It-is reported on good authority
that a state veterinary surgeon
shot twelve glandered horses,
belonging to Dempsey & Dough
erty, the railroad contractors,
and left the carcasses lying close
to the Itasca road, in section II,
1895. The dead animals are
close to a flowing stream into
which the decaying, putrid mat
ter will be washed. This water
is used by men who travel
through the woods. The state
law requires that the carcasses
Of glandered horses must either
be buried or burned. That a
state official should be guilty of
SO grave and dangerous a viola.
tion of the statutes it almost in
credible, bnt it appears to be the
fact. That deputy should be
summarily retired to private life.

from Brainerd to Big Falls was
made by the party while enroute,
and they particularly noted the
work being done at Big Falls,
conferring with those in charge
of the construction work there.
While there was an air of re.
ticence about the movements of
the "big guns" one of the party
stated that everyt thing in connec-
tion with the building of the Big
Falls. international Falls exten-
sion was progressing as rapidly
and satisfactorily as any of them
had expected, and they were we'll
satisfied with what they saw.
The completion of the line
through to international Falls
would mean much to Bemidji, as
there would be additional train
service, which would undou bt-
edly be extended so as to make a
direct air line, in connection with
the main line of the N. P, from
the international boundary to the
twin cities.
Questioned as to contemplated
improvements in the yards at
this point (notably the building
of a new depot) there was un-
wonted silence and the subject
was Immediately changed.
