AN EARLY ERE
Cold Storage Of Duluth Brewing
Company Scorched This
Morning.

The cold storage warehouse Of
the Duluth Brewing company
was badly scorched by fire at Z
o'clock this morning. The build
ing was unroofed, the office
apartments were cleaned out, all
the books were destroyed and
about forty: cases of beer We're
rendered useless.
The fire started from an air,
tight heater in the office. Felix
Signal, the agent, started a tire
in the stove about $50 and went
up town It is presumed that
the draught was closed and the
heat blew off the cover and
allowed the fire to communicate
to the room. The building was
first discovered to be on fire by
Joe McTaggart, who was just
coming down town to work with
his dray team. The alarm was
promptly given and the fire de-
partmentr esponded as promptly,
but were unable to get water on
the building at once, as one OF
the hydrants was frozen up. The
blaze was soon gotten under con
troll, however, and it's spread to
the adjoining buildings pre-
vented. The damage will be in
sneighhorhood of $500, and is
well covered by insurance.

Mr.. Erickson had filed and had
made a trip to the coast and trav-
eled 400 miles by stage IN order
to make his final proof. All this
involved a heavy expense to Mr..
Erickson and he is now informed
that his proof was rejected on
the trivial ground that he did not
file originally in the same dis
trict in which the land is located.
Mr.. Erickson made his fling
and proved up in Crock county
but he filed at one place in the
county and proved up in another,
and it now appears that the two
parts of the county are in differ
ent land dis tricts. Conseq uently,
according to the ruling of the de-
partment, Mr.. Erickson has spent
great deal Of time, taken a long
and arduous trip and expended a
good deal of money for nothing.
Other people who have filed in
Oregon recently are having the
same trouble: Several Beltrami
county people have had their
claims held up after having COM
pleted all the steps prescribed by
the department. A party of
fourteen from Princeton, this
state. are treated in the same
way this week.
This treatment seems more
THAN passing strange in the face
Of the fact that all claim holders
have complied rigidly with the
directions of the department and
of the land Office officials.

ACCOUNTS SHORT
Expert Accountant Discovers Z
Shortage Of $lO3 in Accounts
Of Village of Tenstrike.

The expert accountant en-
ployed to audit the books of the
village treasurer at Tenstrike
has completed his labors and a
shortage Of $103 has been de-
yeloped.
The shortage is prior to the
year 1901, and the gentleman
who was village treasurer at that
time is now resident of St.
Louis. The books are in bad con-
dition, and the accountant found
it difficult to straighten them
out. The shortage at first was
found to be $532, but in an old
envelope in the village safe $500
worth of city warrants which
had been duly paid and not en-
tered on the treasurer's books
were discovered. No charges of
dishonesty against the treasurer
are made. The shortage is be-
lieved to be the result of care
lessness, and it is regarded as
quite proba BILE that warrants for
this amount may have been
issued and afterwards mislaid or
in some Way deStryed.

Case Involving ToWnsite OF
Northome Argued Before
Judge Spooner.
SILVER BROS. ASK FOR DIVI-
SION OF PROPERTY.
Oriciaal owners ofTownsite They
Decided Seventy Per Cent Inter.
est to Backus & Brooks.

The case of Silver Bros. VS..
Backus & Brooks is being argued
before Judge Spooner in cham
bers today. It involves the title
to the present townsite OF North.
ONE and promises to be one OF
the hardest fought pieces OF It'll
cation ever in the district court
in this county.
Silver Bros. were, the original
owners of the townsite of North
ONE. They decided a seventy
per cent interest to Backus &
Brooks in consideration of the
fact that the survey of the M. &
I. railway was made through the
present TOWNSHIP. They now ask
for a thirty per cent share OF the
proceeds from the sale of town
lots already made and a like pro
portion of the land remaining I'M
sold. The action is begun against
Backus & Brooks and the North
ONE Townsite company.
The Northome ToWnsite com
pany is a corporation organized
some time ago and for the thirty
per cent interest which Silver
Bros. owned in the townsite they
were to be given thirty per cent
of the capital stock. This ar
rangement was unsatisfactory to
the plaintiff and is the founda-
ton for the action. Notice Of
lis pendens was filed in the mat
ter some time ago and since that
time no town lots have been sold.
The proceeds of the town lots al
ready sold amounts to $4,000
and Silver Bros. ask for divi-
sion of this money.
A. G.. Merrill, Of Minneapolis,
appears in the matter for SILVER
Bros. and Harris Richardson, OF
st. Paul, for Backus & Brooks
and the Townsite company.

noon today as a committee from
the county board of Clearwater
county to meet with the Beltram:
commissioners to decide upon

before it's division and the
creation of Clearwater county

The settlement will probably
be affected on a pro rata basis

proceedings instituted against
him Sheriff Torkelson said that

has already forwarded 200 pages
of manuscript evidence to the
governor and there are over a
hundred pages yet to come. The
investigation will cost Clearwater
county in the neighborhood OF
$1,000. Mr.. Torkelson declined
to discuss the outcome, but did
not seem to be visibly worried.

YOUNG LADIES IN EXCITING RUNAWAY
On the BarrackviIie Road Last Even
ing-Fortunateiy, No One Was
Seriously Hurt.

There was an exciting runa way on
! the Barrackville road last evening
! that might have resulted very serious
/ ly for all parties. but fortuna ,ely all
! escaped serious injury. Miss Lou
! Barnes. who had been visiting in Fair
| view for the past week, was return
ing home in Il buggy with her sister,
Miss Nellie Barnes, and a little after
five O'Clock, as they were driving
down the steep hill just beyond the
forks of the road, they were startled
by hearing the sound of a runaway
behind them. Before they could get
entirely out of the way, the fright
ened horse dashed past, causing the
two buggies to collide and throwing
the occupants all on the ground. Miss
Alice OhIey and Miss Eta Hawkins
were the occupants of the other bug
gy, and when the dazed quarette re-
gained their equilibrium it was found
that no fractures had been sus tanned,
although Miss Ohley had bruised
arm and side. and Miss Haw liins a
sore head and a number of bruises.
The horses were caught on Jackson
street by some men, and the horse
and buggy belonging to the Misses
Barnes so little injured that they
were able to finish the drive home,
although they were minus whip,
buggy seat and all parcels with which
they had started. One wheel of the
buggy was badly bent, but beyond this
and a somewhat severe shaking up
the party reached home in almost as
good shape as when they started
The buggy and horse driven by the
other ladies, belonged to F'css Ballah
and had been loaned to them 10 make
a trip to Fairview in. AT the top of
the hill mentioned a part Of the har-
ness had broken, frightening the
horse and causing it to become I'M
manageable. The buggy was wreck
when the horse was finally stopped,
and the animal had several cuts to
show for the accident. A cab was
sent from the Manley hotel to take
the ladies home, and today they are
little the worse for their expert ence.
