Recent statistics indicate that the

does not force his confidence, because
she realizes quiet well that he will

DRUNKEN MAN ATTEMPTS
TO KILL SWAN SWANSON
While Sleeping Swan Swanson Is Sud

Cass Lake, Nov. I6.-(Special to

an awful tradegy was narrowly
averted early this morning when
Swan Swanson, a lumberjack en-
ployed in the Seeley camps, hear
Leech Lake dam awoke just as a
fellow lumberjack was about to
swing an axe down upon his sleeping
form.
The two men had been quarrel
ing just before retiring for the
night and their mood was in no way
pleasant. 1t was thought, however,
that the matter had been forgotten
after the men had retired for the mig h t
but about o'clock in the morning
Swanson's quarreling mate awoke,
dressed and journeying outdoors
provided himself with an axe.
On returning he made directly for
the bed of Swanson, and carefully
pulled the bedclothes. Just as he
raised the axe to strike, Swanson
awoke and in a second was on his
feet. He made a grab for the axe
just as it was falling.
The force of the blow was stopped
considerably, but the axe struck
Swanson in the head, making an
ugly wound. At this juncture the
assaulter bounded for the door and
disappeared into the woods.
Officials at Bena were notified of
the matter and they are seeking the
would-be murderer.

1t had been the original intention
of this gang of surveyors to have
extended their surveys southwark
to within two miles of Ebro, on the
Great Northern west of Bagley and
southwark from there, but they de-
cided to abandon the survey tenn
porarily so as to 20 to Bismarck and
start a survey from that place to
New Ulm, intending to return to
Clearwater county within month.
Bert Umland, county surveyor of
Clearwater county, has extensive
knowledge of the topography of the
country through which the newest
railway enterprise is accredited with
having a desire to run, and he has
mapped a line for the surveyors.
This line would extend to within
two miles of Ebro and extend on the
flats" to Bagley, passing southwark
to the Walker Brook Valley, through
Moose and Bear Creek township to
the east side of the Itasca State
Park, thence southwark through
Hubbard county and onward to New
Ulm.
The object of the survey being
made by the Great American con-
struction company is to furnish a
direct route southwark for the Grand
Trunk Pacific road, from a point on
the Canadian Northern, in Canada,
west of Lake of the woods south in
to u. S. territory to New Ulm,
where connection can be made with
some of the railways the lease of
