the hat got on the hook at the Rustin
home no person could say.
II cannot. tell how the hat got
tfere,% said Mrs. Rustin. Il had no
time to think of such thing the night
my husband was shot"
ut was suggested to her that the
maid might have hung the hat on the
nail where it was found. but Mrs. Rus
tin stated the maid had not seen the
hat and had not known 1t was. there.
There was nothing to indicate that 1t
had not hung where 1t was since the
shooting, and no person at the Rustin
home knew of it being touched since
that time. Mrs. Abbie Rice, who is
still held at the police station, identi-
fled the hat as one worn by DR.. Rus;
tin when she left him three hours be-
fore the shooting. She was sure there
could be no mistake. 1t has been
turned over to the county attorney.
No bullet hole was found in it.

4 Sonthbonnd Milwaukee passenger

p. m. daily would have been derailed
"Wednesday afternoon near Lonsdale
had the engineer and brakeman not
been on the alert.
A tie was placed squarely across the
rails at point two and half miles
west of that station, evidently by some
insane person or miscreant. The train
was going at a fast rate of speed but
the men in the engine cab saw the OBJ
struction ahead in time to stop the
train, else serious wreck might have
resulted
The train reached Mankato few
minutes late and the passengers were
greatly excited over the narrow escape
Fhe attempt TO derail the train was
reported to Superintendent Irwin who
Immediately issued orders to all train
crews to run very slowly between

Railroad detectives have taken ur
the matter and an effort will be made

Grand Marais, Minn., Threatened
BY Flames on All Sides.
SEVEN PERSONS ARE MISSING
White Man, and Six lndi ians Are Sup
posed to Have Lost Their Lives
Not Far From Town.

Duluth, Sept. 16.-Grand Marais is
girdled by roaring mountains of fire
and smoke and it is believed that a
man named Monker and six Indians,
cut off from town by fire in their ef-
fort to save some homesteads at Mes
ter, perished in the flames. This is
the news brought in by Adjutant Gen.
eral Wood and officers of the Mime
sofa naval militia who arrived on the
Gopher from the north shore. The
Gopher is in for coal and provisions
and will return to Grand Marais. They
say the danger Is not yet over by any
means. Lutsen, a small settlement
near Grand Marais, is in the greatest
danger, say the naval militiamen. 1t
is surrounded by fire and everything
there seems doomed to destruction,
although 1t Is not thought that any
loss of life will occur. For the fate
of Monker and the six Indians who
went to Nester, homesteaders' set
tlement not far from Grand Marais,
there are very grave fears indeed.
"The men started out from the town
In an attempt to save some of the
party located on the Nester road, and
the fire swept in behind them and the
village, and it is thought that they
have perishsd," said General Wood
"Cnless they were able to escape in
the other direction they are lost.
Their chances of escaping the other
way are thought very slim, because
q big fire was coming toward them
from farther inland"
At Colville, six miles from Grand
Marais, everything went, said General
Wood. Among those burned out there
were Mrs. H. Shepard, Ever Johnson
and Eli Mizenia.
"The situation looked very bad at
Chicago Bay" said Commander Eaton,
"and people wanted us to declare mar
tial law there, but we did not deem it
necessary. However, we left ten men
from the ship there. Forty men from
the boat were left to fight the fire at
Eutzen and twenty were left at Grand
Marais. AS soon as we secure coal
and provisions here we will start back
on the Gopher"
The officers of the Gopher declare
the gravity of the situation on the
north shore has not been exaggerated
in the least and that the Gopher was
Of great service to the people of the
north shore.
