DRAGGED FROM DEATH.

FRANK Peterson Sinks In Big Bog While
Seeking to Scuttle Ducks.
Frank Peterson, Tom Kaliher,
Oscar Peterson and Fred Hass, having
received intelligence by phone that
ducks abounded in vast number at the
Big bog, secured rig and sailed
forth on Friday night to wage destruc-
ton. On the way to the bog the rig
upset in a deep rut and precipitated
the party into mud hole, where con-
siderable moisture was sucked up by
the boys clothes. The rig was soon
righted, however, and the journey re-
sumed. Arriving at the bog the four
hunters branched out in different d.
rections, Frank saying that he knew a
hole where mallards, redheads and
pitfalls gathered in great number,
and as he is an absolute failure in wing
shooting he decided to try his hand at
scuttling. So off he strobe DER the
spongy ground. He tripped and fell
a time or two, but plodded on toward
the hole sweating but swearing not.
At last the hole he found. He was in
it.! He was sinking fast and help so
far away. Down, down he went until
his chin rested upon his gun which be
held horizontally across two hillocks.
And then, finding all attempts at ex-
trication futile, he yelled-he roared.
"Help! Murder! Fire!" were among
CALCULATIONS which he waited DER the
swamp. In this position he remained
for near an hour before he was heard
by the other. hunters, who rushed to
the rescue. They arrived there none
too soon, for Franks grip had begun
to weaken and he could have held on
but.sa short time longer. He was
pulled from out the hole, but the mud
had packed itself so tightly about his
legs that his rubber boots remained
in the bog and, we presume, are in
there still. And the mallards and the
redheads and the pitfalls are still
waiting for Frank to scuttle them.

NEW OPERA HOUSE
Will Open Tonight With Hallowe'e en-
Ball and Proceeds Will 90 To-
ward Piano Purchase.
Everyone Should Attend and Thus
Show Appreciation of Mar
tin Brands Enterprise. ~

Tonight Brands opera house will
be formally opened with a Hallowe 'en
ball and the management is deserving
OF liberal patronage. The purpose for
which the dance will be given is that
of securing funds for partially defray-
ing the cost of frst-class piano,
which Mr.. Brands intends to pur-
chase for the opera house.
This opera house has been built at
large expense and no pains have been
spared to make it commodious and
suitable for theatrical, dancing and
other public purposes. The scenery is
the very best obtainable and the floor
is just the thing for terpsichorean
events. The peoples needs were care
fully considered in designing this
opera house even unto the minutest
detail and Mr.. Brands is entitled to
commentator for his enterprise.
Turn out tonight in full force and
manifest your appreciation of your
townsman's progressive spirit. A
piano such as that which Mr.. Brands
intends placing in the opera house will
cost several hundred dollars, and it
is not expected that the proceeds of
this dance will cover the expense, but
it will defray part of it.
Attend the piano benefit dance to-

A Lesson from Mile Laos County.

The little city of Princeton will this
year ship 1,500 cars of potatoes. This
reduced to bushels is 100000 and to
dollars 100000. These are all
brought in in wagons, and few of the
farmers who raised them can boast of
farm of more than eighty acres
under cultivation.
More than this, the territory from
which these potatoes come has fifteen
creameries. These, with the stock and
pigs which travel with dairying, will
add another $500, 900 to the income of
these farmers. Other products may
safely be reckoned to make the total
million dollars.
Is it any wonder that these farmers
are growing rich and that they hold
their lands at from $50 to $50 an acre?
Yet Mile Laos county is one of the
more recently settled of this section of
the state. The oldest residents can re-
member when its lands were consider
ed of little value and could have been
bought for SIS an acre or less, though
Princeton is as near Minneapolis as
the range is to Duluth.
It was then a lumber district. Mil
lions upon millions of feet of pine
have been logged on the "Raging
Rum," and much of the county is cut
over land. But with this section of
pine stump land and the burned over
EHinckley district is large belt of fine
hardwood timber.
It is, in short, much like St. Louis
county north of Duluth in the original
character of its timber, and, while the
soil about the county seat is black, it
is largely a clay loan. The moral is
that what has been done in Mile Laos
can be done in st. Louis.
It would mean something even to
Duluth to have farmers marketing
ST, 900, 900 worth of produce here an
nually. But, better than this, if it was
one million, it would soon be five, and
that from no greater territory than
can be reached by wagons.
This city and the range cities alone
would consume the dairy products of
10000 average farms, and if these
farms were in St. Louis county the
So, 0OO, 900 spent for butter, milk and
cheese in turn would be spent in these
cities. This is the way to spell pros
perity, and it is the only way that has
been discovered in all the ages, all
reform methods having proved to be
absolute failures.
The wealth that comes from agricul-
ture stays at home; the wealth that
comes from mines flies. The 10000
farms would bring more wealth to St.
Louis county and keep it here than do
all the mines on the ranges, and they
would not be for twenty years, nor
fifty years, but forever with ever in
creasing productiveness. - Duluth

Prayer of Petitioners Refused.

A special meeting Of the village
council was held on Friday evening to
take action upon the petition of Caro-
line McCool and A. S. Mark for the
vacation of an alley running north
and south between the property owned
by said petitioners on First street.

the granting of such petition upon the
grounds that there was no other
means of approach to the cottage
owned by him than through said
alley.
By unanimous vote of the council
the prayer of petitioners was refused.

TWO SEACKS Quilted.

Fire Starts simultaneously in Orr and Berg
Buildings on First Street.
At 1890 Monday night the villagers
were aroused by the fire whistle and
buried to the scene of the blaze on
First street, where the Abe Orr frame
building and a wooden shed formerly
used as blacksmith shop were send
ing forth tongues of flame. The fire
department worked with a determina-
ton and through it's efforts the flames
were extinguished before the buildings
were entirely consumed, and the boys
prevented spreading of the fire. to
other structures. From the appear
ance of the Quilted buildings it would
seem that they are scarcely worth re-
pairing. They should be pulled down.
; No one occupied the Orr building at
the time of the fire, Mrs. Smyth, it's
last occupant, having vacated the
upper part of the house, where she
lived, over week ago. The other
building contained quantity of ear
corn, which was badly scorched.
Gables Of the Tri-State and Rural
Telephone companies were injured by
the fire to the extent of compelling a
temporary suspension of business
over part of the systems.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The Orr building was insured with
j. j. Skahen in the Home company of
New York for $500, but there was no
insurance on the Berg shed,

Proves Up on Claim.

Miss Blanche Byers returned on
Tuesday from her claim near McKin-
ney, N. D., having resided thereon
the full time required by the statute
and proved up on the property. She
expects to hereafter reside in Prince
ton. Miss Byers belongs to that type
of Minnesota girls who are afraid OF
nothing. She lived alone in her
shanty on the bleak prairie through
out the cold winter and de6ed the
wolves and other ferocious beasts
which came prowling around o'nights.
She certainly earned her claim.

Gerald Patterson Tniured.

While Gerald Peterson and Glen
Terrell were taking their regular pony
exercise on Saturday 81. Il. Farnham
came along in his buggy and the boys
challenged him to race. For the
fun of the thing he accepted the chal-
lenge and the race began. They were
all proceeding at a good speed when
a dog rushed from yard and attack
ed Glen's steed, which turned around
and forced Gerald's pony to take the
center of the road. Immediately be-
hind came Mr.. Farnham, and before
he was able to rein in his horse it ran
amuck of Gerald's pony, throwing it
off it's feet, undressing it's rider and
turning over the buggy. In the mix
up Gerald received a severe bruise on
the right leg between the knee and
ankle and Harry Farnham was pitched
from his vehicle with considerable
force, while Glen Terrell managed to
escape without injury although he was
nightly scared.
Gerald is slowly recovering, but the
bruise is occasioning him much pain
and Mr.. Farnham is trife sore and
stiff OF limb from the experience.
