STRUCK BY TRAIN
DIES At HOSPITAL

Pat Mulligan, whose former
home is in Boston and who has re-
sided in this section for a number
Of years, died at the Beach hospi-
tai last Monday as the result Of
injuries believed to have been
caused by being hit by train the
previous day.
Mulligan was unconscious when
picked up and remained in that
condition practically all of the
time up to his death, amt was at
no time able to solve his mysteri-
Gus misfortune. It has been
stated, however, that Mulligan
had started to walk to Yates, but
upon reaching state line he de-
cided to return to Beach, and was
within about a mile Of the latter
city when found near the n. P.
track in an unconscious condition.
Mulligan's skull was badly
crushed, several ribs fractured and
one lung pierced. He was taken
to the hospital at Beach for treat
ment, though the doctors enter
tained but little hope for his re-
covery, and early on the following
day the unfortunate man passed
away.
The deceased is said to have
been we'll and favorably known at
Beach where he resided the past
two years, though he also had a
claim in the vicinity Of Baker,
Mont. His mother who resides in
Boston, was notified, and it is be-
lieved that the remains will be in
tered in the Beach cemetery to-
day when the mothers arrival is
expected.
Later-Just before going to
press the Pioneer learns that Null
igan had gained consciousness suf-
ticently to explain shortly before
his death that he had not been hit
by a train, but that he had been
beaten by some one instead, and
that he was dragged unto the track
and after partially regaining his
strength, managed to crawl out
Of danger from the cars. He was
unable to give any facts which
might throw light on the motive

T. j. Bushell returned the first
of the week from a business trip
to the Twin cities. While there
Mr.. Bushell attended the State
Fair, and says that although the
exhibits were fairly good, the
attendance was unusually small,
owing principally to the contin-
ued wet weather.
Chas. M. Lund was a business
visitor in the city today from
Edge Hill. Mr.. Lund had his
wheat crop threshed this week,
and reports an average yield Of
ten bushels per acre. He also
informed the Pioneer that the
Dennis elevator would be ready
to receive grain within the next
week.

LAND DECISIONS

The homestead law does not in
express terms require establish
ment of residence within six
months from date Of the entry, as
said in Nilsson vs.. St. Paul, M. &
M. r. r. Go. (6 l.. d. 567-569).
The law gives a period Of seven
years within which to prove five
years actual residence and cultiva-
ton.
The Land Department, like all
other tribunals, recognizes rights
arising from inevitable cs.sulty.
Serious illness cf member of one S
family is inevitable casnlty, for the
anxiety arising from affiiction and
the duty arising from human obll-
cation constrain the mind SD that
it is not free to carry out its, pur-
poses.
When real estate, comprising
more than 100 acres had been con-
veyed to a person by another for
the purpose Of defrauding creditors,
such guarantee took the legal title
and did not hold as trustee. When
such guarantee thereafter made
homestead application, he was
disqualified, upon the ground that
he was the owner Of more than
l6O acres of land.

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING SENTIMENT
Bride To Stand At Altar Where
Grandmother Was Wed.

On last Wednesday morning an in-
teresting social event occurred in
Rayne, La, that Is OF Interest to
many people Of Pascagoula where
L. Daboval, Jr., who has become
interested in the ports progress, has
recently made many friends. Mr..
Daboval's beautiful and talented
daughter, Miss Elise Daboval, on that
morning formally announced her en-
gagement to wed Archibald @. Chap.
pulls, a prominent young rice and cane
grower aud warehouse owner Of the
same little city.
Mr.. Daboval stated, just before
leaving Pascagoula on Monday, that
the wedding would probably occur 10
historic old St. Louis Cathedral, New
Orleans, although both the young
people are residents Of Rayne. 1t
was 10 the st. Louis Cathedral where
the bride. to.be's father and mother
plighted their troth, and over half a
century ago, before that self.same
altar, the young maiden's paternal
grandparents stood before Gods min.

CHILD WITNESSES DROWNING
Assistant Lighthouse Keeper
Goes To Watery Grave.

George w. Fullerton, assistant light
house keeper at Round Island, was
drowned on Monday afternoon near one
Of the range lights 10 which he went to
flll the lamp. His ten-year-old daugh.
ter, who sat In launch, witnessed the
drowning, but was helpless to render
aid. The keeper missed his assistant in
the late afternoon and swept the bay
with his glasses, finding the launch
with the girl alone In It and . skin
drifting away. The girl says the skiff
broke from its anchor and started to
drift. Her father dived from the beacon
light to swim for the drifting skin. She
saw him sink before reaching the little
boat.
Mr.. Fullerton IL survived by his wife
and six children, all the family but the
child witnessing the drowning being
back In Alabama at their old home. He
was transferred to this port about six
weeks ago, coming from Alabama. The
body has not been recovered.

THIRD GLASS ROADS.
Considerable complaint has come TO

touching the third class roads let out
under contract by the board of super

as strictly TO their contracts as
should be, and that the members Of
the board of supervisors should give
more attention TO these roads them
selves.
The facts as ascertained by the
grand jury have not been sufficient, 10

but we recommend that the board o
supervisors require a better perform
ance OF the contractors duty unde
such contract.

county, and while the same Is clean
