ONE MAN SERIOUSLY INJURED

Duluth. Mimi, Sept. u. BY the
giving away OF scaffold sixty feet
above the ground four men engaged in
repairing a break in the Peavey con-
crete elevator were instantly killed
here last evening and one man serious
ly injured.
The Dead--Andrew Anderson, aged
3S, widower, whose home was in
Minneapolis; Oscar Ericsson, %, mar
ried; G. Anderson, 20, unmarried; IN
known man, about 81.
The Injured-John Swan, aged 40.
Swan was conveyed to a hospital
where it is thought that he will re-
cover.
The skulls OF the four men were
crushed, one of them to pulp, and
all sustained numerous fractures Of
the legs and arms When their fellow
workmen rushed to the scene after the
accident there was no sign Of life
among any of the victims with the ey-
ception mentioned. The men were
working on the interior OF the struc-
ture refining q, portion OF the elevator
which burst several months ago.

IT is somewhat surprising that
Herman II. Chapman, superin-
tendent of the Grand Rapids Ex-
pertinent Farm, should go before
a forestry meeting and advertise
the Jack and Norway pine lands
of Northern Minnesota as Of little
use for agricultural purposes.
Hubbard county has Jack and
Norway pine farms upon which
a crop Of wheat has been raised
continuously for from ten to fif-
teen years, without fertilizer,
enough to wear out the best land
under the sun, and the land is
still good and properly treated
will raise good crops. This
county has both prairie and pine
land as we'll as hard wood land,
but the pine land will raise pc
tatoes and all root crops that
open the eyes. of Iowa and Da-
kota farmers Hubbard County

RIGHTS OF THE FARMER.

Many city sportsmen have, in
newspaper interviews, severely
criticised Northern Minnesota
farmers for prohibiting shooting
on their farms during the open
season for game. The city men
seem to look upon the action Of
their brothers in the country as
something in the nature Of an in
suit. They are highly indignant
that their rights should be
thus interferred with, and their
sport in measure spoiled.
The farmer is justified in post
ing his notices notifying the pub
lie at large that no shooting will
be allowed on the premises. It
is strange that he has stood the
nuisance as long as he has. Most
of those who come into the coun
try for sport are bound to have
it at any cost-provided the cost
is paid by the other fellow, in
this case the farmer. They seem
to consider noone but themselves.
They want to shoot, and to shoot
at some living thing. Il wild
chickens are lacking they pick
off the tame ones, also knocking
over turkeys, ducks and geese
which happen to wander q safe
distance from the house. They
kill everything in the shape Of a
bird, from the little creatures
hopping about in the grass to the
real object Of their search, the
prairie chicken. Nor do they
stop here. Many Of the men are
in rigs, driving across country
where there are no roads, per
haps. A wire fence bars theil
way and they cut it. tits q much
simpler method than to follow i
along, searching for an opening
Aside from this wanton de
structiveness there is the frigh
and injury occasioned the farm
ers' stock. In many instances
the popping Of guns in the hand:
of a bunch of sportsmen has beer
the cause of valuable horses ant
cattle rushing against barbet
wire fences, badly tearing TIA
flesh.
AS rule the city man is self
ish and unreas enable. He re
fuses to recognize the rights 0
the farmer and makes himself
nuisance generally. He is ba'
person to have around. Can yo1
blame the farmer for driving hin
off his land?

CONDITION UNCHANGED
FATHER SAVAGE WHO WAS IN
 JURED WEDNESDAY,.
Surgeons Fear That Complications May Arise-He is Semi-conscious at Hospital-Many Sym
 pathetic Visitors.

The condition of Rev. Father Dennis Savage who was seriously hurt Tn run swav accident Wednesday afternoon al the corner of Adams and Bainbrioge Streets was reported early this morning as precarious by surgeons at his oeosioe at St. Margaret's Hospital:
 Father Savage spent fairly gooo oaS yesterday. His condition was semi-con- scious and he seemed to be suffering in tenselv hut the surgeons say that hii general condition was good. They are oi the opinion that five or six ribs are crashed and his shoulder blade is broken T5fs head sustained no injuries of a se' rious nature. Father Savage was able to take liquid nourishment.
 One of the attending surgeons said yes terday afternoon that the crushed ribs seemed to be bearing on the lungs or tne reverend priest and the chief fear IS based on the idea that this may bring on pneu- monia. If complications of this kind do moi arise the surgeons are of the opinion that Father Savage has good chance of recovery.
 The enquiries as to the condition ot Father Savage yesterday were many and heartfelt A steady stream of solicitous persons visited St. Margaret's throughout the day and the telephonic communica- lions were none the less numerous. on the streets the accident was frequently discussed and the sympathy of the whole community was with the injured clergy man.
 Father Hugh O'Brien, Assistant Rector of st. Peter's Parish, on hearing the news of the accident left Mobile. where he was to spend a few days. and returned to Montgomery yesterday morning. He spent the entire day at the bedside of Father Savage.

STATE CONVICTS IN GOOD
 CONDITION, SAYS CARMICHAEL

 As to County Convicts.

with the department, not convenient tc mention at length.
 As to County convicts.
 "The condition of the county convicts especially at Flat Top Mines. Is far from satisfactory, but to that your attention will be called in a special report to be made by Hon. Shirley Bragg and myself in a very few days.
 Tt may not be amiss to state that the agricultural operations of the department at Wetumpka. Speigner and No. are No. far surpasses our expectations and seems to settle one question-that the overflow in the grass farm does not re- suit in killing the plants.
 The contract between the State and Messrs. Clark & Son. for the lease of the cotton mill and seventy convicts at Speig- ners, terminated at their option on yes terday. When the board contracted with them something over two years ago everything necessary for the support of the convicts working ino the factory was much cheaper than now and hence the net profit to the State in the trade was much better than towards the close or termination of the contract The whole number of convicts thrown back upon the care of the department will be exchanged in the farms for those inured to hard la bor, or labor in the open air, and the stronger ones. nearly equal In number to those recently laboring in the cotton mills, will be placed in the mines oper- ated by the State. and with contractors at other labor during this week at prices which will place the department in bet ter shape financially than 1t would have been if the factory had continued to run. Nevertheless, for the sake of giving the convicts working in the mill an opportu- nifty to acquire a trade, or vocation. the members of the board would have pre- ferred to have continued the operation of the mill. and in this connection it may not be amiss to say that the chance for leasing the mill again as soon as the cot ton famine ceases. I have had the ma chinery connected with the mill thor oughly examined by MT. Montgomery, a practical cotton mill man. and he reports that he finds it in good condition.
 The mining operations of the State have now been carried on for a period of six months and we find that the depart ment has realized for the State the net sum of $100s40.69. True, several of the items making up this sum, amounting possibly to three thousand dollars. ara predicated upon estimates. but of a char acter to be reasonably safe.
 All of which is respectfully submit ted.
 Very respectfully your obedient ser- want, J. M. Carmichael, President Board Convict Inspectors"
 The report of President Carmichael is regarded as highly satisfactory.

City Building Not Building.

There is still no explanation of the ces- sation of labor on the new city buildings which stand partially erected on Ala bama and Franklin streets. Nothing so far has been heard from the contractor R. P. Manly, or from his foreman, Jim Hayes.
 The contract entered into by the city and the contractor required that the buildings should cost $25.OOO and that pay ments were to be made in installments de- pendent upon certain stages of approxi- mate completion. The first of these in stallments is now due but as it is to be paid in municipal bonds and the instru- ments have not come 1t Is impossible for the transfer to be made It was agreed. too, that the fire engine house should be completed by October l and that the city hall should be finished by January l next. To guarantee this agreement the contractor is under bond in the sum of 5000.
 There is no article in the contract re- quiring, that the, city should notify Mir. ManfSs Abonrdsnien of the discontinuance of work and 1t is expected nothing can be done until the bonds for the first in- stallment have come.
