FOUND A MASTODON.
The Remains of a Gigantic Animal Found by a Farmer Near Bismarck.
BISMARCK, Dak. – A marvelous, astounding, almost improbable discovery has just been brought to light by a farmer near the city named. In digging a well on his farm, J. J. Lamb found the petrified remains of a huge animal at a depth of thirty-six feet. In attempting to unearth the petrification it broke into several pieces but by putting together the fragments, which proved to be a gigantic tusk, it measured 13 feet, 7 inches in length. Judging from the immense size of the tusk and forearm, the animal must have been over thirty-five feet in length – much larger than the petrified mastodon now in the museum at St. Petersburg, Russia, which was found north of the mouth of the Lima river, in Siberia, several years ago. Men are diligently searching for other parts of this wonderfully large beast.

ENTERTAINED “My Lud.”
Messrs. Dinham and Hannibal
Did the Honors.
“Lord Dundreary,” the so-called English lord with gilt whiskers and an Irish accent, who wound up his career here by being arraigned in the municipal court on a charge of drunkenness and leaving town under a suspended sentence, had a pretty good time until he fell into the hands of the police. And it was largely at the expense of the genial Tom Dinham and the hospitable Thomas Hannibal. Emulating the example of George W. Childs, these gentlemen tried to make it pleasant for the titled foreigner who had come to these shores to look us over. The noble lord made his home at Mr. Hannibal’s house for several days, and while his host was otherwise engaged, the alleged scion of gentility, was by Mr. Dinham, toted around and introduced to his admiring friends, many of whom were dazzled by the glory of Dundreary’s whiskers and poured out libations in honor of this representative of feudal institutions. The representative of feudal institutions developed a great appetite for the libations and absorbed al that came his way, rewarding those who basked in the glory of his presence with patronizing patrician smiles that warmed the cockles of their hearts. But the dream is over, the gilt is rubbed off and the idol is seen to be brass. Arrangements to visit “one of the most historic places in England” during the coming summer have been cancelled.

STEAMER FRANK PEAVEY GOES ASHORE IN DENSE FOG NEAR
GOOSEBERY
Reported to be Hard on the Beach and Pounding Considerably.
Crew and Party of Chicago Passengers in No Danger – Tug is Sent.
The steamer Frank H. Peavey of the Provident Steamship company is ashore near Gooseberry river on the north shore.
The vessel went on the beach some time during the night, in the heavy northeaster that was raging on the lake. She was seen by the captain of the barge Naysmyth, which arrived in port this morning. He reported the condition of the vessel to the local offices of the Provident Steamship company, and the tug Edna G. was sent from Two Harbors this morning to the rescue of the stranded steamer. Little or nothing can be learned of the vessel’s condition until the tug returns this afternoon. The Peavey may be a complete wreck or she may simply have her nose resting on the beach and only a few plates broken.

The Frank H. Peavey is a comparatively new vessel of the conventional lake type, and 5,002 gross tons. She is 420 feet in length, 50 feet in beam and 29 feet in depth. She was constructed in 1901 at Lorain, Ohio, and is owned by the Provident Steamship company.
Last night was what is known as a “dirty” night on the lake. The wind came up suddenly and about 10 o’clock it began to assume the proportions of a gale. The night was black as ink, and there was a tremendous sea rolling in before morning.
The Peavey went on the rocks sometime after midnight, during the heavy fog that hung over the lake at that time. Nobody on the steamer was injured.
The place where the boat went ashore is close to where the Lafayette was wrecked and the Manila beached last November.

Edward Regelsberger Found
Dead in Park
Duluth Laundry Executive Is Taken From Chester Park Creek After Girl
Sees Him Topple Into Water.
Edward Regelsberger, 71, 125 Garden street, president and treasurer of the Peerless-Lutes Laundry Co., a resident here many years and widely known in business and social circles, was dead when removed from the Tenth street pool of Chester Park Creek about 9:05 a.m. today, into which he had either fallen or walked, according to authorities.

Mr. Regelsberger had been ailing and had left his home for a walk in the park. Children playing nearby reported to their parents they had seen a man fall from the pathway above the pool, down the steep, long bank to the water’s edge.
A girl passing on the path told police she saw Mr. Regelsberger sitting on a rock at the pool’s edge, apparently become faint and fall into the water. She ran screaming for help. Thomas Ostlund, route 2, box 164-A, told authorities he saw the man walking along the creek edge for some distance as though he was injured, and called to ask him if he needed aid. The victim did not answer.

Mr. Regelsberger had a deep head wound and one had was badly injured as though from a fall among the jagged rocks. Mr. Ostlund called police, and patrolmen Charles Roach and Ray Johnston pulled the body from the four-foot deep pool. They and the fire department first aid squad administered artificial respiration in vain.

An autopsy is to be held later today to determine the cause of death.
Mr. Regelsberger had been active in business here for many years.
Surviving are his wife, a daughter, Dorothea, Duluth; a sister, Mrs. E, Paxton, Encinitas, Calif., and a brother, Louis Primeville, Ore.

TWO INJURED IN PLANE CRASH
Narrowly escaping drowning when their Cub plane crashed into Lake Amnicon at 2:10 p.m. yesterday, a pair of 20-year-old Superiorities, former U.S. army air corps cadets, were in St. Mary’s hospital today with possible skull fractures and lacerations.
They are
Ronald Germstad, 2020 Banks avenue
Edward Adamson, 3218 Hughitt avenue
Hospital attendants reported their condition was “good” and said that X-rays would be taken to determine full extent of their injuries.
The two airmen went down with the plane after it had stalled in a dip over the lake, about 18 miles south of Superior. The craft submerged about 150 feet from Pleasant point.
Three 16-year-old Superior Boy Scouts, Robert Rime, Daniel Simenson and George Benson, raced to the scene of the crash with a canoe and brought the two fliers ashore. The Scouts had been vacationing at Fidelity Boy Scout Camp.
Adamson, from his hospital bed, explained that he and his companion forced their way out of the plane’s cockpit after it submerged. He said the plane fell at a rate of about 80 miles an hour.
“The water was over my head in a couple of seconds,’ he recalled. “I started to fumble with my safety belt and somehow took it off and got out the dor. When I grabbed onto the wing, I saw that Germstad had gotten out before me. He must have opened the door.”
The plane had been rented from Superior Aero Service. It was registered under Charles Willets, 2307 Ogden avenue, according to Frank Missine of the Douglas county highway patrol, who investigated the accident.
Scouts and tourists raised the battered plane and towed it to shore.
