A small number OF Storage passen'

and were held back by the crew and
other passengers.
The Titanic turned her nose for the
bottom when the last life boat was less
than 100 yards away, reared her stern
high IN the air and trembled for
moment before seeking the bottom.
There we're two explosions when the
inrushlng waters reached her boilers.

REWARD FOR SLAYER.
Governor Eberhart VIII Pay $500 for
Capture Of Swaziland.

st. Paul-Governor Eberhart offered
reward of $500 for the capture of
Charles Swaziland, who killed Avid
Vistrom on May 13 near the end of
Upper Red lake in Beltrami county.
Swaziland is supposed to be in the
woods north of Red lake making his
way toward the boundary. He is
armed and appears to be demented,
and the sheriff of Beltrami county has
had trouble getting any one to assist
him in hunting the man down.
A. B. HaZen, the sheriff, has gone
to Baudette to head Swaziland off and
asked the governor to offer the reward
so that he could induce some one to
help him capture the murderer. Swan
land is armed with 30-30 Winchester
and a revolver, and Sheriff Hazen
looks for trouble when he is brought
to bay.
The description of Swaziland which
has been sent out by the sheriff says
that he is about 81 years old, five feet
ten inches in height, and weighs about
$50 pounds. He is light complexioned,
has light mustacne and blue eyes,
He was dressed in rough woodsman's s
clothes and carried a packsack with
provisions.

CREDIT BUREAU SUED
InsoIvent Range Merchant Alleges Dis.
elimination in Settlement.

Virginia. - The Duluth Jobbers'
Credit bureau, n. S. Marshall, secre-
tary and manager, and w. B. Cross,
treasurer, issued in the district court
by ID. G. Brose of the Brose Mercan-
tile company of Hibbing for $4,000
damages
The plaintiff, being insolvent, exc
cuted a trust deed to the defendants
who managed the business and closed
it out. 1t was represented, the pain
tiff says, that all creditors had CIV
en- their signatures, authorizing the
bureau to handle the affairs of the
insolvent house. Now it is claimed
creditors of Duluth were taken care Of
and others were not. The complaint
states that defendants closed out the
business realizing $4,000, and that
now creditors not included on the bu>
reau list are making demands on D..
G. Brose personally.
Brose seeks to have the trust deed
declared void and the defendant en-
Joined from paying the creditors any
thing until an accounting has been
made. The case will be heard at the
Hibbing term of the court.

TROUT LOST IN FLOOD
Fishing in Winona County, However,
Is Probably Affected Little.

Winona.-Fear has been expressed
since the floods of Sunday that the
trout streams of Winona county may
have been depleted; that the great
rush of waters might have carried the
trout into the river.
President d. E. Vance of the Winona
County Fishermen's association is op-
timistic. While he admits that un-
doubtedly the streams have suffered
some loss of the smallest Of the fry,
he is of the opinion that practically
all of the trout of any size were able
to stay in the streams.
For three seasons up to this week
there have been no serious freshets in
Winona county, and millions of trout
fry that have been planted have had
opportunity to grow to good size.
These, President Vance believes, are
still all in the streams here. The
members of the Fishermen's associa-
tion are congratulating themselves
that big shipment of trout fry ex-
pected here in few days had not
been planted before the storm of Sun
day. 1t is believed that when planted
they will be secure from further dis
astrous foods this year s.
The trout fishing in Winona county
this spring has been better than in
numbers of years.
