Alexander Larron, horse thief, who
Is probably the most noted criminal

them during the week preceding
Christmas. About three-quarters of
these were out of town shoppers who
found 1t an ideal place in which to
rest, leave parcels, or make appoint

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
INJURED THREE
They Were in Room When
Crash Came-A Leaking
Gasoline Can.

Christ Kelley, Oscar Fossum and
Ralph Stevenson met with a horrible
accident at Hannah, as result of
which they are confined to their beds
in very critical condition. The three
men have been patching" and arriving
home in the evening proceeded to make
supper. A fire was started in the
kitchen range and after few minutes
terrible explosion occurred in the
room, throwing the three men to the
floor and enveloping the entire room
in flames. Mr.. Kelley finally succeed
ed in getting into an adjoining room
from which he reached the outside
landing. The door leading into the
kitchen was still locked but he suc-
ceeded in battering this in and drag
glng his companions out and down the
stairs. The clothing of all three men
was afire, and after rolling around in
the snow until this was extinguished
they hurried back to the scene If
the explosion and succeeded in putting
out the fire in the room.
How they ever managed to do all
this is a mystery, as the exposed
parts of their bodies were literally
burned crisp.
The explosion was caused by gas
oline fumes, which had filled the room
from leaky gasoline brazer used in
the kitchen for boiling coffee. The
room had filled with gas during the
absence OF the men, and after the
air in the room reached a certain
temperature the explosion occurred.
The ceiling in the room was raised
about an inch and the walls forced
out in places, indicating the terrific
conclusion. All the solder in a milk
strainer was melted out, while the
wall on which it was hanging was
barely scorched, showing how intense
the heat in the room must have been.
The unfortunate victims of the ac-
cident are burned beyond all recog-
milton, their faces and hands beng
literally roasted and the hair singed
of.
They are receiving the best of care
and attention, and DR.. Tyvand, the
medical attendant, has hopes of bring
ing them out all right
Christ Kelley seems to have received
the most terrible burns, and his case
is considered to be quite serious, al

Supt. Macy Nicholson's Private Car No.
Is on Fire in G. N. Yards
This Noon.

More evidence that "13" is a most
unlucky number, and that it's reputa-
ton as such is deserved, developed in
the Great Northern yards this noon,
when the private car of Supt. Macy
Nicholson of the Dakota division,
caught fire from an over-heated coal
stove, and was damaged on the interi-
or to the extent Of probably 5000.
The "car in the case" bears the No.
alb" Possibly the fact that Mr..
Nicholson's name contains thirteen let
tiers also had something to do with
arousing the hoodoo.
The city fire department responded
to call and by the use of extinguish-
ers soon had the smudge smothered,
not before the rich interior had been
badly damaged, however.

Beresford was reputed to be very rich,
