Manning is said to have struck the
senator first, using an umbrella. The
men were badly mixed up when Sen

Such Was the Statement Made by the
St. Paul Pioneer Press of
- Yesterday.
ROAD WILL CROSS THE GREAT
81. NORTHERN IN VICINITY BENA
This, 1t Is Claimed, Is the Route Sc.
lected in Letting Construction
Contract.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press of yes
terday morning contained the follow
Ing further particulars of the letting
of the contract to build the 500
Thief River Falls Duluth extension,
mention of which was recently made
in the Pioneer.
According to the Pioneer Press
article, the 500 has no intention
of coming into Bemidii, it evidently
being the intention of the company
to run as direct a line as possible
from Bena (where a crossing will be
made with the Great Northern) to
Thief River Fails. The line, accord
ing to the Pioneer Press latest"
will pass westward at about Ten
strike, as the Pioneer indicated
when map was recently published
in this paper.
From present indications. the
500 will not build into Bemidji,
which, the Pioneer believes, after
mature investigation of conditions,
is a bad blunder on the part of the
road.
The Pioneer Press saws:
The 500 railway has placed in
the hands of Foley Bros, general
contractors, Gilfllan block, a con-
tract for 22O miles of railway to be
constructed between Moose Lake on
the company's Duluth line and
Thief River Falls on it's Winnipeg
line. The construction will take
two years.
"The line as laid out will run
from Moose Lake to Tamarack on
the Northern Pacihc's Duluth line,
thence to Bena at the foot of the
WlnnlDlgoSh1Sh lake On the
Crookston-Duluth line of the
Great Northern, thence run across
the Minnesota & International
near Tenstrike, going a little
north of due west along the Great
Northern line until past Bemidji,
then going northwest to Thief
River Falls.
s'The work has been in the
hands of the general contractors
for several days and has not yet
been let out to subcontractor. 1t
is understood, however, that the
contractors will have their appara-
tus bound for different points
along the line within few days. "
