A PerilOus Trip.
knows ii

Minneapolis, September 14.-Kirby
Barnum, who ownes a farm near. the
western border of Great Red Lake
Indian Reservation, in the northern
part OF the state, has just returned
from perilous trip down Thief river,
which skirts that reservation on the
west. The trip was made in a small
passenger steamer that plies between
the Indian agency and Thief River
Falls, distance of 100 miles. Fully
half of the trip was made between
walls of fire. Barnum says the flames
jumped the Thief river and cut a
swath through a dense forest fully
sixty miles wide. The whole country
Is atiame and the steamer was forced
to go three and four miles at a time
and then everybody would get and
stand in the water until the fire and
heat abated somewhat. Several times
the boat was on fire. The water in
the river has been raised to such a
temperture by fire, that its surface is
covered with millions of dead fish.
Bear, deer and other large game were
fleeing from the flames in great CON
fusion. Many small canoe parties of
Indians were encountered making
their way down the stream as best
they could and there has probably
teen loss of life among them. Barn
um says the fire originated in blaze
set by man who tried to get control
of some hay land from the government
but failed and hired two men to fire
it. The flames soon spread to the for
est and have been burning ever since.

day about II a. M, and was the
largest ever held in Terra Alta. A
large number attended from King
wood and other points. lie was a
member Of Alpine Lodge, X. of p.

toe auspices Of the order. There
were about 200 Knights Of Pythias
IN attendance, from Rowlesburp.
Carmel Oakland, Kingwood and
Terra Alta.
The burial took place in the
cemetery this side Of town, after
funeral services which were held at
the house. The deceased was q
very intelligent young man and
very popular wherever known. lie
had been attending tho Baltimore
Dental College and was getting
ready to practice dentistry. 1t IS
said that he was engaged to marry
very estimablo young lady of
Terra Alta, and il seems hard TO be
thus stricken down, with such
bright prospects for a happy and
useful life all before one. The de-
