q, Early Wednesday morning at the
farm Of John Bohnenkamp, seven
miles southwest of Cogswell in Sar-
gent county, six men were sleeping
in the barn which caught on fire in
some manner, probably from a pipe in
the clothing of one Of the men or
through the careless handling of
matches. Two OF the men we're
burned to death, third will die OF
his burns, two more we're seriously
burned but will recover and the sixth
man escaped unscratched. -Four hor-
ses, three colts, three sets OF harness,
six hogs, seven head Of cattle and
ONE grain are among the losses. The
barn was valuable structure and
there vas no Insurance. The men
who slept in the structure were Ia
borers employed on the Bohnenkamp
farm and thele names have not been

Charles Lundquist,a Driscoll BUTCH
er, lies at st. Alexlus hospital suffer-
ing from gunshot wound in the hip
inflicted bv highwayman who en-
deavored to rob him as he was driv-
ing home from Bismarck Friday
night. When near Driscoll,a man rose
from the road side, ordered Lund-
quist to throw up his hands at the
point of a pistol. The suddenness OF
the mans appearance frightened the
horses, and all Lundquist's attention
was given to trying to pull them IN.
SEEING that his man was about to get
away the bandit ran to the side OF
the wagon and fired, the ball striking
Lunduuist on the left leg just below
the hip and passing upward to the
thigh: LundQuist had both feet On
tbe-top OF the dash board which &C.
counts for the position of the wound.
This fact probably saved his life, as
had not his leg been In the line OF
fire the ball would probably have
entered his abdomen. As it is the
wound is probably not dangerous. A
posse of dozen mounted men armed
with rifles and shot guns was MADE
up at once at Driscoll and searched
for the robber, but so far without re-
suits.
Wishek News: William Gordon, the
champion corn raiser OF Mcintosh
county, has presented US with a fine
samrle oof his ninetyday white dent
corn fully developed and ripe. The
stalks are seven feet high, and he
tells US they were cut of about six
inches above the ground atthat. The
ears average foot long and and are
beauties. Mr.. Gordon will 20 into the
hog business next year now that he
has established the fact that he can
raise Just as good corn In Mcintosh
county, as he ever raised in Iowa.
He has about four acres Of this corn
and estimates the yield to be Is BUSH
els to The acre.
Because he refused to deed his
property into bis wife's name, John
Bolan of Glendale, who has enjoyed
married life only one short week, was
so badly mauled by his wife that he
is 10 serious condition. Rev. Faith
or Gallahue vas brought into police
court to answer to charge Of assault
and battery and pleaded not guilty.
Bolan swore that the priest and bis
wife tried to get him to deed his
property to her and upon his refusal
they set upon him and pounded him
until he was unconscious. His wife,
for the apparent reason Of shielding
Gallahue, testified that she only
pounded Bolan. Notwithstanding
the court saw fit to impose fine up
on the priest.
