Narrow Escape From Death.

Cass Lake, July 15.-During a
severe electric storm here on
Wednesday forenoon, Miss
Myrtle Tibbetts, the daughter
of Mr.. ann Mrs. Frank Tibbetts,
received a shock from a telephone
wire that came near ending her
existence. Miss Tibbetts had
occasion toreach toward the tele-
phone with the intention of as
pertaining if the phone was in
good working order. Just as
she touched the receiver, there
was an exceptionally strong flash
of lightning, followed by loud
defamation. Miss Tibbetts fell to
the floor, her mother was also
badly shocked, and all the occu-
pants of the room was more or
less stunned. A physician ex-
amined the injured girl and
found that her right arm was
partially paralysed. After work
ing over her for a half hour, cir
culation was restored in the
stunned muscles, and she has
since improved rapidly, and it is
thought that after the lapse of a
few weeks she will be nearly as
we'll as ever. Her escape from
instant death was nothing short
of miraculous.

WON THE STRIKE
Laboring Men Employed In Clear.

ching 60 Out.

To thirty men hired to clear
a part of the townsite at Interna-
tional Falls belongs the distinc-
ton of having inaugurated and
carried to a successful -conclu-
sion the first strike in the village
koochiching. some day surely
destined to be the banner city of
this section of the country.
Town lots have not been on the
market at Koochiching for some
time owing to litigation affecting
the title of the lands in the town
site. This has been disposed of
and the townsite company de-
cided to start in clearing up the
lands. Accordingly thirty men
were hired at Fort Frances to be-
gin the work. On their way over
they were accosted by a saloon
keeper who Bought a round of
drinks and told them 50 per day
was not enough money. He said
the precedent was bad and ad-
vised them to strike for $3.50 per
day. The men carried his sug-
gestion into effect and won the
strike. Labor is scarce in that
section and the contractor who
had the work was glad to pay
$3.50 per day and settle the
trouble.

BACKUS MONSTER

Perturbed by a Sea Ser
pent or Something.

sa 4 ( IS : &
II. L. Tonskemper, the popular
Duluth travelling salesman, was
in the city last-night with a story
from Backus for which he
vouches that is something out of
the ordinary in the line of stories.
ltconcerns a monster, a son of a
serpent Or something and it has
the good people down that way
in a state Of mind that nearly
borders on discom obulation at
present.
Mr.. Tonskemper is a careful
man and does not claim to have
seen the serpent. but he is very
emphatic ia the statement that
there is something in it. Just
what it's he is not prepared to
state and it's the same way with
the people at Backus. Any
way It's something. It is about
the size Of a horse and seems
