Old Swan Lake
By Joseph Andrews

In regard to the last days of
the city of Old Swan Lake /
wrote to Nels Hanson of Spring e
Valley and received reply of
which the following is part.
Mrs. G.. Johnsons maiden name
was Julia M. Nelson. She was
appointed p. M. at Swan Lake
in 1886 and held it for six years,
until it was discontinued. Childs
kept the last general store for
the two years of 1887 and 49,"
From my own recollections
and Investigations and the many
letters that l have received, |
have come to the following con-
clusions as to the early history
of the schools, churches, lodges,
courts, business houses, etc, dur
ing the ten to twenty years that
Old Swan Lake was upon the
map as a city, village or trading
point.
Last week l went to Parker
ano through the kindness of
Clerk of Courts Hanson obtained
the following item from the re-
cords. The first term of court
was held at Swan Lake in June
1876, with Judge Shannon pre-
siding, Sheriff Snyder and law
yers Flag and Copeland present;
in 1877 and '78 Judge Shannon
presided; in 1879 Judge Kidder
presided, and there were present

Judge Kidder presided; in 1884
he was succeeded by Judge
Smith.
At the County Auditors office

from the county commissioner
records: On July 1, 1872, the

Lake, Bakers Mills and Childs-
town. At Swan Lake precinct

Sherard, d. B. Conway and

Harmon for one year. At reg
ular meeting on Jan 2, 1872,
David Conway was appointed

fall Brookings received 48,
Moody 80, and Armstrong 30

that year. The republicans
were divided and Armstrong, a
democrat, was elected delegate

CASE AGAINST BELLS
NOT YET DROPPED

Kieff, Russia, Oct. 23.-Though
the government was still said to be
considering the advisability of drop
ping the case against Mendel Bells
as hopeless, from the prosecution 8
standpoint, witnesses for the defense
were complaining bitterly today Of
persecution by the local police since
they told their stories in the court
room.
Ex-Chief Krazovsky Of the Kieff
secret police, asked the courts pro-
lection yesterday, saying detectives
had visited his house while he was
testifying and questioned his sick
wife. Today Katherine Diankonoff
gave notice that she had been threat
ened by police official. The woman
was formerly a friend of Vera Che
beryak, said to be the head of a gang
suspected of having killed Andrei
Muschinsky, the boy Bells is accused
of numbering, because it's members
believed he knew something OF their
criminal activities.
Her story on the witness stand was
that she visited the Cheberyak home
soon after the murder, found every
thing in disorder and subsequently
saw a bundle there which Vera told
her contained rags, but which she felt
sure was Andrei's corpse.
To Krazovskys and the Diakonof
woman's pleas for protection the
court stated that 1t lacked authority
to act, but advised that the requests
be sent to the government at st.
Petersburg.

EXPLOSION IMPRISONS
2I7 MEN IN NEW MEXICO

Dawson, N. NJ, Oct. 2S.-With
giant yentilating fans forcing fresh
air into the gas-filled No. Stag Can
yon coal mine as fast as engines will
drive them, rescue parties we're still
WORKING furiously this afternoon to
reach the 247 men believed to be i'm
prisoned In the workings as a result
OF yesterdays explosion.
II was estimated that there we're
2S7 miners at work on the various
levels of Number when the explo-
sion occurred. Five men in the up
per level got out at once. The res
cuers had brought IA more to the
surface BY s o'clock this morning.
Besides the living men, 2S corpses
had been counted.
This afternoon three more surviv-
ors were found To reach the sur
face with them the rescuers would
have had to carry them through sew
eral galleries where the air was heavy
with poison In their weakened state
it was deemed unsafe to expose them
10 II, so they we're wrapped In blan-
kets and fed and cared for by sue
ceeding shifts of rescuers, as they fol-
lowed one another into the mine.
1t was admitted that there seemed
small likelihood of finding any more
survivors, but the rescuers we're TAX
ing no chances. They were deter
mined that every man should be ac-
counted for.
Most of those who still lived we're
horribly burned. The bodies of the
dead were charred beyond recogni-
tion. They were left where they lay
to remain until searchers had salts
fled themselves there were no more
still alive to be saved.
Mine officials said that they were
hopeful the fans would soon clear
the workings of gas. Experts said
they were probably right, but that,
If there was fire in the mine, the
draft would only spread the flames
more rapidly.
Until Is months ago the Number
2 mine was considered one OF the saf-
est in the country, the then superin.
tendent, JOSEPH Smith, insisting on
safety appliances ahead of all else
He was succeeded by a man named
McDermott, himself now imprisoned
in the mine, who, It is said, allowed
much of the safety equipment to fall
into disuse.

the Phelps-Dodge Company, was re-
ported this morning on his way here

HUERTA NOT TO
RESIGN HIS OFFICE

Mexico City. Oct. 23.-Presideni
Huerta will not take the trouble to
resign before running 10 succeed him
self at Sundays election, It was
stated unoficially today. The Mexi-
can constitution prohibits any one
from serving two successive terms as
president, but Huerta was said 10
consider that, by suspending the
chamber of deputies, he suspended
the constitution. II was reported
that II he turned over his ofice TO
anyone else, no matter how seeming
ly loyal TO him, he might have trouble
Washington, Oct 23.-At the same
time that they tacitly admitted dis
pleasure at the British attitude in
Mexico, administration officials denied
today that they were anything but
gratiied at the other big nations
view OF the situation.
Certain newspapers have attempted
to make It appear that the strength
ening OF Germany's naval force In
Mexican waters and the ordering OF
French battleship and cruiser to the
gulf we're slaps at Uncle Sam.
The administration, II was explain
ed, takes a different view. Regarding
President Wilson's determination to
Ignore Huerta, the European powers
formally recognized him. Naturally
the Washington administration did
not ike this
IN admitting, by sending men OF
war to Mexican waters, that the Huer-
Ia regime has proven a failure, Ger
many and France have virtually said
that President Wilson was right and
they we're wrong. 1t has been in
timated, too, that the Berlin and Paris
foreign Offices are considering with
drawal of their recognition of the
Mexican dictator.
How any one can see offense in this
to the United States men close to Pre-
sident Wilson said they did not under
stand.
Englands policy, it was agreed, was
different matter. Not only has the
London foreign office persisted that
II fails to see any reason why 1t should
not have recognized Huerta or for
withdrawing recognition now, but the
activities of It's diplomatic represen-
tatve, Sir Lionel Garden, In Mexico
City continue of such a nature as to
threaten actual embarrassment to the
Washington government.
The members of the diplomatic
corps In Mexico City, It has been we'll
known, were anxious for the United
States to intervene in the Mexican
situation, but, with the exception OF
Sir Lionel who said plainly that he
did not think Americans understood
conditions there, none has so express
ed himself as to imply any interna-
tional difference of opinion concern
ing the wisdom of Washington's non
interference policy.
There were some signs of worry in
administration circles concerning the
meeting of the members of the diplo-
matte corps in Mexico City, scheduled
to be held today, at which it was ex-
pected Sir Lionel would figure prom
inently.
