CHILD suBs|sTs ON GRASS
MISSING FOUR DAYS AND FOUND
BY BLooDHoUNDS.
Baby Girl StarvS0g, But Conscious
Cries for Mother When Found
BY Searchers.

Erskine.-Under an enormous pile
of brush where she had subsisted
tour four, days and nights by eating
grass and dirt, little Beulah Ganthorn,
aged two and half years, the daughs
ter of William Ganthorn, was found,
searchers being led to her by blood
hounds from the St. Cloud, Mimi, re,
formatory, which faithfully tracked
the child along the path taken last
Wednesday, when she dis; AIRED
from the Ganthorn home, eight miles
west of Erskine.
Still conscious, despite the four
days hardship, the little child's APP
peal to searchers who found her was
for her mother.
Il want to go to mamma" cried
the child, piteously, her face and cloth,
ing covered with dirt, and lying almost
helpless on the ground blackened by
her own efforts to. keep alive by eat
ing grass. A space of several feet
square had been blackened in this
manner
Her face and arms were scratched
and sore and her whole body bore evi.
dence of the frightful experience
through which she had just passed.
The baby's escape from death dur.
ing the exposure is declared by physi.
clans to be one of the most remark.
able on record. To reach the place
where she was found she traversed
at least a mile of the thickest kind
of underbrush.
Twice the dogs covered the route
taken by the girl. Saturday after,
noon they led the searchers to a hay
stack but there they lost the scent,
The searchers spent some time there
and set the dogs out again from the
residence where the baby started on
her adventure.
Once again hey led to the same
hay stack and later over two hundred
hay stack and later over 200 Nell
took up the search covering every
borhood of the place where the dogs
stopped. Less than six rods from tho
hay was pile of underbrush, placed
there in clearing land. Into this two
searchers plunged and there they
found the child, entirely concealed
from view. Many of the searchers
had passed within few feet of heI
before but the child was too weak ia
attract attention.
The fact that panther or leopard
had recently escaped from a circus al
Crookston and is supposed to be al
large in the timber in this district led
to the belief that the child had fallen
a prey to the animal, but that fear was
dispelled when the first days search
failed to reveal anything of her.

BYRON COOPERATIVE AFFAIR
Farmers to Have Laundry, Creamery,
and Feed and Grinding Mill as
Has Chatfield.

Rochester.-The success of the CO.
operative creamery and farmers laun-
dry at Chatfield has aroused the in
terest of farmers residing near Byron,
and a movement has been started for
the organization of a similar plant
at that place.
The Byron farmers propose to go
their Chatfield friends one better,
however, and include in the coop
erative plant a feed and grinding mill.
Byron has no creamery, but it is the
center of prosperous dairying COM
munity. 1t has been learned that in
two months over $500 went to the rail-
road and commission houses for cream
shipments, which, it is being argued,
should be divided among the farmers
as we'll as the dividends of a cooper
ative plant.
Those interested in the project are
organizing large auto party to visit
Chatfield and Dover this week for the
purpose of inspecting the cooperative
plants and securing data.

PIONEER GRAIN MAN is DEAD
James Marshall, Former President of
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
and Was Veteran of Indian War.

nneapolis.-James Marshall, form
er president of the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce and survivor of
the battle Of Acton in the Minnesota
Indian uprising of 1862, who came into
the territory of Minnesota in 1855
in an oXcart and was identified
through an active lifetime with the
development of the grain trade of the
northwest, died at 2 a. m. Monday,
after an illness of four months, at his
home at Deephaven. He passed his
seventy-eighth birthday March 4.
The news that Jim Marshall was
dead cast a gloom over the Chamber
OF Commerce, where for many years
he had been a conspicuous figure The
directors decided to close the Wednes-
day session at noon so that members
could attend the funeral. On the ex-
change floor little else was talked Of.
Mr.. Marshall, aside from his prom
inence as a member and officer of the
chamber, and because his life had
covered the entire period of the rise
OF wilderness to great and pros
porous commonwealth, was known
the state over among pioneers.
1t was as the father of the grain
trade that he was more widely known
commercially, for he was identified
with the grain business in days when
there were no railroads, and no places
OF exchange, and when the farmers
brought their grain many miles in OK
carts to the Mississippi river banks,
for transportation to market on the
steamers of early days.
The funeral services were conducted
at the Deephaven home at 1 p. m.
Wednesday.

BOSTON COULD BE TAKEN
It's Rear Not Protected This is True of Most OF
the COuntry's Seaporfs

Boston-Secretary Garrison, in a
prepared statement at Washington,
discusses the preparedness of sea-
board cities to defend themselves
against land attack. He mentioned
Boston, in particular as not being
protected in the rear by Notifications.
Mr.. Garrison emphasized at the outset
of his statement that he had issued
it because of "a recently published ar
ticle RESPECTING the landslide defence
of our coast defences.' Here is the
statement in part:
MY attention has been directed to
q recent article respecting the land
side defence of our coast .defences. 1t
is perfectly true that many of our
seacoast defences would find serious
difficulty in defending themselves by
their own garrisons gainst a Ind at.
tack by a numerous force; and it is
also true that they have been construc-
ted, in many instances, without any
reference to an attack coming from
the land side, but, as was natural in
view of their purpose, almost wholly
with a view to give protection to the
cities and harbors behind them
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1913-05-30

against an attack by a hostile fleet.
This being their principal function,
pretty much everything else was sub.
ordinated to this end and in many
cases Notifications were so placed in
the effort to secure the best field of
fire over seafront and channels as to
render their defence from land attack
extremely difficult 1t can be said->of
many of them, in fact most of them
Except those which are on islands,)
that their defence in case of any ser
ious attack from the land side must
rest upon bodies of mobile troops
assigned to this duty. Such mobile
troops probably would be drawn, to
a great extent, from the militia. The
Coast Artillery troops while availble
for a certain amount of work as In
fantry, are primarily trained for SER
vice with the big guns and cannot well
be assigned to other work without jep-
pardizing the efficiency of the work
for which they are maintained; so
hat, as stated above, in case of land
attack it will be necessary to assign
considerable bodies of mobile troops
to defend these works"
