ROCKET STARTS A FIRE
ANDREW scHocH's BARN, TENTH
AND PINE, is DESTROYED.
Loss viii Be About $4,000, Which Is
Fully Covered by lnsurance-Fifty
Horses and the Delivery Wagons Are
Saved by Prompt Arrival of Fire
men.

A blazing sky rocket falling on the
tar roof of the Andrew Schoch COM
pany barn, Tenth and Pine streets,
started fire at $50 yesterday morn
ing which did damage to the extent
of $4,000. There were fifty head of
horses and thirty delivery wagons in
the barn, but the firemen managed to
get them all out before any damage
was done. Several sets of harness and
$1,000 worth Of hay and feed We're
totally destroyed.
Rev. w. J. Weber, pastor of the
First German NJ. e. Church lives on
Van Slyke court, near the barn. He
awoke shortly after o'clock and no.
ticed the flames and telephoned to the
FIRE department. Engine Company No.

nlediately began fighting the fire,
which by this time had made good
Roadway. The hay loft was filled with
hay and when this got started there
was no hope Of saving the upper por
ton of the barn.
The firemen had considerable diff
Guilty in rescuing the horses from the
burning barn. The smoke from the
hay NOW made the beasts frantic and
great many OF them naQ TO be
dragged out by main force. Assistant
Chief Martin sent in second call,
which brought out the down town ap-
paratus.

$1,000 and the loss to the Choteau

barn, at $4,000. Mr.. Schoch carried
$4,000 insurance. and the barn was
likewise protected. Schoch was to
have purchased the barn next week.

OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTER
FOR DULUTH NORMAL
President Bohannon Says Delay in
Opening Will Not Affect
-. Attendance.

"Our school is going to surprise
those pessimistS who have declared
that it was a mistake to establish it
in the first place, and who have been
predicting that 1t would be a failure.
The prospects today are brighter than
they have ever been, and our own esti-
mates made year ago are going to
prove too modest by far. WeSwill open
the school with three times as many
students as we first figured on" So
says President Bohannon, of the Du-
luth normal school, which is to be
opened op. Sept, 2, after many disap-
pointing days. -
Things are booming at the school
now, and there is not the slightest
doubt that the building will be ready
for us when the time for opening ar
riveS. The board of control is show
ing renewed activity in arranging for
the equipment and has given the au-
thorities an absolute promise that the
work will be hurried along that Moth
Ing may interfere with the opening.
1t was thought at first that an at
tendance Of fifty to begin with would
be satisfactory, but at the rate In
which applications have been coming
Il
the number will be nearer $50, and he
has made friendly wager with Presi-
dent Ankeny, of the normal board, to
that effect. $<s ---~
Duluth is greatly excited at the
prospects of finally having the nor
NAL school. The citizens have been
disappointed so often that they feared
1T would never be opened. The Du-
luth normal school has had very hard
row. When Duluth first went after
the school before the legislature, great
opposition was manifested in many
quarters. The bill was bitterly fought
in the legislature, winning out by a
margin of one vote in the senate At
that Gov Lind was at one time set
upon vetoing the bill. Then when the
building was finally completed and a
date for opening 1t had been set it
was destroyed by fire. 1t was i'm
mediately rebuilt, and a new date for
opening set, and then the normal
board-board of control controversy
arose and held the matter up for three
months. Finally when that was set
tied the normal board decided to
try to open the school March 1, but
this was found to be impossible. Then
1T was decided to begin on June 1 and
run 1T through the summer, but this was
found impossible also. Then the board
decided to open it Sept. 1, and for
time it looked as if another postpone
ment would be necessary, but finally
this was avoided and at last Duluth
is to have its new school for which it
has been fighting for ten years.
The members of the normal board
have feared that the long controversy
would put the school at disadvantage
and might hamper its progress. It
was also feared that the country tribu-
tary to Duluth might continue to do as
1T had done and patronize the ST. Cloud
and Moorhead schools. The reports re-
ceived, however, lead President Bo-
hannon to express great assurance
that the school will open up with a
very large attendance and every pros
pect of a most successful year.

Governors Executive Clerk
Touted as Tams Bixby's
Successor
VAN SAINT CAN TRUST HIM
Rumor Has 1t That Clever Young Sixth
District Politician Will Be Select
ed to Lead the Republic.
an Campaign.
" - 5s-r..

Executive Clerk James Martin, Of
the governors office, may succeed
Tams Bixby as the executive head and
front of the Republican campaign
forces.
The rumor of Martins elevation to
Bixby's place is only rumor, but the
tale has the logic of good politics in 1t
and it fits in well with recent develop
ments in the Republican camp and
lends color to the general belief that
the Sixth congressional district men,
who controlled the recent convention,
are to take a more prominent part in
the activities of the party Of the state.
Martin is from Stearns county. He
has been prominent in the politics of
his county since he reached his ma
jority. He came to the front in state
politics after the election of Van SAINT,
when he was appointed to the respon-
sible position of executive clerk. Mar
tin is one of the few Van SAINT appoin-
tees who through everything has re-
manned steadfastly true to his chief.
Stuck to the Ship.
In the last six months, while trouble
for Van SAINT was brewing throughout
the state, no one man did more effec-
tive Woak against the insurgents than
Martin. His political sagacity is gen
orally respected and should he be plac-
ed at the head of the campaign ma
chine, Van SAINT will be sure of loyalty
as well as brainy management.
1t was quite generally believed
when the abdication of Bixby began
to look like more than a sure thing
that Private Secretary Jamison would
take the reins. This arrangement is
not satisfactory to many prominent
Republicans. The objection to Jamison
is not based on allegations of his I'M
fitness for the place, but it is believed
that he can be of more real service to
the party in other directions if he is
not~hampered with the supervision of
the general campaign.

A Bolt of Lightning Badly
Frightens Residents of
York Street
WOMAN KNOCKED DOWN
Mrs. John Peterson Falls Uncon-
scious and Young Girls Arm Hurt
While Bolt Zig Gags Around
r House. : =

Lightning, in its most freakish mood,
played large part in the celebration
of York street residents yesterday aft
ernoon, and several persons had a mar
row escape from instant death. During
the thunderstorm which occurred
shortly before 6 o'clock the electrical
discharge was severe in all parts of
the city, causing many merrymakers to
seek safety indoors.
3 A crowd of children were shooting
frecrackers and playing in the yard
of Carl Strum, 609 York street, during
the storm. Mrs. Strom came out from
the house to the yard to warn the
children, and Mrs. John Peterson, 613
York street, came into the yard to take
her children home. While the women
were talking to the children a bolt of
lightning struck tall tree in the yard
and came down the trunk. The bark
on both sides of the tree was stripped
for space two inches in width. The
bolt struck the ground and tore up the
sod, and then started zig-zagging about
the yard Mrs. Peterson had baby in
her arms, and she was knocked to the
sidewalk unconscious. Mrs. Strum fell
to the ground, and her six-year- old
daughter was thrown against the stone
sidewalk with sufficient force to LAGER
ate her arm severely. There were a
half dozen other children playing in
the yard, and all were felled to the
ground with the force of the shock.
After shooting around the yard the
bolt struck the clapboard on the front
of the house on level with the Sec
ond-story window and tore the curtain
off, but did not enter the house. Some
OF the boards were torn off and splin-
tered.
FroIics Around a House.
c. w. Lund, Nils Johnson and John
Delen occupy the house adjoining the
Straum residence. The space between
the two houses is small, and into this
the bolt of lightning dived when it got
through with the clapboards. Lund's
bedroom window was opened and the
bolt entered the room, which is on the
ground floor. 1t would appear to be al
most impossible for anything not hui
man to get out of the ROOM but the
bolt found the door without doing any
damage to the furniture. 1t then made
its way under the dining room table,
out through the kitchen and through
the back door,
Lund and johnson were just going
out the back door when the bolt passed
between them. Lund's left arm was
paralyzed for nearly an hour after
wards. Delen was up stairs on the
back porch directly over Lund and
Johnson, getting drink of water. The
glass was knocked from his hands and
then all trace of the bolt was lost.
Mrs. Peterson was taken to her home,
where it was some time before she
recovered consciousness. Mrs. Strum
was hysterical for nearly an hour, and
was unable to use her left arm. All
the time during it's brief visit the light
ming appeared to be trying to get as
close as possible without doing any
damage. 1t passed within a few feet
of nearly dozen people in different d.
rections, but always managed to dodge
them in the nick of time.
