established. a newspaper. After
receiving a common school educa-
ton and graduated from St. John S
college, near St. Cloud. he became
a reporter on the Sank Rapids
Sentinel, at Is years of age. The
following year he became connected
with the Hastings Union, and a
few months later started his own
newspaper in Prescott, Wis. Fol-
lowing an active campaign in the
interest of Horace Greedy, then
candidate for the presidency, he
entered upon unique journalistic
career, in which he founded 81
newspapers throughout the north
west, some of which are still in
existence. In 1908 Mr.. Wood
started the Ely Iron Dynamo in
this city but suspended the publ
cation after the issue of few
copies.
Mr.. Woods life was one of con-
slant venture into new fields. He
was imbujed with the pioneer S
spirit, and the footprints of his
passage may still be found in many
of the cities and towns in the
northern part of Wisconsin, Min
nesota, and the Dakotas. He or
ganized the first editorial associa-
ton in Minnesota, serving a
number of times as its president.
He was instrumental in taking the
first editorial excursion to Duluth,
and was the conductor of a similar
excursion to St. Louis.

Mrs. Julia A. Wood, six daughters,
Mrs. Charles Gosnell, Minneapolis;
the Misses Winifred, Frances,

FATAL MISSTEP
Supt. w. r. st. Clair Meets
Instant Death

The shocking fatal accident at
Section 80 Tuesday evening has
spread pail over the city and left
the many friends and the Section
80 company loses a superintendent
that will not easily be replaced.
George St. Clair who is operating
the Section 80 mine, came up from
Duluth on Tuesda evenings train
for an inspection of the mine. In
company with Supt. w. R. St.
Clair and Capt. Alfred Hotter, he
made a trip underground, the three
coming up on the cage shortly
after II o'clock. The cage was
slowly moving up and when the
first level was reached Supt. St.
Clair suddenly stepped off and fell
down the shaft, distance of about
$40 feet. AS soon as possible the
men again descended and the life
less and badly shattered body was
brought to the surface.
It is presumed that Mr.. St. Clair
was under the impression that the
cage had reached the surface. He
habitually wears glasses and or
this trip had laid them aside anc
his misstep is accounted for in thu
supposition that in the dim light h.
absently stepped from the cage
thinking it had reached the top.

Court Rules Man May
Qualify as Juror in Nc
Namara Case Even
Though he Believes in the
Dynamiting Theory.
BETTER PROGRESS
Is ANTICIPATED
Assistant District Attorney
Said They Are Striking
Their True Gait and Will
be Able to Move Faster
Now.

Los ANGELES, Cal. Oct. 23.-The
legal machinery in the Mcnamara trial
moved with such rapidity today that
at the close of court, the problem
which bothered everybody concerned
since the first day of the trial was
determined, and five talesmen were ex-
cused for various reasons. The half
empty jury box was Immediately filled
up again and but ten men of the orig
inal venire of 125 were left.
Judge Bordwell, in his decision, up
set the cherished contention of the de-
fense when he denied the challenge
of attorneys for the accused against
talesman George W. Mckee, who de-
MED he had a prejudice against the
McNamaras, but admitted he believed
the Times was blown up by dynamite.
The ruling of the court was based up
on the belief of the judge that in
spite of McKee's opinion he would
make a fair and impartial juror.
1t was the contention of the de-
fense that Mckee. under opinions ex
pressed, would not be fair and impair
tial toward Mcnamara. Whether 9TH
er jurors of McKee's frame of mind
will be disqualified depends, the court
pointed out, upon individual instances
and not only any general ruling. The
defense held that inasmuch as it's
contention that the Times was blown
up by gas, a juror ought to hold that
opinion or none at all to be an i'm
partial juror.
Talesmen Z. c. Robinson and A. r.
Mcintosh were excused because of their
assertions that they could not render
a verdict of guilty of murder on cir
cumstantial evidence. W. F. oliver
and p c. Thompson were excused be-
cause they are absolutely opposed to
the death penalty under any circum-
stances. E. c. Hauser, vice president
of a meat packing house, was excused
for bias after he stated his belief that
the Times was blown up by dynamite
was a matter of personal observation.
This case differed from that of Nc
Kee as the latter's opinion was gained
from newspapers, conversation and
common report.
That the belief was founded on per-
sonal inspection was deemed cause for
excusing the talesman. The ruling on
McKee's case is believed to be for
the expedition of the case.
Il think we will strike our gait
soon" said Assistant District Attorney
Horton. Every day sees the proceed
ure more clearly outlined"
Edward Nockels, secretary of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, arrived
here today and called on the McNam-
aras. He had long talk with John
J. and said he brought evidence which
he believed would be of value to the
defense.
