Extension of Line Looked For.

While no official announcement
has as yet been made it is definitely
understood that the purchase of the
Ruggles interests in the Duluth
Virginia & Rainy Lake railway and
the Virginia Lumber Co. by w. H
Cook and associates is unquestion.
a BILE, and the extension OF the road
to the Canadian border, as desired
by Mr.. Cook, will in all likelihood
be accomplished this year.
This extension would mean much,
not only to Virginia but to the
business world, as it will, by con-
nection with Duluth, make much
shorter haul of all material for the
Canadian northwest. The new line,
when complete, will also be much
more than "logging road," as it
will furnish an outlet for the Mani
toba wheat district products, con-
Meeting at this point for the head
of the lakes or with the Great
Northern system for the Twin
Cities.

THREE STRIKERS KILLED At nlBBlNG,
Attack Night Shippers at the Rust,
Return Fire Beinq Deadly.

A strike for increased wages was
inaugurated at the Hull and Rust,
of the Oliver company'ss group of
nr'a1iines Iii sin the Hibbing district, 81
Tuesday, the trouble later spread
ing to other mines in the district.
The trouble reached climax on
Tuesday evening when a mob arm
ed with rifles fired on the night
crew on the Porter Bros. stripping
contract at the Rust, two men being
killed and several wounded in the
return fire, one of the wounded men
dying later.
The day crew at the stripping had
been driven from their work by the
strikers, and the night crew had
been armed for their own protcc.
tion. Shortly after the night shift
went on at 700 o'clock large body
of strikers appeared at the mouth
OF the cut and opened fire at the
workmen with rifles, the return fire
being of such deadly effect as to
drive the intrnders back. A crowd
of the strikers again appeared later
in the evening and fired upon the
wOrkmen from the bank of the cut.
being repu]sed without further loss
of life.
Sheriff Bates was at once inform
ed of the trouble, and accompanied
bya number of deputies and specials
arrived at Hibbing at 800 o'clock
Wednesday morning, and the men
employed on the stripping contract
continue work under guard.
The common laborers were the
first men to go out, demanding an
increase of 25 cents per day. The
men we're receiving $1.75 per day.

Treated to a Warm Receotion.

Several cases of sneak-thievery
and night prowling have been re.
ported in the city of late, but in
only one instance has the prowler
been caught in the act and meted
his just desserts-at the home of F,
L. Johnson, at an early hour Sun
day morning.
Mr.: johnson is the owner of a
small watchdog, and at about 1:3O
was awakened by the dog paving
his face. Knowing the nature of
the dog and suspecting the cause,
Mr.. Johnson arose and went to the
back window, where he saw a man
climbing the back stairway, deli.
berately and without making any
noise. Mr.. johnson soon decided
upon giving his visitor reception
to be remembered and quietly un-
locked the rear door, stepping back
to await the intruder, who shortly
opened the door, leaving same aiar
that he might make his escape
quickly if necessity demanded.
But he was not prepared for the
suddenness of the onslaught &C:
corded, and went down and out, but
not until Mr.. Johnson had admins.
tered severe punishment. pound
ing him up in bad shape.
