A Reward Offered for the Incen-
diaries.
ANOKA, Minn., Aug. "a series of
fires, including a second disastrous lum-
Der blaze within short period, occurred
here this morning. Shortly after II
O'Clock fire was discovered in an unten-
anted house by the street car track,
not far from the depotS. This was ex-
tinguished in short order, and the de-
partment was in the engine house,
spreading out the hose to dry, when
second alarm summoned them to Pages
edging and slab piles in tne northern
part of the city and close to the railroad
tracks.
While working at this blaze fire
caught in the main lumber yard of Page
Bros. containing 100000 feet, 1000 900
of which was destroyed, entailing a
loss OF $4,000, fully insured. The fire
was gotten under control at 4 80 a. m,
An appeal was sent for aid to Minneap-
Oils, but 10 help arrived until the flames
had been checked. There are several
theories advanced as to the cause of the
fire, some claiming they were set by
sparks from passing engine, and some
that it was set. The first lumber fire
might have been set by an engine, but
the last one could not have been, as it is
sixty rods from the railroad track. The
city offers a reward of $1,000 for the ar
rest Of the parties who set the lumber
yard fire. One thousand feet of hose is

OELwEIN, To-, Aug. 9.-It was ru-
mored early this morning that farmer
and family, consisting of seven men,
bers, by the name of Walker. living one
mile south of this city, had all been
fatally poisoned. Mr.. Walker came to
the city last evening and had pre-
Scription filled, containing tartaric acid
and other ingredients, at the drug store
of Webb & Brown. 1t was designed to
be mixed with water and used as a
cooling summer drink. On arriving
home Mr.. Walker Immediately pre-
pared a pitcher of the beverage
and the family at once began par
taking freely of it. Shortly afterward
the children were taken sick, and in
less than an hours time the entire fam
ily were in an unconscious condition.
BY chance, Mrs. Gardner, a near neigh
bor, happened 10 call at the Walker
residence, where she found the family
lying on the floor in an unconscious con-
dition. a messenger was Immediately
dispatched TO the city. who called DR..
Paterson. The doctors arrival at the
house of the poisoned family found
them al in very precarious condition.
At O'Clock this evening they were ly-
Ing at the point of death. No fault can
be attached to the druggist, as the
trouble seems to be from the strength
or quantity of the acid used.
Midnight-The latest news from the
poisoned family is that three of the
children have died and the other mem
bers are at the point OF death.

the following report, dated Aug. 1, to

"Up to the 1st of July 1t was thought
the corn crop would be failure aud en-
