Gave James a Fright.

Unfortunately for James, Mrs. j
Is not The most careful OF women. In
fact, she is the kind of woman who
would fill the sugar basin with starch
and wonder how the tea came to taste
so curious. The other day she had
been doing some fancy work. and, as
usual, not having her workbasket by
her. she just put the ball Of silk she
had been using into tumbler.
James was rather later than usual
that night, and, as he had been staying
overtime licking stamps for circulars,
1t will be easily understood that he
was thirsty.
OF course, he chose the tumbler with
the ball Of silk in it to fill with water.
1t was emptied with two gulps. But
there was something in the last one
which made him think all was not as
1t should have been. Then he felt a
tickling at the back of his throat.
That's mysterious" he said, plac-
ing his finger and thumb inside his
mouth.
He caught hold Of the end Of silk and
pulled it.
The tickling sensation was worse
than ever. and James expression as he
kept on pulling and accommodating
yards of silk was quite awful to see.

the lesser of the two being his state

house after farp house in the country
and restaurants in Red Lake Falls, he
did not eat anything from breakfast
which he took at Wilfred Dion's place
in company with Mongeon, until he
reached Tilden at O'clock tina,

blunder was his statement that he

proved that he did not sell single

GAS EXPLOSION WRECKS HOTEL
Two-story Building in Grand Forks it
Ruins

Grand Forks N. d., Dec. 80. - The
Columbia hotel two-story building
opposite the Great Northern passen-
ger station, used for hotel, restaur.
ant and grocery store, was wrecked at
11:15 a. M. yesterday by the explosion
of an acetylene plant in the rear Of
the building. No lights were burning
and the cause of the explosion is a
mystery. The entire front of the
building for distance of seventy-tive
feet was blown out, the brick walls
between several departments
crumbled and the roof was blown off.
A porter named Carvel was in the
room with the machine at the time of
the explosion and was picked up
fifty feet away in an unconscious con
dition and taken to hospital. He is
probably fatally injured. 1t is thought
he must have struck a match near the
gas machine James Ham, clerk.
and Mary Finn, waitress, were seri-
ously injured by flying glass, but
neither dangerously. The building
and business was owned by Oscar
Knutson, who is out of town.

FACE DEATH IN HOTEL FIRE.
Duluth Hostelry Swept by Flames In
the Night.


Duluth, Mimi, Dec. %. - For the
eighth time in twenty-three years, the
old st. James hotel was swept by fire
last night. Sixty-fve guests were
sleeping in the hotel at $3.50 o'clock in
the morning, when the fire was dis
covered. The firemen and police saved
many persons who otherwise would
have been cremated. There were two
theatrical companies in the house
The Sign of the Cross and "The
Curse of Drink" The theatrical peo-
pie made merry over the loss of cloth
ing and other articles of value. Every
one of the guests got down the fire es-
capes, with the aid of the police and
firemen, but none of them had time to
dress. Some of the actresses carried
their QUEER clothing to the street be-
foore DOMINIC it, and used a plate
glass window for mirror. Daniel Nc
Donald jumped from second-story
window and escaped uninjured. An in
vestigation is being made as to the
origin of the fire. 1t is believed to
have been incendiary.

TRIAL OF KOCH
ON AT new ULM
TWO JURORS SECURED OUT OF
A vENlRE OF TWENTY
FIVE MEN.
SHERIFF is DISQUALIFIED
WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO
SUMMON SPECIAL vEN,RE OF
HUNDRED AND TWENTY.

New Ulm, Mimi, Dec. 29.-Sheriff
William Julius of Brown county will
not summon the special venire of 100
jurors ordered by Judge Weber in
Koch's trial. An affidavit of prejudice
was filed yesterday by w. d. Abbott,
one of Koch's attorneys, and the sher.
if was declared disqualified by the
Judge. The jurors will be summoned
by Coroner Fritcheff of New Ulm.
The affidavit stated that Mr.. Abbott
believed Sheriff Julius was prejudiced
fully. Discussion as to the legality of
the methods used by Sheriff Julius in
securing impressions of DR.. Koch's
thumbs in Jail is said to have been the
Cause of Disqualification.
Koch's attorneys threatened to have
Julius indicted for using force and re-
moved from Office. and it was feared
that he might harbor resentment. I'm
der the law the sheriff, or if he is dis
qualified, the coroner summons the
special venire from the county at his
discretion.
Two jurors were secured yesterday
as the result of the examination of
twenty-five of the petit jurors. They
are A. Rinlle, sixty years old, retired
merchant of Sleepy Eye. and Emil
Rasmussen, thirty-four years old, a
merchant residing at Prairieville.
A sensation occurred shortly before
court adjourned. The photographer OF
a ST. Paul paper endeavored to take a
flash light of the court room.
The Flash Exploded
with thunderous report that startled
everybody. The flash lamp was shat
tered but no one was injured.
Judge Weber said if the proportion
of jurors secured yesterday was taken
as basis of calculation, special
venire of 1924 would be required to Sc
cure twelve jurors. Neither side OBJ
jected and the venire was issued.
The days proceedings were the
dullest of routine-a long, slow, pre-
else examination of men called to act
as jurors.

agent and fixing the prices at which
news print. malta, fiber and other pa

Ations and newspapers to which it
shall be sold, and into what states it
shall be shipped and sold.

strain the manufacturers from contin-
uing their arrangement with the Gen
eral Paper company, from making that
company their exclusive sales agent,
from authorizing the company to re-
strict the output fix prices and terms

sons corporations or newspapers to
which paper shall be sold.
A restraining order is also asked
pending the determination Of the Suit.

Ashland, Wis, Dec. 2S.-The Indians
Of the Bad river reservation. twelve
miles southeast of Ashland, have been
holding councils almost daily for a
week for the purpose of formulating a
plan for bringing to the attention OF
the department at Washington many
alleged abuses of which the Odanah
Indians have complained for the last
ten years. The principal grievance
which the Indians desire to lay before
the department is the proofs they say
they have of the existence of financial
relations between government officials
in the Indian Office at Ashland and a
lumber company which has the gov
eminent contract for cutting the pine
