Crookston Plums Not Ripe.
Representative Stevenson said to-
day that he would not take up the
question of filing the offices of regis
ter ana receiver Of the land office at
Crookston until after congress adjourns.
The commission Of Sylvester Peterson,
register, does not expire until March
%, and Receiver Georges term runs
until some time in April. Both are
candidates for reappointment and other
candidates have appeared, whose names
Mr.. STEVENSON declines, to make pub
lie. Neither will he discuss the alleged
opposition of Peterson to his nominal
ton; for congress in 1902, simply say
ing he would settle the matter when he
gets home in March.
Nobody here is bothering about ap-
pointments at other land offices in Min

Could Not Survive Torture Of His I'm
prisonment and Water.
Special to Times Republican.
Burlington, June 7.-Daniel Hayes
the Quincy diver, who was res
cuel by D. NJ Ferris, of Burlington
from a perilous position in Lima
Lake intake pipe on the Mississippi
river near Canton, after he had been
held under water for twenty four
hours died as a result of the great
mental strain ana physical exhaustion
occasioned by his terrible experience
When Hayes was released from his
awful predicament by Diver Ferris OF
Burlington, and brought to surface
at o'clock he was barely conscious,
his hands were white and bloodless
and his body was black and blue from
the pressure of the pipe cap which held
him firmly. He was laid upon the
deck of the ferry boat which had beer
used to pull the cap from the pipe and
a physician resuscitated him. Later
he. was able to talk and told of his
awful sufferings while imprisoned be-
meath the water, awaiting death at any
minute. It Is a wonder that the man
lived to be saved, or came from the
rivers depth in sane condition.
1t was thought that he would re-
cover, the doctor stating that in about
three weeks he would be able to be
around, but his fate was otherwise.
His experience is a new and pit1ful
one In this vicinity. Divers often lose
their lives, but seldom in the inland
rivers. His case is one of the few, if
not the only one, which ever occurred
on The Mississippi.
