EXPLODING GASOLINE
KILLS MINE lNplANs

BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. 15.-(special.)
BY. the explosion of a thirty-gallon
tank of gasoline, which was found in the
Missouri river by "a Sioux Indian, named
No Heart, two families of Sioux Indians
at the Cannon Ball station of the Stand
ing Rock Agency were blown into eter-
nifty and the bodies of seven of them
cremated in the resulting flames. Two
children out of nine persons who were
in the house at the time of the explo-
sion were rescued alive, but will die
from their injuries. The gasoline was
in a tank and was part of the supply of
a gasoline boat that plies up and down
the Missouri river past the agency. 1t
is supposed the tank was lost from the
boat and f1oated in the water until it
was frozen in the ice, when the river
closed. No Heart, an Indian, who lives
at Cannon Ball, found the tank and
took it home with him. He thought it
was kerosene oil and the find was rich
one for the Indians. Black Cloud, an
Indian, who lives near No Heart heard
of the find and came to No Hearts house

The Reading, for instance, instead of
shipping large squant1lies OF anthracite

with other companies, would condne it
self purely to its own territory which
embraced the country reached by its own

of the secret service, received a telegram
today announcing the arrest, in San
Francisco of William Benton Fritch and
Emmett Benton Fritch, father and son,
on charge of counterfeiting. The story
of their detection and arrest is out of

a workman, high up on the new post
Office building at San Francisco noticed
two men at work in a back room in a
building some distance away. Occasion
ally one of the men came to the window
and intently looked at Ian object in his

and came to the conclusion that the, men
were oounterfeiters, and reportel the
facts to Mr.. George Hazen, of the Vest
ern division OF the secret Service. Mr..
Hazen procured a field glass, and, on
Wednesday, went up on top of the p1st-
office building, where he watched the
operations of the two men. Ills observa-
tions confirmed the conclusions of the
workman, and with a search warrant he
went to the place and found the two
men engaged in filing $40 gold PAGES.
The men were arrested and Sc 200 in coin

Months for Drunkenness.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 15.-Inquiry at
the war department discloses the fact
that a record is on file there in the case
of Linas Skinner Connecticut volunteer,
who is reported in the news dispatches
to have been sentenced to death in the
Philippines for sleeping on his post His
record shows thai the charge upon which
Skinner was tried was drunkenness on
duty and leaving. his post. He was con-
victed by, court martial and sentenced
to imprisonment for six months. The
reviewing authorities reduced this period
to four months, and it is assumed here
that Skinner is now serving his sentence.
Unless he has committed another offense,
a report of which has not yet reached
the department (Which is scarcely prob
able in view of the fact that he should
now be serving period of .imprison-
ment, it is not possible that he should
have been sentenced to death on the
charge alleged. In fact, the records Of
the department show that up to date no
American soldier has. during the recent
campaign, or, indeed, throughout .tha
Spanish war, been sentenced to death
for sleeping on post. There is. zbut one
case involving the death penalty pending
