Shows Wonderful Growth.

A trip to the country surround.
ing Camp 6, on the line of the Du.
luth, Virginia & Rainy Lake road
on Sunday, revealed a surprising
growth of that rich section. Where
but five years ago there were posi-.
lively but two homesteaders in
township 61-18, only one of whom
had family on the land, there are
now upwards of a score of we'll.
housed settlers who are rapidly
clearing and placing the rich soil
of the section under cultivation.
Most of these settlers are Finns, a
class whose natural tendency is 10.
ward agricultural pursuits, and
under whose guiding hand the sec.
ton is destined to become of great.
ly increased value. "
Many of those at present living
there are numbered among former
Virginians, while other lands in
the section are owned or held un.
der homestead rights by residents
of this city.

FOUGHT g, 10 THE DEATH.
Jsa caaty and Gus lahti Both Dead
g Result of Fight Near Tabor.

|
As the result OF desperate fight
ln1 1the woods at d point some three
mites north of Tabor, on the Du-
iuth, Virginia 4 Rainy Lake road,
the{dead body of Gus Lahti was
picked mp on Saturday last, being
found at point three-quarters of a
mile from his homestead shanty.
Beside Lahti, who was found lying
backward at over a log with an empty
shotgun between his knees with
which the death wound had been
inflicted, was found his hunting
knife, covered with blood and show
ing that it had been wiped on the
grass before being replaced in the
scabbard.
Deputy Coroner Grove and Un-
dertaker Fleming visited the scene
anes brought the body of the de-
ceaeed to this city, where he was
found to be badly cut up, one
wound penetrating the liver and
mary gashes being found on the
hands, as though received in an
effort to defend himself. From in
dications the coroner concluded
thai foul. play had been the cause of
death, and on Tuesday he sent
othser Mattson and another man up
theaine to subpoena several settlers
in tie neighborhood in the hope of
finding some clue.
Later in the day Mattson tele.
phosped that another body had
been found near where Lahti was
discovered, investigation proving
it td be the remains of Jim Canty,
cruiser IN the employ of James
Walsh. The body was found about
nine hundred feet east OF where
LaAi's remains were discovered,
and.the indications would indicate
that la fierce battle had been fought
in which Lahti and Canty were the
principals, the grass having been
tranpled down for a distance of
fifteen or twenty feet square, with
sprinklings of blood covering the
ground. Canty's body showed
knife wounds in the breast and
sids and on the neck, besides a gun
shdvossSasl iat nee
Beside the body Of Canty was
found his cruisers knapsack, to
which was strapped a small axe,
and plat of township 61-1s, the
property of the cruiser.
Every<indication would point to
the case being one of murder and
suicide, it being evident that some
alteration had arisen between the
men and that Lahti had been the
aggressor, attacking and killing
his adversary but not before Canty
had wrested the knife from Lahti
and inflicted the wound in the side
of the later. After killing his ad.
versary it would appear Lahti had
started to walk back to his home.
stead shanty but becoming weak
from loss of blood had sat down on
small log and while considering
the matter and realizing that he
would at once have to seek medical
aid and fearing that in his explana
tions or in the finding of Canty's
body later the crime would be
fastened upon him, he concluded
to end it all which he did with the
aid of his shotgun.
Canty was weli-known cruiser,
having worked through this section
for years, while Lahti was also an
old resident of the range. The
cause Of their trouble will never be.
known, but from the scene of the
struggle it is evident that the as
sa1lt was with murderous intent.
