causes.

back to the Brinkman hotel fire

when he worked all day in cold

tracted severe cold, besides
freezing his feet severely. He
was never well from that time,

a month was forced to quit once
more, and a second time sought

MAN LOST DURING STORM
WAS KNOWN IN. BEMIDJI
J. 5. Lincoln, Believed to Have
Perished in Grand Marias Woods,
: Here Recently.

The J. S. Lincoln, one of the
men lost in the woods seven miles
west of Grand Marias, and pre-.
sumedly forzen to death, a full
account Of which is given today
in the Duluth papers, is sup.
posed to be the same Lincoln
who was in Bemidji this last fall
selling a machine for perforating
and protecting checks. He was
successful in placing several
orders in the city, among other
customers being the county
treasurer's Office, and the First
National Bank. "
The account in the Duluth
Herald tells how Lincoln, to-
gether with E. 3. Caldwell and
two other men, went on a. hunt
ing expedition near Grand
Marais. On the day proceeding
the late big storm, two of the
party went to Grand Marais to
get provisions, leaving Lincoln
and Cald we'll alone in camp. The
storm was terrific in that
vicinity, between three and four
feet Of snow falling, and when
the two men returned to camp
with the aid of snow shoes, they
found Lincoln and Caldw gone.
They had evidently wandered
away from camp before the
storm and after the snow fell
lost their sense of direction and
been unable to find their way
back. l. ~5s.
Searching parties so far have
been unable to find any trace of
the missing men.

STEVENSON LEAVES FOR
The NATIONAL CAPITAL
Remarkable Farewell Meeting Was
Held at Crookston Last Mon
day Night. ~..%

Crookston, Nov. %: At tie
city. hall last evening, the citizens
of Crookston gathered to say
goodbye to Congressman Steen-
erson, who with Mrs. Steener-
son, left last evening for Wash
ington. J. E. O'Brien presided
at the meeting.
The hall was filed with promi.
nent citizens and Mr.. Steenerson
gave one of his brilliant speeches.
He stated in the beginning that
he appreciated the compliment
that the citizens showed him by
the meeting, and that it was one
of the nappiest moments of his
life to be endorsed by the friends
and acquaintances whom he had
known here for so many years.
In taking up the subjects of
the day he expressed himself as
heartily in favor of the drainage
movement, and of tariff revision
and that he believed the tariff
would be revised during the Goth
congress.
Taking up the subject of party
bosses, Mr.. Steenerson stated
that he was not owned nor con-
trolled BY any one, and that his
own conscience and the best in
terests of the people in his own
district prompted his work. He
wished that anyone having any
business of any character before
the departments in Washington,
would let him know, as no mat
ter what the applicants politics
we're, he would be glad to give
his immediate attention to the
matter at hand.

the pencil, but without result,
and it is doubtful if the child
will pull through. He has q
fighting chance, however, says
the physician in charge of the
case.
Just what action will be taken
IN the case has not been decided
upon. An operation from the
rear, the only hope from the
knife which new remains, is said
to be an extremely dangerous
one, with the chanches about one
in ten for recovery. On the
other hand about nine per cent
of the cases of a similar nature
expell the substance from the
lungs, so that it is about a toss
up whether to operate or leave
the child's fate in the hands of
nature.
Reports from the hospital to-
day are that the boy is slightly
improved. He is suffering no
great pain, except that he has
choking spells and smothering
sensations. The pencil seems to
have stopped the bronchial tube
so that while the air can be
drawn in with freedom, it is ex-
PEELED with difficulty.
