NO SMALL Pox AT BRA1NERD.
The Grand Forks Doctor Had Rash, But
it Is Declared to Be Not
Small Pox.

The Brainerd smallpox scare
proved to be only a scare. The Dis
patch says: DR.. Campbell, formerly a
of the Sanitarium, but for
several years located at Grand Forks,
was visiting at the Sanitarium when
he was taken i'll last Sunday, and a
rash looking very much like small
pox developed. A car was placed
on the side track at the Sanitarium,
and the doctor was .quarantined
Immediately, the hospital was thor
oughly disinfected, and every pre-
caution taken to prevent the spead
of the disease, A further examine
tion by most Of the physicians Of the
city was made, and they all agreed
that it was not the small pox, but
in order to be safe DR.. Bracken, of
the state board of health, was tele-
graphed for, but did not arrive un-
til yesterday, and he agreed that it
was II otsmall pox, and thedoctor was
released from quarantine. It was
decided that the rash was produced
by a form OF blood poisoning, the
Infection being, received through a
wound on his finger. The doctor
will go to St. Paul for treatment. "

"A Destructive Blaze This Afternoon That
Started From Burning Rubbish
+; M !: Pale 4 4 u n w I5;s /;

An alarm of fire was turned In at
2::3O this Afternoon from the Second
ward. The fire was at the residence
OF Henry Bentfeld on Sixth street,
opposite & the old freight depot.
When the department arrived the
roof wasa)l ablaze.. The hose was
attached 70 the nearest hydrant,
the one located near the Catholic
parsonage, and the 1000 feet on the
two hose carts was insufficient
to reach the burning building.
More hose was sent for and in the
meantime the fire was kept down
some by the two chemicals. Chem
ical company No, l was rendered
unfit for service by the bursting ofits
hose. When additional hose did ar
rive it burst, causing another delay,
but finally the siamese was put on
and two streams from the hose soon
got the fire under control. ~">>%' (
: The house, however; is badly de-
molished, almost a total loss. The
roof is practically all gone and one
of the chimneys fell. Several: fremen
had narrow escapes when the
chimney fell. 49,: :: !"
The fire is supposed to have origin
ated from a pile Of rubbish that was
burning about fifty feet south OF the
building. The high wind is thought
to have carried sparks from the rub
bish pile to the roof. -, !.

LONDON, December 30.-Last nights
cable dispatches from South Africa add
little or nothing to the information
concerning the situation, though the
general trend of events seems TO show
that the British are regaining the
ground recently lost. A special from
Naauwpoort, dated December 28th. re-
ports that Col. De Lisle defeated Hert-
zog eighteen miles west of De Aar,
capturing a number Of wagons and re-
leasing the prisoners captured at Phil
lipstown.
Lieutenant General Grenfell forced
back Kritzinger towards Venterstad.
Both commanders are in a desperate
plight, and will probably never recross
the Orange river.
A Standerton dispatch, dated Deem
Der 28th, says it is estimated that two
thousand Beers we're engaged in the
operations in North Natal, hoping to
break the British line OF communica-
ton. This plan failed, and the Beers
were driven off in each case with
more or less loss, their casualties in
the past day or two numbering fifty,
while the British calualties were slight
According to a johannesburg dis
patch of Fridays date, Gen French
occupied Ventersdorp that day with
out opposition. This place being a
great Geographic center, has been
much used by the Beers for the dis
semination of information. The pos
session of Ventersdorp, Richtenburg
and Zeerust gives the British a strong
hold upon this part Of the country.
From Carnarvon, under yesterdays
date, comes a dispatch saying that the
Beers occupied Vos5urg December 9th
in force and were reported to be NOV
ing on Carnarvon, where martial law
has been proclaimed. The loyal field
comets and farmers have assured the
authorities that they will remain loyal
and will suppress disloyal talk.

fourth floors of the old Field building

The fire apparently originated in the
