the hope of saving the sick mans life
and he and his wife who, with Rev.

Glasston. N. D., April 3O.-This city
was practically wiped out by fire
which started in the drug store of
George F. Erskine at 1890 last night,
few minutes after the place was
closed. The drug store and its con-
tents were entirely destroyed, invo1v-
ing loss of between $500 and $500
with 5000 insurance. From this the
flames spread to small building,
which was also destroyed involving
loss of $500 or $500 without any in
surance. The post Office next fell a
victim to the hungry flames and the
building and fixtures were entirely de-
stroyed. The mail and stamps were
saved, but Postmaster Robert White
lost everything he had. The. store
building of the Quigley Bros. was
destroyed. The lower story was
vacant but the upper ones were occu-
pied by the owners of the building.
John Quigley. one of the partners, suf-
fered total loss of his property,
amounting to something like $500. The
loss sutained by Patrick Quigley, the
other member of the firm,r was not SO
heavy. being about $3.50, A small
vacant house belonging to- j. w. Ar
thur was entirely destroyed and then
the flames leaped to the store of Mr..
Arthur, destroying both building and
contents. causing a loss of something
like $4,000 to $500 with $1,000 insur-
ance. The flames stopped here be-
cause there was nothing more for
them to consume. The village was
without means of fighting the flames.

BOY TAKEN TO
JAMESTOWN
Sheriff G. G. Hankey OF Walsh County
Passed Through Saturday Evening
With Youth Mentally Dcranged-
Sees Electricity and Other Things.

Sheriff C. c. Hankey of Walsh
county passed through the city Sat-
urday evening enrOute for the state
asylum at jamestown having in GUS
tody a boy of about II years of age
who is being taken there for treat
ment. The unfortunate is the son of
a wealthy farmer living west of Graf
ton whose name is withheld by re-
quest of relatives. 1t is their hope
that the young man may be benefited
by treatment at the state institution.
During spells of mental derange-
ment, the young man imagines him
self supercharged with electricity and
that the air about him is filled with
beautiful as well as weird figures,
glowing balls of fire and his actions at
this time are strange, even alarming.
He shouts, gesticulates and stomps
his feet. working himself into a frenzy
and being OF an ungovernable temper
he is menace to the lives of others
near, him, ii interfered with.
Sheriff Hankey had something of
time with the boy at Grafton Friday
evening when he brought him in and
placed him in the, Jail. When the
prisoner discovered his plight and tfat
he was behind iron bars. he pro-
ceeded to wreck everything possible
in the room, and chung to the iron bars
of the cell with such tenacity that it
was almost impossible to pull him
away and remove him to a cell where
he would be unable to do himself in
jury.
The father accompanied his son and
the party stopped over in Fargo Satur-
day evening leaving in the morning
for jamestown.

companies in Hartford, his home city,
lost approximately $S0,O0O,OO0 The
insurance men have decided to in

NO INCREASE
LIKELY
Report That Insurance Rates in North
Dakota and Minnesota Will be
Boosted Denied-Probability Of De.
crease Lessened.

The recent report that fire insur-
ance rates in Minnesota and North
Dakota would be increased as a re-
suit of the heavy losses in San Fran
cisco and other California points, fol-
lowing the earthquake shocks, appears
not to have been we'll founded. In
surance Commissioner T. D. O'Brien
of st. Paul does not think the losses
of the companies in San Francisco
will result in an increase in rates.
He thinks the excellent showing made
by most of the companies during the
past year will enable them to increase
their surplus without raising the
rates.
However, all prospects of substan~
tial decrease in rates are set at
naught by the heavy losses the in
surance companies doing general
business in the United States will ex-
perience as a result of the San Fran
cisco calamity. According to the St.
Paul man there has been an insistent
demand from all the northwestern
states for lowering of rates. EsJ
pecially is this true as to Fargo and
Grand Forks, where the excellent fire
records of the past two years seem
to warrant a reduction.
Last year was particularly good
year for the fire companies. The loss
ratio was low and there was general
prosperity for all the principal COM
panies. Just before the disaster, it is
fntimated, the large companies were
considering substantial decrease in
rates throughout the country; but the
San Francisco experience will make
the companies tighten up so that no
reduction is likely to take place for
There are many lessons to be learn
ed from the effect of the catastrophe
on the general business of the COM
panies: 1t shows what a necessity
there is for large surplus, generally
known as reinsurance reserve. This
has been brought home to the COM
panies forcibly.

A rather sensational scene was en-
acted on Sunday evening at Larimore
in the presence of crowd of perhaps
two hundred persons, when w. Jones
attempted to shoot j. Wimberly, as the
form of Great Northern train No. 6.
Both parties are colored. Wimberly be-
ing a porter on Pullman car and
Jones, a man living at Larimore. The
trouble, it seems, was over a colOred
BELLE of whom both men are enam-
ored. Chief of Police Fadden stood on
the depot platform when the shooting
occurred and he Immediately arrested
Jones and the colored lady, whose
name has not been learned. Prior to
the shooting Jones addressed few
words to Wimberly and then. whipping
out a revolver, he shot twice, missing
him both times. People standing
nearby narrowly escaped the bullets.
Jones was arraigned late this af-
ternoon and waived examination. He
was accordingly bound over to the
action of the next grand jury on
charge of assault with dangerous
weapon. He will be brought to this
city this evening and lodged in the
county Jail. Train No. 6 gets into
