there Is no cure except by an operation.

Duluth Minn.,s Feb. "A sensation was
sprung in district court today when Miss Flos-
sic McCutcheon of Superior was arraigned on
charge of forgery. Miss McCutcheon has
begun a damage suit against A. II. Powers a
prominent logger and mining man of Hibbing

procure requisition papers In order that she
might be taken into custody on bench war

serted by Mr. silliman that he had some ac-
counts against her for collection and that she
now exhibits a receipt for $780, purporting TO
be from him as representative Of one of her
creditors. Mr.. silliman declares the paper to DC

HOUSE IN FLAMES;
NAN FOUND DEAD
TRAGEDY NEAR CARMEL is
CLOTHED IN MYSTERY.
Albert Flyers, Visited at Night by
Neighbor, Is Later Discovered Dead
in His Yard with Blood on the
Snow Near By-Theory Accepted
Eliminates Charge Of Foul Play.
Special to Tho journal.

Special to Tho Journal.
Thief River Falls, Mimi, Feb. 2.-Albert
Hyers, farmer living near Carmel, was found
dead in his yard last night by Louis Kittleson,
u neighbor.
Kittleson went to the home OF Hyers to spend
the evening but left about 8 o'clock, and short
ly after reaching his own home, some eighty
rods distant, was startling by the sound of rine
shots in the direction Of Flyers house. he
ran back and was surprised to find the house
in flames and Flyers body lying on tho ground
near a window. His face was cut and there
was blood the snow near by.
The generally accepted theory of the affair
is that after Kittleson left Hyers filled up bis
stove and went to bed and that the stove,
becoming overheated. set fire to tho house. Flyers
woke up and, being blinded by the smoke. is
supposed to have thrown himself through the
window. He had gun in the house. and the
heat probably caused the cartridges to explode
thus accounting for the gun shots.
Hyers was single man and is supposed tc
have had money about his house. Some have
limited at foul play for this reason, but this Il
not probable
