In 1853 he and his two brothers in
little sailing sloop went to the headwaters
of Lake Superior and established there
the townsite of the present cities of Du-
luth and Superior. The following
spring built the first buildings ever
erected in Duluth and succeeded in get
ting the old st. Paul & Duluth road to
build terminal there. Mr.. NettIeton
ran trading store at Duluth for a num-
Der of years and had many thrilling ex-
perlences with the Indians ifasi
For twenty years Nettleton made his
home In that section. 1t is stated he
gave to all railroads land where they
now have their terminals and was largely
instrumental in the upbuilding of both
these cities.

ran a dairy farm for many years. He
owned an enormous amount of property

Alter just one weeks journey DR..
Henry q. Hutchinson, president of the
minnesota state board of health, ar
rived IN the city from Havana, Cuba,
where he has been attending as dele
gate the thirty-second annual meeting
OF the American Public Health associa-
ton. DR.. Hutchinson was elected a
member of the advisory committee of
the association, and was, with the other
members, royalty dined and wined by
the elite of Havana during his stay.
We did a great deal of valuable
work, and enjoyed kingly hospitality"
said Dr.. Hutchinson MANY matters
OF the most vital interest were ex-
haustively discussed by able men, At
tendance at the convention meant a
liberal medical education
Papers were read and addresses
made by physicians and sanitary engi-
neers on municipal sanitation, purified
water supply, yellow fever contagion
and isolation; and a paper was also
read on diphtheria in Minnesota by DIR.
4. r. Wessbrook, professor of bacteri-
ology at the state university.
An interesting fact was shown at
the meeting, namely. that since the
American occupation in 1898 no single
case of yellow fever had developed in
Havana. The demonstration of the
non contagious nature OF this dread
disease from contact was fully gone
into, and the discovery of Dr. Carlos J..
Ffnlay, of Havana, which was after
wards assured by the research of the
late DR.. Walter Reed, of the United
States army, that a tiny member of the
mosquito family was the instrument of
contagion was thoroughly explained.
Havana is beautiful city. The
streets are clean and attractive: the
water supply, which is brought from a
great spring lying some nine miles
without the city, is unsurpassed; but
IN matters of sewage there is much to
be done.
"Of Cuban hospitality, can say but
this, that If we had accepted the full
programme that was laid out for our
entertainment, little, If any work, would
have been accomplished"

woman, had been overwhelmed by her

record in Canada, but after coming to

Twelve years in the state prison was
the sentence imposed yesterday by

Charles M. Banks, who had pleaded
guilty to the charge of robbery in the
first degree. He had also been indict-
ed for assault. This sentence will re-

trict.

declaration of his attorney, Fred Nc
Ghee, that Banks was victim Of
drugs.
Assistant County Attorney O'Neill
told the court that Abbie J. Gibbs, the
complaining witness, had left a Como
line car at ST. Anthony Park, and was
walking home when She heard noise
behind her. She turned about to see
Banks point revolver at her head.
He took her watch from her, struck
her twice in the face, and fired one
shot at her.
There had been criminal assaults upon
women near ST. Anthony Park before
Miss Gibbs was robbed, and the state
was convinced that at least one of the
previous crimes could be attributed to
Banks.
The prisoner, called up for sentence,
said that he was born in Iowa, and
that he was a laundryman and iron
molder. He had never been convicted
before.
When Judge Kelly announced the
sentence he dwelt upon the nature of
the prisoners offense. aggravated by
ms use of firearms. Yet the fact that
ne might have committed crimes to
which he had not pleaded guilty, and
OF which he had not been convicted,
could not, of course, be considered
against him.

degree the maximum penalty is TWEEN
