 When the debate on the judicial sal ary bill was resumed, Mir Mitchell of Marion. proposed an amendment that the increased salaries should not be given to the present judges.
 MT. Long. of Butler was opposed to the bill He though it wise for the members to go slow in the squapdering of the peoples money. by reckless in- crease In salaries. Every judge in the State. he said. knew what the salary of the position was before he ran for the place, and he should be satisfied with that amount.
 Mir. John of Jefferson objected to the declaration that the Legislature was "squandering the peoples money" He declared the judges were now under paid. It would only take. he asserted n reply to a question. something like $7.00O more money to pay the salaries of the judges under tn proposed scale than at the present figure. which was set twenty years ago.

 1fg. Mitchell asked question relat- ink to expenses received by judges. and Mir. John replied that the bill pro- posed to fix the salaries at a figure which would include all expenses.

 MT. Carmichael of Colbert, began his argument for the bill by referring to the prosperous condition of the State No one has introduced a bill In tnIs Legislature" he said, ito reduce the rate of taxation"
 T introduced such a bill" interpos- ed Mr. kornegay of Dallas, but the committee sat down on It." His state ment was greeted with laughter.
 Mir. Kornegay thought the Legisla- ture too reckless with the peoples money, and compared the lawmakers to the small boy who founi himself with pocket full of money, and want ed to see how soon he could spend it. The Legislature should not waste tue peoples money

the Webb block, the property on the
corner Of Main and Fourth. and a
number Of :other buildings in Bis
marck and cleans up all the holdings
of Mr.. Mckenzie except his interest
in the Bismarck water company.
The sale has occasioned consider
able speculation on the part of Mr..
McKenzie's many friends here, as
they had no intimation OF such a
deal pending,and interest is attached
to the deal by the uncertainty as o
the future purpose of the seller.
It is reported that Mr.. NICK enize

may be that he has transferred his
interests here for the purpose of bet
ter carrying out his plans on the 9TH

Wood High and Scarce-The scar
city of wood in northern Minnesota
is said to be as great as in this state.
Labor to cut and haul same is dear,
and the wood itself has been cut
down and sold near to the railroad
stations and no great supply has ac-
cumulated in the last year or two.
In some of the towns where large
amounts Of wood formerly were
bought by the country merchants
there is now hardly enough for To-
cal supply until more can be cut. Not
until cold weather and the lakes
freeze over will there be any great
stock of wood for out side shipments,
is the statement of dealers.

fell backwards, turning completely
over and falling to the bottom head
first, striking his skull on the rocks
and crushing the bones. 1t is sup
posed that on removing the stone at
the bottom of the we'll he uncovered
a vein Of gas that was not noticed
when ne first went down and the
rush of gas was so strong that it
overcame him before he could reach
the surface although he was hauled ur
as fast as..the horse, which was turn
ing the well machinery, could do it.
When it was found that Sorenson had
been killed in the we'll. friends went
at once to the J. ". Goodrich farm
near by and brought back several
graphing hooks that were kepv
there. In the meantime Jack Fergus
bad offered to 60 down and fasten 8
rope on Sorenson's body .sand took a
rope with him to do so, but on reach
ing the bottom found he could not
work, being prevented by an iron
support that was used in descending
to the bottom. He took off the rope
in opposition to the warning of his
friends at the top and very soon af-
terwards they heard him call cup,
up" The rope that Fergus had gone
down with came up but nothing On
the end.of it..and the graphing hooks
that had just been received, were at
once lowered, and by lucky catch:
one of the hooks caught in the collar
of Jacks coat and he was raised to
the surface, but supposed to be dead.
1t took. about ten minutes hard
work, the same as with drowned
person, to get breath into the
lungs. AS Fergus has been delirious
since: just what he did after reaching
the bottom of the WE'LL, is not known.
It was brave but rash attempt to
rescue a fellow workman who was
thought to have chance for life
when Fergus went down in the well.
The deadly effects of gas are known
to all we'll drillers, but precautions
that are necessary are frequently
neglected on account of familiarity
with the occupation and not infre-
quently accidents like the above are
met with, as result.

KILLED BY GAS
Death In Well From Breathing Gas
Narrow Escape of
Jack Fergus.

Sheriff Wasser and Deputy Weber
were called to the country Tuesday
on information that man had been
overcome by gas while digging a
we'll. The locality was east OF the
city about four miles on the old
Lloyd place on section 33. The mans
name is Herman ..Sorenson, and the
facts regarding the accident, as far
as could be learned, are that he was
digging in well down 66 feet and
not over feet across. Jack Fergus
of this city, made a daring attempt
to rescue Sorenson and went down in
the we'll for the purpose and united
himself but was overcome by the gas,
and when finally hauled TO the sur
face was almost dead and it was with
difficulty that he was restored to
life. Sorenson had been hauled al
most to the surface by assistants but
when near the top slipped from the
rope and fell back to the bottom.
The coroner has been summoned and
an inquest will be held over the re-
mains Of Sorenson (which were brot
to the city this afternoon. Fergus
was pulled to the top only with great
difficulty by means of hooks that
caught in his clothing.
Fergus was taken to his home and
was unconscious Tuesday afternoon.
The we'll had been -dynamited yester-
day to break up a large--stone that
was found in the bottom of the we'll
and the accident occurred this MORN
ing when Sorenson went down to re-
move the rock. The deceased has two
sisters residing in the city. Sarah
Sorenson and Mrs. M. Thompson
whose husband has been working
near Spiritwood threshing. The re-
mains we're buried in one Of tle
city grave yards. Sorenson has been
residing in the county about Two
years. Sarah Sorenson is an employee
Of the Ringuette Bros. laundry and
the family has but RECENTLY arrived
from Norway. Deceased was not
married.
1t is said that gas has been found
in most of the wells in that part Of
the county, and some twenty years
ago man lost his life in working 10
a well on the Eddy farm.
