Hunter and Trapper Is Arrested
After Mans Dead Body Is
Found Near His
Cabin.

Washburn.-John Speck, hunter,
trapper and fisherman, was arrested
by Sheriff Severson and some depu-
ties on a charge of numbering Barney
Lombard, whose body was found near
Speck's cabin in Barnes township.
The arrest was made after a careful
investigation of the case by the Off
GERS. News of the crime was brought
to Washburn by little Howard Barnes,
son of George F. Barnes. He drove
Is miles to tell the sheriff that Speck
had told him that Lombard's body
had been found in the woods, but that
he (Speck) had no idea as to the
cause of Lombards death. The Off
GERS found the body lying in pool
of blood about 20 feet from Speck's
cabin. Death was caused by gun
shot wound. 1t looked as if the body
might have been dragged from the
cabin to where it lay Lombard was
a quarter blood Indian and had lived
in the town of Barnes several years.
He had a wife and three children.

the fact that the flag would have to be
as large as Ireland. Possibility, how
ever, glimmers in the suggestion that
all the gas and electric lights in some
great city like London should be con-
trolled by one tuIncock and alternate
ly switched on and off to flash mes
sages to Mars
Some years ago Francis Gallon, the
English scientist, sketched out a solu-
ton of the problem, supposing the first
move to be made by Mars. One night
the earth astronomers are to notice
peculiar scintillation on the disk of
that planet. These lights are to be
recognized as regularly varying in du-
ration, B being twice as long as A
and G three times the length. Soon
these flashes, distinctly divided by
pauses, are realized to be sentences
consisting of series of numerals.
Then the messages are spelt out,
as stating the distance of the planets
from the sun and other arithmetical
data. In short, Mr. Cation imagines
that three or fCdr years careful OBJ
servation would give code of signals
for full and complete intercommuni-
cation.

HOW SIGNAL TO MARS?
Problem Has Long Occupied the
Minds of Scientists.

Mars is now much nearer the earth
than he usually comes, which fact
suggests an inquiry as to what use has
been made of the 10000 francs
(s2.O00) which an old French lady be-
Queathed to the Institute of France
for the discovery of some means of
communicating with the planets in
general and Mars in particular. This
bequest was made about ten years
ago and it was safeguarded by the
provision that if the French scientists
refused the responsibility-wh they
did mott was to be offered to Milan
and. falling there, to New York One
man has suggested monstrous tri-
angles in the Sahara to attract the at
tention of Martiap astronomers and
convince them of our knowledge of
geometry. But a line on the earth's
surface would have to be at least so
miles broad to be visible from Mars
