOKING FOR SMITH
Authorities Are Looking For fraRt
Smith, A kensal
barbef.
Alleged That lie Brutally Beat his
Wife, fndsnperlny Her
Life.
Escaped From Constable aud Has
Succeeded ID Eluding the
Sheriff.

The authorities are looking for
Frank Smith,a barber of Kensal, who
is charged with having given his
wife brutal beating recently. Ad-
vices from Kensal are to the effect
that the woman was seriously injured
by her husband in his maddened
rage, following quarrel.
Smith was arrested by constable
at Kensal but succeeded in making
his escape and is in hiding, waiting
until the trouble blows over. His
wife has been under the care of a ply
sici9n and at one time it was feared
that she would die as result of the
injuries inflicted.
Kensal people are indignant over
the affair and are hopeful that Smith
may be located and punished. He has
quite reputation as scrapper and
is known as a Quick-tempered fellow.
All efforts of the authorities to Sc
cure any trace of him have proved
fruitless and one theory is that Smith
fled from the state, believing that he
had injured his wife so that her
death would result.

west on account of the coal shortage
than had been supposed was necessary.
The rail shipments of coal in the in
terror from the Head of the Lakes at
present amount to about two good
sized cargoes every twenty four hours.
It takes about 500 cars, as the cars
for the purpose run, to handle the
coal now going out from the Duluth
Superior docks, and the amount is
about 10000 tons a day. There has
never been a time in the coal busi-

the rail movement from here was
