A BoxcAR ROBBERY.
Stranger Says He Was Robbed by
Fellow Tourists.

Last Sunday a Swede reported to
the police that he had been robbed
the night before by couple of men,
who had taken small sum Of money
from him by threatening him with
a revolver. He said the robbery took
place on the Line" and at first it was
believed that he meant the section OF
the city on the south side of the North.
ern Pacific tracks usually designated
in that manner Subsequently it de-
veloped that he had reference to the
railroad.
He said that he was stealing ride
in Northern Pacific boxcar and that
when within few miles of the city
two men had entered the car and
pointing a revolver at him compelled
him to yield and after searching his
pockets had taken between So and 50
from him. Failing to find any more,
he said the robbers then forced him
to jump from the car. He gave a
fairly accurate description of the rob-
bers and search for them was made
by the police. A couple of men who
resembled those described by the
Swede were found near the Northern
Pacific sand house. AS soon as they
saw the policeman they took to their
heels and were captured only after a
long chase. They were held at head.

FOR A SECOND TIME.
The Elk Is scorched and Flooded
Once More.

For the second time within week
the Elk has received a scorching. The
first occurred last Thursday night and
resulted in only nominal damage to
the building, the second this afternoon.
The extent of the loss occasioned is
not yet known, as the fire had not been
extinguished at the time this was
written.
Today's blaze was confined to the
upper story, on the south side, and
several rooms were more or less
damaged, principally by water. The
fires origin is believed to be trace
able to the furnace, the cause of the
one of last week. Mr.. Mccormick is
of the belief that when the firemen
ceased work Thursday night some
sparks were permitted to remain un-
extinguished and continued to smoul-
der in the partition, the fire gradual
ly eating it's way upward toward the
roof, from which issuing smoke was
the first notice received today that
the building was burning again.
Effort was made to extinguish the
fire with the chemicals, but this prov
ed unsuccessful and water was turned
on, two streams being required. Be-
cause of the fact that it was confined
between the plastering of the parti-
ton and seemingly also between the
brick veneering and the timber of the
walls, the fire was hard to get at, while
the sitting smoke that filed the rooms
in which they were compelled to op-
crate also greatly interfered with the
firemen. BY drenching the walls and
partition the fire was finally overcome.
