VERY QUEER
Brainerd Base Ball Club Face
to Face With Serious
Charges.

The question Of the amatuer
base ball championship for north
ern Minnesota is exciting con
siderable interest. Brainerd
claims it by virtue of the two de-
feats administered to Bemidj il re
Gently and by the two games it
won from the Fashions of
Duluth a few days ago. How
ever, the Fashions declare that
they we're robbed of the games
at Brainerd and challenge Brain
erd to game on neutral grounds
for $3.50 and the championship of
northern Minnesota. Every club
which has played at Brainerd
makes the same charges of I'M
fairness and this fact in con-
nection with the fact that Brain
erd has lost most of it's games
away from home makes their
title to the championship very
questionable.
Two Harbors also issues a
challenge to Hibbing, Duluth,
Bemidji or Brainerd for the
championship and 500 a side,
the games to be played on any
ground

Vernon Slough Sustains Serious
Injury in Runaway Acct
dent Yesterday.

Vernon Slough, aged sixteen,
sustained a broken leg yesterday
afternoon in a runaway accident
about eight miles south of the
city. He was driving a spirited
team of horses and had on the
wagon load Of hay and while
driving down a steep hill the
team started running at the top
of their speed, overturning the
wagon which fell upon the young
man, breaking his leg above the
knee. His uncle, II. j. Slough,
was also hauling a load to the
city and cam, up to find his
nephew lying in the road, the
wagon and harness broken to
pieces and team tangled up in a
clump of brush about a half
mile down the road. The injured
boy was taken to the home of his
uncle in this city, where his
wound was dressed and is in a
fairly comfortable state today.

HER SON
is MISSING
Mrs. Magaret M. Walsh OF
St. Paul Asks Informal
ton Concerning Sons
Whereabouts.
SENDS LETTER TO CHIEF OF
POLICE BAILEY.
Young Man Disappeared From ST.
Paul Two Years Ago And
Is Still Missing.

A letter was recently received
by Chief of Police Bailey from
Mrs. Margaret M. Walsh of st.
Paul, asking information con-
corning the whereabouts of her
son, Joseph V. Walsh, who left
that city Aug. 10, 1901, for the
northern part of the state and
has not been heard from in the
last two years.
The letter expresses doubt as
to what has become of the young
man, and fear that he has met
with foul play. The last heard
of him was year ago last winter
when the old lady sent letter
to DR.. F. A. Blakeslee, county
health officer, asking if her son
had been quarantined in camp,
and upon looking up the records
Mr.. Blakeslee answered in the
affirmative, but since his release
from quarantine nothing had
been heard of him.
Mrs. Walsh has sent circulars
to the police of many cities in
the northern part of the state
which offer reward Of S2o for
information that would lead to
finding her son, but so far he has
not been located and the affair
still remains a mystery.

NORTH COUNTRY
L. L. Maryland, Candidate For
Legislature. Gives His Views
on Important Matters.

Dr. L. L. Maryland of Bagley,
was spending yesterday in town
furthering his candidacy for
representative from this district.
Dr.. Maryland holds pronounced
views in regard to many matters
which are Of vital interest to this
section of the state. RIO a Pioneer
man today he said:
"Ihe most important subject
Of legislation for northern Mime
sofa is drainage, and the next
most important is good roads.
The $4,000 year now given by
the state for state drainage is
mere beggarly bagatelle. The
state can we'll afford to spend
$1,0O0'00O for drainage in this
part Of the state. The state
lands would be benefited twice
that amount to say nothing of
the benefit to private lands. The
Stephens law for the loan Of
money to counties for drainage
at three per cent is a great thing
for Us and | believe that by hard
work we can secure a. reduction
of the rate in the legislature this
winter to two per cent. Good
roads go hand in hand with
drainage. If we can secure
liberal appropriations for drain
age good roads are sure to fol
low as natural conseq uence and
on these two things the develop
ment of our northern counties
largely depends.
Yes, [ am for the reelection of
Senator Clapp and will give him
my hearty support if elected"

DR.. Egan, Professor of Eng
lish Literature in Catholic
University at Wash
ington is Here.
DIR. EGAN IS AN AUTHOR OF
RECOGNIZED MERIT.
Talks Interestingly of The Work
OF The Great Uni
yersity.

DR.. Maurice Francis Egan, at
the head of the department. of
English literature and compare
tive philology in the great Catho-
lie University at Washington, D.
c., is a guest Of Mr.. and Mrs.
b. f. Crawford of this city, hav-
ing taken advantage of an attack
of the hay fever to visit this
country and renew his friend
ship with the Crawfords. DR..
Egan was for years in newspaper
work being associated with
Charles Dana and he is today a
freq uent contributor to the daily
press and to various magazines.
He is the auhtor Of several works
on literature, notably Studies in
Literature which has been pub
lished in both English and Ger
man, "Songs and Sonnets," and
the popular "Sexton Maginnis"
stories, the latest Of which, sThe
Reign of Sentiment" appeared in
the August Century.
DR.. Egan talked very entertain
ingly today to a Pioneer repre-
sentative in regard to the work
of the Catholic University at
Washington, an in titution which
is unique in the character and
scope of it's work. Among other
things he said:
"Contrary to the general &C
ceptation of the Catholic univer-
sity of Washington, it is only
a Catholic institution in SO far as
it is dominated by Catholic in
auence Only religion metaphysics
and philosophy, does the church
direct it's faculty. The widest
latitude is allowed it's instruc-
tors, always keeping in mind
that the results of their re
searches must not controvene
the teachings Of Christianity.
Carroll D. Wright, who is on our
staff Of instructors, once re-
marked that our university is
the only university in which he
felt at perfect liberty to express
himself on any topic as he hon
estly believed, without any trim
ming. Nor do we cater to Cath
lies only for students. Our uni
versitv is the only university in
the United States which is a
striclly post GRADUATED institution.
We have been so pressed of late
to introduce IN under graduate
course that this year we will try

''Time alone will tell whether
our judgement has been sound.
We have a large mum Der Of non

who has been called to fill the
chair of English literature in the

all that we demand is that the
man who. comes to US has the
necessary preparation; We accept
him as a student regardless of

history. of a seauoia Tree.

The life of man seems indeed but a
transient hour, hardly long enough "to
look about us and to die" when we
compare it with the existence of a
tree. In comparison to some of the
Sequoias, Methusalah died in infancy.
A United States senator has lately
made public certain information re-
ceived by him about the amount of
history stored away in the great trees
of California. One of moderate size,
Is feet ir diameter five feet from the

ences: In 271 B. c., it began it's ex-
istence. In 245 A. D., when it was SIG
years Of age, a forest fire burned on its
trunk a scar three feet in width. After
1886 years of placid life, in another
fire, in 1441 A. D., the tree, aged LIZ,
received another injury. Another scar
followed in 1880, and was not covered
with new tissue for 56 years. The
worst attack of all was i'm 1897, when
the tree, then 2,O6S years of age, was
attacked by a fire, which left a scar Is

CASE FOR SECRETARY HAY.
An American Citizen Carried Away
Captive BY the Wen-Nnown
Moorish Bandit Raisuli.

Tangier, Morocco, May 20.-An
American citizen named Perdicaris and
his %stepson, a British subject, have
been carried off by the well-known
bandit, Raisuli, and his followers, and
will doubtless be held for a heavy ran
som. The captives were staying al
Perdicaris' summer residence, only
three miles from Tangier, when the
bandits attacked and captured them.
Perdicaris is of Greek origin, but
is a n%aturaIized citizen of the United
States. He is very wealthy, and has
lived in Tangier for years. He mar
ried an English woman, whose son is
MS companion in activity.
Foreigners are much excited by this
bold raid, so near Tangier, and attrib-
ute it to the supineness Of the govern
ment in failing to punish the bandits
who, last year, captured Walter B.
Harris, the correspondent, in Morocco,
of the London Times, and their fail

RESERVES For GEN. KUROKI.
Report Says He Is Waiting the Land

lHs ol 4 NT"s
London, May 23.-The correspon-
dent of the Times, on board the paper
steamer Haimun, which is still eXclud-
ed from the real theater of war, gives
a review of the present position of
affairs, and says.
Reserves from Japan are being
brought to reinforce Gen. Kuroki's lines
Of communication, which are being
harrassed by Cossacks.
Gen. Kuroki appears to be waiting
for the landing and cooperation Of a
third army. 1t was while holding the
Mao Toa straits against torpedo at
lacks from Port Arthur for the pas
sage of transports with the third army
that the Satsue met with disaster.
Realizing that they were effectively
isolated, the Port Arthur Russians
made their desperation an excuse for
sowing the whole gulf OF Pc Chi Ii
with blockadae mines.
1t is reported that they sent launches
and iunks to drop mines in the paths
of the Japanese warships and trans
| ports. The mines drifted to the high
seas and to Chinese waters, constituting
the gravest danger to neutral shipping.
