Miss Patterson, who is on trial charged
with the murder Of Caesar Young, the
bookmaker, recited to the Jury the
scenes in her life which had to do with
her dealings with Young. Not only
did Miss Patterson swear that she did
not kill Young, but she denied every
circumstance In the case which the
state has brought up against her. She
denied that she was dismayed be-
cause Young was about to leave her
and go to Europe, after having been
told by him, as it has been alleged
that all was over between them.

and lnjuring About as Many More.


Minneapolis, Dec 21.-seven per-
sons are believed to have been killed
and as many more were seriously in
jured by the collapse, shortly after
midnight, of the south wall of the
Peck building on Fifth street, which
was Quilted by the big fire last week.
The wan was blown over by the
wind, which was blowing gale, fall
ing on the roof of the three-story
Crocker hotel building, burying the
sleeping occupants in the wreckage.
The fire department responded to an
alarm, when it was found that the
wall had carried the entire interior of
the. hotel building into the basement.
The dead and missing are:
HANS ANDERSON, frozen to death,
livery employe.
JAMES HAMILTON, frozen to death,
livery employe.
c. M. KENYON, foreman Daniels
linseed mill, crushed in the ruins.
WILLIAM LILLYBLADE, employe
Daniels linseed mill, crushed by fall
ing wall.
WILLIAM ZIMMERMAN, laborer,
crushed by the falling walls.
WILLIAM BRAY, contractor, killed
while he slept.
JOSEPH VIOLET, coachman, killed
while he slept
Fire Breaks Out in Wreckage.
The falling walls broke loose gas
Jets and overturned stoves and when
the fire department reached the scene
the wreckage was ablaze in several
places. Quick work subdued the
flames and the work Of rescuing the
imprisoned victims was begun. In the
course of an hour eight injured were
taken out and sent to hospitals.
The recovery of the dead was much
slower work, as the bodies were bur-
led under tons of debris. Search for
the dead and missing still continues.
The walls of the Peck building,
which was completely Quilted of all its
floors in the disastrous fire of Dec. 13,
were built of brick, two thicknesses.
Building Inspector Houghton looked
them over and while it is said that he
had intended 10 condemn them he had
given no specific directions. The NOR.
tar was weakened by the heavy fire
| which 1t had withstood.
The CrOcker House was situated
over three store rooms and occupied
| the two stories above the ground floor.
It was a flimsy old place; the parti-
tions cracked and caved in like so
much paper-they were only lath and
| plaster; and the whole structure
| seemed rotten to the core. When 1t
went it went with an appalling crash.
The occupants of the hotel were, as
class, people in medium even poorly,
| circumstances They we're employed
mostly in the linseed oil mills, in
| livery barns and in restaurants and
| department stores.

Twentieth Round.
San Francisco. Dec. 21-At the end
Of the twentieth round Of the contest
between Jimmy Britt Of San Fran
cisco and battling" Nelson of Chica-
60, with the men fighting like pair
Of bulldogs, the gong sounded the end
Of the battle and Referee Roche un-
hesitatingly placed his hand on the
Californian as the winner of the con-
test In the closing round Britt was
punching the Chicago boy all over the
ring but his blows lacked the suf1.
cient force to put quietus on his op-
ponent. The fight was an exemplif1
cation of how much punishment hu-
man being can endure and not sue
cumb. At several stages of the fight
Nelson was badly punished but he al
ways kept gamely coming up to the
firing line and all through the twenty
rounds he forced the fighting. In one
or two instances he had the local boy
in distress but Britt's excellent gen.
eralship and the advice of his Sec
onds saved him from going too close
to the danger point.

from all that can be learned the trag.

Mukden, Dec. 21.-Deserters from
the Japanese army are arriving her
daily. They report there is much suf
fering from hunger, but more from
cold among the Japanese troops.
Many Chinese bandits in the service
OF the Japanese are going to Mongo-
liza, which fact is taken as indicating
that they are not being paid.
The Japanese are changing the ar
ranging of the brigades and divisions,

information brought to Russian head
quarters by Chinese and deserters,
but the strength of the Japanese re-
mains about the same.
Excellent coal is being supplied for

"DCRUM" WHEAT

Bulletin No. 70. of the Bureau Of
Plant Industry, Agricultural Depart
ment, Washington, is devoted to the
commercial status Of durum wheat,
says the Farm, Stock and Home. Dur.
UNI is the name now given to what
has heretofore been Improperly called
macaroni wheat. Macaroni was an
unfortunate name because it implied
that it was good for making macar-
oni only, and that no other wheat
was capable of making that sort of
food, and neither proposition is true.
Durum wheat makes excellent bread,
makes the best macaroni, in all forms.
and is also superior to ether wheats
for making several of the cereal
breakfast foods. that are now largely
consumed. Hence this wheat deserves
a more comprehensive name, and the
one chosen-which means "hard," ia
q good one and will doubtless be
common to all countries where it is
grown or used.
The bulletin seems to demonstrate
that the many uses to which dulum
wheat can be put justiAes It's growing
on a large scale, and this Is very
cheering. because Of the hardness,
prolidcness and many other superior
growing qualities of this wheat. IL
1901 only 100, 700 bushels of durum
wheat were grown in the United
States; in 1908 6, 900, 600 bushels were
produced, and the present years pro-
duction is doubtless very much larger.
Yet its price has been steadily advano-
ing and recently sales were reported In
Minneapolis at over 81 bushel. while
three years ago 1t could find no buyer
in the markets except for stock feed.
Durum wheat is richer than other
sorts in the most valuable nutritive
elements. and its consumption seem
destined to increase as RAPIDLY as its
production. It now appears certain
that durum wheat will prove to BIZ an
agricultural acquisition of enormous
value.
