~ FIRE. NJ 4

Linton, N. D., Dec. 10.-Fire broke
out at 10: 30 Friday morning in the
elevator shaft Of DR.. Hogue's new
hotel. The flames ran up the shaft
from the basement to the roof Fire
fighters climbed to the ), top of the
building by means Of ladders placed
against the outside of the building
and cut holes through the roof and
thus saved the structure from being
completely Quilted. The lowest esti-
mate of the loss is $500 covered by
insurance ETA Z.
The building is the largest and
most substantial in the town. It is
three stories high with basement
and is built entirely of North Dakota

A Washington dispatch says:
Representative Marshall of North Da-
Rota has been busy getting his letters
regarding the car shortage together in
proper form for presentation to the
interstate commerce commission. He
has received more than 100 letters in
reply to his request for information
and yesterday had talk with Com
missioner Lane regarding them.
The letters cover in detail the ques-
ton Of shortage and the commission
is now thoroughly satisfied that the
shortage exists and that it is quite as
serious as has been reported. 1t is
therefore unnecessary that further
evidence be collected along this line.
!: What the commission now wants.
Mr.. Lane says, is everything possible
from northwestern people in the way
Of suggestions looking to remedies.
While Representative Marshall was
going over the situation with Commits
sioner Lane, he evinced such a re-
markable grasp of the situation that
the commission asked him if he could
possibly get away from the con-
gressional duties for the purpose of
returning to the northwest and assist
ing in the work of collecting testi-
mony Mr. Marshall said that he
would be glad to go if by so doing he
could be of any help. Mr.. Lane re-
piled that he could be of great help
and it was agreed that Mr.. Marshall
should leave Washington on time to
arrive in Minneapolis by Saturday
the Sth, and in North Dakota by Mon
day morning.
1t viii be Mr.. Marshall's duty to
! look up evidence of character that
the commission wants to see that men
who are competent to testify are
rounded up and brought to Minneapo-
Ills. He will spend the week in
| travelling over his state and in writing
and telegraphing constituents regard
ing the shortage. #,. ., .s5 ...@

Pics As DRAUaHr ANIMALS.
Sow that Gould Retrieve Birds
Four-in-Hand of PiEB.

Sow that Could Retrieve Btrds-
F~Our-in-Hand of Pirs.
In many countries and V so near
as Scotland the pig has served the pur-
pose Of a beast Of draught and has ac-
tually been harnessed to the pillow in
company with cows and horses. In
Scotland also early in the last century
pigs were sometimes made to serve as
chargers and proved most docile
mounts, says the London Express.
The homing instinct is strongly de
veloped in the pig. Instances not in
frequently occur Of pigs finding their
way back to farms whence they have
been conveyed. There is a record Of
two pigs homing nine miles, and cross
ing the Thames to boot, to their old
farm, whence they had been driven to
Reading market and bought by q local
gentleman on the previous day. At one
point on their homeward journey where
two roads met the twain were observ-
ed putting their noses together as II
In deep consultation"
About 1915 a London gentleman Gre
ated a sensation by driving a four-in-
hand Of pigs through the streets, and
thirty years later an old farmer caused
amusement to a great crowd in the
market place at st. Adams by entering
1t In a chaise drawn by four trottlng
hogs. After two or three turns round
the market be drove to the Woolpack
yard, where his curious steeds were un-
harnessed and led away to be RECALLED
with a trough of beans and wash.
There have also been sporting pigs.
An old account Of a black SOW which
Richard Tooner, one of the royal keep
ers In the New Forest, broke to find
game and to bask and stand says:
within a fortnight she would find and
point cartridges or rabbits and her
training was much forwarded by the
abundance Of both. She daily imprOv-
ed and In a few weeks would retrieve
birds that had run as well as the best
pointer nay, her nose was superior to
the best pointer"
According to LinnRus, "the hog Is
more nice in the selection of his vege-
table diet than any Of our homestead
ed h%erbivorous animals" Thus In one
respect the pig may be said to be ar
epicure. Linneus states that the AMI
NAL will eat only seventy-twO plants
as against the goats 449, the Sleeps
3l7, the cows 276 and the horses 262

Charlotte, N. G., July 24.-More
than 20 persons were killed and more
than that number were injured as a
result Of a head on collision between
a through eastbound passenger train
and an extra freight near Rocking
ham, N. c., four miles west of Ham
let. Many of the victims are said to
be negroes.
Officials of the road attribute the
disaster to the failure of the telegraph
operator at Rockingham to deliver or
ders to the passenger train. AS soon
as the news of the wreck reached
Hamlet a wrecking engine was sent
out and hurried to the scene
The passenger train, No. A, was
ruaping from Florida to the north.
Engineer f. B. Lewis of Hamlet and
Fireman Tom Hill of the passenger
train were killed. The negro fireman
of the freight train is also said to
have been killed while the engineer
saved himself by jumping.
Only a few Of the bodies eXtricated
from the wreck have been identified.
| Both trains were practically destroy
| ed, and they blocked the track.
