Brutality Assaulted.

Duluth-Albert Sullivan, one of the
men employed as dock guard here
during the strike, was assaulted at
night and while unconscious was tied
to the track under an ore train with
straps torn from his shirt, and left
there by the men who attacked him.
He is in the hospital, but has not
recovered consciousness sufficiently
to describe his assailants.
AS far as Sullivan has been able
to tell of the affair, his story is that
he was walking his usual rounds on
the docks about $3.50 o'clock p. M,
when two men approached him. One
of them engaged him in conversation
regarding the time of the departure
of some boat, and the other stepped
behind him. AS he turned toward
the second man he received terrific
blow on the head, and the last he
remembers is falling to the dock.

lives in the town of Walcott, several
miles south of this city, believes he
has discovered mine of either cop
per or magnetic iron ore on his farm.
A party from Faribault paid him a
visit and Investigated the discovery.
A magnetic dip needle compass, used
by miners to locate mineral, indicated
the presence of ore where Mr.. Leary
thinks the mineral is. Specimens of
rock were picked up that are rich in
some kind of mineral, which will be
assayed. During the last summer
lightning struck three times in the
same spot where the discovery is
located. From the specimens picked
up on various places on his farm the
indications point to a wide area of
mineral deposits. A number of the
specimens will be sent to the state
