jured and rendered unable to finish
the contest. AS each of the skaters
bad won previous race from the
other, the Crookston race decided
the series.
There is a general demand for
another race between Thorpe and
Carpenter, and an effort will be
made to have the boys skate another
race in this city.
Many believe that Thorpe !. is
Carpenters superior, when luck
breaks even. Thorpe was leading
Carpenter by about twenty-five feet
when his skate broke at Crookston,
and his supporters are positive
that he would have won the race
but for the accident.
Manager Wyler is writing to
Mr.. Billings suggesting a race in
Bemidji, and it is likely that Thorpe
and Carpenter will get together
again.

INJURED AT FOWLDS;;
DIED FROM TETANUS
Frank O'Neil of This City Died Tues.
day; Funeral at Catholic Church
Tomorrow Morning.

Frank O'Neil of this city, who
recently had his foot amputated
below the knee, died Tuesday after
noon of tetanus which manifested
itself few days ago.
Mr.. UNeil was employed on the
Crookston Lumber company's steam
decker for loading logs near Fowlds
and had his foot crushed by heavy
chain on February End. He was
brought to the St. Anthony's hospi-
tai in this city and his foot dressed.
On the 5th, inst, it was found neces-
sary to amputate the injured leg just
below the knee. Nine days after
the operation tetanus was manifested
and the patient, weakened by his
injury, was unable to withstand the
disease, dying Tuesday.
1t is understood that tetanus
was caused by germs contained in
Mr.. O'Neil's sock at the time
his foot was crushed. The sock
driven into the foot and the blood
took up the tetanic germ which
was carried into other parts of
the body before the leg was :ampu-
tated.
B Mr.. O'Neil is survived only by
a wife, there being no children by
their marriage. Mrs. O'Neil's father
and brother are now in this city.
J. P. Lair, the undertaken, has
charge Of the funeral which will be

APPEALS FOR AID FOR
SETTLERS CHILDREN
Miss Anna E. Shetland Asks Legislative
Aid for Educating Children Of Re-
mote Settlers.

A recent issue of the Duluth
News Tribune contains the followir e
article of interest to people in ou1
neighboring county on the north:
St. Paul, MINI, Feb. l5.-Anns
E. Shetland Of international Falls,
superintendent of schools of Kooch1
ching county, appeared before State
|Supt. Schultz today to appeal fol
legislative aid for the children of
settlers in that county, who are
bereft of school facilities. Com.
plants had already reached the de
partment that in one section children
of the settlers were unable to secure
school facilities.
Miss Shetland explained that
there are about sixty children
scattered through unorganized town.
ships in Koochiching county, that
cannot 20 to school, because there
are not sufficient funds available.
The county board levied tax to
care for such children, but it did
not furnish enough money and the
schools had to be abandoned.
Miss Shetland suggested, and
the state superintendent approved
the idea, that the legislature ought
to be asked to appropriate about
$4,000 to provide education for
the children of the settlers, who
must stay upon their homesteads
in order to get title from the gov
eminent, but who are so isolated
that the ordinary school arrange.
