TWO SETS OF FARM BUILDINGS
BURNED
Thursday afternoon the Ansel Stone
house and barn about a mile out of Cor

were totally consumed by fire. Also a
house and barn across the road owned
by Hiar Dane were burned at the same
time. The fire started in the barn of the
Stone house and was discovered about
o'clock It is thought it caught from
a spark from the house. There was in
the barn 35 tons of hay. carriages and
farm tools. From the barn the flames
spread to the house SO rapidly, that little
of the furniture was saved. The loss on
the Stone buildings and their contents is
$1,000 and the insurance $1,000.
All efforts to save the buildings across
the road were futile, although most of
the furniture was gotten out Of the
house. The neighborhood is sparsely set
tied and there were few to fight the fire.

$500.

Minnesota Not Arrested.

Some weeks ago, the Grand Rap
ids. Mimi, Herald, printed story
to the effect that IL man named Alex
ander Phair. of Willow River, had
been attacked by u bull moose and
severely handled. This statement
was followed by the assertion that
Phair had sued the state for dam
ages, in that the moose, az u state
ward, could not be killed, even III
self-defence, and that the state was,
therefore, liable, This idea led the
sporting papers into deep discus
sions of the matter. Shooting and
Fishing, a New York sporting jour
nal, discusses the case eXhAustively
in this weeks issue. At this late
date, the Grand Rapids Herald,
which originated the yarn, prints
the following: thereafter, when
the Herald prints a moose story and
doesn't really mean it, we will add a
foot note explaining that it is n joke.
Two weeks ago, this paper stated
that Andy Phair was threatening
to issue a. warrant for the arrest of
the state Of Minnesota. as a result Of
having been assaulted by q monarch
of the forest. Our contemporary
took it up in all seriousness and

smnsl,er is again in tn" city, having
come in on the west bound passen-
ger train at noon today. She i'm
medintcly after getting off the train
tried to get out of Chief Bailey's
reach whom she recognized. The
chief followed her down town and
put her into the city hall, where she
will be held until the authorities de-
eide what il best to- be done with
her. She claims that she was sent
from Fargo here, via the Great
Northern to st. Cloud and If such is
the ease, Little Falls should follow
the example of other cities and fire
her back at the Dakota town. She
had one of her peculiar fits on the
train Just before it arrived here and
succeeded in smashing one Of tho
coach windows.
This community went to the ex-
pense of sending her to the Fergus
Falls Asylum when she was here
last spring, and they did not keep
her in that institution a day. Just
what the authorities will do in the
matter is not known. but they
should try and find out who sent
her here and send her back to that
place. 1t is strange indeed. that
none of the state institutions of tho
several states over which she has
Travelled for the last six or eight
years do not take charge of her. She
claims a residence at Oshkosh, Wis,
and if she was shipped back there as
often as she strayed away, they
would probably in time take meas
ures to put her permanently out of
the way.

A Ballad of Wheel and Whom.
Lucky the poets who lived of old
In the golden ngc, ere tho ngc OF gold;
For Pegasus now is played out, they say,
And the mount for bard is bike today.
All, many Tyre had snapped string
OF yore II the wheel it had had to sing,
And the hoof beats Of history, noble, sublime,
Would never have echoed through following
time.
How history would scorn, it Is surely clear,
The midnight ride Of Paul Revere,
II that worthy man had ridden down
The stony streets Of the sleeping town
Scorching along on twenty four,
Shouting his warning at every door,
Wondering the while If his tires would last
Until his heroic ride was past!
Where would be Turpin without Black Bessa
Lost in the fog Of forgetfulness.
And Gilpin's ride we had ne'er enjoyed
Had that dashing blade q wheel employed.
Fancy the figure Duval had made,
Clad in Knockers of buff brocade,
Stopping q chaise on Hampstead mead
Astride q nickel plated steed!
The muse historic we'll might weep
II Israel Putnam had made his leap,
Under the fire Of redcoat hounds,
Astride Of racer of seventeen pounds.
Imagine the ride from Client to Ak
Performed on bikes Of the latest makes,
Or q Sheridan twenty miles away
Pumping his tires OF break Of day.
Alas. that the singers listening ear
The clatter Of hoofs no more shall hear,
When the hero gallops his charger brave
On mission of mercy to help or save.
Romantic rides he shall sing no more
For love or duty, in peace or war.
Instead he must weave his song and tell
OF a whirling wheel and jangling bell.
