WILD MAN |S A
 TERROR ID ALL

ASHCROFT, B. c. July lS-Anothen wild man" has been discovered, or rather has revealed himself. The en- tire upper part of the Pemberton Meadows district is at present terror ized by the numerous appearances of late of a "Mowgli' or wild man.
 News of the recent appearances of the demented crcaturc-for such 1t is believed to bc-was brought here by Rev. Fathers Rohc and Lessieur. who returned yesterday from a months missionary tour through the Pemberton Meadows district Ac- cording to these well known mission ary workers there is great excite mcnt among the Indians in that val ley. A number of the natives have been terrorized by the wild man who armed with a brush knife at the end of a long pole, has chased num- Der of Indians at different places n the valley, where they accidentally encountered him.
 The menace from the wild man and his terrible weapon, which gives him q chance to inflict severe wounds from a considerable distance, is deem ed so great that veritable reign of terror prevails in the upper part of the valley. Every Indian, and even the squaws when they they have oc- caSion to venture forth now go arm ed. Revolvers and firearms are in great demand and the Indians have become so worked up over the wlld man that they all threaten to shoot him on sight. They consider they have the right to take the law in their own hands as there is no police force any nearer than Vancouver or Lillooet, the latter being G5 miles a. way from tn escene of the trouble.
 The wild man is believed to be some former telegraph lineman who, becoming demented from a long, lon! ely Sojourn in the wilds, has run amuck with his brush-hook, an in strument used to cut the small branch es of trees away from the wires.

 RAINY HOLLOW

Capt. Walter s. Brown, president of the Alaska Transportation company, accompanied by James Seymour, his secretary, arrivd on the last City of Seattle. Capt. Brown expects to leave for Rainy Hollow within a few days.
 Capt. Brown let a contract for the building of a small manufacturing lab oratory on the beach to Wm. Leslie and furthermore stated that within three years there would be railroad to the Rainy Hollow mines and that ore would be shipped out on a large scale.
 There is no question about the ex- tent or the values of the ore at Rainy Hollow" said Capt. Brown, "and such being the case we are certain to have road to the mines in q comparatively short time. When we can show beyond doubt that we have the ore, the railroad will be built. I have every assurance of that"
 Mir. Seymour has been an instruc- tor of chemistry at the University of Maine and also has several years of practical experinece.
 George Hinchman left several days ago for Kluckwan and will take charge of the assessment work on the property owned by Capt. Brown and his associates. This year a cross cut will be run on the Mica lode Haines Pioneer Press.

own blood and fast expiring from the
wound in his neck. Also, that
Brown, who was with Fuller, had
rushed from behind the warehouse
and said that he was also shot.
In opening his case for the defend
ant, Barnard Andrew Nelson, Mr..
Funkley moved that the case be dis
missed, and being denied, made
sweeping assertions as to impeaching
the evidence given by several of the
states principal witnesses, and
stated that he would show the good
character and estimable citizenship
of the defendant, who had always
borne a good character as a peace
full citizen. He would also show
that Brown and Fuller knew that
Nelson had money and that the
latter was the object of much concern
to Fuller and his companion. He
would also sh ow that the stranger
who shot Fuller (whom the state was
trying to identify as Nelson) was
some twenty feet ahead of Fuller
and that the latter would have had
to run to have laid his hand on the
strangers shoulder. II
The defendants counsel asserted
that he would, show that Nelson
did not have the old horse pistol
the night of the tragedy; that Mel
son had gone to neigbor's house
to get tools and that he had ate
supper at Haffner's place in
Puposky, leaving the gun and
tools in charge of Haffner, and
had gone home with the bag of
tools. He would show that Mel
son had known that someone had
entered his house and stolen his
gun and that he (Nelson) had
gone to Fowlds and the sporting
house to find the men who had
stolen his gun; and that he would
show that Nelson had placed a
stick in his holster, and that was
the only weapon the defendant
carried that night.
MI. Funkley also said that,
much IS he disliked to do such
things against a dead man, he
would show that Fuller (the muir

The following, taken from the

Floodwood basketball team, is
certainly refreshing news for the
members of the "Big Bem1dg''

Floodwood team two successive
defeats, on Dec. 18th and 9Th, last.
The score of the first of these
games was 20 to and the second

Just how the Herald Review can
conscientiously reproduce the fol-
lowing, calls for an explanation:
"Floodwood, Mimi, is the smallest
town in northeastern Minnesota that
had basketball team that has been
ready to meet all Corners. The
town is limited to population OF
about five hundred, and has just

an available sub. During the past
season this team made a remarkable
record. Out of nine games seven
were won. The total number OF
points for Floodwood were 229

Bill FOR
The ITASCA STATE PARK
Bill in Legislature Providing for Pur-
chase Of Private Holdings and
Maintaining Park.

Representative Edward Kinds of
Park Rapids has charge of a bill
which has been introduced at the
request of the State Forestry Board,
relative to Itasca State Park, which
should become a law, as we und err
stand it. The bill is now in the
committee on finance, and is approx
ed by the committee on public parks,
of which MI. Kinds is the chairman.
The bill provides for the acquisi-
ton Of private holdings within the
park, and for its care and mainte-
nance, and appropriates money there
for, and is as follows:
For the fiscal year ending July
81, 1910:
For the acquisition Of
private holdings with
in Itasca State Park. !. $4,000 90
For care and mainte-
nance and for develop
ment of Itasca State
Park ...................... 5000 90
For improvements and
repairs on Douglas
Lodge and other build
ings and for grading
and clearin g land
| about park buildings. 1850 90
For the fiscal year ending July
81, 1911:
For the acquisition of
| private holdings within
Itasca State Park. 49,. $4,000 90
For care and mainte-
nance and for develop
ment of Itasca State
| Park ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 5000 90
Section 2. This act shall take
effect and be in force from and after
its passage"
| One feature of the bill that is
commendable is the appropriating Of
the sum of $4,000 each year during
the fiscal years ending July 81 1910,
and July 81, 1911, for the care and
maintenance of the park. This sum,
if wisely expended, would allow the
payment of liberal sum for a
custodian of the park, man who
understands forestry and the care
of forests and would insure the en-
ployment of a reliable man who
who would not of necessity be com
PEELED to rely on the perquisites o.
| Douglass lodge in order to receive
sufficient revenue to pay for hi:
labors.
It is privately stated that first
class, capable man has already been
mentioned for the position of the
park-a man who would fill the
position very acceptably, in every
way; but the naming of this gentle.
man is yet but in a proposition
stage.
