TANNED BY THE WIND.
Flames Threaten to Repeat Sundays
Work at Fond du Lac.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Sept. 27.-[Special]
A gale from the west that nearly
equaled that of Sunday, developed late
yesterday afternoon, tanning into fierce
flames the smouldering embers of last
Sundays fire, causing property owners
on Scott street no little alarm, for they
have been fearful ever since Tuesday
that the wind would change to the north
and cause a further confagration. The
flames in the burned district rose to a
great height yesterday afternoon and
sparks were carried to the pest-house,
setting that old building and the Furnace
company's barns on fire. At o'clock the
mayor issued an order asking all the
mills in the city to close until the wind
went down. At o'clock several box
cars on the Chicago & North-We stern
were on fire, and the fire was spreading
rapidly toward the east At 6 o'clock
last evening the fremen had stopped the
spreading of the fire, but it was found
that the water at the waterworks had
become quite low, and if the fire con-
tinues to burn much longer it is feared
that the supply of water in the water
works tank will be exhausted.
Police Officer Arnold Of Milwaukee,
who is spending his vacation in this city,

HAS A BEAR FARM.
Black River Falls Man Who Enioys
Hunting Wild Animals.

Black River Falls, Wis.,, Sept. 90
Especial. lin the dense forest north of
City Point, small station on the Green
Bay, Winona & st. Paul railroad, lives
a strange specimen of humanity by the
name of Frand Dart. "Old Frank" as
he is generally known, is a typical from
tier character, who shuns the society
of his fellow men, spending his time
devising ways and means of catching
bear which abound III the surrounding
forests. Various are his ways of trap
ping bruin and then placing him in an
iron cage which is loaded on a travoy
and with aid of horse is drawn to the
camp and placed in a large pen built of
logs among many more of his family.
"Old Frank" is known to have had ten
huge specimens of the black bear in his
pens at a single time, paying no more at
tention to them than a farmer would to
so many hogs. The revenue derived
from his dangerous occupation nets him
handsome return as the bears are sold
TO the various shows, many of them
being sent to the Eastern states and
cities. The old man says he expects to.
end his days in a bear fight as he is
now near 70 years old and has had
many narrow escapes in his hazardous
work
