HELLER HAS CLOSE
CALL IN LAKE
RIVER
Well Known Crookstonite Fell
Through Hole and is Badly
Soaked Up.

]. F. Heller proprietor of the Queen
City Green house at Crookston had an
experience in the Red Lake river
which he does not care to repeat. He
was returning home in the evening
after delivering an order of flowers,
and to save time crossed the river
near the old hospital building. There
is an open place there. caused by the
rapid current, and he leaped across it
as he had done many times before.
On landing on the other side, the ice
gave way and he was precipitated Into
the ice cold water to his arm pits.
Fortunately the snow on the ice was
soft and sticky, and grabbing franti-
cally for the ledge Of ice on the far
side the snow stuck we'll and he was
able to hold himself up while the
swift current washed his body close
to the ledge and he scrambled out and
hurried home, being none the worse
for his experience. He realizes now
that he. came near adding one to the
long list of victims claimed by the
treacherous Red Lake river at Crooks
ton.

John Schultz, who has been men,
Der of the firm of Russell & Schultz
of Devils Lake for number of years
will leave in May for Germany where
he goes to take possession of a vast
fortune left him by relatives. The
Schultz family in Germany is very
wealthy, and John is the youngest of
a family of several children. AS soon
as he served his time in the German
army he came to America where he
has remained for nearly a quarter of
a century. About year ago he was
appealed to by his brothers to return

fortune which was awaiting him, but
he has been 50 busy here that he has
been unable to find time to get away.
Now that he has sold out he will go

he will return to Devils Lake next
fall, however, and that he expects to
make that city his home.

FATHER C0NA7Y PREACHED SERMON
IN ST. MARYS CHURCH At WINNIPEG
st. Patrick Day. He sad Has Ceased to Be An Exclusive
Irish Holiday, But Was Universally celebrated-The
Conversion of Ireland

Winnipeg Free Press: In St. Mary's
Catholic church yesterday concen-
trated the religious national sentiment
of local Irishmen, and there were
overlooking congregations throughout
the day. Pontifical high mass was
celebrated at 1890 a. m. by Arch
deacon LaAngevin. Being Passion
Sunday, under ordinary circumstances
music would not have been permiss-
ible, but, by special dispensation, Vie
gand's mass was used.
The Rev. Father Leduc preached
briefly, impressing upon his hearers
the zeal with which St. Patrick work.
ed for Gods church, and saying that
the Irish people had been scattered
over the world to extend the influence
of the Catholic faith. During the Of
fertory the choir sung cave Maria"
to the air "Has Sorrows Thy Young
Days Shaded"
Speaking from the altar steps at
the close of the service, the archbish-
op expressed the pleasure it had been
to him to celebrate the fast with the
people of st. Mary's, to whom he was
under an obligation for the way in
which they had always supported him
in everything connected with the Cath
olic church. He had been described
in the press, continued his grace, as
true clerical. This had been de-
fined as one who thought solely of
the interests of the Church of God.
He was pleased to accept the title.
There was nothing more worthy in
the world than that a mans first and
last thought should be of Gods
church.

Oak With Pine Knot.

A few years ago was travelling
along a path which leads through
forest near Clifty, w. Va, l saw sew
eral men standing some distance from
the path who seemed to be very much
interested in something. l approached
them. There was an elderly man in
the group, and he was giving his theo-
ry of what seemed to be very strange
freak of nature. They were standing
around a white oak tree of medium
size which had pine knot piercing
the center of its trunk and the trunk
had grown up tight all around the
knot. The knot or branch of the pine
was set at an angle of about forty-five
degrees, and stuck out some three or
four inches on either side of the oak.
1t was a dry pine knot about three
inches in diameter, and looked as If it
had been dead for years. The strange
part Of it was how did it get there?
1t is not likely that it was put there
by the human hand. 1t must have
grown there in some way. The forest
had at some past age been huge pine
forest, as there were plenty of pine
knots lying on the ground all around,
but the pines had disappeared. and
now it is forest of oak and chestnut.
Not green pine is to be seen.

at night by the Rev. Father Conaty,
of Grand Forks, n. D., who was to
have attended the morning service,
but astdelayed on the railway. The
preacher recalled former visit TO
Winnipek, seven years ago, and con-
graduated the city on its great growth
and the evidences of prosperity every
where visible.
The feast of St. Patrick had ceased.
he said, to be an exclusively Irish
festival. There was no feast day Of
any nation so universally observed.
Ireland was and had been in it's in
fluence, one of the greatest world pow
ers. Not by the lurid flash of the
sword did she claim it, but by the
calm light of justice, whose clear rays
shone on forever She had preserved
learning kept alive the spirit of lib
erty, served the causes of truth, JUS
tice and benevolence; and given them
as an inheritance to mankind. The
conversion of Ireland was accomplish
ed without the shedding of drop of
blood. They received the doctrine from
st. Patrick as st. Peter had received
it from Christ, and that doctrine they
had transmitted wherever they had
gone, so that to be called Irish was to
be esteemed a Catholic.
The reverend father spent some
time in describing the persecution
through which Irishmen had passed,
and paid tribute to Erin's famous
sons. Out of their national troubles
had come a strong sense of liberty,
and Irishmen had been ever active in
extending popular rights and in all
movements towards intellectual aman-
cipation.

ONLY EIGHT DEATHS IN NORTH DAKOTA

Only eight deaths in the entire state
of North Dakota and those only indi-
rectly due to cold weather, and very
little suffering Is the feature of
report of the Northwestern North Da-
kota federation just made public.
The federation after making an ex-
haustive inquiry into conditions in
every county in the state, finds that
there have been deaths from cold
weather only in the following places:
Williams county-two deaths.
Ward county-three deaths.
Wells county-three deaths.
In Williams county printer started
from Crosby for his claim on foot, got
caught in a storm and persisted. The
other instance in Williams county was
Crosby school teacher, the particu-
lars of whose death have not been re-
ceived by the federation.
The three deaths in Ward county
occurred at White Earth, Blaisdelf and
Kenmare. Full particulars have not
been received concerning the White
Earth case. At Blaisdell woman was
found under the bed with her body
frozen, and there Is some doubt as to
whether cold weather was the pri-
mary cause of her death.
The three deaths in Well county
were all due to excessive alcoholism.

AN EXCITING RUN.
Colorado Motorist Makes New Noun.
tain Climbing Record.

One Of the most exciting trip runs
that was ever made in Colorado in an
automobile was that of Palmer l..
Richardson of Longmont, Colo, Feb
ruary 1, 1907. This was made in a
two-cylinder eighteen horsepower
REQ touring car, in the face of a forty
mile gale between Loveland and Estes
Park. The distance between Loveland
and Estes Park is IS miles, Estes
Park being $500 feet higher than
LOveland. Mr.. Richardson made his
trip of seventy miles with four pas
sengers and baggage, the weight of
which aggregated 700 pounls. In long
stretches the grades averaged over Is
per cent, and it is the sole topic of dis
cussion among Colorado motorists as
to how Mr.. Richardson ever negotiated
the steep inclines on this trip with his
full load. Mr.. Richardson completed
the trip in three hours and 80 minutes,
using three and one-half gallons of
gasoline. This is generally conceded
to be the most strenuous tour ever
made in an automobile within 300
miles of Longmont, Colo, and it is
said to be record breaker in gaso-
line consumption.

The committee, consisting of John
]. Bates of Minot, Joseph w. Jackson
of Williston and G. A. Dickinson of
Ryder, sent inquiries to the coroners,
newspapers and postmasters of every
county except Dunn and Hettinger,
which are unorganized and the re-
ports are much the same.
1t is reported invariably that there
has been little suffering from the cold
weather and that which has occurred
could have been avoided with ordi-
nary precaution.
In many counties there was not a
single death from any cause during
the entire winter. In other counties
seventy-five per cent of the deaths
were people from sixty-five to eighty
five years old, indicating that the peo-
pie of North Dakota are getting a
reputation for longevity.
