The chief essential in q refrigerator
Is air spaces or non-conductive packing
to prevent absorption of heat from the
air of the room in which it stands. A
tight box of the required dimensions is
neatly lined with three-inch Georgia
pine matched, a three-inch space being
left between box and lining and filed
with powdered charcoal. The lined
box is then covered with the same
wood, or with ash or maple II one pre-.

and half should be left between the
box and covering. Fig. shows q cross

the packing, and how the ice tank is

this is the best position for the ice, in.

as heated air rises, the tank is held up

terror OF the refrigerator. The top Of
the tank is put between two boards Of
the lining before they are nailed and
firmly fastened. A false bottom pre-.
vents the ice from injuring the zinc,
and permits free drainage. Two or
more shelves are put below the ice re-
ceptacle to hold whatever is to be kept

DENVER, Col, sJuly 3.-[nformatlon
has been received here from Colorado
Springs that Henry Starr and Kid Will
son, two members of the notorious Starr
gang of train and bank robbers, who
have caused the death of dozen men
and terrorized the Indian territory and
Arkansas for months, were arrested
there this morning. The men arrived
at the Spaulding house at late
last night with Mrs. Starr. They
registered as Frank johnson and
John Wilton. of Joplin. Mo. The Off
GERS, learning who the two men were,
were afraid to'apprOach them outright,
and attempted to get the outlaws in
position to SnoOt on sight, but they sep
arated. Henry Starr gong to the coffee
restaurant. The police followed him,
and Marshal Dana caught one arm and
Math Wright another. Detective At
kinson covered him with pair of six
shooters. He gave in without a strug-
gle. but said TO them:
at is good thing you got the drop
on me; or they would have been some
corpseS around here"
The same officers then went to Colo
RADIO City and captured Kid Wilson, an
OLH6l vi LilO gang. he WAS dTillGu Will
a 45-caliber gun, and would have made
a desperate resistance if the officers had
not first got the drop on him. When the
men were brought to Jail an attempt was
made to interview them, but without
success. After the arrest the officers
went down to the Spaulding house and
brought up the woman, who was regis
tered as Mrs. jackson, but who is really
the wife of Starr. She is about eight
cen years old, and rather preDosseSsing.
She said that she was married to Starr
about six months ago, and that her
home is about 200 miles east of
here. A search of the room was made
and under the pillow were found
S1,460 in greenbacks, which had never
been used, and $500 in gold was found
in valise. She also carried a pearl
handled revolver of 3S-caliber. She
was closely questioned, and admitted
that the man who was captured was
Henry Starr, and that the name of the
other one Was Kid Wilson. She said it
was done in self-defense. With the
money which tie men had upon them,
fully $4,000 was recovered. Tuere is a
reward of $500 for their capture.

Recent Troubles of These Con-

DULUTH. July 3.-Recent compliica-

CATION in the Lake Superior and Union
improvement Elevator companies,
which were the owners of a great
part of the stock of the insolv-
ent country systems. The troubles
with the Northern Pacific and Red
River Valley companies were the result
OF Injurious management, and, as this
was controlled by the officers of the
Lake Superior and Union Improvement,
general change was demanded. At
a special meeting of the direct
ors today, Col. c. Nj. Graves,
general manager and president
of the two companies, retired and was
succeeded by George G. Spencer. of Du-
luth. George 3. Cocksey,o of New York,
was elected vice president and made a
director. The newly elected secretary
is A. X. MacFarlane, president of the
American Exchange bank, and the
treasurer Luther Mendenhall. presi-
dent of the First National bank. The
bankers in the new list represented the
Eastern and Canadian banks that are
creditors of the country elevator. The
officers arc the same for both cOmpa-
MES. 1t is not unlikely that this action
will be followed by general reOrgan
lZatiOn, in which the interests of all
four companies will be united.
