: a lad II years OF age, son Of Chaa.
Gaking, of Buckman, lost his life Satur-
day afternoon while attempting to get q
team of horses out Of a burning barn.
Mr.. Gakiug is working q rented farm.
On Saturday morning, with his two
sons he went to the farm with two
teams. At noon he took q team and
went with his youngest son to get some
hay a mile away, there being none on
the rented place, where the older son was
left, and the other team put into an old
barn there.
While getting the hay, they noticed a
fire at the rented place. Mr.. Gaking un-
hitched a horse, rode there rapidly, and
found his son lyiug on his face, dead,
near the ruins Of the barn, in which were
the bodies of the horses. The boys
clothing was still burning Two neigh
bors were called anl moved the boys

body and put out the fire In his clothing,
az the father could not bear to do it, ~ {.
This story was. confirmed by" the
younger son, and by a boy, who from, q
defiance, saw the Gakiug lad running
around the barn with clothes on fire.
Coroner Trace, Assistant Coroner L:
b. Brown, Sheriff Rider and County At
torney Lvon, visited the place. The cor
oner decided by inquest was necessary.
1t is thought the boy tried to save the
horses. The origin OF the fire is uncer-
tain, but it is believed the barn caught
from a grassy piece Of ground lying be-
tween it and the creek, not far away,
and probably accidentally set by boys
who had been fishing. .
It is said that the N. P. track from
this tic Anoka will be ballasted with
Darling gravel, That will mean

Will Have Base. Ball.

There was a good attendance ct
the meeting at the city hall Thurs
day evening last week, to discuss
base ball prospects this year. .-5+ $$ .,%
F, F. Cawley was made chairman
and Henry Guerin secretary OF the
meeting. Chas. Sylvester said that
before the team could be organized,
it would be necessary to see what
could be done toward securing en-
closed grounds. In other years a
few had voluntarily paid the expens-
es for games which we're witnessed
by all: :.
Ways and means OF securing funds
fol building fence and stand were
discussed, and different methods
suggested. Mr.. Cawley's suggestion,
that season tickets to the games, at
SO, be sold. was adopted. 1t was
figured that $3.50 to $500 would be
necessary. :.
It was thought best to have an
organization outside of the team to
look after financial affairs, and Mr..
Cawley was made president, Mr..
Guerin secretary and Mr.. Emder
treasurer.
The president was authorized to
|appoint a soliciting committee, and
Mr.. Sylvester was appointed to look
after securing players.
The soliciting committee. with Mr..
Cawley, was Geo. Emder, c. E. Vas
ally and DR.. Nero. In canvassing
the committee found an almost
unanimous sentiment in favor oI
baseball and had gratifying success
At a meeting Tuesday night tht
