done SO since, as it never had done
so before, and now that debt is prac-

To control the tongue is one Of the

fected by disease. And the remarkable
fact that it never tires physically rem
ders it the most potent Of all the parts
Of the body. Every other species Of

but that which emanates from the

it is more easy to offend here, not SO

FIRE DESTROYS
FRISCO HOTEL
Building a Mass Of Flames
When Discovered Inmates
Narrowly Escape.

The Frisco hotel was completely de-
stroyed by fire at an early hour this
morning.
The fire was discovered at exactly
/. twelve O'Clock by City Marshal Riden-
@hour, who Immediately sounded the
alarm that brought the fremen to the
scene in double quick. Although
scarcely two minutes elapsed from the
time the fire was discovered until the
firemen reached the scene, ii was found
that the building had been burning on
the inside for some time before dis
covered
The inmates Of the house were
aroused and barely had time to escape,
some Of them In only their night
clothes, others bare foot and hatless.
The ilremen, seeing that it would
be impossible to save this building,
directed their efforts to saving others
in the immediate vicinity. The Huitt
rooming house, less than ten feet from
the burning bailding, was saved with
out damage w. B. Coley's house and
barn were saved, although the wind
sent the flames directly toward them.
The barn, In which barrel Of gasoline
was kept, was in the greatest danger.
The roof caught several times bat the
building was saved without damage.
r. ID. Harris, who came here from
Missouri less than three months ago
and bought out Mrs. Mccoy, was the
landlord Of the Frisco. Mr. Harris Is
a widower with six children, and as
he carried no insurance the loss is a
severe one to him.
The building was two story struc-
ture, erected by Mrs. II. C. Cook about
eleven years ago, but at present the
property Of w. f. Balsell and it is
said he carried no insurance on the
building.
The origin Of the fire is not known,
but it Is supposed to have caught In
the kitchen.
with the high wind that was blow
ing and the building being a dry
wooden affair, the fire was an exceed
ingly hard one to control but a contin-
uous stream Of water from three noz-
zles soon began to have its effect and
the fire was finally extinguished, leay-
inf only the front end and room
adjoining on the east standing.
Mrs W. B. Ccley made the fire boys
some fine coffee, which was duly ap-
preciated by them.

Ogden, utah.-Details of an exciting
buffalo chase, which occurred recently,
were brought to Ogden the other day.
A resume of the record shows that part
of the time the buffalo was chased and
part of the time he was the chaser.
The animal was a large thick-necked
bull, and the presumption is that ne
came from the buffalo preserve on Ante
lope island, wading over through the
shallow water between the island and
mainland. But be that as 1t may, he was
discovered by three men of a salt COM
pany and they set about to capture him.
Before nightfall X, L. Taylor had
learned that it is not so easy to corner
a buffalo bull as it is to corner a salt
business, and George b. Wardlaw, who
saw service with the Utah batteries in
many a battle with Filipinos, had
learned for once in his life how to re-
treat. Bert Farr, another Ogden man,
had come into the knowledge of several
things, among them the fact that bull
buffalos can outrun the best of s~printers
and can break all records at vaulting.
Immediately on discovering the
strange animal near their salt pens, the
three boys set about to effect his capture
His majesty could not be enticed by any
persuasive arts and the boys planned
to corner him in an angle of some of the
fences. The buffalo had made other
plans, He had no objection to being
cornered, but he objected to remaining
cornered. He would amble into an angle

vault over easily, running away a short
distance and hardly deigning to notice
his pursuers.
But the pursuers, who were armed
only with willow switehes--they left
their rifles in camp for fear that they
might be tempted to shoot the noble
beast-noticed that the animal was old,
and the exertion of vaulting fences and
racing across pastures seemed to worry
him. Finally they SO deployed their
forces as to get the bull into the corner
of a high fence, and the attacking party
closed rapidly In from three directions.
His bullship was tired OF jumping
fences, and he whirled around suddenly
with lowered head, snoring SO that the
dust rose under his nostfils.
The pursuers Immediately changed
their tactics. The bull started In our
suit, but gave up the effort as useless and
started to munching grass. Again the
young men renewed their attack and
carefully decoyed the Dull TO the neigh
borhood of the big attle corral of
Kessler's ranch. Once within the fences
of this corral the bull would be securely
fastened.
The bull evidently knew this, for when
the well-planned rush same that was to
stampede him into the corral he
stampeded all right, bit passed by the
open gateway, over tie walls of the
chute and away across the prairie at a
rate which thoroughly established his

That evening the buffalo was still

In the spring of 1883 a Canadian gold

mining camp not far from Nome, Alas
ka, and cast his lot with the hetero-
geneous assemblage Of miners, gamblers

for Three Days Before Being
Brought to Bay His
Deeds of Violence.

Lorain, O.-On the point of capture
BY a sheriff's posse, Peter Pitts, the
maniac who for three days terrorized
the countryside from Avon Beach to
Lorain, shot himself dead the other day
in full view of the band of armed farm
ers who were pursuing him.
For three days he ran amuck through
q territory of 20 miles in extent, firing
upon men and women, burning farm
houses and driving people from their
homes to places of safety in the city.
Young, powerfully built, cunning, Pitts
as a maniac was more dangerous than a
sane man, however vicious, would have
been. Farmers were afraid to approach
him, even with loaded rifles and shot
guns.
Pitts first deed of violence was when
he fired thrice from a cornfield upon
Miss Mary Heckler. His next was when
he set the torch to the Heckler home
stead, burning it to the ground. After
ward he attempted to fire another house,
but was driven away.
Two days later he piled ties on the
tracks of the Lake Shore electric line,
but the motorman of the Toledo Linz
tied car discovered the obstruction in
time to avert mishap.
The country was aroused. Women
and children sought shelter in the ham
lets and in Lorain. The men formed
themselves into armed companies and
secured the land from Avon to Lorain,
ready to kill the man on sight. That
night 500 men paroled the highroads,
