The commission recently ap.
pointed to examine and ascertain
the damages resulting from the flow
age of lands by the reservoir
system of the upper Mississippi
river held a meeting in this city
yesterday and considered several
cases where damages were claimed
as a result of the reservoirs. No one
appeared before the commission
here, although there were nine tracts
of land in Hubbard and Beltrami
counties that are affected by the
fowage and for which damages have
been claimed by the owners. The
commission considered these cases
and the final findings will be made
by the U. S. court according to the
Recommendations made by the COM
mission.
Two commissions were originally
appointed to view the lands that are
damaged by the reservoir system of
the upper Mississippi (Which in
cludes the reservoirs at Leech Lake,
Winnibigoshish, Pokegama and Pine
River) and ascertain the damages
by personal inspection of the land,
after which a joint meeting of the
members of the commission and the
owners of the land was to be held,
the owners to be given an oppor-
tunity to express their opinion as to
the amount in which they should
receive damages. The duty of the
commission was to then recommend
to the u. s.. court the amount its
members deemed sufficient, the
court to finally determine the mat
ter, subject to- appeal by either the
government or the private owners.

Phil BeIand, Homesteader Living on

Of HaIIucination.

crowd of his neighbors, bent upon
his capture and restraint.
For some time past, Beland, who
is young man of industrious dis
position and hard worker, has
imagined that he is sought by Pine
Island" lumbermen, and few days
ago this hallucination took posses
sion of his mind, to the exclusion of
every other thought except seeking
place Of refuge from his pursuers.
Beland took to the woods and
ever since has been in hiding, wand
ering, night and day, in the thick
underbrush and through the watery
swamps until he looks almost like
a haunted animal rather. than a
human being.
He has so far been able to elude
his pursuers, but hope is enter
tanned that he may be captured and
induced to give himself up.
P. A. Walsh, the sheriff Of K ooghi-
iching county, has been H6ti6 Icon
cerning the case, and requested to
join in the search for Beland.
