Clifford Davis. aged 20. was shot to
death at the home of his her, Fred
Davis, one mile from Harvey. Young
Davis was sitting on the front veran-
da, working on a Winchester rife. The
young mans mother was the only
other person at home, and she was in
side the dwelling. She heard the dis
charge of the rifle, and, hurrying to
the veranda, saw her son falling from
the veranda to the ground. The bull
let of the rifle had struck the young
mans lower lip, tearing out his tongue
and passing through the lower part OF
his head. Death was instantaneous.

of Maine, has invented a new kind of
trap nest which he contends will COM
pei reluctant hens to lay two or more
eggs a day. Before introducing the
new nest to the poultry they must have
become familiar with the ordinary trap
nest. This is a box with two rooms
so arranged that when the hen enters
the first and passes through door into
the second she touches a spring which
closes the middle door behind her. Here
she remains in solitary confinement
until the man who gathers the eggs
sets her at liberty. 1t is asserted that
in few weeks a hen. realizing that
depositing an egg is the price OF her
liberty, will lay the egg, even though
she may have felt no inclination to do
so when she went into the nest. Mr..
Dodge's invention is in the form of an
extra compartment attached to the
second chamber of q common trap
nest. Having laid an egg in the usual
nest the hen waits until the attend
ant comes auong to set her free. In
the Dodge patent she goes into a sec
ond trap nest. from which she cannot
escape until she has laid once more. A
hen unfamiliar with the Dodge nest
Will not get the hang of the invention
until she has suffered from close con-
fnement for few days, but 1t Is as
serted that after learning that there
IS no means of escape until she has
produced a second egg. her desire for
freedom overcomes ancestral habit
and the additional egg is forthcoming.
Mr.. Dodge is now experimenting with
still another compartment, hoping that
he may coax the hen to lay three eggs
day. He contends that the estab-
lished rule among hens of yielding no
more than one egg day is merely a
lazy habit which has been confirmed
by long usage. He says that IL old
Grimes hen could lay two eggs on
Sunday there is no reason why all
hens could not lay two or more every
day.

Sentiment Said to Again Be Stirring
Owing to the Holding Up Of Road
Fund Appropriations through, !:
PETITION OF DULUTH MEN
Styling Themselves the ''Tax-Payers
League" Range Residents and
Commissioners are Warm.

The county division proposition,
which has been looked upon as a
dead one since the last fight in 1900,
is accredited with having received
an impetus through the action
taken by seven taxpayers of the
Zenith City styling themselves the
"Tax.Payers League" in their a;c:
tion in petitioning the county at
torney to appeal from the allow
ances of six claims for road work
done on county highways in the
range and~outlying precincts.
The result of this action on the
part the petitioners, who are not re-
ferred to in mplimentary terms
by the range commissioners, will
be to place an effective check on any
more road work in the range dis
tricts, and will seriously discom-
mode the farmers and pioneer
settlers who have been clamoring g
for roads to get out to the towns.
The injustice of a law that will
permit seven men to tie up the de-
velopment of rich section simply
because it's interests are not
identical with those of the petition
ers, to whom the fact that the
ranges have made St. Louis county
and pay upwards of 60 per cent OF
the taxes thereof is as naught com
pared with possible 80 cent addi-
to their own tax list, is apparent to
all range residents, who recognize
that the delay in road building
means material drawback to the
opening and development of ad-
jacent farm sections and a conse-
quent drawback to the prosperity
and liability of the cities to be di-
rectly benefited thereby, and the
range commissioners and their con.
stituencies have wearied of the con.
tinued delay caused by these ap-
peals and it is strongly intimated
that the talk and work tor county
division will not only be revived
but that many who in the previous
fight were passive in the matter or
openly opposed to the division
proposition will in another cam.
paign be found among the strong.

quest to Remedy Sewer Defects.
In accordance with instructions
from the city council, Clerk Thomp.
son last week informed Contractor
McDonnell of the condition of the
ma in sewer of the Virginia system,
rec qently installed by him, but up to
Tuesday evening at the time of the
regular council meeting he had
failed to- reply or in any manner
signify his willingness to rectify
the reckless work done under his
contract.
This apparent disposition of the
contractor to refuse to remedy the
defects in his work was brought up
at the meeting Tuesday evening
aside from an interesting @report
from the sewer committee, showing g
additional defects unearthed dur
ing the week, and that body prom pt-
~ acted upon the issue by instruct
tons from City Attorney Poirier to
at once invoke assistance from the
best legal authorities in Duluth,
that the city's position in the prem
Uses may be known and thoroughly
understood, and prompt action will
doubtless be taken thereafter to
either compel the completion of the
contract in accordance with the
plans and specifications or to re-
pair the glaring defects found to
exist and7charge same against his
account, or if the balance due is not
sufficient to cover cost Of repairs, to
hold his bondsmen for the same.
The report Of the sewer commit.
tee would indicate that great
amount Of work had been done in
looking up the method in which the
sewer had been laid, and additional
defects in same were not found
wanting, It being stated that in GER
tain places the sewer pipe had been
laid on the top Of rocks and above
level, rather than to go to the nec-
essary expense of blasting and re-.
moving the obstruct tions and prop

line far out Of level and disjointed
at various places.
