Especial Telegram to the Globe
FARGO, Oak, Nov. pa special TO the
AigHs this evening gives an account Of a fire
at Lisbon in which twenty horses and Sam
uel McGregor, formerly of Neenah, Wis,
were burned to death. The FIRE had made
too much Roadway when discovered to be
extinguished. McGregor was sleeping with
one Wray, who jumped from a window,
seYerly injuring himself, aud re-
manned unconscious for some
time. MeGregor, although awake, must
have been suffocated, as he failed to escape.
The following persons lost horses in the
fire: George d. McGregor ten, valued at
81, 500; JAS II. Gray one, valued at 500;
Rev. S. S. Knott two, valued at $500; Sam
uel McGregor two, valued at $3.50; Andrew
keenan, two, valued at $500; NJ. Hubbitz
two, valued at $500; Fred Bill one, valued
at 500. The loss on the barn
amounts to $4,000, insurance $1,000.
The barn contained fifty tons of
hay, 1000 bushels of oats, two mowers and
a large quantity of harness, ropes, etc.
Gray's loss will be about s., 900. The resi-
dence of John Wood, hear the barn, was also
destroyed. Nearly all its contents were re-
moved. Loss 500, insured for $500. The
origin Of the fire is unknown.

Loss and Insurance.

The building was constructed by John
Wann in 1881, at q cost Of about $50, 900.
1t was built of brick and was four stories
high with a basement. 1t was fully two
thirds insured. Tue loss on the building is
total, with the exception perhaps oil salvage
on the walls which may be reconstructed.
The insurance on the building is $4,000,
Of which $40, 900 is placed by the St.Paul
Fire and Marine agency as follows:
st. Paul Fire and Marine. g, 500
Connecticut, OF Hartford. ................ $500
National, OF Hartford. .......... $1,000. 1900
Besides the above there is an additional
IS, 900 placed in other companies
Mr.. Wann also has an
insurance of $4,000 on
the building adjoining, the one occupied by
Osborne s. Co., formerly occupied by d. L.
Harden burgh and at present vacant. This
building, however, was only slightly dam
aged.
A peculiar incident in connection with the
fire is the fact that the insurance
on the building placed by the
Fire and Marine agency was to have
expired next Tuesday, and the firm had re-
ceived instructions to not place any more
policies in that direction.

Inhuman Treatment.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. GA special dis
patch to the Press from Reading, says: A
representative from the state board of char
titles to-day discovered that Nicholas Seizl, an
insane man seventy-eight years of age, was
confined in small log hut on farm near
Reading, where he has been kept chained
for period of thirty-six years by his nephew,
who lives on the farm. The latter refused
to permit the visitor to see the unfortunate
man. The case will be reported to the state
officials, and the man will probably be re-
moved to an asylum.
