Gansl0 Wants Baum berger.

GRAND Forks. n. D.. July l3.-Cando
citizens have held an Indignation meet
ing and demanded the return Of Baum
berger, the murderer. to Tower county.
Private dispatches were sent to and re-
ceived from Cando stating that crowd
with leader would arrive here tonight
when the vengeance OF the law would
be executed without needless delay.
Baumberger is still here. Last even
ing over 300 men were at the depot eX-
pecting the arrival Of a large force of
men from Cando and Devils Lake.
None came. The crowd then proceeded
to the Jail. At one time there was at
least 1000 persons in the yard and on
the street. There was some excitement
and some yelling lynch him." Sheriff
Fadden appeared and remarked that it
would be useless for anyone to attempt
to enter the building. as he was abund-
antly able to protect the prisoner and
property. Hearing the noise and occa-
sional yells. the prisoner became nervous.
His actions are incomprehensive. He
seems devoid Of all humanity.

ANOTHER BODY.
The storage House Victims Now Number
seventeen.

CHICAGO. July Ii. The list of victims
of the Worlds Fair holocaust still in
creases. Yesterday another body
was recovered from the ruins Of the cold
storage building. swelling the death
total to fifteen. with a large area OF the
debris still unexplored. The remains
recovered this afternoon were those of
Ralph \. Drummond. constructing en-
gineer of the cold storage company.
1t appears probable that the families
of the victims of fire will not want for
the necessities Of life. as up othis after
noon sl2.s2J had been subscribed and
subscriptions were coming in rapidly.
1t is hoped the total may swell to $780,
600.
Chicago. July l3.-The day opened
clear and hot. but the scorching rays of
the sun did not suffice to keep people
away from the fair grounds.
Workmen on the ruins of cold storage
warehouse made another ghastly find
this morning. 1t was that of a human
arm. and from a ring on the finger it
was identified as that of Ralph Drum
mond. part of whose remains were taken
out yesterday. The total list Of fatalities
from the fire now number seventeen.
with three or four still uncounted for. 1t
is now believed that the total will not
exceed twenty or twenty-five. although
there is considerable uncertainty as to
the number of strangers in the building
when the fire broke out.
The gate receipts at the fair Sunday
will be donated to the relatives of the
dead firemen. and several city theatres
will also give benefits for them. 50 that a
handsome sum is sure to be netted. Me-

GATH AND HIS PEN NAME.

About everybody in the newspaper
reading world knows Gath" but 1T is
doubtful If more than few people know
the significance of the uom de- e-plume.
Prof. Roth having 10 charge the Catholic
educational exhibit OF Philadelphia at the
Columbian Exposition, has let the cat
out OF the bag. The feline escape was
made few days ago during the time the
congress OF librarians were holding ses-
sions. George Alfred Townsend has a
daughter who is much interested in edu-
catlonal matters and she was here in at
tendance at the meetings, and was, of
course taking in the Fair. Among a lot
Of other people she was one day intro
duced to Prof. Roth.
''Glad 50 know you," said the genial old
lrlshman, heartily. Il am particularly
glad to meet you, as [ know your father
SO well. | have known him for long
time. l am delighted to make the ac-
quaintance of his daughter.
Ia the general talk the question OF how
Mr.. Townsend came to choose the title Of
Gath arose. The daughter being appeal
ed to declared she had no idea how her
father decided upon such nom de plume.
"Why, it is simple enough" exclaimed
Prof. Roth, looking at the journalists
daughter with quiet chuckle.
There Is 'G' you see; that stands for
George Then there is a for Alfred
and the ~ is for Townsend of course
But the H" said the group in a
chorus, as the professor hesitated.
"W .lat is the H for?"
"Why, that represents where he is
going for the lies he has told" said the
professor.

THE SIMPLE MINDED HOOSIER.

I In a conversation touching upon the
proposed reauthorization Of currency
by state banks a Wall street bank
president few days ago told a Her
aid man of a clever swindle made pos
sible by that form of currency many
years ago:
1T was in the worst of the wilde
and 'red-dog' currency days." he re
marked, that simple Indiana trader
arrived in New Orleans with large
load OF wheat. The grain was slowed
in the hold of the barge, flush up to
the deck covering The innocent
Hoosier reached the Crescent City at
an opportune moment Wheat was
in good demand, and prices were high,
and scarcely y had the barge been
moored alongside the levees than d
swarm of commission merchants and
spectators were anxious to relieve the
owner of the cargo. A price per
bushel was proposed and accepted,
but when it came to the terms of the
sale the would-be buyer found him
self confronted with a difficulty upon
which he had not reckoned The
/ honest Indianian first insisted that his
cargo should be measured bushel for
bushel instead OF estimated in bulk,
and then he expressed himself as
afraid Of assorted state bank currency.
My wife said he, told me as how
I'd be swindled on this wheat before l
got back to Indiana. l don't want no
drafts or exchange in payment, and [
don't want no bills on busted banks
I'm sure of Indiana. Their moneys
good. You must pay me in Indiana
bills
1T was q difficult matter for the
buyer to collect sufficient quantity
of bills on Indiana state banks, but
finally, after visiting nearly every
| bank in New Orleans, he secured the
necessary amount. Then he came
to the barge, showed the money to the
Hoosier and set his negroes at work
measuring the cargo of wheat bushel
for bushel.
'The colored men worked slowly
and the buyer chafed under the delay
He appealed to the Indianian to lei
the cargo be estimated in the usual
manner. For time the hoosier pro
tested. and referred to his fear Of
being swindled. Finally with a show
of reluctance, he yielded and accepted
the Indiana money. Almost immedi
ately he disappeared, and the New
Orleans man smiled as he thought Of
his simple minded friend, for he haC
secured the Indiana bills at discount
All this changed, however, the follow
ing day, when the stevedores, wht
were taking the grain from the boat
encountered an obstruction. It prov
ed to be a framework Of slabs. con
structed in the form OF 4 bulkheaC
5 and extending almost from side t,
side and end to end of the barge
The quantity of wheat thereby was re
duced fully hreefourths of the est
mated amount, but the honest, simple
E minded hoosier. who had SO effectuall
: disarmed all suspicion, was far ava
with his Indiana bills"
