GRAND FORKS, N D., Feb 1-(Spe-
cia1.)-Two of the Oldest citizens of Grand
Forks met death yesterday morning In
the fire that destroyed the Kelly & Gil.
lam saloon. w. d. Kelly, one of the pro-
prietors, and T. J. McAdam were mis- ed
last night, and their charred bodies found
this morning. The two men left Dan
Sullivan's saloon about 4:20 yesterday
morning to go home, and were never
again seen alive. 1t is supposed that in
passing kelly's place they had smelled es-
Gaping gas, and had gone into the base
ment by an outer stairway to investigate.
The theory is that on entering they hal
lit a match, which caused the explc son
that occurred about o'clock, badly shak-
ing the building, and setting it on fire
The building and stock were an utter
ruin. Loss, about 81, 600; insured. The alb
sence of the two men was not noticed I'M
til evening, and then sea! CHI was begun
for them, resulting in the discovery of
the two charred bodies in the basement
about 2 o'clock this morning. The bodies
were locked in each others arms, indi-
eating that one had attempted to carry
the other out.
Kelly was thirty eight years old, and
unmarried HIS mother and sister live in
Grand Forks, and other friends at Hud-
son, Wis, where the body will be shi j.
ped tonight. McAdam was forty-eight

ployes of the Northwestern Telephone
company entered Voegeli Bros drug
store at the corner of Washington avenue

he would agree to refuse the use of the
telephone to all persons except those
who presented the Identification cards
provided by the company, they would
remove his telephone, and told him that
they would give him until this morning
to decide what he would do. 1t is under
stood that they viii be permitted to re-
move the instrument today.

complied with.

SIOUX CITY, Feb. la profound SEN
sation was created in Sioux City this
morning from the fact that Oscar A.
Goodrich, a prominent contractor and
Mason, has been arrested on the charge
that he IS the murderer of John Robson,
who met his death in a foul manner the
night of Dec 49, in his Office in this city.
Goodrich arrived in Sioux City at
o'clock this morning from Saltwater,
Mimi, where he has been finishing one
of Robson's contracts. The sheriff went
to the sleeper and placed his man under
arrest. He vas at once taken to the
county jail, where he was locked up
Goodrich, up to two years ago, was the
senior partner of the firm of Goodrich &
Robson, the Junior member of which Is
the murdered man. They have done rail-
way and bridge work in all parts of the
West, and the fact that Goodrich is ac-
cused now of the murder of his partner
has come like a shock to the community.
Henry Morrison, a private detective,
swore to the information and declares he
has sufficient evidence to secure a con-
viction. Just what this is he refuses to
divulge. AZ any rate, several officers
suspected Goodrich, but a woman swore
she was with Goodrich the night of the
murder, at the time it took place.
Goodrich declares his innocence.
1t was IL O'Clock at night that Robson
entered his office, and had no more than
stepped inside when he was struck en-
the head with Ratchet. 1t went two
inches into his skull, and he lay all night
unconscious and in the cold in a pool of
blood. Next morning he was found, but
could not tell who struck him. Two days
later he died. A reward of $1,000 is up
for the arrest and conviction OF the muir
derer.

was an original Democratic doctrine, pro-
