Northwest At ST. Paul.

erfest, indicate that this years gather
ing will be the most successful in the
history of the Saenger-Bund.

THREE HURT IN WRECK
Minneapolis & st. Louis Passenger
Coaches DeraiIed.

Minneapolis. - Minneapolis and
st. Louis passenger train from Des
Moines was wrecked at point three
and one-half miles south of Water
vile, Mimi. Three passengers whose
names could not be learned were in
jured. The engines and first three
cars left the track. A special train
left Minneapolis to bring the passen-
gers here.
Details regarding the accident are
meager. At the dispatcher's Office OF
the Minneapolis and st. Louis road, 1t
was reported that the tender of the
engine was the first equipment to
leave the rails. This was followed by
the mail car, baggage car and smoker.
Occupants of the smoker were the ones
reported injured.
The accident took place while the
train was crossing short bridge and
it is said that it will take two or three
days to repair the structure for traf-
fic. The majority of the passengers
on the wrecked train were bound for
the Twin Cities and many anxious
faces were at the depot until after
midnight awaiting reports of names of
the injured passengers. 1t is said that
the mail clerks and train crew escaped
without injury.

streets. tits being carried to the out
skirts OF the city where the danger
from fire will be less. All material
that can be used for the repair of
buildings or in any way to relieve the
distress will be carefully salvaged.
The busiest place in the hall, how
ever, was the police department where
permits were being issued to pass the
line of special constables that have
drawn circle about the storm area.
Everyone is compelled to get. a per-
NIT before being allowed to visit his
ruins. This to great extent cuts off
vandalism, while it infiicts no hard
ships on the sufferers.
In no part of the city is the dam
age to property more extensive than
in the splendid group of public build
ings surrounding Victoria park. These
buildings, erected at a cost of over
million dollars, and models of archi-
lecture not surpassed in the West, are
all damaged, the majority beyond re-
pair. The building inspector when
seen, expressed the opinion that of
all these splendid buildings, only the
Baptist church and the Land Titles
building could be repaired. The other
buildings, the Metropolitan Church,
the Y. w. C. A., the Public Library,
Knox, Presbyterian Episcopal and the
Y. M. G. A. will all have to be rebuilt.

yard at Waubun. village about nine
miles north of Ogema, on the 500 line
with a stiff north breeze blowing. 1t
soon famed the flames into a most
destructive conflagration and in a
short time threatened destruction of
the entire village with only a bucket
brigade, composed of villagers, to fight
the fire.
The fire spread and in a short time
huge lumber piles and buildings,
which were dry as finder, were in a
mass of roaring flames. The flames
spread to the residence and the bust
ness portion of village, destroying the
residence of ]. Williams, and restaur-
ant and residence of w. M. Turk, Levi
Lajooe's pool hall, and several barns.

A slight shift of the wind occurred.
Help arrived from White Earth. The
estimated loss is $350,000. p. Lucha[
lepel, while assisting in fighting the
fire, was caught under flying timbers
and suffered broken foot and bad
bruises.
1t is thought the fire originated from
a planning mill which was in operation
at the time.

ARMY TO PREVENT FLAMES
STATE FORESTER TAKES NO
CHANCES WITH FOREST FIRES.
Experienced Rangers to the Number Of
$50 Watch Every Section
e Warnings Sent.

Minneapolis. = With an army of
$50 men at his back and the right
to hire as many more if the occasion
demands, w. T. Cox, state forester. is
now directing fight against fire in the
northern woods that is calling for
every ounce of energy at the COM
mand of his department He says
he is going to win.
For two weeks Is rangers in con-
troll of as many forest districts, ex-
tending from the Canadian line south
to Morrison and Betrami counties,
have been on duty night and day and
with the aid of 200 patrolmen have
extinguished many small fires. When
necessary the settlers have been press
ed into service. Fortunately the loss
to date has not been large.
1t is along the Canadian border that
the activities of Mr.. Cox's department
are chiefly centered for. according to
the reports, the woods on the Domin-
ion side are afire and have been burn
ing for days. On the American side
the principal swamp and forest fires
have been in the districts directed
from Bemidji, Northhome, Warroad,
Baudette, International Falls, and Orr
and the rangers stationed there have
had their hands full
In these districts nearly 75 lookout
towers are being maintained, but they
are useless when the wind is blowing
from the Canadian side. The smoke at
times is dense and overpowering. 1t
is then that the departments tele-
phone service is brought into action
with patrolmen reporting from all
points and settlers giving aid when
wanted. The latter are compelled to
help when requested Several, Mr..
Cox says, have been fined for refus-
ing to do so.
Warning sent to the state forester
that burning of slash and brush in
the north woods should be stopped

are under control, but new ones have
started in many places.
c. A. Peterson, ranger at Interna-
tional Falls, in a report written June
25, said that three small fires had been
found and extinguished in that vicin-

wind blowing from the north and it is
so smoky you can't see far, as Canada

WIDOW SUES FOR
MINNESOTA LAND
DETROIT FAMILY WANTS $4,000
ACRES MINERAL AND
TIMBER TRACT.
BIG CONTEST EXPECTED.
More Than $4,000 900 at Stake in Legal
Contest Which Has Been Begun
in st. Louis County
Court.

Duluth.-A vast tract of Northern
Minnesota mineral and timber land,
comprising more than 1890 acres, in
Lake and St. Louis counties, and val
ued at more than $3,000,OO0, is the
stake for which the family of Henry
Stephens, a Detroit millionaire, is play
ing. In district court here two law
suits were started to recover title to
the Minnesota lands of the estate,
which have passed into the hands of
the family of Stephens eldest son,
former administrator, who died two
years ago.
Henry Stephens, ST., died in Detroit
February %, 1886. He was wealthy
man, being rated at about $7,000,000.
Most of his holdings consisted of land
in Minnesota and Michigan, and in
mining properties, stocks and other in
terests. Under his will, Clarinda
Stephens, his widow, was to receive
one-third of his property. The re-
mafnder of the estate was to be divid.
ed between two sons, Henry Stephens,
Jr., and Albert L. Stephens, and one
daughter, Kate McIver. Each of the
children was to receive a two-ninths
share. Henry Stephens, Jr, was ap-
pointed administrator, acting in that
capacity until his death, April II, 1910.
In the suit brought by the widow of
the elder Stephens, she claims that
when she conveyed him deed to a
)ne-third interest in a portion of the
Minnesota lands, she understood that
it was simply to facilitate the handling
If the estate. Mrs. Stephens gave
two deeds, one in August, 1894. At
that time no consideration was given,
she says. In March, 1899, she claims
she conveyed the remainder of her
one-third interest in the property to
her son for consideration of $685.
1888. The second deed was given,
she claimed, following the advice of
her son that she had better dispose of
her Minnesota interests, he represent
ing, as she says, that the land was
practically valueless except for timber
standing on it, and that the whole
tract of land owned by the estate in
Minnesota was not worth more than
100000. She sold her share at this
price.
