FAITHFUL TO DEATH

The Pioneer Press, Minnesota,
prints the following incident which
occurred at Great Falls, Montana,
last spring.
The victims Of the recent biz
zard that swept over the northern
portion of that state, killing thou
sands Of lambs and number OF
cattle, are now being found with
the passing of the Snow. In near
ly every case the victims were
sheep herders who were caught in
the storm and frozen to death be-
fore they could reach shelter. AL
most Without exception these
sheep herders are men without
connections of any kind. One OF
the most pathetic cases that has
come to light is that Of William
Der, an aged man, whose sole
friend, SO far as known, was a
handsome shepherd dog which he
had raised from a puppy. This
dog could do almost everything
except talk. When Shep, as he
vas called dragged himself iuto

with two oi his legs frozen, tt,

loF MIN without the aid Of the
dog, and as the animal was, ap
parently, too disabledss to make
another move, it was proposed to
wait several days before searching
for the body OF the missing man
Shep, in spite of his condition
was ready to lead the party, how
ever, and although the progress
was slow and painful over the
snow-covered hills and wales, the
faithful dog led the party to the
body of his master. Crouchine
beside the frozen corpse the dog
worn almost to q shadow by the
hardships he had undergone, ut

the dog were buried in the sam
grave.

st. Paul will furnish the first coll
ored young woman graduate from the
Minnesota state university. Miss Scot
tie Primus Davis, of 527 Aurora avenue,
is the young woman who will receive
her degree of bachelor of arts from the
board Of regents of the university on
Thursday morning, and her graduation
marks an epoch in the life of the uni
versity, for she is the first of her sex
of the colored race to receive degree
at the Minnesota institution of learn
ing.
Miss Davis, who is comedy young
woman of twenty, is a graduate of the
st. Paul Central high school, class Of
1899, and she was the first colored girl
to receive a diploma there for num-
Der of years.
Miss Davis graduation from the
highest institution of learning in the
state has been made the subject of con-
siderable comment in circles of the col
ored people of ST. Paul. Both the Afro
American newspapers published in st.
Paul have spoken in complimentary
terms of her and her successful work
at the state university, and it is said
to be not improbable that she will take
a professional course in either law or
medicine.

ter of Addison Davis, head waiter at

DEMOCRATS TO HAVE
Big TINE IN DULUTH
Zenith City Making Elaborate
Preparations to Entertain
Coming Convention.

When the Democratic state delegate
convention meets at Duluth, June %,
the state central committee will meet
at the same time to issue the call for
the state nominating convention The
prospects are that the convention will
be called for a date late in August or
early in September Consensus Of
opinion among the leaders of the state
democracy appears to be that the con-
Z Ventlon should not be called until after
the national Democratic convention
meets and makes nominations of pres
laent and vice president and declares
it's platform.
IL Is believed that the action of the
national convention will in some meas
ure influence the state convention in
Its choice oeAa candidate, and Mime
sofa Democrats apparently want to be
certain of their ground in nominating
candidate for governor and forrnu-
ldtlng the platform on which he will
make the canvass of the state. The
convention at Duluth will bring prac-
tcally every member of the state COM
lHletee TO that city, and it is believed
mat the time is opportune for holding
the meeting of the committee at the
Same time that the state delegate con-
ventlon is in session.

LIST STILL GROWS
Republican Candidates for Rail.
road Commission Increase.

The already long list of candidates
for the Republican nominations for
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion was increased last Saturday by
the announcement of the candidacy of
e. ]. Herringer, county auditor of
Norman county, for one of the places.
Herringer is an alternate to the Re
publican national convention at Chi
cago, and his name was used in con-
nection with filling the vacancy in the
office of the public examiner when P.
A. Gunders retired nearly three months
ago. The Norman county man, how
ever, refused to consider the offer of a
place in Sam Johnson's office, and his
refusal is now explained by his can
didacy for the railroad and warehouse
commission.
His entrance into the fight complexities
matters in the Ninth congressional dis
trict, for he is the third candidate to
appear from that district. Ira B. Mills,
of Moorhead, at present a member of
the commission, is candidate for re-
election; Ezra b. Valentine, of Brock
enridge, has been in the field for some
time, and has elements of strength,
and now comes Herringer, who is said
to be strong in the upper end of the
district.
There are rival candidates for the
nomination in the First district, where
A. L. StebbinS, of Rochester, and ]. H.
Burns, of Lanesboro, clash geograph-
ically; also in the Second district,
where w. E. Young, of Mankato, and
Thomas Crawford, of Lakef1eld, con-
fiict. and in the Eighth, where j. G.
Miller, at present a member of the
board, and originally from Lake coun-
ty, and Daniel NJ. Gum, of Grand Rap
ids, will probably divide the county.
The convention will, it is predicted.
have no end of trouble in settling the
question of the two nominations to be
made from the field of almost a dozen
candidates.

STATE OBTAINS SITE
Purchases Remainder of Land
Needed for Sanatorium.

The sanatorium for consumptives, for
which the last legislature made f.
nancial provision, bids fair to be an
accomplished fact. The state board of
control has just closed a contract with
Joseph Schooner, a real estate owner of
Walker, for the purchase of his tract
of $50 acres adjoining the village on
Leech lake at a price of SIS per acre.
Preliminary arrangements for the
purchase of the Schooner tract were
made by the board Of control in March,
but not until Saturday did the board
close the deal with the owner OF the
land. Other tracts had previously
been acquired by the board of control
for a site for the proposed sanatorium,
and the Schooner farm completes the
required area.
While the sanatorium will cover a
comparatively small area, the treatment
contemplates a life out of doors and the
state will provide natural park about
which the patient may roam at will. The
Walker site was selected some months
ago by a commission named under
the law.

STEARNS COUNTY
DIVIDED OVER HEARST
Judge Calhoun Says II Is a Battle
Ground of the Two Factions.

David T. Calhoun, judge of probate
of Stearns county, is at the Windsor
hotel, and says that his county is still
battle ground between the Hearst and
anti-Hearst Democrats. Judge CAL
houn is strongly anti Hearst in his
sympathies, though he is the senior
member of a law firm of which James
r. Bennett Jr. is the junior, and almost
every Minnesota newspaper reader
knows that Bennett is Hearst's Mime
sofa manager.
81 do not care to predict the out
come in our county,, said Calhoun
last night. 1T is doubtless true the
original lines of demarcation between
the factions have been lost sight of
and the question of the political con-
troll of the county is now more of an
issue than whether Hearst or anti
Hearst delegation shall be sent to the
state convention at Duluth. While 1
have an idea which of the factions will
win, it cannot be denied that small
politics are being INDUCED in by both
factions"

CAR STRIKES GIRL
Eight.Year-OId Minnie Rawit-
scher Seriously Injured.

Minnie Rawitscher, eight years old,
was seriously injured yesterday after
noon by a Hamline and Jackson car
at the corner of Thirteenth and Jack
son streets. The girls scalp was torn
on the right side of her head, her face
was lacerated, and she is suffering from
internal injuries.
Minnie, together with Amelia and
Bonnie Steinberg, eight and four years
of age respectively, were on their way
to their homes after seeing the Memo
rial day parade on Cedar street, and
were run down as they attempted to
cross Jackson street in front of the
car, which had slowed down as it APP
preached Thirteenth street. The chill
dren, thinking that the car would stop,
made an effort to reach the opposite
side of the street, but were unable to
clear the track before the car was upon
them.
The two Steinberg children, who
were ahead of the other child, barely
escaped being struck. ; They fell to the
ground after having cleared the track,
and each suffered bruises. Minnie, be-
ing unable to get out of the way of the
car, was struck by the fender and
thrown ten feet, striking her head
against the sidewalk. She was picked
| up unconscious and the police ambu-
lance was summoned. Before the am
bulance reached the scene Of the ac-
| cident, however, the child had been re-
| vived by neighbors, who carried her to
her home, 22S Spruce street DR.. Mar
Gus Tessler was summoned and he
dressed the injuries of the girl as well
as those of her two companions, who
live at 553 Sibley street.
DR.. Tessler said last night that he
would not be able to tell before today
what the outcome of the girls in
| jurieS will be.

The long-deferred announcement by
