go Tuesday. He had sent two spoilers
to Grandin to gather evidence agains,
some illegal booze-venders. AS a result
Of their work, a man named Dale was
arrested and brought to Fargo. The
first spotter went on the stand yester-
day afternoon and swore that two bot
ties of beer had been purchased. He
was very positive the beverage pur-
chased was beer. 1t began to look
squally for the alleged blind-pigger.
The other spotter was called, and
testified to the purchase Of two bottles
OF stuff, and was equally as positive as
his associate spotter as to the contents.
He stated it was tonic instead Of beer.
OF course, the case was dismissed, ana
there is now q. spotter out Of a job.
Lindelie openly charged the prisoners

Louisville, Ky, Oct. Is. - The first
days trip. of the Bryan Gobel party
through. Kentucky commenced yester-
day at Cairo, Ill, the first speech Of
the day being made ut Bardwell in
the presence of a good natured and
good sized crowd. The special train
reached the Kentucky town at $50
o'clock. In his opening address Mr..
Bryan demonstrated his purpose to
urge the support Of the Democratic
ticket headed by William Gobel for
governor. He held that the question
of whether or not the next president
of the United States was a Democrat
depended largely whether Kentucky
was Democratic this fall. He held
that it was not a matter of moment
what man headed the ticket, claiming
that any Democrat who stood for the
Chicago platform is better than a Re-
publican. In the presence of the ene-
my it was not a time to air personal
grievances. The real question was
one as to principles between the
parties.

Fargo, N. D.-The supreme court has

made. On the trial, Judge Pollock d.
rected a verdict of acquittal for CraW-
ford on the ground that the elements
of burglary were not embodied in the
act of boring into the building, and the
crime did not constitute fOrcible entry,
as burglary a defined. He held that
Crawford was guilty only of larceny,
and, as the amount in the case was
very small, the offense only constituted
petty larceny, for which Crawford got
thirty days in Jail.
States Attorney Morrill, was so sure
the court was wrong that he took the
unusual procedure of appealing the
case to the supreme court Of the state.

NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION.
Fargo Mans Awful Experience-Fell

Flame

Fargo Mans Awful Experience-Fell
Into a Well Which Was a Mass OF
Flame.
Fargo, N. D.-Supt. Moore, of the
county hospital had q thrilling fight for
life Tuesday. The water at the hos.
pital Is pumped with a small gasoline
engine, which sets in the we'll house on
a practically alright cover, through
which there is a trap door to the plat
form below, on which the pump rests.
MI. Moore went through the trap door
to the second platform to see If the
pump was in good shape. After ex-
aiming it he struck q match to see
how much water was in the well. In
stantly the whole well was a solid
mass Of fame. Moore dropped fifteen
feet into the water, and, by repeatedly
diving, managed to extinguish the fire
on his clothing. He had sufficient pres
ence of mind to keep his mouth shut,
and did not inhale any flames, and, by
keeping his eyelids closed, his sight
was preserved.
When the flames reached the top Of
the well there was 4 terrific explosion.
The heavy roof Of the well house was
blown thirty feet in the air and the
house shattered. Part of the debris
filled the trap door, and it was several
minutes before the hospital attendants
could open the place and rescue Mr..
Moore. He was a sorry spectacle. All
the skin was burned off his face and
hands. His injuries are serious. but he
owes his life to his remarkable pres.
ence of mind.
One peculiar incident was that the
door Of the well house was blown into
thousands Of splinters, some of which
were carried 300 feet, while the panes
In two small windows were not broken.
The explosion was due to an accumu-
lation Of natural gas, which had been
held in the we'll by the tight covers.
