'The Good Samaritan"

The unselish labors which the
Rev. Frank Higgins is doing
among the laboring men in the
woods, and the entire absence of
any 'grandstand" demonstration
on the part lof that gentleman,
was amply demonstrated at the
M. & I. depot this morning,
when two men who were brought
down from the lum bering camps
we're waiting to be taken to st.
Anthony's hospital. Mr.. higgins
lent every assistance possible in
getting the men from the train
and saw that they were made
comfortable before being driven
from the depot, and he did this
in spite of the fact that he was
intending to go away and was in
imminent danger of losing his
train. It is such generous un-
ostentious acts that demonstrate
the "milk of human kindness"
in mans makeup and has ten
dency to spread a christian spirit
among we "heathens."

Mr. Simpson is one of the

He believes that Bena is des-

towns along the line of the M. &

''Why," says Simpson, "there is
the best of agricultural land ly-
ing adjacent to Bena, and there
are already a large number of
farmers in that vicinity; and
there is no trading point, either
north or south of the village,
where the settlers can obtain

LUMBERJkCKS INJURED;
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL
Neil Steele Sustains Fractured Skull,
and Thomas Has a Badly
injured Leg.

Two recruits were added this
morning to the inmates Of st.
Anthony's hospital, both being
''lumberjacks" who were injured
while working in numbering
camps north Of Bemidji.
One Of the men brought to the
hospital is seriously hurt Neil
Steele, who sustained fracture
of the skull. Steele was work
ing IN one of R. E. Whites camps
near Kelllher when he was hurt,
Wednesday afternoon. He was
assisting in cutting logs, when
he was hit by the limb of a
falling tree. The force of the
blow inflicted by the limb rend.
cred Steele unconscious for q
time. He was taken to Kelliher,
where he was examined. He was
brought to Bemidji this morning
and placed in st. Anthony's hos
pital. DR.. Gilmore examined
the wound and found that Steele's
skull had been fractured, on top
of the head, and that the injury
was quite serious. The attend
ing physician states that he has
every reason to believe that
Steele will recover, however; but
he has been in a half-dazed con-
dition since the accident.
Thomas Graham came down
from Northome, having been
brought in a distance of twenty
miles from the Irvine camps at
Pine island. Graham's right
leg was severely jam med by the
rolling Of logs on a load, while be

To the Editor Pioneer
Dennison is city OF $1,000

bank of the Red river, in north
ern Texas. The city was started
thirty-five years ago, and has
been built up principally by the
M. K. & T. r. r. There are
perhaps more northern people
here than in any other city in
Texas. One notices the different
conditions in the state after
crossing the Red river. In this
state they have one coach on each
train, with the following notice
stuck over the door: 'This coach
for negroes. The other coaches
are for the exclusive use of
whites. The law of Texas makes
it q crime, punishable by fine
and imprisonment, for a negro
to ride in a "white" car or for a
"white" to ride in a "black" car.

for whites and one for blacks. II

one drop of African blood in his

here that is equal to any in
