BOY SEEKS TO WRECK TRAIN.
Wisconsin Lad Would Get Even for Be-

Wisconsin Lad Would Get Even for Be-
ing Put Off a Freight.
Edward Hess, an 18-year old boy from
Chippewa Falls, Wis, was arrested in
Minneapolis Saturday night for the Wis
consin authorities, and was later turned
over to the sheriff from Chippewa county.
Hess is wanted to answer to the charge of
attempting to wreck a Wisconsin Central
train near Chippewa Falls a few weeks
ago. He treats the affair as a huge joke
According to the story told by the Off
GERS GERS Hess was elected from freight
train near Chippewa Falls and became
angry at the railway officials.-hHe nursed
his anger for several hours, and then de-
cided to have revenge -
he went out few miles from Chippewa
Falls until he found piece of railroad
rail about six feet long He-carefully ar
ranged one end under one of the rails and
allowed the other end to protrude over
the other rail This he thought would
throw the train into the ditch. Having
arranged his mechanism to suit himself
he sought hiding place in the brush near
He had not waited long until the sound
of whistle was heard in the distance.
Soon he could hear the roar of the train
increasing as the heavily loaded passenger
bound from Chicago to the Twin Cities
approached at it's highest speed. Sud
denly the heavy train rounded the curve a
few rods from where the obstruction was
placed on the track. The engineer saw
the piece of rail, but was unable to stop
his train in time to avoid catastrophe,
and putting on full steam he struck the
obstruction with full force. The heavy
mogul engine struck the iron fairly and
cut it as a pair of shears would have
done. The rest of the train passed over
the obstruction with no difficulty.
Hess came to Minneapolis, but the rail-
way authorities learned his identity and
the police here were asked to arrest him.
He was picked up on Washington avenue
and did not deny his identity.

North Minneapolis boys, We're in court at

over to the grand jury. No one appeared
to go bail for them, and they were re-
manded to the Anoka county Jail.

Harbors. A portion of 1t is shore land
and majority of it is considered espe-
cially desirable for settlement. This is
the first available land in that locality
which has been offered to homesteaders
for several years and as a result the
demand is unusual. One locator alone has
ninety clients, for whom he has made
provisions.
In view of the rush which is expected
on the opening days, the land office has
arranged to throw open one township

Present demands for land in Northern

IN many instances the infected persons

cases of the disease known. The disease
Is said to exist in fifteen families. Quar-

RECUPERATIvE POWERS.

Several days ago story was hatch
ed out to the effect that two negroes
were lynched at Hynes' Bluff in this
state, that is the formality was gone
through. Ropes were tied around
their necks and the negroes showed off
bridge sixty feet high. One rope
broke and the merge went sailing to
the bottom of the cold stream of water
below. The report continues to the
effect that the negro was not killed by
the fall, nor was he drowned, but
picking up himself he hied away to
other parts and is now enjoying life,
liberty and the fond pursuit of a crap
game.
A week or so before this occurrence
report comes from Alabama to the
effect that negro was legally hanged
or supposed to have been hanged until
he was dead and his soul had entered
the kingdom of heaven. But it seems
that his people, to whom his body
was given for burial, discovered life
in him and after a few hours work
brought him around all right and he
is now gone to help the other negro
shoot craps.
Some time ago near Drew in Sun
flower county, this state, negro was
arrested ON the charge of criminal as
sault on a white woman. The sheriff
who had him in charge carrying him
to Jail was overpowered by moi
and the nergo was taken from him.
He was carried off the road short
distance and the thirty men who com
posed the mob shot him thirty times.
He was left for dead, being riddled
with bullets, but the sheriff, who
went to look after his burial, founc
that the merge was still alive ant
within the next few weeks he was
able to sit up. Soon thereafter hi
was tried and, being convicted ant
sentenced to the penitentiary, is now
working on one of the convict farms
