berger, the Cando murderer, was landed
in Fargo Jail at o'clock Yesterday
morning. He is haggard and worn
with constant travelling and loss of
sleep Sheriff Fadden, of Grand
Forks, brought him here, fearing
lynehing Bomberger acknowl-
edges that the published accounts
of the murder of the Krieder
family are correct, and the only thing
that seems to worry him is the grief of
his mother, who is on her way from
Pennsylvania to see him, and by whom
he has not been seen for five years. He
will probably stay here few days, and
if Judge Morgan orders special term
of court to try him he will be taken
back to Cando
1t is now generally believed that the
people of that vicinity will submit to
the law if he is given a prompt trial
and sentence The Cando delegation,
which went to Grand Forks and which
was supposed to be bent on lynching,
really meant to demand that the pris
Oner be returned to Towner county,
where the crime was committed, and
given prompt tria!.

Death at the Picnic,

CHICAGO, July 17.-By the premature
explosion of a fireworks bomb at II
o'clock last night at an Italian picnic
four people were killed and a number
of Others injured.
The bomb was fired from an extern
ported mortar, and was intended to b.
exploded high in the air, the explosion
to be accompanied by a shower of bril-.
liant fire. Just as the charge was
about to be fired, there was a deafen
ing roar and the liquid fire
and burning explosives, together
with the pieces of the mortar
containing the bomb were hurled in
every direction. Hundreds of persons
were standing about the spot and the
flash and the report were followed by
the cries of those stricken to the earth
No lights were at first to be had and
the dead and wounded lay together be-
meath the feet of those who were able
to escape. Many fell bleeding ani
bruised and before they could be cared
for all the lights on the grounds vera
eXtinguished and increased darkness
added to the panic.
The fire and fragments of the mortar
seemed to pillow their way through the
dense crowd to the outmost circle of
Onlookers. In a moment the picnic
grounds were the scene of unlimited
confusion. The merry making had
been in progress all evening and at the
approach of darkness those present
concentrated near the spot from which
the display was to emanate Some pre-
caution had been taken to keep order
among the onlookers, and an effort was
started to keep all save those in charge
removed from the stand where the un-
exploded fireworks were stacked up.
This was partly successful, and those
killed and injured were chiefly persons
in charge of the display.

A Woman Who Made Ii a Business of Poi

New YORK. July 14-Police Inspector
Mclaughlin has learned from Detroit,
Mich, of the arrest there of DR.. Henry
7. w. Myer and his wife, who are want
ed here as well as in other large cities
in the United States for poisoning PEG.
pie that they might get insurance
money on their victims lives. So far
there is only one case against the pris-
oners here, but it is a strong one, and
for that reason a strong effort will be
made to bring Myer and his wife to this
city for trial.
After a long search the detectives
found that Mrs. Baum was in reality
the wife of DR.. Henry Myer, who was
also known under the alias of Henry
Reuter-, and Hugo Mayler. The woman,
the detectives say, made a business of
getting married, persuading her hus-
band to insure his life, and then accom-
plishing his death by poison. During
the investigation DR.. Myer and his wife
left the city, but they were finally To-
Gated in Detroit, Mich. 1t is said she
has piled her murderous trade in that
city and that no less than five deaths
are laid to her door. The police feel
sure that further search in this city
will show even greater number of
her victims.

Railroad Wreck.

NEwBURG, n. Y, July 14-West Shore
express No. l, due here at 1904 p. m,
was wrecked in the West Shore freight
yards yesterday. The train consisted
of locomotive, baggage and express
car, smoker, two day coaches and
parlOr car. The engineer was Daniel
Shelb and the conductor Richard An
derson. The train was a few minutes
late at Cornwall, four miles south of
here, and was running very fast. When
it reached the switch, which connects
the main road with the West Shore
freight yard, mile south of the station,
the engine picked up, it is supposed, a
loose object, which caused it to Jump up
Ona frog and leave the track. Itran upon
the ties, distance equal to the length
of the train and then crashed into a
freight train standing in the yard. The
crash was terrific. The freight train
was being made up to start south and
was waiting for the express to pass.
The freight engine was in charge of
Fred Holland. The express engine was
evidently further off the track than
the remainder of the train and when
it struck the freight engine it was
thrown to one side and the tender torn
from it.
The first coach was filed with pas
sengers, every seat being occupied.
Nearly all the casualties occurred in
this car. 1t swayed to one side and
struck the projecting end of a box-car
standing on a side-track. The entire
side Of the coach was ripped off and the
end nearest the smoker was smashed.
All the killed were on that side.
Four women and child were found
dead in the wreck. About twenty per-
sons were seriously injured.
There were about dozen persons in
the smoking car and they nearly all
escaped injury.

NIT that Sunday opening had proved a
failure, but the dwindling attendance
and the opposition of many exhibitors
who were unwilling to meet the extra
expense entailed by seven days fair,
have forced the conclusion upon the
local managers of the exposition that
nothing was to be gained by Sunday
fair
The working people who are unable
to attend of week days have not taken
kindly to Sunday fair with motionless
machinery and covered exhibits. While
the art palace and the plaisance have
been well patronized on Sunday, the
other features of the exposition have
offered but slight attraction to visitors.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE outward APP
pearance of the fair yesterday did not
differ from that of last Sunday, save in
the emblems of mourning on the engine
houses and the flags at half mast.
Nearly all the displays made by foreign
exhibitors in manufacturers building
were draped, while many American ex-
hibits were closed. The building was
visited by many people during the day,
however, but most of them spent
their time sitting upon chairs in
the long avenues running through
the building and viewing the white
canvases which shut out the coveted
sights within. Other buildings had
their usual Sunday crowds, the great
est number of visitors thronging the
art palace, the Krupp gun exhibit and
the convent. The plaisance, which al
ways holds the Sunday crowds, was
a busy place all day and impressed
upon the concessionaires more firmly
than ever the idea that their part of
the fair should be kept open. Music
was furnished during the afternoon
and evening by the Chicago, Cincinnati
and Iowa State bands, this feature of
the Heroes" day being much enjoyed
and appreciated by moderately-sized
crowds
The paid admissions were 40, 4O1. 1t
is estimated that the amount contrib
uted to the relief fund by concession
aires from the receipts will amount to
$4,000, which, added to the proceeds
from ticket sales, will swell the fund
by about $4,000.
