A GrueSOma Find

A homesteader living on the Lit
tie Fork in northern Itasca county.
while going through the woods
came upon some human bones. and
pair of shoes containing the feet of
colored man. A visit to the cabin
OF trapper near where the find
was made disclosed the fact that
the place had not been occupied for
some time and the remains are be-
lieved to be those of Gene Kane,
who has lived the life of recluse in
that wild country for the past two
years, making living by trapping.
Kane was colored and it is generally
believed that he was a fugitive from
justice. tits likely that he was at
tackled by wolves and that his BODY

Sl.OO PER YEAR.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1904.

The Minnesota State HOrticul-
tural society held it's annual meet
ing in Minneapolis two weeks ago.
This society is doing a grand
work for the people of the state by
gathering and disseminating infor-
nation pertaining to forestry, fruit
growing and Horticulture adapted to
our climate 1t is mainly through
the earnest efforts of the thoughtful
and progressive men OF this associ-
alton that apple raising, for in
stance. has been made a success in
Minnesota. How much that alone
will contribute to the excheuuers of
the people. There is a great va
riety OF fruit trees, berries and
shrubbery that may be grown in
this state under proper methods of
cultivation. We must know the
nature and habits of the different
plants and how to properly care for
them IN order to be successful in
growing them. If one farmer can
raise an abundanceof apples, plums,
cherries, Strawberries. raspberries,
currants, gooseberries, etc., all
other farmers Can do so, if they will.
1t one house owner by the planting
of shrubbery, vines and flowers can
transform his grounds into "a thing
OF beauty and JOY forever" others
may do so. 1t is only necessary to
know how, coupled with little ex-
ertion. More attention should be
given to the subject of horticulture.
It would make our homes more at
tractive and add materially to the
pleasure of living.
