FOR RABBIT
Minneapolis Man Inflicts
Fatal Wound on Lumber
Camp Employe.
lTASCA COUNTY ATTORNEY
WILL PROSECUTE.
Manslaughter Charge to Be
Placed Against Man Who
Made Mistake.

w. 3. ellison, a we'll known
young sportsman of Minneapolis
may have to face a serious charge
in the courts of Itasca county fol-
shooting Ole Evebo, whom be
mistook for rabbit in the brush
Evebo died Saturday at ST.
Mary's hospital, West Superior
The residents and authorities Of
ltasca county are stirred up over
the matter. The state law now
provides that a man shall be
charged with manslaughter if he
kills a human being through
carelessness in hunting.
ellison, who is employed in
the baggagerooms at the Mime.
apolis union passenger station,
was hunting about two weeks
ago with a party of friends near
Spring Lake, ltasca county. On
the last morning of their hunt
they went out to bring in their
deer and prepare for their re-
turn home. On the road they
shot rab bits for the sport of it,
and as the underbrush was
thick, they had to shoot quickly.
Suddenly the hunters thought
they spied a rabbit in the brush
and ellison raised his rifle and
shot with the usual alertness.
He was Mortified to hear a
scream of pain from the brush
and, rushing into the thicket, he
found Evebo unconscious and
the blood flowing from a wound
in his groin. He had been work
ing for Dempsey & Dougherty,
contractors, and his white skin
had been mistaken for the rab-
bit seen few minutes before.
The hunting party carried the
man to the camp and a physician
was summoned, who ordered
him sent to the Superior hos
pital. His thigh was shattered
and he was badly injured in
ternalIy. He fingered in an un-.
conscious state until Saturday.
Although the shooting was
purely accidental and witnessed
by Gilson's friends, George H.
Spear, the county attorney Of
Itasca county, will probably
prose cute according to the law,
Mr.. ellison is almost FRUSTRATED
by the affair, and he even re-
NAMED some time with Evebo at
the hospital. Before he died,
Evebo said he did not blame Gil
SOD, as he might have done the
same thing himself.

REPEAL TIMBER
AND STONE. ACT
Will Be Object Of One or
More Bills for
Congress.

Washington, Dec 4 AT least
two bills providing for impor-
tant changes in the land laws
will be introduced at the ap-
preaching session of congress.
One will provide for repeal of the
tim Der and stone act, and the
other will make it possible for
purely agricultural land in for
est reserves to be acquired by
settlers under the homestead
law. .
Representative Lacey, chair
man of the house committee on
bile lands will introduce both
of these measures in the house.
"Siuce the amend ent of the
desert land law in 1891" said
Mr.. Lacey, "a majority Of the
land frauds have been under
the forest lieu land law and the
timber and stone act At the
last session the forest lie law
was repealed, and [ think the
time has come for the repeal Of
the tim Der and stone act. Two
years ago I introduced a bill to
repeal this law and it did not get
out Of the committee, a majority
being against it. Since that time
the land fraud Investigations in
Oregon and other states have
thrown much light on the work
ings Of the tim Der and stone &C,
and the necessity for it's repeal
is much more apparent. =

THOUSANDS OF
MEN CUT,TIMBER
Fifty Camps to Be Operated
on Indian Reservations
This Winter.


William O'Nei], superintendent
of logging on the Chippewa In
dian reservations under the Nor
ris law, says there will be fifty
camps operating under this law
this winter. The camps will aver
age seventy men each, or a total
of $500.
"We have too much snow and
too little frost in the ground for
good logging conditions" said
Mr.. O'Neil. ''Under these cir
cumstances logging will be diff
fcult unless we have some soft
weather and followed by hard
freeze. The snow acts as
blanket for the unfrozen ground
and water under it.
"Men are now quite plentif, !
and the labor famine of a few
weeks ago is ended. The loggers
are all ready to go ahead strong,
and were the swamps frozen they
would haYe nothing to complain
of.
Il believe that there is from
] 3OO. OOO. 600 To 400. 600 600 feet of
pine y t to be sold and the secre-
tary Of the interior may if he
thinks best demand that this
pine be sawn on the reservations. !"
