Northern Pacific Receivers
May Reach an Amicable \
Agreement.
Matters So Shaping Them
selves That Harmony Is
Assured.
Early Meeting Of the Federal
Judges Interested Now
Predicted.

ST. PAUL, Oct. II. While there is lit
tie that is tangible to report in the mat
ter of the Northern Pac. 1ic receivership,
matters are so shaping themselves that
keen railroad and business men can lock
ahead and see the final adjustment of
the difficulty which has been the chief
topic in railroad circles the past month.
The assertion Of Receiver Burleigh
some days ago that he would strain ev-
cry point to work in harmony with the
other receivers, and his acts since then
have left no doubt as to the possibility
of harmonious agreement between the
different gentlemen appointed by the
federal courts. Burleigh's appointment
of G. w. Dickinson as general manager
of the Western portion Of the road in
stead of an outside man, the latter's
accepting the general officers Of the
entire line as officers for his section of
the road would bear out the reported
statement that harmony was most fer
vently hoped for. III n
It is said the possible extension of the
jurisdiction of Messrs McHenry and
Bigelow by the New York court will
still further insure unity, 50 that all
things considered it is not thought un-
likely that before many days the courts
will get together and take definite &C
ton looking to the preservation Of the
road as an entity.

I'm EXCITING TIME.
Hon. e. b. Buchanan Has Z
Lively Experience at :
Farm Fire.

i Hon. &. Il. Buchanan ha0 rAIner
lively time during the fire at his
farm SATURDAY, evening. The first
fire was discovered just after I
o'clock in the evening, ana 1t was IN
the upper par: Of the sheep shed that
was most distant from the other
farm buildings. The fire had made
snch progress when it WAS dis
covered that there was no chance to
save the. building or the grain stacks
fight was made to save the stacks
That were a few feet away nom
those near this sheep shed. While
the men Mere Keeping the fire from
spreading another fire was dis
covered in the smaller horse barn,
which was separated from the burn
| ing sheep shed hy nnothcr sheep
shed aud several stacks Of grain.
1t was almost impossible for that
fire to have started FROM the first.
The second tire was in the hay. ana
It at once s,rent: to mil parts al the
barn. This fire also extended to
many more stacks and to the second
sheep shed. Tins smaller barn was
between the sheep sheds and the
large barn. and some of the stacks
that were burned were very near to
the latter. -,.
There was Il large crew ct men at
work GU the faruI. and soon after
he fire started it wars seer for miles
In Il thickly settled country, and
before long ut least 200 men he'd
gathered at the scene. twas nearly
midnight before the flames had
been reduced SO there was not APP
pnrently any danger af the large
barn burning. The men were
still working to reduce the
flames in the stacks aud sheds as
much az possible. when Il fire was
discovered in the big barn. 1t had
been started In a barrel that stood
in the Interior Of the barn. near Il
partition. Men were near with pals
of woter and it was extinguishet.
Mr.. Buchanan thought the matter
had become rather nionOtonOus by
this time, and he ordered every per-
son out oi the barn, and then
formed Il guard around it and his
other property. and warned none to
approach ii. In SO large a crowd OF
people it was impossible to know
them all, aud it was evident that to
allow everybody to roam through
all the buildings was uns:'fe. When
the wAtchmen were on guard the
rest of the night the fires stopped.
While fire plays queer pranks some
times. those around Mr. Buckmnn's
buildings that night were 80 sus-
picious that he made every effort to
find the cause in each instance, but
was unable to do so.
1t was natural thai in the excite
lnent, when men were rushing about
from light to dark places, many of
them .begrimed with smoke and
ashes, some OnlOOkers would claim
to see strange people in the crowd.
Some OF those present had remark
able yarns to tell about seeing un-
known people proving about, but
the conditions would encourage u
little exaggeration.
Mr.. Buchanan has nearly 1000
sheep. bu: he will sell nearly half the
flock Gas he does every falD and
winter the rest. He will at once re.
build the sheep sheds. Not half OF
his grain was burned. The insur-
ance on the grain will not nearly
cover the loss, but the buildings
were fairly we'll protected from loss.
