Mr. and Mrs S G Chambers departed
Tuesday for two weeks visit with rela-
tives and friends in New York state.
Miss Mamie Paul, who has been in
Milwaukee with her brother Will for a
few days, returned home Monday even
ing. Mr. Paul is recovering from an OPP
Grafton which was performed upon his
face and it is expected that he will be
able to leave the hospital within week
After many months of intense suffer-
ing, Mrs William McEwan died Thurs
day night at l o'clock of malignant can
Ger of the left cheek bone of her face.
Mrs McEwan had been a resident 4 this
place nearly all her life and WAS highly
esteemed by all who knew her. Every
thing that medical skill, loving care and
good nursing could do had been done to
relieve her suffering.
Clark Crandall, after lying at the point
of death for many hours from coal gas
asphyxiation, is slowly recovering. Mr.
Crandall lives alone in little cottage
opposite S G. Chambers residence. Miss
Addie Crandall and her neighbor, Mrs
George Maltpress, not having seen Mr.
Crandall as usual went to the house
nearly or about IL o'clock Tuesday
morning. Alarmed at finding the doors
fastened they called Mr. Crandall's
brother Amos, who gained entrance to
the house by way of cellar window.
Mr. Crandall was found in an unconsci-
Gus condition. The doors of the coal
stove we're open explaining the cause of
his condition. 1t is supposed that an
explosion of gas blew the goors open and
that the rapidly generated gas thereafter
filled the house. A kerosene lamp had
burned itself out. Physicians were at
once called and worked over Mr. Gran
dali for the remainder of the day, and it
was not until evening that there seemed
much chance of saving his life. How
ever, since that time he has been slowly
regaining consciousness and unless some
thing unforeseen should set IN he will re-
cover. Mr. Crandall is over so years old
and is one of the few original settlers of
this vicinity who are still living.

big Thompson Bros seine last week and
Melted 10000 pounds of carp and other
rough fish. Almost an equal number
got away. The work of emptylng the
seine and putting the fish in the racks
occupied several days. This is the larg-
est haul ever made at Lake Koshkonong
and it's success was due partly to the low
stage of the water.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
f. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10

Mr. Reopen, residing four miles south
east of Stoughton, butchered fine hog
few days ago, and after the meat was
quartered he left it in shed to freeze.
The next morning, however, he found
that some midnight prowler had "froze''

breakfast. Later in the day good sized
ham was found in his cornheld, the thief
having evidently taken more than he
could conveniently handle. The man
has so far been unidentified.

A fire which broke out Saturday noon

in the same building. The law Office of
Fred Huber was also smoked up but not
otherwise damaged. The flames we're
soon put out when gotten at. It's diff
fcult to estimate the loss as vet, but it
is believed all will be covered by insur.

MUST PAY FOR DAMAGING
PUBL &c ROAD ALTHOUGH
WORKING ON PUBLIC
CONTRACT.

At recent jury trial in Wadena
county the jury decided that man
in charge of a dredger for contractor
was guilty of illegal destruction of
property, and he was fined $l5 and
costs. In the ditching operations the
machine came to a bridge under
which it could not pass, so the man
cut right through road to get around
the bridge, and continued with the
work without repairing the road.
The town authorities repaired the
road at cost of over $50, and then
instituted suit against the man for
illegal destruction of property, with
the above stated result
The contractor, for whom the man
was working, is now being sued for
the amount Of damages to the road.
AS in the work already contracted
for there are bridges in the way,
under which he cannot pass with he
dredger, it is very likely that the
cases will he taken to the higher
courts.

when he decided to use the shingles
made by Mr.: Lemieux as against some
offered by Mr. Porter, trouble brewed.
He was indicted for malfeasance by

came up before Judge McKe1vey, the
matter was dropped. Mr.. Rasicot

St. Cloud Times e. Are there
still richer and greater iron deposits in
Minnesota than the vast underground
pockets of ore of the Messaba and
Vermillion that have made hundreds
of people wealthy and endowed the
North Star State with millions for the
generations yet to come?
Is the SO called Guyana range really
an extension of the Messaba and does
the ore deposit become deeper az you
travel from the great workings at the
northwest end to the yet undeveolped
southwest2
And what is of more interest locally
has D. II. Freeman of this city made
an iron "'fnd'' that is to rival the
richest Hill lands that gave "melon
to every Great Northern stakeholder?
That Mr.. Freeman has located an
iron find of undoubted richness be-
tween Randall and Fort Ripley which
is now owned by himself and his
associates, mostly St. Cloud people,
and that Mr.. Freeman himself
positively believes in an affirmative
answer to each one of the foregoing
questions is the conclusion that q
Times representative came to after
talking with Mr. Freeman for several
hours at his home today.
Much that Mr.. Freeman said cannot
be published now, but if his con-
illusions, arrived at from several years
of patient investigation are correct,
the United States Steel company does
not own go per cent of the iron ore
deposits of the country as is claimed
by those who are interested in the
conservation of our national resources.
The new find begins at Randall, u
small station on the Staples cut off Of
the Northern Pacific, fourteen miles
from Little Falls and extends to Fort
Ripley on the east side of the
Mississippi. ~
It is continuation of the so called
Guyana range but as Mr.. Freeman
claims is. really the extension of the
Mesaba, the richest iron ore range in
the world. This under ground
metallic stream ranges in width from
forty to sixty acres and extends for {
distance of fourteen miles with few
short breaks. The ore is found at {

BOOM co. LOSES CASE
Supreme Court UphoIds
Verdict Of Lower
Court

The supreme court has just handed
down its decision in the case of Joseph
Mandary vs. the Mississippi & Rum
River Boom company, UNFOLDING the
decision of the district court. The
case was tried before Judge Taylor in
this city at the September term of the
district court in 1907, in which plain
tiff sued for 500 damages to his land
from water and logs, caused by log
jam which was in the charge Of this
company in the winter of 1906 and the
spring of 1907. The boom company
had offered to settle for $40, but in
the trial the jury awarded the plaintiff
verdict for $751; The company
then appealed the case with the above
stated results. s,
The syllabus of the supreme court s
decision is as follows:
Joseph Mandery. respondent, VS.. Mis-
sissippi & Rum River Boom COM
pany, appellant. <...u.r' ...se.~f-
Syllabus "A corporation organized
for the purpose of driving, floating
and conveying logs on navigable
streams is required to exercise
ordinary care to prevent the same
from doing damage to the property of
riparian owners. Such duty demands
the exercise of : ordinary care to
prevent logs, delivered into streams by
owners from lodging and creating
jams and distractions in the stream
and thus forcing the water out of their
natural course to the injury of
riparian property. It does not con-
clusively appear from the evidence in
this case that appellant company could
not, by the exercise of ordinary care
have prevented its logs from creating
a jam and causing the injury com
planned of. .-2 - :. .-.,...'<.
Second Upon the questions OF
damages properly qualified witness
may state how much less, in his
opinion, the premises were worth after
the injury than before.
