Frenzied With Liquor, Malt Mc Cormiek Meets Sad and Un timely Death. The following is taken from the Crookston Journal of yesterday: Last night shortly after mid night Matt McCormick. who was confined to a padded cell at the St. Vincent hospital, jumped through a window, badly wound ing his arm and after wandering about for several hoars, met a miserable death under the North ern Pacific bridge. He was con fined to the hospital with an acute ase of alcoholism and becoming wild, was confined to a padded cell on the ground floor. He suc ceeded in climbing up to the little window in the cell which is used for air and light, and break ing the glass, dropped to the ground. In breaking the win dow he badly wounded one of his arms, which bled profusely. He wandered down to the Northern Pacific bridge over the tracks and evidently stopped first and leaned on the railing. Later he crawled down under the bridge, nearly reaching the track where he was found by the police this morning stone dead. The police were notified of his escape at 1 30 o'clock and a search was instituted but was vain until daylight when the offi cers were able to track the man by the trail of blood left behind. The remains were taken to Chest erman's undertaking rooms and will be privately buried unless relatives are found. McCormick worked as foreman of the Wilkin son farm at one time, but little is known of him. GAVE THEM RECEPTION Polk County Honors Senator Stephens and Repre sentative Bennett.

The county commissioners of Clearwater county met today at Bagley to consider the advisa bility of issuing bonds in the sum of $14,500 for the erection of a court house at Bagley. The recent legislature passed a bill which makes it possible for boards of county commissioners in certain cases to do this and it is believed that action to this end will be taken by the commission ers today. Three attempts have been made to have the people vote bonds, each of which has failed, and the advocates of a building declare that the county is in danger of great loss by rea son of keeping the county records in places of insufficient security. GREENBUSH THE TERMINUS Great Northern Will Not Ex tend Its Line From Green bush to Roseau. Notwithstanding newspaper re ports and the positive assurances of Great Northern officials, the road will not be extended from Greenbush to Roseau, says the Roseau Times. A prominent man identified with business in terests in Roseau and a stock holder in the Northern Securi ties Co., was told by Col. Wilkin son that the promised road would not be built. "That is all we want to know," said the gentle man, "we will look elsewhere." There is no use'of longer wait ing declares the Times. Mr. Hill has for the past ten years proclaimed publicly and in pri vate that he would "build no more roads in Minnesota." It is a matter of sentiment and not a matter of business with Mr. Hill and the farmers of Roseau county will have to leave Mr. Hill with his sentiment and no longer "hug the delusive phantom of hope" but act as the exigency demands.

When the spring term of dis trict court opened at Walker, or shortly before, the mayor of Cass Lake, in a printed circular noti tied the saloonkeepers, gamblers, proprietors of disreputable houses and other lawbreakers of that city to observe the state law during the session of the term. The circular, which was pre sented to all those upon whom it was thought that it would affect, was signed by the mayor and attested by the recorder, and stated that orders from the grand jury were to the effect that the state law must- be strictly adhered to during the session. It was secretly served ^upon all those affected.., S LITTLE WORK ^JIsBEING DONE Big Swamp South of Ripple Hard Proposition forjf Railroad Contractors. The big swamp between Ripple and Northome is not proving the money making proposition for the contractors on the M. & I. as it was generally supposed that it would be. The following article from the Big Fork Compass fur nishes quite a little information as to the headway being made. Railroad work on the M. & 1. extension between Ripple and Stoner has not progressed very rapidly the past two weeks,since the swamp began to waken from its winter's sleep. Too much moisture and two little drainage has been the complaint. The men have cold feet as a result of wet feet and have been quiting in droves, deserting many sections. The rains and the melting of snow and frost has filled the ditches along the grades, and the swamp district is so level that it is impossible to quickly carry the water away from the work without the digging of lengthy counter drains. Had grading work begun a month earlier, the worst sections would now be finished. Present conditions are very unfavorable for rapid progress in "fills," and the difficulty in keeping men at vork in the mud adds to the de lay. ANOTHER RAILROAD Line Will Be Built from Duluth to Winnipeg Says Railroad Man. According to the opinion of a man prominent in railroad cir cles at Duluth, a line will be built in the near future from that city to Winnipeg, crossing the M. & I at a point between Northome and Ripple. An interview with the gentleman published in the Du luth Herald states that the reason for building the new road is that the spring shipment of grain from southern Canada to the markets of the United States is seriously hindered because of the lateness of the annual break up of the navigable lakes and rivers. Providing the line is built the shipping of grain from Winni peg to Duluth could commence some two weeks earlier than un der present conditions. It is stated in the interview that work will probably commence in the near future. The name of the company backing the project is not given. WILL START BOAT LINE Direct Communication From Koochiching With Bau dette and Warroad. For the first time direct com munication is to be established between Koochiching and War road. The steamer Knute Nel son, which was built at Warroad late last fall, is to ply between that point and Baudette, at which place it will connect with the Itasca of the Northern Minnesota Navigation company. It is the intention to put on a tri-weekly service. This will prove a saving to the merchants of Koochiching, as heretofore it has always been necessary to send shipments in tended for Warroad over to Fort Frances by ferry and then haye them loaded upon the cars of the Canadian Northern railway. Woman Attempts Suicide. There is sensation at Beltrami, where yesterday, just before dinner, Jessie Regedal swallowed carbolic acid. She is the daugh ter of the landlady of the Belt house, and is 27 years old. The relatives say it was accidental, but it is rumored it was an at tempt at suicide in connection with a love affair. The girl will probably recover. SORENSON. DISCHARGED BS& Buena Vista Justice And ^Postmaster Tried For Is Insanity Today. "t MANY' WitteSES EXAMINED X^^r IN THE CASE. Examination Results in Clearing 'Away all Doubt of His j- Sanity. Soren Sorenson, the Buena Vista postmaster and justice of the peace, was tried for insanity before Probate Judge Clark to day. The trial started at 10 o'clock this morning and lasted until about 3 this afternoon. The result was the discharge of Mr. Sorenson, The examination was conducted by Judge Clark, At torney Scrutchin, Dr. A E. Hen derson and Dr. A Gilmore. About 20 witnesses were exam ined. The arrest of Mr. Sorenson is the result of a quarrel which has been prevalent among the differ ent factions at Buena Vista for several years past. The town ship of Buena Vista is admitted to be one of the most trouble some townships in the whole county, and while the majority of the people of the township are good, law abiding citizens, there are a number of residents who have made it a custom for the past five or six years to stir up trouble at every opportunity. Times in Buena Vista have been strenuous for many moons past, and the double office of postmaster and justice of the peace has been a hard lot for the aged gentleman who today was examined as to his sanity. To meet the strenuous condition^ existing, it has been natural for Mr. Sorenson to use strenuous measures, and, like Jefferson, stretch his power to a certain ex tent. In one instance, it is claim ed, and a witness testified to the fact while on the stand this afternoon that Sor enson at one time arrest ed, tried, convicted, sentenced and committed to the county jail another resident of Buena Vista and appointed a special constable to take the man to Bernidji. Other things tending to show that Mr. Sorenson was unbalanc ed mind were sworn to, but after all the witnesses had been examined this afternoon, Soren son took the stand and told his side of the story, which resulted in his final discharge. While being examined he did not seem to be disturbed at any prospect of being committed to the asylum, and his actions were perfectly rational. He ques tioned several xf the witnesses and seemed to be mentally sound. Tired out, worn out women cannot sleep, eat or work seems as if she would fly to pieces.

MANY FIRES ARE RAGING Woods in Vicinity of Bemidji Being Consumed by Blazes in Forest. DRY SEASON MAKES WORK OF FIRE FIEND EASY. Property Loss is Yet Small But Serious Results Nay Yet Follow. Northern Minnesota, especi ally in the immediate vicinity of Bemidji, is enveloped in a pall of smoke from forest fires. Scores of fires are burning in woods and slashings, and although the losses reported so far are com paratively small, serious results may follow. A blaze which originated about a week ago on the east side of Bemidji lake is still burning briskly, and unless measures are taken to prevent the spread of the flames a wide belt of valu able standing pine will be en dangered. The dry weather which has been prevalent for several weeks past has made the woods as dry as tinder, and after a blaze is once started a small wind will fan the flames until they spread over miles of territory. Chairmen of the boards of sup en isors in townships are desig nated by law as fire wardens, and in many townships through out Beltrami county vigorous measures have been taken to pre vent the spread of the flames, and in some cases their efforts have resulted in success. We have put forth every effort this spring to give our customers the newest, prettiest and best line of Wash Goods that can be bought for the money.
