out for help, and she agonized for him

Down came the great wall Of fire and
smoke. The hot air scorched the faces
Of the fire fighters. Dim figures out on
the advance line were seen desperately
struggling with the element. The town
was enveloped in smoke and burned
out ashes Of prairie grass that sifted
over. the workers until the faces and
hands Of all were black and grimy.
Scores of men rushed upon the fire line
as it came on, checked some by the
short grass. and stamped out the
flame with their feet, with rags, with
old brooms, with pieces Of carpeting
and bedding torn from their own
houses. The outstanding line of fight.

her out toward the fire. Her dress had
caught on fire and been put out several
times. Some one had thrown waite,
over her, but she had hardly known it.
She worked with all the others in a ST.

her, looming up through the smoke,
thrashing at the fire with powerful en-

and stubborn refusal to surrender.

she was, she felt new life at the sight
Of him.

THE coNGRESS0NlL SITUATION

THE CONGRESSIONAL SiTGATiOA
There promises to be lively
times in this congressional dis
trict during the next few
months. Congressman Sheldon
is a candidate for election, and
he expects to secure the renomi
nation without being compelled
TO put up much of a fight for it,.
There has been much talk OF
Cad Smiths entering the field
but he denies the truth Of the re
port; so Marquette county's
delegation will be fought for as
Of yore. Mr.. Smith is Congress
man Shelden's good friend in
Marquette county, and will
probably be found building a
few fences thereaway for the
Houghton candidate. Word
comes from Delta county that.
Frank d. Mead Of Escanaba, has
decided to 30 after the nomina
ton. Delta. Menominee and
Schoolcraft counties are counted
for Mr.. Mead Movements are
said TO be under way in Dickin

Congressman Sheldon and Mr.
Mead will not be the only candi
dates whose names Will be pre- /
scented TO the convention. If he I
will permit il, Gogebic county |
will ask tile convention TO nomi

There are fifteen counties in the
district and it is safe TO say
that others will be heard from
before convention time If Con

is to be opposed News Record.

who died in New Providence, n. j., thirty
years ago, to the S13.G90.000 estate of
James Tyson, who died in Melbourne in
1885,
Ever since James Tyson's death, his at

the lawyers finally reached the conclu-
sion that John Tyson, who died thirty
years ago, was the older brother of the
man whose millions were seeking a law

FRIENDS OF PRISONER
NAY PREVENT HANGING

Butte. Mont, March 2S.-Reports
from Helena and Glendive indicate
there may be serious trouble Friday
over the execution at Glendive of Jo-
eeph Hurst, under sentence OF death
for the murder Of Dominick Cava-
naugh. Hurst and Cavanaugh were
opposing candidates for sheriff Of Daw-
son county at the fall election of 1898.
Cavanaugh was a Democrat, Hurst a
Republican. Cavanaugh won. Some
weeks later he was found dead in an
alley at Glendlve, with his skull
crushed in. The commissioners Of
Dawson appointed Hurst TO the Vacan-
cy. Later he was arrested for the muir
der and convicted.
The evidence against him was alto
gether circumStauJial and based large
ly on the outcome of the election. On
appeal, the supreme court could find no
error IN the legal proceedings, but
commented severely on the testimony.

THE ToBYs AT WAR.
They Create Excitement on Penn
Avenue Last Night.

The lower portion of Penn avenue
was awakened from that drowsy feel
ing just before midnight last night,
by the piercing screams of murder in
the voice of woman that mingled
with the excited voice of man in the
manner of a Bach fugue, as the couple
gesticulated in front of Toby's store
near the corner of Spruce street.
The woman proved to be Mrs. Toby,
and the man gave his name as James
Mahon, and residence Bunker Hill.
Mrs. Toby stopped screaming after an
audience had assembled, and stated
that her husband. while under the in
nuence of campaign vinegar, or some-
thing of the sort, had laid violent
hands upon her and had tried to mix
her up with the millinery goods in the
store.
Mahon. in passing, had been attract
ed by cries for help, and had rushed in
and rescued the woman. Yes, I'm a
witness" yelled Mahon, as Mrs, Toby
paused for breath. II smashed the
door and pulled her out"
The crowd gave evidence of approv-
al, but none ventured into the en-
trenchments of Mr.. Toby, who lurked
in darkness behind the spring bonnets
in the store until the arrival of officers
Duggan. Peters and Boland.
They advanced within the door that
had been smashed by the man from
Bunker Hill and surrounded Toby. AZ
ter brief parley the flag of truce
appears to have been respected. as
quiet was restored and no arrests
were made.

EIGHT NEW HORSES.
Select Council Authorizes the Pur-
chase of That Number for the
Fire Department.

That the fire department is seriously
crippled was shown last night in select
council when letter was read from
C. NJ Sitterly, the departments veter-
marian. Council Immediately showed
itself alive to the needs of the situa
tion by voting a purchase of eight
horses at once.
This letter was inclosed with a COM
munication from Chief Walker, in
which the latter stated that he had
asked DR.. Sitterly for an opinion on
partment had been rendering lately. In
| his letter the doctor stated that there
We're at present eight horses in the de-
partment not fit for service, except as
extras.
Two of these belong to the Eagles.
two to the Crystals, two to the Frank
lins, one to the Nay Augs, and one to
the Neptunes. All of these horses. the
doctor says. are between Is and 26
years old, and each and every one is
either wind-broken, spawned or af-
/ flicted with the blind staggers.
Mr.. Finn offered a resolution permit
| ting the joint fire department commit
| tee to purchase eight horses for the
| department pending the passage of an
ordinance appropriating funds for the
purpose. This was passed. despite the
that price should be fixed Mr.. Finn
said in reply that $1,000 would prob
| ably cover it all.
