Sioux Falls, S. D.. Jan. 4.-Fire broke
out in the basement of the Sioux Falls
hospital, frame building, and the peo-
pie of the city for a time feared thai
some of the patients would lose theil
lives. All the hacks in the city were
requisitioned, and 500 all the patients
were removed to places Of safety.
Many were in scanty attire, and the
fact that a fierce northeast gale and
snowstorm prevailed made their re-
moval, especially those whose condition
was serious. a difficult and dangerous
undertaking.. The fire started from the
furnace, and speedily filled the build
ing with smoke, causing a momentary
panic among attendants and patients.
The nurses soon regained their cool
ness, and with the aid of firemen, who
We're promptly on the scene, hackmen

Like City, Ia, Jan. 5.-Moses Sher-
man viii soon leave for Los Angeles,
Cal, called there to prosecute his
claims On a certain estate left by an
alleged brother of Mr.. Sferinan's. a
Few years ago a nj by the name of
Charles Hill. a pioneer In California,
died, as was supposed, comparatively
poor. But later investigation developed
the fact that he had property to tlle@
value of Sl42,000. Almost immediately
several claimants came forward and
urged their respective rights to the
coveted property. At present there are
lafee principal ones. Moses Sherman.
MIS-. Marietta Var1tey, VINO claims to be
q daughter OF Hills, and Salem
charles, a New York lawyer. Little
was known in Los Angeles OF the ante
ceuents OF Hill but Sherman claims
that he was his brother, who took his
flight from the old home In Cayaga
county, N. Y, because he was wanted
by The United States treasury detect
ives for counterfeiting. It seems that
Hill, whose real name. 1t is claimed,
was Lorenzo Dow Sherman, bore a
SHADY reputation in this regard and
concluded that he would disappear be-
Tore the officers could capture him. He
abandoned a wife and the daughter
who is now claiming d share Of the
estate. Moses states that the evening
previous to his brothers departure heH
tod him he would change his mare
TO Charles Hill when he reached his
destination. On this and the identifi-
cation of certain marks on the body OF
the brother n certain photographs In
his possession Mr.. Sherman bases his
claim. The alleged daughter is assist-
ing Sherman in his case and opposing
salem Charles. 1t is known thai Hill
was a member of the notorious briggs
gang OF coun5erfeiters which operated
for a number Of years, but which was
broken up near Dayton, o. The hear
ing Of the cases is called for January
8 at Los Angeles.

wood work will have to be gone over
with. There was no fire in the build
ing and has been none, and the origin
of the fire is a deep mystery. The fire

building Of the institution just as it was
completed.

The extraction of nitrogen from the
I-nexhaustible supply in the air has
been accomplished by a method so tn
expensive as 10 make it feasible for tile
production OF a fertilizer, has been &C.
compJis1ed by Dr. Erlwein of Germany,
The fixing of nitrogen by calcium car.
bide, after 1t had been derived by pass
ing air over red hot copper, was done
long since as a laboratory experiment
but the product was too expensive. DR..
ErlWein brought the nitrogen into com.
binat1on with a mixture Of powdered
charcoal and lime in an electrical fur
mace. The product Of this combination
is 9 black substance containing, besides
b lime and carbon, 10 to Is per cent
OF nitrogen, in perfect condition to be
used as a fertilizer. From the expert
ments thus far made with this new
artificial nitrate-which Is known in
as calcium cyanimide-it APP
pears that Its nitrogen acts upon plants
quite as effectively as that contained
In q proportionate quantity of nitrate OF
potassium or sodium nitrate. This dis
covery will release the world from
