Faribault, Jan. 6.-Since the dis
covery of iron ore on the farms of
e. j. Leary, and George Marks, south
of this city, experts have been assay
ing and investigating to learn the ex-
tent of the deposits. Samples taken
from the surface and tested show 80
to 60 per cent metal, and it is thought
by the experts that there are even
greater values below.
The ore was discovered on the
Leary farm because of the frequency
by which tightening struck in that
neighborhood. Mr.. Leary procured a
magnetic needle and started prospec-
ing, which ended in the finding of ore
known as brown hematite. Shortly
after he and his family located black
magnetic ore.

John Magnuson who lives at 1905
North Seventh street, met with a
bad accident yesterday afternoon. He
is stone quarry worker, and was in
his woodshed and tried to pry off a
dynamite cap that had become fas-
tened to the side of the shed. In
doing so he exploded the cap so close
to his left hand that the latter was
entirely disabled. The third finger was
so badly mutilated that it had to be
taken off at the second joint, the index
finger was split open, and the thumb
was knocked partly off. The physi-
clan who was summoned believes that
ne can save the index finger and thumb
but states that Magnuson will be laid
up or three or four weeks.

Owing to the decrease of business
there was quite a shake-up i'll the
Omaha offices at st. James. The
position of night chief was temper
ariIy abolished, reducing Night Chief
McSteen to the ranks of the dis
patchers and reduces Dispatcher Maloy
to the position of car distributor or
operator. One operator less, lets out
C. b. Fairfield. In the assistant SUI
perintendent's office, a stenographer
and one clerk are out. Mr.. Maloy
will look around for another position
before electing to take one of the
lesser jobs. The change may take
Messrs. MaIoy and Fairfield from st.
James but it is hoped but temporarily
and that it will not be long before
there is a resumption of business that
will warrant restoring of former con-
ditions among the Omaha boys, says
The Journal Gazette.

The incubator manufacturing company
today added eight men to its factory
force, now having twelve men work
ing aside from the proprietors. Orders
for incubators are beginning to come in
thick and fast, from all parts OF the
country, and this large increase in the
force of hands was made necessary
so that the company can keep up. This
morning on order for eight incubators
was received from Canada.
1t would not be surprising if this
industry grew to considerable proper
tions with steadily increasing demand
for incubators. If so, the company is
planning to branch out and KEEP
abreast of the times.

Sleepy Eye, Jan. G.-The attempted
robbery of the state Bank of Sleepy
Eye, between 4 and a. IN. Satur-
day, was foiled by Night Policeman
Roman Kruger. That the robbers
were not professionals was shown by
the crude outfit of tools which was
left behind, and which, it is suspec-
ted, was stolen from passenger coaches
and the roundhouse in this city.
In making his rounds, Kruger went
through an alley near the bank and
was knocked down from the rear by
another robber stationed on guard
with a club. The robbers then ran
away, and there is no clue to their
identity.

than twice the sales OF any former
day being made. 1t was by far the
best sale yet. The aggregate amount
received for the horses sold was 81 ,443,
and yet the prices brought were low.
Two st. Paul buyers were present,
but the prices were too high for them

Kansas City buyer got most of the
horses. One COW was sold, and some
vehicles, harnesses, etc.
