FIRE in A Mine
near KENMARE
FARGoANs ARE INTERESTED IN
THE OWNERSHIP.
The Mine Caught Fire Last July and
Has Been Burning Steadily Ever
since-Fine Grade Of Ignite in the
Mine.

Kenmare, n. D., March 11.--Much
concernment is being felt in regard to
the fire which is raging in the coal
mine which is known as the 500 mine
The fire originated in some unknown
way last July and has since spread
throughout several OF the large entries.
Two entries lead into the mine, which,
together with the air shaft. permits
considerable draught in the interior Of
the mine and gives life to the flames.
No one in particular has given the
matter any attention until now when
lit is evident that unless the fire is soon
checked great damage win result.
In the immediate vicinity Of this
mine is our best grade of Ignite coal
and should the fire be undisturbed in
its destructiveness these valuable veins
would eventually be consumed.
The property was filed on by jas.
Vidal of Fargo, but is now controlled
by by his wife, who is being commun-
icated with. If the matter does not re-
ceive her Immediate attention, local
parties who have property in that VII
cinity will make an effort to extinguish
the burning mass.

Jerome Lines Up His
Forces in RebuttaI
Efforts to Lay Foundation for Introduction of Aft
davit Signed by Evelyn Thaw Blocked
by Attorney Delmas

New York, March 11.-Lining up his
forces in rebuttal in the case of Harry
K. Thaw, District Attorney Jerome be-
gan today an endeavor to lay the foun-
dation for the Introduction of the affi-
davit said to have been made by Eve
lyn Nesbit in the office of Abraham H.
Hummel He was blocked at every
turn, however, by the objections from
Delmas counsel for the defense, and
he soon switched to the testimony of
the policemen, who saw Thaw the
night of his arrest, and who declared
his actions to them seemed to be those
OF a rational man. Mr. Delmas asked
one of the officers il he had not over
heard Thaw in his cell say he had
heard the voices of women crying out.
The officer said there had been no
such statement in his hearing.
The foundation of the testimony by
which the prosecution in the Thaw
murder case hopes to discredit the
witnesses who swore that Thaw was
irrational on the night of the shooting
of Stanford White, viii be laid with
the testimony of Anthony Debbs, a
policeman on the roof garden, who
saw the shots fired. A fireman wfF
aided in making the arrest and

were in the station house when the

prisoner was arraigned and who noted
his demeanor when he asked Reporter
McElhone if it was necessary that he
(Thaw) give his real name. McEl-
hone will be summoned to rebut the
testimony of Martin Green, another re-
porter, who testified that the manner
of the defendant Immediately after the
shooting was not rational Following
these witnesses Drs. Mcdonald, Flint
and Mabon will probably take the
stand. The district attorney has sew
eral other alienists whose names have
not yet been made public and they too
are expected to take the witness stand.
Frederick w. Longfellow was the
first witness called by District Attor-
ney Jerome when the Thaw trial open
ed this morning. Longfellow formerly
was Thaw's attorney Longfellow was
stopped from giving any definite tes-
timony as to Ethel Thomas suit on
the ground that he was acting as
Thaw's counsel and his dealings with
him were confidential.
Police Captain Hodgins was the first
witness in the Thaw case this after
noon. He testified that on the night
of the tragedy Thaw seemed more ra-
tional than irrational He was not
cross examined. DIR. Rudolph Withaus,
expert chemist, was called by Jerome
to testify as to the effect of drugs in
the wine.
