YOUNG MAN LOSES LIFE

A terrible accident occurred Tues
day afternoon that cost Fred Taylor,
a young man well known in Devils
Lake, his life. Mr. Taylor was running
big steam engine pillow near Warwick,
n D., and in some manner that win
never be known, fell from his seat in
front Of the great heavy wheels. He
was pushed little distance ahead of
the wheels, and finally one caught him
and rolled over his body crushing his
life out.
The deceased was young man only
% years of age and his death seems
unusually tragic and great blow to
his friends and family. He was sim
gle man and a brother of Elmer Taylor,
employed with Haley and Hyland. A
sister, Mrs. Thompson, lives at War
wick The remains were brought into
Gilbertsons undertaking rooms and
the funeral held yesterday afternoon
from the Episcopal church of this city.
His family have the sympathy Of the
whole community in their terrible loss.
The young man was of splendid char
acter, well liked by all his fellowmen
and gave promise of a bright future.
The regular meeting of the Catholic
Order of Foresters on Tuesday evening
was made an honor affair for Brother
P. J. Kersten. Mr.. Kersten's splendid

special remembrance, and he was pre-
scented with an engraved medal. Re-
freshments were served and the eve
ming counted one Of the happiest the
order has spent together this year.

MAGAZINES NOW BY FREIGHT
New Move Toward Penny Postage is
Begun Today.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 1.-The
post office department today begins
an experiment which is regarded as
one of the most important steps yet
taken by Postmaster General Hitch
cock in his plans to reduce the ex-
pense of the service and thereby pave
the way, so it is believed, for the ul-
innate adoption of penny postage.
The plan inaugurated today pro-
vides that the greater part of the Sec
ond class mail matter consisting of
magazines and periodicals, heretofore
transported in railway mail cars, will
be carried by fast freight. The pub
fishers are to be permitted to print on
the wrapper of each copy or bundle
of their publications. as a part of the
address, instructions as to the date
on which delivery is to be made In
postmasters have been directed to
accordance with this arrangement
carry out the instructions with re-
spect to the delivery of fast mail
freight. Mr.. Hitchcock believes that
the new system will be found salts
factory to the publishers and the
public alike, while the expense to the
government will be far less than
heretofore.

ABERCROMBIE GETS MORE NEWS
Two Estates Comprise Fortune Be-
midju Man is to Share.

A. J. Abercrombie has received
more news of the fortune left him by
the death of his aunt, Mrs. Sarah A.
Parker. Mrs. Parker was sister of
Mr.. Abercrombie's father and mar
ried a wealthy man, who, upon his
death, left her with fortune. This
Mrs. Parker has in turn handed down
to relatives. She owned two estates,
one in Richmond, Quebec, Canada,
and the other one in Boston.
Mr. .Abercrombie has received news
of the estate in Canada from the ad-
ministrator, Geo. J. Alexander, to
whom he wrote upon seeing the ad in
the St. Paul paper some time ago. He
has not as yet heard from the admin
istrator in Boston but as soon as word
is received from him he will send his
attorney, M. J. Brown, to Boston to
represent him in this matter.
The two estates will amount to
about one million and half dollars
and this is to be divided among nine
people. Mr.. Abercrombie has not as
yet made any plans for the future.

and an eastbound Fourth street car
near the corner of Second avenue east
and Second street about $3.50 this
morning John w. Day, manager of
the Duluth Electrical company, re-
ceived serious injuries which may
cause his death.
Mr.. Day was driving his runabout,
westbound, down. the slight grade at
that point, the street being wet and
slippery from yesterdays rains. Those
who witnessed the collision say that
he was driving along beside a west
bound car and started to cross the
street Immediately behind it, intend
ing to turn down Second avenue east
when he struck the front end of the
eastbound car.
His head struck the windshield OF
his machine and then the street car,
when he was thrown violently for
ward by the impact. The hood OF
the machine was telescoped back
against the dash, the engine reduced
to junk and the seat broken off and
tipped forward by the shock. The
force of the collision turned the cal
completely around and threw it on
to the westbound track.
A hurry call was sent for the am
bulance, and the unconscious man
was rushed to st. Mary's hospital as
rapidly as possible. "A great cash

night, carefully packed under the SUI
pervision of Secretary A. P. Ritchie,
and shipped in boxes and barrels the

$4,000 ACRES GO DURING AUGUST
Cass Lake Land Office Does Rush
ing Business Past Month.

Lester Bartlett, register, and b.
B. Wood, receiver, of the United
States land Office at Cass Lake have
just closed their books for the month
of August and it appeared that 277
applications were received from the
22nd Of August, the day of the OPEN
ing Of Chippewa Indian lands, to the
end of the month. Thirty three thou
sand acres of the $4,000 opened to
entry on the 22nd, inst, have been
segregated as result of such appli-
cations.
Of the balance of the land not TAX
en- up at this time the greater por-
ton lies in Koochiching county and
too swampy for practical homestead
ing. However conditions will not
remain in this manner much longer
as Koochiching county has several
immense drainage projects in view at
the present time which, when COM
pleted, will drain all the swamp land
and as a result this swamp land will
be homesteaded with a rush.
The rapidity with which the lands
opened on the 22nd inst have been
entered, illustrates the land hunger
that is constantly growing for the
desirable tracts in Cass and adjoin-
ing counties. The new settlers that
have been brought into the country
as result of this seasons openings
cannot fail to produce increased busi-
ness in all lines of trade. The value
of the lands in this section for dairy
ing and general farming purposes is
becoming generally appreciated, and
a boom in the lands of this vicinity
which bids fair to prove permanent
is confidently expected.
