Nine Glandered Animals
Killed by Order ofDeputy
Veterinarian.
CAMPS NEAR FUNKLEY ARE
AFFECTED.
Investigation of Condition q
Horses in Other Camps May
Be Made.

Nine horses afflicted with
CHAMBERS were dispatched yes
terday by order of Deputy State
Veterinarian DR.. Mcdonald of
ST. Paul at the lumber camps in
the vicinity of F'unkley. Two of
the cases were reported to the
state health authorities by DR..
Warninger of this city and an
investigation of the affair was
ordered. The result of DR.. Nc
Donald S visit to the.camps is that
the two horses reported as hav-
ing the disease were shot, to-
gether with seven others which
had been exposed to the disease.
Several of the glandered horses
were found at the camps of
Archie Mcclellan, near Funkley,
and it is also reported that Al
phonse Crawford of this city,
who is operating a mum Der of
camps in that vicinity, also lost
some of his horses.
This is the first occurrence of
the kind that ever took place in
Beltrami county, as much care
has been exercised by the lum-
bermen operating camps to Sc
cure good, healthy horses. It is
probable that the disease was
brought to the camps by animals
shipped from western Mime.
sofa or North Dakota.
An Investigation of the condi-
ton of horses in other camps
will likely be ordered as a result
of the affair.

Surveyors Running Line

If Report Proves True, Bemidji

Bagley, Jan. "A Farmers re-
siding in the town of Leon, Clear
water county, report that rail
road surveyors are running a
preliminary line tetWeen Sec
tons II and ID, in that township,
which is'num bered 1897.
This is the first line that has
been run south of Clear water
lake (149-36) and taken from
Thief River Falls, would indicate
that Bemidji is the point they
are making for.
The territory through which
this line would pass is the richest
innorthern Minnesota. Although
the lands along the proposed
new line are from 20 to As miles
from a railroad, farms from 40 to
12O acres under cultivation are
opened up and two creameries
are now being erected by the
farmers in the towns of Winsor

The above is in line with an ar

confirm the opinion expressed in

ings brought by the state of Missouri

Commissioner Sanborn, before whom
the witnesses testified, to send a certi-
fed copy of the testimony to the SUI
preme court of Missouri, where it will

Practically the last o Mr.. Hadley
made in the case was to introduce tes-
timony showing the difficulties under
which most of the witnesses who are in
any way connected with the Standard
Oil Co. were served. He put in the
record the fact that every effort had
been made to secure the testimony OF
John d. Rockefeller, but lone had sue
ceeded. He introduced copies of letters

and citizens were injured, Monday, in a
fire accompanied by a series of explo-

streets. in the Greenwich village dis
trict on the lower west side of the city.
That the damage, which is estimated at
from 5000, 900 to $500, 900, was not far
greater, was declared by Chief Croker
to be due to the explosions which shat
tered the building and crushed the
blaze beneath IONS of debris at the mo-
ment when the flames were completely
beyond control and threatening to
sweep the entire block. One fireman
was taken out of the building alive, but
died almost Immediately. The bodies
of his three comrades were recovered.

TWENTY DAYS Underground
THIRTEEN CoURRERES MINE
VICTIMS RESCUED.
Were Taken Gu Alive After Having
Been Entom bed Twenty Days
All Well hut One.

Lens, France.-Thirteen OF the
miners who were entombed in the
| Courrieres mine at the time OF the
great fire disaster there March ~,
were taken alive from the mine early
| Friday by q searching party, which was
engaged in exploring the mine.
The men had lived 20 days shut on
! from the light and almost deprived OF
air. With one exception they were all
we'll when reached by the rescuers, al
though they could not have lived much
longer. The rescued miners were taken
from shaft No. 2. AS the searching
party was engaged in this shaft noises
were heard. The explorers called out,
and there were answers to their shouts.
They began digging hurriedly in the
direction from which the answers
came, and finally dug out the miners.
They were quickly taken back to the
foot of the shaft and lifted to the
ground above.
When they were shut off from escape
by the explosion and fire which fol-
lowed, the miners took refuge in a sta
BILE used for the mules employed In the
mine. They had subsisted for days on
the lunches of their dead comrades
which had been taken down the Gay of
the disaster. With this food exhausted,
they resorted to eating wheat and oats
which were kept in the stable for the
mules. Water was also found, and the
miners managed to sustain life.
There was little nourishment, how
ever, in this food, and it would only
have been a question of hours when
the men must have succumbed. One
man was already in a serious condi-
ton, but the others were we'll.
One of the rescued miners was a boy
of IA, who had endured the hardships
to which all had been subjected with
all the courage manifested by his SEN
Tors.

is MOST THROUGH ANYHOW
Missouri Supreme Court AnnuIs Re-
~ceivership OF the Peoples Unit
cd States Bank.

St. Louisville Missouri supreme
court in Jefferson City reversed Friday
the action of the st. Louis county cir
cult court in appointing Fred Essen re-
ceiver for the 81, 800, 900 Peoples Unit
ed States bank, of which E. G. Lewis is
president.
An opinion defining the scope Of the
decision will not be handed down for
several weeks. The decision means,
lawyers say, the end Of Essen's receiv-
ership, and replaces the affairs Of the
bank in the hands of the directors. 1t
is said, however, that the directors
can not continue the operation OF a
bank without obtaining a new charter
and starting anew.
Receiver Essen, when told by q re-
porter that the supreme court mad set
aside the r~eceivership, said:
Good. I'm glad Of it. I'm about
through with the bank, anyhow. What
do l mean? Merely that every debt has
been paid, the dspositors have got ev-
cry dollar due them and there's only
between $50, 1000 and $4,000 stock out
standing.
We've made two payments On the
stock, the first so cents on the dollar,
the second 35 cents. We are paying
out IS cents on the dollar.
