AMERICAN SAFES ALONE
STOOD THE FIRE TEST
Consul Henneday Of Paza Brazil Reports TIE Result Of IN

Mr. X. K. KenneGay. United states Con

Department under date Of Feb. ].
Fire recently destroyed the establish
ment Of Frank da Costa d co. in this city.
This firm is one Of the largest exporters
OF rubber and other commodities in the
Amazon Valley. ard there were s3 tons
OF rubber in the building at the time.
OF which IS tons were totally DESTROYED
and Is tons damaged.
The noteworthy feature of the fire was
the fine showing made b. American safes.
There were in the Offices Of the compapv
SIX safes: One English. one German. enc
French, one Portuguese. and two OF Amer
lean manufacture. These were all placed
together in the center Of the second flood.

$4,000. This safe was opened only after
the greatest difficulty. and the money was
found in an almost unacceptable charred
and PUPPY mass. and the. remaining con-
tents were total loss. There is little
hope Of recovering anything Of the money
thus damaged by FIRE and water
When the American safes were opened
their contents were found perfectly in

little. if any, the worse for the ordeal
through which they had passed.
There could not have been a more con-
vincing Illustration OF the superior quail

rise 20 general comment.
Frank da Costa & Co. are about 10 pur-
chase six new safes. and American pro
duceTs Of these articles would do well 10
make bid for the contract. Until this
occurrence, there was a popular impress
sion among business men here that there
was no safe equal TO the English one. and
TINS belief was so firmly established as TO
make competition on the part Of American
manufacturers difficult The incident

Adjudged insane.

A resident of the town of Colfax,
whose name is given as Henry John
son, was examined in probate court
last week as to his sanity, and the re-
suit is that he is now an in mate of the
state hospital at Fergus Falls. Mr..
johnson had been acting very strange
.ly for some time, and although harm
less 1t was thought advisable to re-
move him to the hospital where it is
thought q short treatment will result
in his cure. He was taken to Fergus
Falls in charge of Henry Stenson.
Mr.. Johnson had been ip Belgrade
The Saturday previous to being taken
here, and his strange actions there
resulted in his being taken in charge
for examination. He was under the
delusion, Gays the Belgrade Tribune,
that he had bought several teams,
harnesses and buggies of various
people in town, one outfit of which he
demanded from Arch Chisholm or his
money back. The consideration of
the sale was 5000, which it was claimed
he had paid. Mr.. Chrisholm at once
knew there was something wrong with
the man as he. had no transaction
with him whatever. Arch noticed q
revolver in his pocket and took it
away from him. The weapon con-
tanned a few blank cartridges. Mr..
Romness, who was acquainted with
Mr.. johnson, took him home in the
evening.

Potatoes Going Up.

The Minneapolis Times is authority
for the following:
Potatoes will be considerably higher
In price in the near furture. The rea-
son assigned for the raise is that ex.
cessive wet weather during the fallhas
almost entirely destroyed the crops of
the country. In scme localities there
has been very little or no damage
done, but in most sections the dam
age will be considerable. Indications
are that the tubers will go up to 60
cents per bushel when the time comes
for laying in the winter supply. of
potatoes. While this will be much
cheaper than last years prices, it will
not afford the consolation the people
expected month ago, when it seemed
certain that potatoes would range all
the way from 20 to 80 cents per bushel.
People who were thinking some time
ago OF using potatoes extensively be-.
cause they appeared to be about the
only staple article of food that would
be cheap, will, therefore, be disap-
pointed. Local buyers have secured
an option on a large part of this
years crop. They are evidently an
ticipating higher price soon. There
are very few potatoes on the market
at present and large amount ofthese
have been contracted for long in ad-
vance of their arrival.

: 4 Bad Wreck.

A bad wreck occurred at Campbell
this. morning at an early *hc5sr be-
tween two freight trains on the Great
Northern Railway. An extra freight
train was switching in the yards at
Campbell and had backed into the
siding to take out car, leaving the
switch open. The local freight, east
bound, came along just at this time
running at good rate of speed, and
heading into the siding crashed into
the engine of the extra, demolishing
both engines and badly damaging two
or three cars. Both crews saw the
danger in time to jump, consequently
no one was injured seriously. There
was q heavy fog at the time which
prevented the train crews from seeing
the danger until it was too late to
avert the disaster.
The damaged engines, Nos POI
and 757, were brought in here last
evening by the wrecking crew.-Breck-
enridge Telegram, 2nd inst.

When the Ruble Block is finished
the Fred w. Segerstrom Supply Co.,
which has been recently organized,
will occupy the entire lower floor of
that structure. The organization of
that company was affected last
Wednesday evening and it has been
incorporated with capital stock of
S25, 600. The officers are S. E. Stans-
berry, president; G. H. Stevens, vice
president; Fred w. Segerstrom, secre-
tary and treasurer. The following is
the board of directors: S. E. Stans-
berry, G. H. Stevens, Fred w. Seger-
strom, A. C. Crawford, Geo. H. Otter
ness, D. Grashuis of Clara City, and
Spencer Ericsson, of Raymond. The

sical business in connection with the
house furnishing goods which the
company will carry.
At meeting of the directors held

Eating Houses Lose Business.

6es'"S nouS0S lose 0OSln0SS.
The new change in the railroad time
card is not at all agreeable for our
restaurants and hotels, who have de-
pended so much upon the business re-
sulting from the stopping OF the day
trains here for dinner. While it may
be very convenient for the travelling
public, 1t will mean big decrease in
the income of our eating houses. The
train arriving from the east, No. IL,
now stops for dinner at Litchfield.
The trains from the west and south
stop at Benson and Marshall respec.
lively, the same as for some time past.
1t Is said by some that the discontinue
ing OF the trains to stop here for din
ner was q move on the part of the
company to get even with the eating
houses who refused to feed the boiler
makers taking the place of the strik-
ers here some time ago. It is hardly
thought possible that the company has
adopted the change for the above rea.
son, but If such is the case it certain.
ly has done so to the great detriment
OF the restaurant men. Matt. Sand
DO, who is more largely interested in
the restaurant business in this city
than any one else, and who had gone
to considerable expense lately in max.
ing Investments preparatory to- ttt
fall trade, will perhaps be the greater
sufferer.

Badly Burnt In Face,

Harry Gordhamer was the victim of
an accident at Norway Lake on Tues
day of last week which resulted in his
face being fearfully burned. He was
left in charge of the creamery at that
place and was working about the en-
gine when the affair happened. In
blowing out the boiler, he opened the
safety valve, which was clogged up by
scales, and in taking it apart at the
top an explosion took place. The
scales flew in his face and he was so
badly burned that it was necessary to
consult q physician, DR.. johnson was
called upon in this city and hepatient
has been spending the past week under
his care. It is expected that the burns
will be healed without leaving the
young mans face disfgured.

Sues for q DiR Amount.

Dan Meehan, q we'll known Great
Northern brakeman on the Northern
division, has brought an action
against, the company for 1000
damages. The injury was sustained
last April. When the freight train on
which he was employed was q short
distance east of Grafton, Meehan was
proceeding on top of the cars from the
rear of the train to the front end,
loosening the brakes as he went. he
was moving from one car to the other
rapidly as is the custom and suddenly
as he leaped from one car to what he
supposed was another, he discovered
that there was no car ahead. The
train had broken in two and he fell to
the tracks below with terrific force,
driving the bone Of one of his legs
through the flesh at the ankle. His
escape from death was wonderful. The
break beam of the car struck him in
the back, and in some manner threw
him outside the rails. He was badly
bruised up generally, but the injury
to his ankle was the most severe. He
was crippled up seriously, and can
just get about now with the aid of
crutches. It is claimed that he will be
permanently crippled, and damages in
the sum of $40, 900 are asked.
