The two days ' ra in we had, although cold, has improved the grain and grass wonderfully, and with a little sunshine sandwiched in we can look for a fair crop. This is of vital im­portance to the farmer, who is the backbone, muscle and brawn of the country.

There is a great scarcity of hay all over the northern part of the state and men have traveled all day and then only secured half a ton, although less stock has been wintered than for ten years.

County Commissioners . The board of commissioners of Mille

Lacs county met in special session on -Friday morning for the purpose of hearing the report of the engineer and viewers on ditch No. 4 and making decision thereon. This ditch com­mences in sectioon 12, town of Milo, and runs in a general southeasterly direction to section 22 in Bogus Brook township, where it empties into the Rum river. The main ditch, with its ten branches extends over a dis­tance of nearly thirteen miles.

Herman Meyers of Isle was granted license to sell intoxicating liquors.

The petition on the Silver lake ditch was laid over until the next meeting of the board.

The commissioners appointed John Dalchow a committee of one to inves­tigate the condition of ditch No. 2, which extends from the north of Princeton township to the south of Bogus Brook township. This ditch is said to be gradually filling up with sand.

Commissioners Libby and Uglem were appointed a committee to inves­tigate the case of Algot Rundquist, a county charge now at the Northwest­ern hospital, and decide as to its disposition.

The salary of Robert Clark, court house janitor, was fixed at $35 per month the year 'round.

Application was made by the Thompson Cattle company of Page for abatement of personal property taxes for the year 1906. The request was refused.

A number of bills were disposed of and the board adjourned to July 8.

H a n s L u n d D e a d .

Hans Lund, a former well known resident of this county, was found dead in a swamp near McGregor in Aitkin county a couple of weeks ago. It appears that he had been to Mc­Gregor on Thursday evening and left for his home, about two miles distant. The following Sunday his dead body was found in a swamp close by town. It is supposed that he lost his way, wandered into the swamp and tramped around until he became exhausted when he laid down never to rise again.

Hans Lund was a native of Norway. He served in the Union army during the war of the rebellion. He came to Princeton early in the seventies and built the house at present occupied by Mrs. George Roos. Later he moved to Foreston where he resided with his family for many years. Just when he left Foreston and located in Aitkin county the writer cannot say. Mr. Lund was a surveyor by profession and was at one time county surveyor of Mille Lacs county. He was an ec­centric individual and had never fully recovered from injuries he sustained in the army.

A W o u l d - b e su i c ide

On the 22nd inst. Dr. Cooney was summoned to Spencer Brook to see a young man named l)d. Johnson, who it was claimed had swallowed two-thirds of an ounce of carbolic acid. The doctor did not let any grass grow under his horses' feet in making the eight miles between Princeton and Mr. Andrew Baxter's residence, where he found the would-be suicide who did not seem to be suffering greatly. The doctor, however, immediately admin­istered antidotes in allopathic doses and Johnson thought his time had come. Dr. Cooney is of the opinion that the fellow did not take any poi­son, although the vial which he emp­tied was labeled carbolic acid and had contained some of the deadly stuff. Johnson imagined he was in love with Miss Baxter but she would have none of him hence his fake attempt at tak­ing his own life.

Dr. C o o n e y G o i n g E a s t .

Dr. H. C. Cooney leaves for At­lantic City, N. J. , on Saturday to at­tend the annual meeting of the Ameri­can Medical association. Nrom there he intends to go to Boston and spend a month or six weeks in the medical and surgical school of Harvard uni­versity. Dr. Cooney ranks high in his profession and is recognized as one of the ablest and most successful surgeons in the state, but he is a con­stant student—ever on the alert to add to his knowledge of medicine and sur­gery.
