Although she defended her religion.
Miss Seeley would not discuss other
subjects when seen today. At times,
with a view of defending her peculiar
faith. she burst forth with expressions
that could be credited to a much older
person.
Although she is only II years old.
she has the experienced look Of a
much older person. She said she could
tell much about her religion. but that
she did mot feel just right" She is
OF light complexion and more than
passing fair"
She seems kind In her disposition.
and willingly does what she is told by
the officers OF the home. This IL much
unlike the other Holy Roller who was
at the home and who was hardly man
ageable.
She would not say whether she knew
where Apostle creitleld IL, but she In
timated that some OF the sect knew.
She seems determined in her ways.
and does not want To give up her faith.
She said the name Of her religion was
Restoration OF All Things"
In the little Bible which she brought
with her are many passages marked
with red Ink The majority OF these
passages are confined TO the
irst few chapters of ST. Matthew.

TRAMP LOGGER KILLED.
Resists Capture and Falls Dead
Pierced by Bullet.

Resists Capture and Falls Dead
Pierced by Bullet.
Colfax, Wash, May S.-As the re-
suit of a thrilling man hunt through
the woods back of Auburn, Charles
Paulson, a tramp logger, from Merrill,
Wis, lies in local undertaking par
lor, his abdomen pierced by bullet
fired by a member of the pursuing
posse.
Auburn has for many years been in
tested with a lot of desperate tramps.
Yesterday morning four of them went
on a spree; about o'clock they passed
the farm of ]. F. O'Neill and began to
strip the boards from the fences
O'Neill interfered and the tramps
were defiant and drew a gun on the
farmer. Doing so, Mrs. O'Neill rushed
upon them, and threw herself between
her husband and the tramps, exclaim-
ing: IF you shoot my husband, you
have got to shoot me first"
Cries for help were heard and when
an officer appeared the tramps took
to the woods. A posse divided and
searched the woods. Paulson was dis
covered in an old hiding place Of the
famous bandit Tracy, and while try
ing to make his escape, was shot in
the back by an officer. He died in
three minutes. The other two men
were captured.

WHAT HOLY ROLLERS
INTEND TO ACCOMPLISH
Young Victim of Mania Thinks People
Should Live Now as They Did In
the Time of Adam.

Portland. May SAN things win b,
restored. The world win be again like
It was before man fell. This can be
brought about only by the way we live
here"
Such was the explanation OF the
Holy Roller religion by Uranla Flor
ence Seeley. who Is now In the safe
keeping Of the Boys and Girls Aid
Society, where she was brought from
the Holy Roller camp by Sheriff Hus-
ton. Since Frank Hurts family has
been sent to the asylum. and, this tn
nocent l7-year-old girl has been
brought to Portland. the Roller camp
is thing OF the past. as the last mem
Der Is now gone. Miss Seeiey said
there were II members. all but three
being women.
Probably more light on this peculiar
religion than has hitherto been known
to the public was brought out when
she answered the query:
why do you believe you should
not wear shoes. hats and other gar
ments?"
Adam and Eve were put into the
world without clothing" was the girls
answer. 1t showed that she was still
determined to defend the religion she
had been wildly following for the past
few months.
THAT Is the way we should live.
When Adam fell the world was cursed,
and now there is death. There would
have been no death IL Adam had not
sinned. All things will be restored,
and we can bring the world back to !

Ended.

h. S. Mcdonald, who is gen
eral manager for the Backus-
Brooks people is here from Iu-
ternational Falls to visit with his

ward by leaps and bounds. The
difficulties with the Canadian
government have been practically
all cleared up and work on the
dam will go forwarded at once.
The work itself will furnish en-

Evidences That the Great
Northern is Trying to De-
feat Red Lake K. X.
OTHER POWERFUL INTERESTS
ALSO ARRAYED AGAINST 1T.
Determined Effort Being Made
to Prevent Extension Of Road
TO Bemidji.

The Great Northern has two
engineers at work north from
Wilton surveying a route for a
railroad. The engineers are both
Grand Forks men and are 0. l..
Holman and F. Darlington.
They have made Bemidji their
headquarters for several days
and have made no particular at
tempts to conceal their business
in this vicinity. The surveying
Of the road north from Wilton is
believed to be q part Of the game
Of bluff which the Great North
ern is playing in attempting to
prevent the extension of the Red
Lake railway to this city.
But the Great Northern is not
alone in it's attempt to prevent
the building of the proposed road
to this city. Other powerful in
terests are said to be arrayed
against the construction of the
road as planded. Information to
this effect has been received
from a source which seems en-
tirely relia bic.
Developments in the matter
will be watched with a great deal
Of interest by the people of this
city.

The Pioneer in connection with
the merchants of the city will
inaugrate next week Thursday a
Dollar Bargain Day, similar to
the plan so successfully followed
IN other cities. The idea consists
in the merchants Of the city un
iting in Offering big values for 81
on a certain day thus naming a
day when the farmers of the sur
rounding country and the people
of the neighbOring towns can
come to B2midji and secure
extraordinary values in all lines
of commodities.
The Pioneer has approached
the business men Of the city in
regard to the matter and the
proposition meets with general
approval. The success Of the
idea has been pronounced in
whatever tried. Such a Dollar
Bargain Day was scheduled for
Tuesday this week at Crookston.

Livery Barn of Thomas
Newly Burned at Early
Hour This Morning.
LANTERN EXPLODED, CAUSING
BAD BLAZE.
Horses All Rescued Cutters And
Sleighs Licked Up in The
Flames.

At six o'clock this morning the
livery barn of Thomas Newly at
514 Second street caught fire and
burned to the ground.
The fire caught from a lantern
which Mr.. Newly had hung in the
barn a few minutes before, the
lantern having evidently explod
ed. Mr.. Newly came into the
barn from an adjoining barn
just in time to see the flames
leaping into the hay from the
blazing lantern. Vigorous efforts
were made to reach Central in
order to turp in the alarm, but
before this could be done all the
horses and buggies on the first
floor were removed. When the
department reached the scene, in
a few minutes after the sounding
Of the alarm, the building was a
mass of flames, and the building
rapidly burned to the ground.
Adjoining houses were scorched
but promp5 attention from the
bucket brigade saved them.
In addition to the building Mr..
Newly loses a large quantity of
hay, one cutter, three sleighs
and two buggies all of which
we're stored in the second story
of the building.
There was an insurance of
$500 on the building, horses
and other stock. The insurance
was secured through T. J. Miller
who declares that it will be
promptly adjusted.

A TRAINS MARROW ESCAPE
BOUNCING ACROSS THE TIES
 FROM SOUTH NORWALK
Signal Tower to the East side station wrecksr on. tho scene-Train Jast Escaped Plunge Iuso the River.

Norwalk, March 17.-"Bang! Crash!
 Bang, bang, bang!" went a freight
 train at 4.2O o'clock this morning, all
 the way from the South Norwalk sig
 nal tower, near the Washington street
 bridge, to the East Norwalk station.
 The trucks of a loaded freight car were
 bouncing over the ties, and the noise
 awoke nearly all the residents Of the
 East side.
 It was one of the strangest perform
 ances imaginable. and at the same
 time was signally fortunate, even to
 the extent of saving several lives and
 many thousand dollars worth of prop
 erty, that the car did not leave the ties while bouncing across the railroad draw, for then it would, perhaps, have drawn the entire train and the caboose with it's crew down thirty or forty feet to the bed of the Norwalk river. The New Haven wrecker in charge of Conductor John Mason was called, and under the circumstances it was a com paratively easy job to place a new set of trucks under the car. The track was all cleared and the car had gone on with it's train by S:30 o'clock. The accident happened to extra freight No. 5S7, in charge of Conductor H. T. Bowman and Engineer Smith. It was caused by a broken ffange on one of the right hand wheels of the rear truck of ear No. S4,6s4 This was a box car loaded with coal. When the train stopped only about six inches of the flange was left on the wheel, and : the first pieces of the flange that were picked up showed that there was flaw in it
