Minneapolis, Minn.-Torkell Swan
son, pioneer farmer Of st. Louis coun-
ty, who 20 years ago invaded the will
derness north of Duluth and settled
in the "Narrows' between Vermilion
and Trout lakes, north of Tower,
Mimi, has brought to Minneapolis
story which, if not as picturesque as
Jack Londons Call of the Wild Of
fers at least to students of natures
phenomena as good an example for
consideration and study.
1t is no fascinating romance which
Mr.. Swanson tells, but the LONELINESS
Of his narrative gives It the earmarks
of truth, which, in this case, is strang-
er than fiction. The st. Louis county
pioneer had not been in Minneapolis
for 80 years till week before last,
when he came here to attend the
meeting of the Minnesota Farmers
Exchange, Of which he is member.
To group of interested farmers gath
cred in the lobby of the hotel one
evening he told an unvarnished tale
of a new breed of cattle which he
claims developed in 20 years among
the progeny Of his brindled COW, De-
liah, which he took with his family
and household goods from Duluth to
the "Narrows" in 1887.
1t is a story of development for the
survival of the fittest' touching the
natural selection of species" in terms
used by scientists and not Mr. Swan
son The latter told his story of ear
ly pioneer struggles, the losses inflict-
cd by wolves and bears, which made
depredatory raids on his log cabin

Mr. Swanson declared he had lost 100

liah gave birth to her wonderful calf

within 90 feet of it, and after | had led
the mother home the calf would not
come within hailing distance of the
barn. 1t was not till ten days after
its birth that | could pet the calf, and
all the time it was growing into a
more graceful and active animal. De-
liah was always frisky. but never like
that heifer calf of hers.

the calf was getting a distemper or
some kind. but | was mistaken. She
shed her hair and | noticed she was
turning colors Well, sir, in three
weeks. about the time the snow vas
falling that calf had fur snow white,
and the next spring she shed her fur
again and it turned dark brown, just
the color she had when she was born.
All of her calves and the whole breed
I've raised from her have shed their
fur twice a year with the seasons, and
turned brown in summer and white in
winter. They've got touch OF the
wild in them, | take it, and in winter,
when fodder has run low, they so out

Mr.. Swanson said that he had sold
some of his new stock to other farm
ers who of late years had settled in
his neighborhood, and. he intends TO
place his new species on exhibition at
future stock shows in this state.

made to account for it. The Idaho
laws provide that man cannot be con-
victed OF crime on the uncorro6or-
ated confession of an accomplish. 1t Is
stated that the prosecution has delayed
roboratiou Of Harry Orchards confes-
sion. The district attorney yields no
Information on this point But since
the prosecution is now taking up the
case, it is presumed that it has stronger
evidence against Meyer, Haywood and
Pettiboue than the confessions OF
Harry Orchard and Stephen Adams
The fact that Adams has retracted his
confession practically destroys 1t as
evidence, and Orchard is understood
to be in so weakened a state of mind
that he will not be able TO take the
stand. and the prosecution will be
forced TO seek to have his sworn testi-

SEES GHOST IN THE WOODS.
Beautiful Woman ROBBED in White Fol.
lows and Beckons to Him.

Coleraine, Minn.-Polsh settlers in
the country east of here are in a state
of excitement over the alleged disCov-
cry of a weir wolf" which takes the
shape Of a beautiful woman CARRIED in
a long white robe and whom the super
stitious believe is seeking mems souls.
Milan Preyorsko, a honest eader,
says that While he was walking to his
claim through the woods recently a
woman dressed in a long white robe
appeared She followed him about
ten PAGES in the rear and constantly
beckoned to him. When he stopped
the woman also stood motiouless and
when. terrorsiricheu, he took TO his
heels the wehr wolf kept close behind
him. AT last in desperation he
stopped and hurled a huge stone at
the mysterious form which instantly
vanished
He describes the woman as about
the ordinary height, with long, raven
black hair, which hung down over her
shoulders reaching below the waist
line. The face, which was intensely
pale, nevertheless was beautiful. and
eyes that seemed like liquid fire.
Some of the settlers who listened to
Prevorskos tale We're inclined to dis
believe it, but he has found many 9th
ers who have implicit faith in his tale.
Those who have doubted the story
have ;raversed the path at all hours
of the night without eucountering the
weird spectacle
