members of the party looked at the conglomeration of keys and then ct the big steel cages and no one offered to try.
 MT. Bynum states that this precau- tion is taken in case of mob violence. Even with all of the keys on several rings, 1t would be almost impossfbie for one not accustomed to the jail 10 f,nd which one its the many locks that have to be turned before a prisoner can be liberated from one of the cells. Each man in a cell is behind seven locks and they are so arranged that a person has to know them to get them open. Unless a taller was securely guarded after he had been made to give up the keys by a mob, he would have plenty 6f time to give the alarm and ser 'deta chment of officers to the building before the mob could get in its work.

remarkable speed. The remainder

considered very strong one and
the locals are playing a very fast
game.

STATE DRAINAGE ENGINEER
TELLS OF WORK BEING DONE
George H. Ralph Who Was Inspecting Work Being Done on
State bitches in Koochiching County, in Bemidji
Yesterday, Enroute to St. Paul.

- George H. Ralph of St. Paul. state
drainage engineer, was visitor in
-Bemidji yesterday, returning from
an inspection of the drainage work
that will be done on the new state
bitches that are to be dug in Koochi-
ching county.
Mr.. Ralph has party of surveyors
working on surveys on the Little
Fork river.
The main ditch on this survey
commences at a point about one
mile east of Littlefork village and
extends north to Rainy river, dis
tance of about nine miles.
Mr.. Ralph says of his work:
Besides the main ditch on the
Little Fork, there will be three lateral
bitches extending eastward dis
tance of three and one-half miles
apart. 1t is this system of ditching
which will entirely reclaim the big
marsh between the Little Fork river
and International Falls.
1T is planned to construct high
ways along the bitches, and these
roads will connect the Little Fork
settlement with the Rainy river
and International Falls settlements,
and will also give direct outlets for
the settlers on the Rat Root river
and the upper Little Fork river to
both Little Fork and International
Falls.
These bitches are under con-
struction and will be completed as

Series Scraps at Mcintosh.

NJ. M. Merrill, who spent last
night in the city, tells of a serious
encounter at Mcintosh, in which
both belligerents we're injured to
such an extent that at least one of
them may die.
Ole Broke and Joseph LaF Fournier
became involved in dispute, while
in a Mcintosh saloon, and ended
by engaging in a fist fight. They
fell through the plate glass window,
demolishing the glass. The glass
fell on both scrappers," LaFour-
nier receiving a severe cut on the
head, while an artery was severed in
Brokke's hand, with the result that
the latter may die.

Buena Vista, Aug. 9.-(Special to
Pioneer. "a sad drowning occurred
here this afternoon at 2 O'Clock,
when Ira Wicker, an employe in a
drug store at Grand Forks, N. d.,
who has been here with a party of
companions taking an outing, sank
from the sight of his companions
in Lake Julia and did not re-appear,
the dark waters of the lake closing
over the spot where Wicker disap-
peared, ending his career in a watery
grave.
Wicker and two companions
named GLADDEN. came to Buena
Vista from Grand Forks last Satur-
day to enjoy an outing at the
Hotel Summit for fortnight. They
had spent week fishing, camping
and boating on the lakes hereabouts.
1t was decided today (Friday) to
60 to another lake, and all the
boats were removed from Lake
Julia. Later the project of going
to another lake and picnicking was
abandoned and the entire Dartv
went down to the shores of Lake
Julia to take bath.
The boys found a sort of raft,

way will be built in cooperation
with the county commissioners of
Itasca county and will be under
their management. The dirt taken
from the ditch will be used for the
construction of the road.
I'm St. Louis county we have
three quite extensive systems in
course of construction. One of these
systems is east of Kelsey and Con-
sists of main ditch eight miles long
and two laterals two and one-half
miles each, and they will drain
twenty-four sections of swamp land.
The highway that. is to be con-
structed in connection with this
ditch will be under the supervision
of the St. Louis county board of
commissioners. 1t will be a great
benefit in connecting isolated settle
ments with centers of trade. Another
ditch near Meadowlands consists of
a main ditch seven and one-half
miles long and four laterals averag-
ing two miles each. The ditch will
drain twenty sections. Another
system of bitches is in the vicinity
of Island and consists of main
ditch seven miles long and four
laterals one and one-half miles long
each. This ditch will reclaim about
eighteen sections of land. High
ways will be built along the meadow
and and island bitches.
In Roseau county we are CON-
pleting the Improvement of the

soon as the present plans are carried
out, and it will take until next
season to do the work.
This ditch work will cost about
$4,000, and when it is completed
it will reclaim from $4,000 to 10000
acres of swamp lands and open
much adjacent territory to present
settlers.
We have also surveyed and have
now under course of construction a
system of drainage at Big Falls.
This ditch starts one mile south of
the Falls and runs north for a
distance of twelve miles and reclaims
large swamp. The outlet of this
ditch is the Big Fork river. This
work will be done at an estimated
cost of about $4,000. and will re-
claim over $4,000 acres of land.
I'VE have also surveyed a ditch
at Northome which will be con-
structed this season. The ditch
starts one mile east of Northome
and extends west for distance of
twelve miles, having for it's outlet
Battle River. The ditch will be
completed this season, at a cost not
to exceed $4,000, and will reclaim
about 1000 acres of land.
In Itasca county we have several
bitches under way, near Bowstring
lake, which will drain from 10000
to $4,000 acres of swamp land.
Along this ditch we will construct a
highway nine miles long. The high

'Roseau river, which is the entire
outlet of almost all the drainage
area of Roseau county. The work
will cost about $4,000, and will
reclaim and indirectly benefit
$4,000 acres, and make possible the
drainage of 100000 acres.
-Four bitches are in course of
construction in Kittson county, at
an approximate cost of $4,000, land
will reclaim about $4,000 acres.
In Marshall county a ditch four
teen miles long is under construction
and will drain $4,000 acres, at a
cost of about $4,000. A highway
will be built the entire length of
this ditch. .... .1.- ~.
All of this work is being done
under the provisions of Chapter 40
of the laws of 1907, which requires,
in the construction of state bitches,
that all lands benefited shall pay
their just share of the cost of the
ditch. .-.. ..- ."....
This year we have an appropria-
tion of $4,000 to spend for the
drainage of. state lands, which en-
ables US to construct at least
$125,OOO worth of bitches, private
lands benefited being required to
pay their share of the cost.
Under the cooperative feature
of this law, which authorizes the
drainage commission to cooperate
with the county boards in any
county in the state in deepening,
widening or Strengthening any nat.
ural watercourse or any county or
state judicial ditch. Such co-opera-
ton is given by the state where the
burden would be excessive to the
settler. IT,.
Under the above feature, we are
doing work in the following counties:
Polk, Wilkin, Wadena, Todd, Kan
dayohi, Nicollet, Wabasha, Steele,
Jackson and Aitkin counties. The
work outlined for these counties will
consume the moneys available for
this purpose for this year. The
state aids, to small extent, the
bitches that will be constructed in
this way. The ditch work will cost
at least five or six times the amount
appropriated by the state"

sometime, the logs floating quite a
distance from the shore.
Wicker swan in the direction
of the raft, with the intention of
bringing it to shore. He went al
most to where the raft was lying

the lake and a thorough dragging
of the bottom was made that the
body of Wicker, with life extinct,
was recovered from the lake.

body and decided no inquest was
necessary.
The body was taken to Bemidji
