Which wag damaged by tire regent!*?', be immediatelyrepaired.
The jurors stated that the jail
is in as good condition as could
be expected under the circumstances.
The report was made over the
signature of Joseph Hoin, fore,
man, and J. Q, Hendrickson

attempt m t(ie part gf _ WiUiagi
hjuudberg, a prisoner gharged
with white slave traffic operations, to effect his escape. Since
he was bound over, Lundberg
has been held in the county jail
instead of being transferred to
Duluth, where he rightfully belongs, as he is a federal prisoner.
During his incarnation Lundberg has attempted tQ secure
acid and a hack saw from little
boys pacing the jail aijd at*
tempted to bribe one of Sheriff
Armstrong's younger sons to
liberate him and place the blame
upon the jailer.
The tire discovered this morning had apparently been in progress for several hours and had
gutted the beams under the
steel floor of fhe first floor corridor, Had a slight draft existed
under the Hoor, the entire destruction of the building would
have been a matter of but a
short time.

evening the sheriff detected
Lundberg in an attempt to tamper with the corridor lock.
Ttje alarm was given by a
woman prisoner on the second
floor when the smoke reached

Deputy United States Marshal Buckman has telephoned
for instructions and expects to
take the man to Duluth at once.

upon his return was accompa-

RICHARDSON A
GOOD COUNTRY.
H. C. Smith of Richardson was
a pleasant caller at the Journal
office Monday. Mr. Smith lives
about four miles east of Mike
Adkins' place. In talking about
the prospects of his neighbor
hood he said : "I wish more
settlers would come into our
country. The land is easy to
clear and break. During my two
years' residence there, I cleared
and broke 36 acres. I left some
of the heaviest stumps, because
it is too much work to get them
cut. The state ought to furnish
dynamite to clear the land of
those large stumps. Otnly poor
people settle in such a country
and they have no money for
dynamite. The soil is a light
yellow clay and very few stones.
I expect to thresh 75 bushels of
oats to the acre. This land can
yet be bought for 12 to 15 dollars per acre. Good hard roads
and only ten miles to market."

To Escape Hayfever.
Mrs. P. J. Herold of Cresco,
Iowa, is here visiting- the Mich.
Herold family. Mrs. Herold
came here to escape her annual
attack of hay fever, which, she
says, come regularly on or within 24 hours of the 14th day of
August. Some of her neighbors
with a marked predisposition to
this disease go to Superior or
Duluth, which, claims Mrs. Herold, shortens the duration of the
attacks to not more than three
days.
Erskine, Sept, 7th.—Under
a pile of brush, where she
had subsisted for four days
and nights by eating grass
and dirt, little Beulah Canz-
horn. the two and one half
year old daughter of Win.
Granzhorn, was found Sunday
afternoon, searchers being led
to her by bloodhounds from
St. Cloud reformatory, which
traced the path taken by the
child, when she disappeared
from the Granzhorn home,
eight miles west of Erskine.
Still conscious despite the
four days' hardships. Her
face was a mass of scratches,
her little arm sore and her
whole body bearing evidence
of the frightful experience
through which she has been,
the baby's escape from deatli
during the long exposure, is
declared by physicians to be
one of the most remarkable
on record.—Pioneer-Press.

burg, last Sunday evening, his
eight year old daughter Mary,
