SEARCHING RUINS
FOR THE DEAD
1rHIRTY F1REMEN SEEK BODY OF
JOHN FELLOWS.
Many Freaks Of the Fire Unearthed in
the Course of the Work-Iron Fused
and Twisted, While Intlammable OBJ
jects Escaped the Flames-Obstacles
That Bother the Workmen.

With a force of thirty men. District
Chief Kehoe of the fire department
today resumed the work Of searching
the ruins of the Boutell building for
the remains of John M. Fellows, the
fireman who lost his life in the great
fire of Tuesday night. All morning
the fremen worked like Trojans, and
altho they moved several hundred Gu
bic feet Of debris, no trace Of the body
could be found. q, rs"
Many freaks of the flames were I'M
earthed:: One man would pick up a
piece Of iron that had been fused and
twisted by the intense heat, while a
companion at his elbow would find an
article that showed no signs of having
been touched by the flames.
Among the oddities were several rolls
on the fifth floor of the burned build
ing. The outer part of the rolls had
been burned, but as they were thrown
aside, the burned portions fell off and
revealed the mating beneath, appar-
emily uninjured.
A wheel of ruined baby cab taken
from beneath ten feet Of debris was
almost as true as the day it was made
Nails were found bent, twisted and
fused together by the heat; iron truss.
rods were twisted out Of shape and left
so soft that heavy pieces of them could
easily be bent with the hands; pieces
Of glass were melted together in
STRANGE and beautiful shapes.
When the fremen began work yester
day afternoon, it was a discourag ine
outlook. The debris in the basement
was several feet deep coated with ice
and snow. But by nightfall they hat
dug thru ten feet Of this mass in the
southwest corner. Iron beams, girder.
and truss-rods were pulled out will
tackles. Chief Kehoe expects to reacl
bottom where the body is supposed Il
be, before darkness falls.
Shortly before noon, the Boutell SAT,
was exhumed in the sub-basement AM
raised by tackle apparently uninjured

MOTIVE FOUND
FOR The MURDER
Police May Arrest the Grodnick
Assassins at Any
Time.

An arrest may be made at any time
in connection with the murder of
Michael Grodnick, shot by unknown per.
sons while he was on duty as a special
Waterman last Saturday night.
Police Superintendent Conroy has fol-
lowed all the clues. He says that one
of them has resulted in the discovery
of a motive. Certain persons, who
live in North Minneapolis, have had a
long standing grudge against Grodnlck (
and evidence is now in the possession OF
the police that they openly made
The police still refuse to say who is
suspected or what was the motive. They
have followed the case to a point where
they think it wise to make an arrest,
and it may be made at any time.

CHIN TONG GAR FIRST
ADMITTED TO BAIL

For the first time since the Chinese
exclusion act was passed, in 1890,
Chinaman charged with being of the
laboring class, and with being in this
country without certificate, has been
allowed bail in this district. It is even
thought that it is the first time Chi
such a charge in the United States.
Chin Tong Gar, who appeared before
Howard S. Abbott, United States COM
missioner, yesterday afternoon, asked
for bail. There was heated discus
sion. Commissioner Abbott made a spe-
cial ruling and $500 bail was put up.
The case will be continued to Dec. 28.
Gee Lee, held on the same charge,
was committed to the county Jail Dec.
Is. In case the decision is against
the Cinnamon and they are ordered de-
ported, they will be allowed ten days to
appeal to the federal court.

st. Peter, Mimi, Dec. 17.--Governor-
elect John A. johnson has been COM
pletely swamped by the avalanche Of
mail that has poured in upon him dur
ing the last few days.. Hundreds of
letters relating to appointments arrive
with every mail, and Messrs Day and
busy nearly all of the time opening
and sorting the correspondence. Some
of the candidates for appointment have
started PERSONAL---VERY. campaign, and
one mail often brings as high as twenty
or thirty letters in behalf of a single
candidate.
1t is physical impossibility for the
governor to read all the letters,
much less to answer them. The stream
Of callers is continuous. Men are COM
ing in from every section of the state,
demanding audience with Mr.. johnson.
1t time were given to all of them the
entire day would be taken up. In fact,
the callers have practically monopo-
lized the attention Of the governor
elect ever since the election. He has
tried several times to get started on his

s. W. Leavett of the board of control
is here by request, to advise with Mr..
johnson regarding state institution
matters. Other callers must Of neces
sity wait. Yet this morning ten men
from outside St. Peter were in demand
ing personal interviews.
Complaints are coming in from men
prominent. in politics because no no
tice has been taken of their letters
recommending candidates. In spite OF
the complaints nothing can be done, as
it is physical impossibility to give
each letter personal attention and reply
No attention is being paid now t
correspondence concerning appoint
ments like the board of grain appeals
which are not filled until next August
Yet the campaign for these positions il
already adding to the bulk of the gov
ernor's mail
No appointments were announced to
day, and little will be determined TO,
the next few days. Most Of the mat
ters pending require, elaboration. AM
many friends of the governor cleo
must be accorded a hearing before tn
questions can be decided definitely.

REMARKABLE RUG.
Owned BY Indian Was Made From "
Human Scalps.
From the Dallas News.

From the Dallas News
A rug which took n lives in the maxi
ing is owned by an Iowa Indian living in
Stroud, Ok. T. 1t is also $50 years old, and
consists of II scalps torn from the heads
of as many human beings The rug,
which is barely five feet square. is of
many hues, for the scaps are red, gray,
black, white, brown and auburn. They
belonged to peaceful people, too and are
said to have been taken by special COM
mand of the Great Spirit from the finest
specimens of men, women and children
belonging to the white, red and negro
races As soon as the scalps were Sc
cured they were sewn together, and the
rug was from that regarded as the rem
edy for all trouble. When an Indian was
taken sick he was laid on this rug, and
II he did not recover his spirit was as
sured Of a pleasant journey to the happy
hunting ground. This remarkable ere
alton can be seen but once year. At
the annual wild onion feast. which comes
on April /, the Iowa Indians make the
rug play an important part. The onion
is freely used, the Indians staturating
themselves from head to foot with the
juice. This was their successful way of
driving away the evil spirits.
prayer rug belonging to the Shah of
Persia is another valuable mat. Though
barely two feet square it design is most
elaborate. 1t is worked throughout In
precious stones, and the effect is daz-
zling. The ground is formed of rose dla-
monds, and in the center is a large bird.
whose neck is made of amethysts and its
body of rubies. The vines, which form
a network through which the bird may
be seen as through a cage, are made of
emeralds, while the bands which connect
the stones are of seed pearl. The floral
emblem of Persia is worked out in blue.
yellow and pink stones, this design being
known as the Nina Khani design 1t Is
difficult to determine even the approx
mate value OF this small rug. but it has
been estimated that If IT were sold the
proceeds placed at per cent interest,
would bring In an income of at least $780,,
600 per annum.
