DISTRICT COURT SESSION ENDS
More Jury Work at Madison Than for
Several Years Past.

Judge Boyd and Court Reporter
Powers came to Norfolk Saturday from
Madison, where they had been in at
tendance all week at the session of
district court In the case from Battle
Creek in which two laborers sought to
recover $4,000 damages from the city
marshal and Howard Miller. because
the labOrers were locked in Jail for a
short time, the defendants were given
the verdict and the laborers were Civ
en- no judgment.
In this case it seems that at Battle
Creek the city board passed an ordi-
nance providing for the digging of a
ditch. The ditch was to pass through
property of Howard Miller, who re-
fused TO allow the ditch to be dug and
who ordered his men, if the ditch was
dug, to refill the hole. This they did
and for doing so they were arrested
and lodged in Jail for a short time.
This Imprisonment they considered
worth $4,000 damage to their feelings.
There was more jury work done at
this session than for several years and
the docket was quite well cleaned up.
There was a full week of jury cases.

HEROIC ACT OF THE FATHER
Rushes to the Rescue of His Children,
Only to Go Down With Them to a
Living He'll of Flames - Calamity
Overtakes Minnesota Business Man.

CroOkstOn, Mimi, Dec. Is. - En-.
tombed in living hell by the fire
tiend Peter Martell, for nine years a
carriage maker of Red Lake Falls, his
wife, Jane, aged 27, little Eddie, aged
10; Dan, Aged 8, and Annie, aged II,
were burned to a crisp in their home
in the heart of Red Lake Falls.
The story of the horrible fire, the
anguish of the parent at the sight of
his loved ones in the seething mass of
fire and his heroic effort to save their
lives, by rushing into the roaring mass
of flames, through a secondstory win
dow, Is one of the most awful on rec

Martell, who was sleeping down
3 o'clock by the smell of smoke and
the sight of fire.
Jane and the three children, Eddie,
Dan and Annie, were asleep in the up.
per chamber, and the father, frantic
with fright, made a rush for the stair
etrable flames.
He then rushed to the barn, carry
ing with him his trousers, which he
had not time to put on, and seizing a
ladder placed it to the second story
window of the home.
An eye witness, Mrs. Michalson,
aroused by the fire, says he broke in
the glass and entered the sleeping
room of his wife and babes, as he did
so there was an awful roar.
The upper story of the building,
weakened by the fire, had fallen in,
precipitating the mother, heroic father
and the three children to the veritable
hell of fire below
Before the fire department at Red
Lake Falls could stop the fire the
house consisted of four blazing posts
and mass of wreckage, with the
charred and blackened remains of the
five unfortunate members of the fam
lily in a heap burned to a crisp in the
center.

from the Rock County Leader, will
become a fact in the near future. A
number of well known men have fled
articles of incorporation with the sec

new road will be the Midland Central.
The new line will run from Spaulding,
Neb., in Greely county, to Sprlngview,
in Keya Paha county-the county seat.
The road has a capital of half mil
lion dollars The incorporators are
e. l.. Myers, C. NJ. Thompson, c. A.

will be Newport, in Rock county.
The new line will be part of the

Union Pacific at Spalding.
The road will run through Greedy,
Wheeler, Holt, Rock and Keya Paha
counties, into the big cattle and range
