MAJOR SKUNK TAKES TRIP
UP RIVER ON "N0RTH STAR"
E. Mcdonald Furnishes Concise Statement as to the Con-
dition OF the Rver-..Commission Has Made Its
Recommendations to Washington

The hearing which was held YES.
terday was adjourned sine die at
about 800 o'clock in the afternoon,
and after making trip up the river
in w. B. McLachlan's boat, THE
North STAR" all proceedings in con.
nection with the hearing were ter
minated.
Yesterday afternoon, E. N.French,
who isin the drug business in this
city, was called and questioned rela-
tive to trips he had made up the
Mississippi river. Mr.. French tes-
tilted that he had made many trips
up the the Mississippi and School,
craft rivers, during the past three
years. Early in the spring, by the
use of pike pole, he was able to 20
up as far as the dam on Lake Plan
tangenet. Both rivers were very
shallow and it was almost impossible
to navigate the river with any safety.
At this point Major Skunk stated
that the complaint made to the
government did not effect the School
craft river; the complaint affected
the bridges across the narrows,
between Lakes Irvine and Bemidji
and logging operations on the Mis-
sissippi..
E. E. Mcdonald, representing the
logging companies interested, made
the following statement to Major
Skunk: ....
Upon the question of whether
there shall be promulgated any
rules for the navigation of the Mis-
sissippi River or Schoolcraft River,
above Bemidji, and governing its
use by steamboats, and logging in
terests, we submit the following
facts:
There has never been any navi-
cation on either of these rivers above
Bemidji by steamboat, except that
small batto with small steam
engine was used for several years by
a boom company in towing boom
sticks and small booms of logs about
in Lake Irvine waters, and even this
boat could not pass from Lake
Irvine into Lake Bemidji, nor pass
up the Mississippi beyond Lake
Irvine. Because of the shallowness
of the water at all times no one has
ever attempted to navigate this
stream for commercial or transpor-
tation purposes with a steamboat
and no one is now desirious of doing
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-10-03

so. The shallowness of the stream
prevents such navigation. The only
crafts that can pass up the Missis
sippi or schoolcraft are small pleas
ure crafts, having light gasoline OF
other motors of from one to eigh,
horse power, and the largest OF
these cannot navigate even the
lower portion of these streams,
except upon very high water.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER"
At the head of Lake Bemidi il
where the Mississippi river flows
into the same, at what is known as
the thorougfare between Lake Irving
and Lake Bemidji, there is broad
sandbar or shoal extending entirely
from shore to shore, at either side of
the inlet and out into Lake Bemidji,
at least twenty-five rods. Over this
there is an average stage of water
not to exceed fifteen inches. And
the difference in the depth of low
water and high water over this shoal
does not exceed one foot. This
shoal or sandbar has always been
there and is of such a character and
size that an artificial channel cannot
be maintained without a Golfer dam.
The thoroughfare between Lake Be-
midi and Lake Irvine is about 80
feet wide, where the banks are
marked. Passing through Lake
Irvine and into the Mississippi river
at the inlet to Lake Irvine, the Mis-
sissippi river is about so feet in
width at the ordinary stage of water,
about eighteen inches deep and very
crooked, with shifting sandbars and
no channel, with small disconnected
pockets at the bends of the river,
and shallow water between the banks,
and this continues all the way up
the river. There has never been
any attempt at navigation by even
small pleasure crafts beyond this
junction of the Schoolcraft and Mis-
sissippi during those portions of the
season when the flow of water is
natural, and even row boats can
pass only with difficulty.
DESCRIPTION OF THE sCHooLcRAFT.
About twenty rods from it's juno
ton with the Mississippi River the
Schoolcraft is crossed bya highway
passing over bridge which is about
nine feet above the surface of the
water at ordinary stage, which has

He worked on his fathers farm until
he was 18 years old. He hired out
to other parties. for about two years,
when he decided to come to- the
United States.
He had a friend at Oakwood,
near Blackduck, in this county, and
he was given ticket from Denmark
to Oakwood and left Denmark on a
steamer, in company with a number
of friends, a year ago.
He came to New York and from
there by stage to Saltwater. He
used the address of a man named
Peterson at Oakwood, in order to
find his way. He worked in Still.
water foruteen days and then went
to Blackduck, the nearest point to
Oakwood. He walked fourteen
miles to Oakwood and afterwards
found his friend, Biglow Peterson.
Mathieson here stated that he
left Denmark in September, 1906,
and arrived in New York some time
the same month, and reached Oak
wood in October.
Mathieson stayed with Peterson
for a week, and worked for various
parties thereabout, frequently com
ing to Bemidji. He came to Bemid ii
in November and worked here for
some little time, stopping at the
Minnesota House, where he met
Johan Johanson, whom he is accused
of having subsequently killed. He
worked here for about three weeks
afterwards going to Tenstrike, hiring
out to Henry Lindgren, where he
and Johanson worked for two
months; afterwards for Lindgren's
brother. Mathieson and Johanson
worked for various people around
Tenstrike and afterwards stopped
at a saloon there, where Mathieson
claims Johanson did much drink
ing.
Mathieson explained how Johan-
son drank and afterwards how they
went to work, Mathieson and Johan-
son working together on cross-cut
saw, cutting logs. They lived in a
house by themselves.
Mathieson told how he and Johan-
son, in February, moved to another
spot on the opposite side of Gull
lake, and began cutting logs on
anoth her contract. .
Mathieson finally led up to the
time when Johanson was kille sd.
Mathieson claimed that the morn
ing Johanson was shot, he got up as
usual, built fire and prepared the

son had been here but one year.
During that time, and while at Jail,
he had learned to talk some English,
and would tell his story, and the
jury could judge for themselves as to
his motive.
Mathieson knew he had done
wrong, but the story as it would be
toll by Mathieson, in his own be-
half, would not carry out the crime
as charged in the indictment (mur-
der in the first degree) having will
fully and with premeditated design

been there over seven years. Pass
ing on through Carr Lake to Mar
quette Lake there is no channel and
the water does not exceed fifteen
inches in depth at ordinary stages.
The current is very swift and just
below the outlet of Lake Marquette
the river is very shallow. Then as
you pass into Lake Marquette, you
find large bar of composed sand,
clay, and vegetable matter covering
an area extending up along the shore
on each side, and out into the lake
at least twenty rods. The water
over this area at ordinary stages is
not to sxceed fifteen inches and in
most of the area not foot in depth.
At low water row boats cannot pass
oyer this without striking the bot
tom. Between upper and lower
Marquette there is an area of con-
siderable extent and at least twenty
five rods wide that is very shallow.
There is only one channel. In this
the water is not to exceed eighteen
inches. At the head of upper Mar
quette there is large sandbar, sim
liar to the one at the inlet of Lake
Bemidji and the water is not to ex-
ceed ten inches deep, and in addi-
tion to this large shoal or sandbar
and Immediately where the water
flows into the lake there is continu-
ally formed shifting sandbars of
some considerable size.
Passing out of upper Marquette
lake into the Schoolcraft river again
we find the river narrower and con.
taining less water than before. The
current is swift up to the dam at the
outlet of Lake Plantagnet. This
portion of the stream has occasional
pockets of some depth at the bend
but they are not connected. No
craft drawing fifteen inches of water
can 60 any further than to a point
eighty rods below Lake Plantagnet
dam. At the outlet of Lake Plan
tagnet is a dam which has been
maintained there for the purpose of
aiding the driving of logs and main
tanning the water in Lake Plantagnet
at the desired level for seven years
and is owned by the person owning
the land on both sides of the river

Johan Johanson.
Mr.. Torrance, in addressing the
jury, asked them to remember that

but little knowledge of the English
language and of the ways of this
country. He was stranger in a

caused the death of his friend and
companion. While many of the acts
of Mathieson in connection with the
crime charged were very wrong,
again they would not bear out the
charge of murder in the first degree.
Amidst almost breathless silence
through the crowd in the court room,
Mathieson was called and sworn,
and took the witness chair.

The accused man was very pale
but otherwise quite calm and
collected, and in giving his testi-
mony he answered in a very low
voice, and was requested to speak
louder. A summary of his evidence
is as follows:
Mathieson was born in Denmark
and is % years old. He attended a
country school in Denmark until he
was seven years old. His parents
lived on farm. He did farm work
and learned to read and write little.

Waylaid and Killed
Wife: then HimselS.

Akron, o., Dec 19.-William Larkin
waylaid the wife who he is alleged to
have deserted two months ago in front
of the Y. M. G.. A. building last night,
grappled with her in the light of a
street lamp and fred two shots. One
bullet entered the base of her brain
and the other her breast. He then
fred two bullets into his own brain.
Both died in few minutes.
The couple were married last spring,
following her divorce from Charles
Summerton.
Larkin had come from Shelby,
Iowa, last Tuesday, and tried to get
his wife to return there with him.
She refused and this, coupled with
jealousy, is the supposed cause of the
double tragedy.
