Serious Charges Against Prominent

storm, which first originated in the
ecclesiastical circle, are charges of al

the Chancellor will be brought before
the proper church tribunal for hear

the different charges and some thirty
specifications. The case is to be
brought before Presiding Elder Sleeth,
Of the Lincoln District, but will doubt

ference and tried before Bishop War

Minnesota Town.
SAUK CENTER, Mimi, July pa great
fire swept this city last evening, doing
damage to the extent of 100000. Tn
fire originated from hot journal in he
third story of the Davidson mill, anu
spread with such rapidity that the town
was soon beside itself With excitement.
Connections were made with the water
works, but they were soon ablaze and
the fremen driven off. Messages were
sent to ST. Cloud and Little Falls. and
those cities responded by starting their
ire departments to the scene. The
great mill in a short time was be-
yond saving. A bucket brigade was
formed and other buildings drenched.
The Davidson mill, which had just
been purchased for $50, 900, is total
loss, as is also the electric light
works across the street. The water
works building was crushed in Just as
the fire WAS tiercest, and the whole city
seem ed doomed. The flames were
creeping into the Northern Pacific de-
pot when the wind suddenly changed
to the north and gave the sweltenng
bucket brigade a chance to check the
flames. At midnight the flames were
under control. The Waterman at the
mill barely escaped with his life, and
the bOok-keeper was struck on the head
by flying timber and severely hurt.

BOISE, Idaho, July 25.-Sandy Nc
Guane, trapper, who has just arrived
from the Duck Valley Indian reserva-

Illustrative of Indian credulity and bar

and prospectors as "Crazy Fish"
She had seven children, the

had been her companion, ran across
gold pocket, and, after he had PANIED
out quantity Of dust, quietly depart
ed. leaving his dusky sweetheart be-
hind. She declared that Baptiste had
been murdered for his gold, and she
walled his loss continually. Finally
fendish Indian medicine man told her
that Baptiste had died and would never
return, but that his gold was con-
tanned in the stomach of one of her
children. Crazy Fish Immediately de-
cided to obtain the precious metal. Sc
curing the sharpened horn of steer
she took her offspring. one at time, in
to dark glade and there disemboweled
them while they yet lived, sitting upon
their heads to stife their cries. After
Crazy Fish had slain her several chill
dren in frenzy of disappointment and
rage she disemboweled herself with

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 25.-That the
stockmen who started campaign
against the ''rustlers" of Northern
Wyoming by killing two men in john
son County, early in April, will
ever have trial now seems extreme
ly doubtful. The prosecution wants to
punish only about five of the forty-three
men, but cannot get at them without
trying the entire party. Preliminary
proceedings have required an outlay of
$23, 900, and it is figured to bring the
case to termination will cost $4,000
more. Johnson County's treasury is
bare and the county's efforts so far to
raise cash havebeen without success.
