The prospects for ircn ore developer
ments in the vicinity of Plllager
grow brighter as time passes. There

Farmers from over the river are
bringing in samples OF ore from
places where it crops out on the sur
face. There are also ore beds unoer
the hills north Of Pillager as the IN

featured and are ready to make tests

NEWSPAPER WIRELESS STATION

One of the first wireless stations
installed for the exclusive use of a
newspaper is one part OF the news
gathering machinery Of the Boston
Herald. 1t will be used extensively
in receiving news from sea, and from
inland stations when weather condl-
tions make 1t impossible to send news
as during the interruption to telegraph
service during the Taft Inauguration.
Under such circumstances the operator
should be well supplied with golden
grain belt beer. 1t keeps up his nerve
and it will prove beneficial to all who
need a mild tonic. Be sure to have a
case in your cellar and drink it
regularly. Order of your nearest
dealer or be supplied by E. s. Tanner,
Little Falls.

Elk River Star News: The potato
market Of Elk River has surpassed the
most sang zine expectations this year,
and growers are in most happy
frame OF mind, buyers ditto, and
business men wear perpetual smile.
The city scales commenced doing bust
ness on the 3rd of August, and from
that time to the Sd OF October.
Weighmaster Hastings says 1850
wagon loads have been weighed there
on. Other scales have weighed enough
to easily bring the total up to 5000.
which would mean at least 500 car
loads, or train of car over four
miles in length. It has been estimated
that the average per load has been 30
bushels, which would make an ag-
gregate of $50, 600 bushels. The price
has averaged 40 cents a bushel, max
ing a total of 100000 received by
growers at this place for potatoes alone
between the dates above mention, and
the crop is but little over hall
marketed, according to best estimates.
All the conditions have been favorab le
for the potato growers this year
there has been just enough moisture.
G4O "Odtu0A OOCA AOOuA LII AAo
cling, and the market has held ul
better than it was expected it would.
There have been from a dozen to
fifteen buyers on the market and
competition has been brisk. AS
verifcation of this, there has been nc
grumbling fom the growers, all being
we'll satisfied with the conditions.
Experts say that potatoes grown
here are of little better quality thar
those raised elsewhere, and that has
helped to keep prices firm: Otsegc
has furnished more than the usual
quantity of spuds, but probably the
largest quantity has come from out
Burns way. 1t Is expected there
will continue to be more or less OF
market here all winter.
Note-The above article was
printed in these columns Oct. Z.
since which time about 2, 500 add
tlonal loads have been brought in.
This would make a total Of at least
7, 500 wagon loads so far marketed
here this fall, with many thousands
OF bushels yet to come IN.

Pickens Woman, Aged 83, Assaulted

Pickens, July lO.-One Of the
most brutal crimes that has occur
red in this county for some time,
was committed last week, the victim
being a respectable old lady aged SO
years of age, living by herself, but
close to one of her sons. After she
had fastened the doors and retired
for the night, a man came to her
bedside and demanded her money
She told him she had no money;
that her son had 1t, whereupon he
criminally assaulted her.
He gained admittance to her
house by going up ladder to an
upstairs window.
The lady does not know positively
who 1t was, as 1T was dark, but
knows 1t was a negro by his kinky
hair.
The matter was kept quiet until
yesterday. Suspicion rested on Sam
Vaughn, a negro, who was working
In the settlement. He begged his
employer yesterday morning to can
Gel the contract, which was done.
The negro made one statement,
which, taken in connection with
other circumstances, led to the ar
rest Of Vaughn yesterday evening,
and he was placed in Jail last night.
The people OF the eastern portion of
the county are greatly wrought up
over the deed.

She, however, has steadily refused
him.
To-day they were quarreling on
the back steps OF the woman's house
when the shooting took place. Pat

ago and preached Cn> the streets sew

At the last session of criminal
court he was tried for assault and

tense and came clear.

NEGRO HARD TO HANG.
Took Two Triels to Execute Marshall
Lewis, of Georgia.

Nashville, Ca, July 9.-Marshall
Lewis, the negro who shot and killed
Clifford Rutherford at Lenox in
April, was executed here to-day by
Sheriff Avera at II o'clock. He
confessed his guilt, professed relig-
ion, and gave the usual warning to
his race, and by Publishing a sketch
of his life earned sufficient money to
transportation of his body to his
3%ome at Oakfield, Ga.
The execution was quiet and or
derly, taking place inside the county
Jail. A large crowd came to town to
witness the execution despite the
fact that a heavy rain fell all the
morning. The trap was sprung at II
o'clock. The first attempt to break
his neck was a failure, and he Was
led back upstairs and dropped the
second time. AS he walked upstairs
blood streamed from his mouth, and
he begged for water. His neck was
not broken the second time, but he
strangled to death in about fifteen
minutes. Several hundred negroes,
with few white people, gathered at
