HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
FROM BEING DROWNED
Frank Hickersvn Attempted to Cross
River on Ice. Broke Through
Into Water.

Frank Hickerson, a night watch
man at the power house of the Bel
trami Electric Light & Power CON-
pany on the Mississippi river five
miles east of Bemidji, had narrow
escape from drowning this morning.
H;ckerson was walking up the
bank of the river about mile from
the dam, when he started to cross on
the ice to the other side. The ice
was in very unsafe condition, and
when Hickerson reached the middle
of the river the ice gave way beneath
him and it was only by clinging to
the ice with stick, which he had
been carrying, that he was able to
keep from being swept down the
river.
Hickerson shouted again and
again, and as the wind happened to
be blowing towards her farmhouse a
half mile away, Mrs. Albert Brewer
heard the cries. Mrs. Brewer ran
half-mile to the dam and secured
men, returning to the the river just
in time to save Hickersop, who had
been in the water for three hours.
The adventuresome man was almost
frozen and unable to speak. He
was taken to the power house and
wrapped in blankets. It is thought
that he will recover.

MOOSE CREEK COMMUNE
BEING RAPIDLY SETTLED
j. r. Koar Progressive Farmer and Homesteader Tells
OF Needs Of Upper Red Lake Settlers-Difficut Get
ting Means Of Communication

The territory around Moose
creek is being rapidly settled with
a progressive set of farmers who
will soon have that section de-
veloped into one of the most pro-
gressive agricultural and dairying
districts of Beltrami county," says
J. r. Kolar, who has fine home
stead near the mouth of Moose
creek, where that stream flows into
the northeast end of upper Red
Lake.
Mr.. Kolar was in the city yester-
day, after an arduous trip to the
county seat that would make the
average city man" quit and return
back over the trail.
In company with Nelson Cole,
another farmer of the Moose creek
district, Mr.. Kolar walked around
the shore of upper Red Lake, cross
ing the Tamarack river at Lyons
place and continued on to Shotlev,
from the latter place taking up the
trail" to Foy,thence to Battle River,
Blackjack river and completing the
hike" to Redby, on the south
shore of lower Red Lake, where Mr..
KoIar transacted some business in
connection with logging accounts,
coming on to Bemidji to look after
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-05-06

some matters at the county seat.
The trip from Moose creek on to
Redby repre- sented continuous
walk of close to 40 miles, and Mr..
Kolar states that he and his COM
panion "hoofed'' the entire distance
in one day, starting very early in
the morning and arrived at Redby
late that night.
Mr.. Kolar states that number of
homesteaders who made filings at
the Cass Lake land office on lands
in the Moose creek country are al

ready on their claims and are busily
engaged in building their homes
and preparing for the summers
work. There are many Bohemian
settlers in the Moose creek country,
several of whom came from Illinois,
being frst-class farmers, and of
thrifty disposltion-just the kind of
people needed to develop a new
country and hew out homes in the
timber country.
One of the conditions which is
something Of a drawback is the diff
Guilty experienced in getting into and
out of the. Moose creek settlement
A bridge is needed across the
Tamarack river, so that those desiring
to go towards Kelliher can do so,
without the necessity of using a
ferry and paying toll. A possible
relief is in prospect. through the
rumored extension of the Kelliher
branch of the Minnesota & Inter-
national Railway northward, few
miles east of the eastern end of
upper Red Lake. from Kelliher to
Spooner and Baudette. This road
would give splendid outlet for the
settlers and farmers all along the
country intervening. At this sea-
son of the year a trip from the
Moose creek country necessitates
an arduous trip afoot, for the most
part; but later in the season the
NJ, R. L. & M. railway operates a
boat from Redby to Shotley, with
occasional trips to Moose creek, but
the expense attached to the latter
journey is rather high.
Mr.. Kolar predicts a great future
for this community, along agricul-
tural lines. -.-.=

The event was ceIehrated in Mazatlan by banquets and dances. and the ndyent of the railroad cerain- y warranted "big doings' as it Is the first time q railroad ever entered Aiazatlan. There are any nurnber of grown people there who have never seen a train.

This seems Co be Q splendid country for locating ranch land, as there are thou sands Of acres of fertile land, with plenty Of water. and not being cuti- vated. I suppose that the railroad entering the country will soon bring new people to improve the lands and enable them to ship their products.
 We went by diligencia, (oId) fash toned, clumsy stage coach) from Ma Zatlan to Tepic. stopping for two or three days at each town along the lire. which VilI soon have the rail road. We stopped at Villa Union, Bosarico. EsQuinapa. Acaponeta, San- tiago IVcuintla and Topic. All of these places have either a corps of survey ors or a grading camp for the new road and the country seems rich in mineral and agricultural possibilities.
