count Of $1,000 paid Mr.. Mcnamara on
November g. 1890, and not the $1,000, the
receipt for which they claim 10 hold is
given?' asked Mr.. BeTgStrOm.
IF the book had not been destroyed il
should show all advances" answered Mr.
! Goakum.
The Norton business was then taken ur
and explained again by Mr.. YOakum and
court adjourned until this morning.
MORNING SESSION.
This morning Mr.. Yoakum was again
on the stand and made cross examination
| by Mr.. BergStrOm, which lasted all the
! forenoon when court adjourned, until
2:30 O'Clock when his testimony is to be
resumed.
Mr.. Yoakum'S testimony was, con-
| denSed, as follows:
| | don't think | was a member Of the
| executive committee during the election
| in 1890. | went with them several times.
| took part with them; was generally
advised as to what was going on, | did
| not know what the assessments,
| were for all of the candidates, | knew
| about Judge Kings because he told me-
That is heard about the 81, 800 assess
ment, but he told me that he paid 5000
after the election was over. HGSaid that
you, Mr.. Bergstrom, had called upon him
for the money. You did not tell me that
each Of the leading candidates had been
assessed $l12. | don't remember ever
being at meeting when assessments
were made for. This money, (S3 $50, was
loaned to the company for pay car pur-
poses by Mr.. J.. j. Stevens, and placed
before the master. | never spoke to Mr..
Stevens about compromising this claim.
cannot say he asked me about it:
the offer to him was made by Mr.. Lott
and Mr.. Houston. | had nothing TO do
with the setting OF the reorganization
committee claims. The Wolfson claim
was made through Mr.. Nicholson and
He quit giving us business on account of
that claim"
Several other claims were brought in
question which were successfully and
satisfactory explained.
With reference to to the Niles affidavit,
Mr. Yoakum said: II don't think Niles
was in the employ OF the company when
that affidavit was made. Mr.. Raegen
Houston wrote the. affidavit. l did rot
know anything about it, until after
everything was done. The purpose Mr..
Houston had for doing it, was that Niles
knew some things, and he wanted them
on record. He was not promised a posi-
ton on the road if he made the affidavit.
When | first saw that receipt 1 was with
you at Brady'S. You showed me the re-
ceipt and told you it was q forgery. !
told you that could not state positively
as to the signature under the electric
light: that the ~ was little too
straight. / thought I asked you what
you thought about 10 and you said you
thought IT was doubtful"
Mr.. Yoakum here said that he had
stated to Mr. BergStrom that he wanted
his attorney to see the receipt. But
BergStrOm did not want Houston to seeit.
Mr.. YOakum described some very racy
business. He said that BergStrOm wanted
him to 90 before PaSchal and make false
statement to the effect that he had made
an oversight. Some testimony was taken
about where the 5000 came in, and court
adjourned.

The smallest IS the best
SopYRIoHT 1891

The smallest IS the best
in pills, other things being equal.
But, with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets, nothing else as equal. They're
the best, not only because they're
the smallest, and the easiest to take
but because they do more good.
They cleanse and regulate the liver,
stomach and bowels in a way the
huge, old fashioned pill doesn't
dream of. Think of trying to regu-
late the system with the ordinary pill.
It's only good for upsetting it.
These are mild and gentle-but
thorough and effective, no pain-no
gripping. One little pellet for laxa-
tive three for cathartic. The
best Liver Pill known. Sick Head
ache, Bilious Headache, Constipa-
ton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks
and all arrangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels are prevented,
relieved and cured.
Put up in sealed vials-a perfect
vest-pocket remedy, always conven-
lent, fresh and reliable.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. It's a plan peculiar to DR..
Pierce's medicines.
You pay only for the good you
get. Can you as, more?

crumbling walls adding to the terror of the
situation.
Shortly before o'clock the various de-
partments of the gas works exploded in
quick succession with deafening reverbera-
lions. This loss alone represents Sl,000,-
900, which was the cost of the recently
erected plant. All the Northwestern freight
buildings and cars along the tracks are
totally destroyed. Several squads of militia
have been called out TO protect valuable
freight from robbing marauders All the
DOuthern section of Milwaukee Is in ruins.
The dreadful conhagration was still in
progress at 9p. m. Never in the history of
the city has such calamity befallen it.
Acres of land, embracing the great manu-
featuring districts of the city, have been
devastated and now lie mass of smould-
sring ruins. Almost the entire southern
division from East Water street to the lake
1as been consumed.
Frenzied Horses Loose in the Streets.
During the course of the fire a number of
barns and large livery stables were burned.
These were filled with horses, which were
liberated by the police The horses ran
wildly about the streets and before they
could be caught number of persons were
run down and badly injured. The wires of
the electric street railways are down and
the telephone companys system is pros
trated. The electric light service is para
lyzed and the gas works have been de-
stroyed. Work in the newspaper offices
and telegraph offices was being done by
candle light.
Fatal Casualties Reported.
At the morgue three bodies-two brave
6remen and an elderly lady-are stretched
cold and charred in death. At the Emer-
gency hospital four other victims of the
ire are Frustrated, two of whom are not
expected to survive. These four are men.
Another very seriously injured person has
been removed to ST. Mary's. In the in
tensely exciting state Of affairs it is impos-
sible to get any names, and the dead dy-

Terribly Rapid Spread of the Flames

The fire broke out near the corner of
East Water and Detroit streets at about
$3.50 o'clock and the alarm was Immediately
sent in, but owing to the terrible high
Winds which swept easterly toward the
lake. the buildings in this vicinity were
speedily consumed and the fire spread with
bewildering rapidity. Flying cinders
dashed and sped on through the night
air like mammoth pyroteehnic display
Scattering in their flight they landed upon
the roofs of the large manufacturing estab-
lishments, the pride of the city, and in a
few minutes building after building was
Quilted and huge walls cracked and tot
tered to the ground

The firemen exhausted their efforts and
battled manfully, but it was impossible to
get the mastery of the fire fiend which
rode on with the violent wind almost di-
rectly east, tapping up block after block
In such an alarming situation all effort
of the fire department was almost futile
kilograms were quickly dispatched to Chi
cago, Racine and nearer cities for aid all

fire engines and men TO assist in the dire
calamity. Chief Foley kept the fire con-
fined to one block on East Water street
until o'clock, when it got away from him
and leaped across the street and began a
rapid march toward Lake Michigan, six
blocks away, cutting down in short order
dozens of buildings.

Poultry Roasted Alive.

This did no good, as the wind suddenly
shifted from the northwest to almost direct
north and in moment the cars which had
just escaped the flames in one place were
burned in another 1t was in these yards
that some of the most pitiful sights were
seen. In one place half n dozen poultry
cars full of ducks and chickens were roasted
alive. AS soon as the destruction of the
railroad yards was assured the wind, as
though prompted 10y malice, veered from
north to west. Had it remained in the
north the fire would have exhausted Itself in
the lake.
