Five Persons Fatally Burned in Wa
dena County.


A special from Wadena to The Press
furnishes the following particulars Of
kerosene explosion which occurred on
Sunday morning last in the house of one
Colson, who lived at Parker's Prairie'
twenty five miles south of Wadena:
On Saturday night the family consist
ing of the father and mother and three
children retired, but left kerosene lamp
burning in the room because member
ofthc family was sick. At O'Clock Sun
day morning while the five were sleeping
the lamp exploded, scattering the burn.
ing oil everywhere, and firing the bed
and all portions of the room simultane-
ously. With their clothing on fire the
family burst through a window near the
bed, cgress at the door being impossible
because of the fire, and when they 1T last
got outside of the building, all were hor
ribiy burned. Entirely naked and suffer
ing from their burns the unfortunate fam
lily were compelled to move mile across
the prairie before reaching the nearest
ncighbor, and Willie on the way one Of
the children died from its injuries by the
fire. The track followed by the family,
was marked the entire distance with blood
from their bare feet, and by particles CT
burned flesh which dropped from their
bodies. Soon after arriving at the neigh
boris house, a second child and the father
died, and it is rot expected that the re-
naming two, tho mother and a son, can
long survive.

Clusters next Expedition.

bismarck, D. T., Letter. March ~.
Telegraphic instructions were received
to-day by General Custer, at Fort Line DIN,
authorizing the formation of another ex-
petition to the Black Hills, of which the
details are not further known than that
General Custer goes in command, and
that it is to be composed Of the Seventh
cavalry and due proportion of infantry,
with perhaps battery of Calling guns.
It will move from Fort Lincoln as soon
as the weather will permit; but owing to
the heavy fall of snow it is believed the
depth of the streams to be crossed will
prevent an early departure. 1t is proba'
bic that to the forces moving from Fort
Lincoln there will be joined detachments
from other points, and that this entire
force will not halt at the Black Hills, but
leaving small force there, will proceed
westward and explore the Big Horn
Mountains and the country lying west of
the Yellowstone River.
