Frank Smith, who is one of the
trusted lieutenants for the Brooks
Bros. Lumber company of Minneapo-
lis, came in last evening from Minne-

looking after some business matters.
The Brooks people are the possessors
of lot of logs and lumber, which is
in the town of Roosevelt, about
fourteen miles north of Solway,
where there is small mill at which
the lumber has been sawed. Mr..
Smith states that there are probably
100000 feet of the lumber already
sawed, and that there are some 1OO,-
600 feet of logs yet to saw. Mr..
Smith will superintend the saw
ing of the logs and will have the
lumber hauled to Solway for ship
ment to St. Paul, and he is looking
for teams with which to haul the
lumber.

Rescued a"Foxy' Squirrel.
A man in New York state who owns
several fine cats stepped out of his
house one day to see two Of his feline
possessions crouched in the grass, and
equidistant between them sat com.
mon striped squirrel, not daring ia
move hair lest he invite the sharL
claws Of one or both of his enemies
but the anxious brown eyes rolled from
side to side as he calculated his chances
Of escape between the two The man
walked on toward the squirrel, and
when he came within jumping distance
the squirrel seized his opportunity and
leaped upon the mans trousers and
ran nimbly to his shoulder. Then the
man backed slowly toward a tree at
no great distance from him. Again
when within leaping distance the
squirrel jumped into the tree and dis.
appeared amid its branches.

Favors Meeting of Wardens.

In a letter to A. G.. Rutledge,
local game warden, Carlos Avery,
executive agent for the State Game
and Fish commision,,h has replied to
the suggestion of holding meeting
of the various game wardens of the
state at st. Paul, which suggestion
was made by William Munich, warden
at Crookston, and Mr.. Rutledge.
Mr.. Avery says:
I have at various times suggested
to different wardens the practice
ability of holding meeting some
time during the winter at St. Paul,
or some convenient point, when the
warden5 could get together and COM
pare notes. I suggested it to the
board at one meeting and I think
that it met with some favor.

and, in this connection, the name OF
Sherman Smith, we'll known Mime
apolis politician, was mentioned.
Two of the jurors, Lyman G. Bach
ellor of Madelia and E. c.. Benedict of
Sabin, Clay county, were mentioned
specifically as having been in CONSUL
tation with Mr.. Smith, while the affi-
davit of Lawrence Ritchey, an en-
ploye of the secret service depart
ment, tended to show that six of the
jurors had been approached on the
subject.
After granting the motion to dis.
miss the case Judge Morris directed
the clerk to issue an order citing the
two jurors mentioned and Mr.. Smith
to appear before him and show cause
why they should not be punished for
contempt of court. When arraigned
the men were held for trial, bail being
fixed at $4,000 in each case.

TWO MINISTERS RESIGN.
Retrements May Strengthen Japa
nese Cabinet.

Toxic, Jan. 15.-Yoshiro Sakatani,
minister of finance, and Isaburo Yama-
gata, minister of communications,
have resigned from The cabinet Their
designations have been accepted. The
resignation of Marquis Saionji, the
prime minister, has been refused.
Masahias Matsura, minister of jus.
tice, will combine the portfolio of
finance, and Kehara, minister of the
interior, will combine that of the min
lister of communications. This leaves
the cabinet without any new element
and removes the disputants, who have
been the disturbing factors.
The whole matter is now believed
to be settled, There probably will be
some changes of items in the budget
and probably the government may de-
eide not to increase taxation, but in
stead reduce the appropriations for
the army and navy. It also is posi-
BILE that it may be decided to issue
loan to cover the deficit

MURDEROUSLY-INCLINED
FINS CAUGHT YESTERDAY
Men Who Carved Companion, at Schey, Pursued for
Eight Miles by Angry Crowd....Jaled at Bena....
Injured Man Unconscious.

at the time of the assault say that
the three Finlanders had been
quarreling over some trivial matter,
and after considerable discussion
agreed to shake hands and drop their
differences. They had no sooner
compromised than two of the number
made a vicious onslaught on the
third, and pulling out their knives
slashed right and left, inAicting
several long gashes on their victims s
face and nearly severing his tongue
from his mouth.
The men with the knives only
desisted in their bloody work when
they saw someone approaching
from Schley. They took to the
woods and started toward Bena. A
crowd was soon organized and
started in pursuit; and for eight
miles the chase was a hot one, the
Flnlanders finally being overcome
with fatigue and surrendering.
The victim of the murderous
assault was placed on a passing
train and brought to Cass Lake,
where physicians worked for tour
hours sewing up the wounds in the
mans face and tongue and stopping
the flow of blood.
The man did not regain conscious
ness during the night, so it has been
impossible to learn his name. How
ever, he is a Fin, and all that could
be learned was that he was en-
ployed in the woods near Schley.
His condition is serious, some of
the arteries having been cut, causing
a great loss of blood.

MUNN'S PETITION WILL
Be Determined JAN. q
His Attorney Appeals to Pardon Board
for Communication of Sentence
to Imprisonment.

County Attorney Henry Funkley
yesterday received notice from F.. D.
Clough of Crookston, attorney for
Merten S. Mum, to the effect that
Mr.. Clough will appear before the
state board of pardons at meeting
to be held in St. Paul January 21,
for the purpose of taking up with
the board the matter of committing
the sentence of Mum from capital
punishment to life Imprisonment.
1t is understood that Mr.. Clough
has already taken up the matter of
committing Munn's sentence, and
that the board agreed to pass
definitely on the question at the
meeting to be held next Tuesday.
It is said that a large number of
letters have been received by the
members of the board of pardons
from several parts of the northwest,
all of which appeal for mercy for the
condemned man. Among the letters
which it is claimed have been sent
to the board is one written by a
former governor of Wisconsin.
Two brothers of Mum have been
very active in his behalf. They
have no hope OF securing a new trial
for Mum, but will leave nothing
undone to have his sentence CON-
muted to life imprisonment.
The case will be definitely settled
next Tuesday.
Mum is sentenced to be hanged
at the Beltrami county Jail in this
city February 9TH.

Cass Lake, Jan. 15.-(Special to
Pioneer. )-The two Finlanders who
made murderous assault on
companion at Schley yesterday fore
! noon, we're captured near Bena late
yesterday afternoon by a angry mob
, of lumberjacks and woodSmen, who
had chased the Fins f,om Schley
to Bena Ca distance of 8 miles), the
: crowd going over brush and trees
, and through swamps and meadows
. until nearly everyone who partici-
pated in the chase was exhausted.
The two Fins were placed in the
village jail at Bena, where they will
be held awaiting the result of the
action of the Cass County officials.
When the assault was made yes
terday forenoon, crowd was quickly
formed at Schley and they gave
pursuit to the fleeing would-be
murderers. The Fins kept running
until they were completely out of
wind and finally surrendered to
their determined pursuers, at Bena.
The crowd was in an ugly mood,
and had it not been for the counsel
of cooler heads, the mob would un-
doubtedly have made short work of
the Fins and strung them up to
telegraph post. AS it was, the men
were given a sound beating before
being lodged in the Bena jail.
Both of the men are Finlanders,
unable to speak English, and their
names could not be learned for a
certainty up to an early hour this
morning.

Quick Action Gains Audience in Pitts
burg Theater.

Pittsburg, Jan. ia panic was
narrowly averted at the Nixon theater
during a performance by Henry Mil.
Ter and Margaret Arglin when a cloud
of smoke came through the floor and
filled the stage. A large audience was
on the verge of a stampede when
House Detective Frank Morgan rushed
into the theater, commanded all to
keep their seats, said there was no
danger and explained the smoke.
A waiter in the restaurant under
the theater started a small fire by
lighting a match in a clothes cup
board. Morgan learned of this and
hurried to the auditorium before the
smoke reached the stage. One woman
tainted and several were carried out
on the verge of collapse. No damage
was done and the play was COM
