The Crookston Journal of yester-
day contained the following article
concerning the sensational disap-
pearance of T. J. Taft of the Rap
ids":
"A sensation has been sprung
from Grand Rapids, Mimi, through
the complete disappearance of T: J.
Taft of that place who has not been
seen or heard from for the past
two months. 1t appears that Mr..
Taft, who is a we'll known logger of
Grand Rapids, left just two months
ago for Crookston, saying that he
intended going to the old Burlington
farm northwest of this city to see
E. H. Barnes, the present lessee of
the place, in an endeavor to secure
work for his horses until it froze
up.
Mr.. Barnes had sent his horses
to work in the woods for Mr.. Taft for
many years past and nothing was
thought of the non-appearance of
Mr.. Taft for some time. Finally
Mr.. Barnes was communicated with
and it was learned that Mr.. Taft
had never put in an appearance at
the Burlington farm at all.
A relative who worked for a
farmer named Armstrong, near Buf-
fington, was written and he also had
seen nothing of Taft.
&C. A. Tullar, a prominent resi-
dent of Grand Rapids, took the mat
ter up and he has been unable to
find anything of Taft though he has
searched high and low.
Charles Forest, of Grand Rapids,
a brother of the missing man. has in,
stituted search for Taft and has
received absolutely no word Of him.
The missing man has wife and
one child who want to hear of his
whereabouts. Taft is described as

A, G, RUTLEDGE IS OUT
AS DEPUTY GAME WARDEN
rendered Resignation Some Time Ago,
to Take Effect October 1.-Suc-
cess0r Not Named.

The resignation of A. c.. Rutledge
of this city as a warden for the
Minnesota State Game and Fish
commission, which was rendered toi
the commission some time ago, has
been accepted, and beginning
October /, Mr.. Rutledge is no longer
in the employ of the commission.
The resignation was voluntary
act on the part of Mr.. Rutledge,
who did not care to further serve as
warden, his reasons for quitting be-
ing strictly of a personal nature.
The warden quits the commission
with the very best of feeling on the
part OF the commission towards Mr..
Rutledge, as is attested by the
following statment made by Carlos
Avery, executive agent of the CON-
mission, in letter to Mr.. Rutledge,
recently:
Il regret very much your taking
this step. I thoroughly appreciate
the service you have rendered dur
ing my connection with the work,
and am certain that the other mem
bers of the board do ALSO"
Who will be appointed to fill the
position of warden, made vacant
by the resignation of Mr.. Rutledge,
has not been given out, as yet; and
it it barely possible that no one
will be appointed at present. Rumor
has it that John King, the veteran
political war horse of Walker, has
received an appointment as warden
for Cass county, which was part of
the territory covered by Mr.. Rut-
ledge.

and the arms shown brightly from
the reflection of the electric lights.
When the order came to fall in,
and the movement was executed
with splendid precision and spirit
that showed Willingness to obey
orders and execute commands with
celebrity, it was very evident that

Company K:
considering the fact that Com

barely five months ago, the showing
made by the boys last evening was
very good. They are all splendid
specimens of physical manhood

show great willingness to take up
the work of the national guard.
Another thing, your people appe ar
to be backing the company with the
right kind of spirit. which is very
essential for the successful main

A MAN SEEN NEAR FOWLDS
MAY BE T. j. TAFT.-WANTED.
Man at Fowlds Gave His Name as "Albert Carlson
Of Grand Rapids. -~~s.

a short, thick-set man, SO years of
age, and smooth faced. ~~'
About 10 years ago Taft dis
appeared and was absent for 6 years,
when he suddenly reappeared, gave
no explanation, took up his bust
ness where he had left it and has
been attending to it ever since till
his disappearance two months ago.
There was nothing in connection
with his finances that would have
caused his disappearance, and opin-
ion is divided as to whether he has
made away with himself, has been
the victim of foul play, or has
strayed off in a state of mental
alteration.
G. A. fuller of this city states
that he has not heard that there
have been any tidings of the
whereabouts of T. ]. Taft, who dis
appeared from Grand Rapids some
two months ago, and who cannot
be found.
Today D. E. Dixie and H. A.
Fladhammer, who reside in the Town
of Liberty, were in Bemidji, and
they report having come in contact
with man in their neighborhood,
who answers the description of Taft.
and whom they believe will prob.
ably prove to be the missing Grand
Rapids logger, if he is again located.
The party referred to was found
by Mr.. Dixie last Sunday, about a
mile from the latter's home, Sec. 10,
Town of Liberty, and the man gave
his name as Albert Carlson. It was
noticed that the stranger was
mentally unbalanced and that he
was visibly bothered much. He
stated that he had been to Crooks
ton and that he was on his way to
Fowlds, and must 60 to the lumber
camps there.
Carlson Gas he called HIMSELF was
directed the road and was again
found in a swamp, and not having
gone where he was directed. Messrs.
Dixie and Fladhammer took Carl
son" to the railroad track and
started him northward toward
Fowlds, and that was the last seen
of him. They do not know whether
carlson" reached Fowlds or not.
An investigation will be made in
an endeavor to again locate Carl
son" and ascertain for certainty if
he is not Taft, wanted at Grand
Rapids.

adopted by the Senate, directing
the Interstate Commerce Commis-

any corporations engaged In inter

any stock of other corporations
which are transporting passengers

is further directed to transmit a
statement showing the extent and
details of such ownership, so far as
the facts now appear in the office OF

cases the corporations whose stock
is so owned have been competitors
for traffic with the corporation own

FENCE POSTS.
What Treatment with Creosote Will Do.

The United States Forestry Com
mission have sent out the following
circular: Fence posts of many kinds
of cheap woods which ordinarily
would soon decay if set IN the
ground can be made to last for
twenty years by simple treatment
with creosote. Most of the SO called
inferior" woods are we'll adapted
to the treatment, and this is espec-
tally true of cottonwood, aspen,
willow, sycamore, low grade pines,
and some of the gums. When
properly treated, these woods out
last untreated cedar and oak, which
are becoming too scarce and too
much in demand for other uses to
allow of their meeting the demand
tor fence posts. 1npregration with
creosote has been greatly cheapen-
ed by the introduction of the "open
tank" 4" which can be installed at a
cost of from $50 to $45, or much
less if all old boiler is used. A tank
with bottom twelve square feet in
area will suffice for treating forty
or fifty six-inch posts a day, or
double this number when two runs
per day can be made. The absorp-
ton of creosote per post is about as
follows Eucalyptus, one-tenth
gallon; willow, two tenths gallon;
sassafras, ash, hickory, red oak,
water oak, elm and maple, four
tenths gallon; Douglas fir, quaking
aspen and black walnut, six-tenths
gallon; sycamore, cottonwood and
lodgepole pine, seven tenths gallon.
The price of creosote is about ten
cents per gallon in the East aud
Middle West, sixten cents per gal
lon on the Pacific coast, and TWEEN
ty-seven cents per gallon in the
Rocky Mountain States. The cost
of treating a post therefore vary
