FIRE is TANNED BY 4 GALE.
Canton Blaze Causes Twenty Thou
sand Dollar Loss.

Canton Blaze Causes Twenty Thou
sand Dollar Loss.
The firecest and most destructive
fire IN the history OF Canton occurred
Friday morning during terrific
northwest gale. which carried burning
chunks or wood from the Mutual
Lumber company's yard several blocks
towards the Sioux river. and even
across into Iowa.
At 1880 the fire alarm was given,
and In few minutes the entire upper
story Of the big double shed of the
Mutual Lumber company was blazing
nifty feet high under pressure of 4
fifty-mile gale
The flremen worked like heroes AMI
saved the Howman-Kranz lumber
yard across the street over which the
blaze rolled AT times.
Burning embers set fire several
times and finally consumed the Mil
waukee pump house, on the river
bank, Ave blocks away. At ? o'clock
the IRE was under control, but in one
hour and a half $4,000 worth OK
lumber and shingles had been con-
sumed.
The platform Of The Milwaukee de-
pot and other railroad property was
on IRE at times. but hundreds of
watchers were able to keep the fire
from spreading while three engines
hauled freight cars out OF danger.
The fire was without doubt of in
eendiary origin. The loss is about
$4,000; Insurance. $4,000. G. L.
Pray. OF Lake City. Ia, and Canton
men owned the property which was
destroyed.

Declared Bankrupt.

Move 60 Have Sioux Falls Company
Declared Bankrupt.
A suit has been commenced I'm the
United States court by which It is
bought to have the Sioux Falls Pack
Ing company declared an involuntary
bankrupt. The order to show cause
| Is returnable before Judge Garland on
April 20, when the defendant company
will be required to show cause why
llt should not be adjudged an involun-
tary bankrupt
It I'd alleged in the application OF
the creditors that the company Is In
solvent and that within four months
next preceding the date of the appli-
cation the company committed an act
Of bankruptcy, IN that a receiver,
Charles A. Wiley. of Sioux Falls, was
appointed by the state circuit court
for the company.
1t is further alleged in the petition
that the receiver now remains In
charge OF all the property of the COM
pany. The packing company was or
ganixed about two years ago and con-
structed a plant on the Sioux river, In
the northern part of the city The
plant was operated for n time. but
some weeks ago went into the hands
of receiver. who. after giving the
necessary published notice. recently
sold the plant TO w. III. Green, of Ban
gor s. d.
For some unknown reason the fact
that the plant was sold by the re-
ceiver il ignored in the petition of the
creditors who oy the present suit now
seek to have the company declared an
Involuntary bankrupt

BUILDING UP UNIVERSITY.
Record Breaking Attendance Expectet
Next Fall.

Record Breaking Attendance Expected
Next Fall.
President r. B. Gault is doing all
In HIS power TO build up the state uni
versity at yermiilion, and It will be
no fault OF his If the beginning Of the
next school years does not witness the
largest attendance in the history Of
South Dakota's leading educational
institution.
/ In the past two colleges have been
lacking to make the state university
what II should be. but as a result Of
an action OF the board of regents The
needs will be supplied by next fall. To
the college OF arts and sciences. coll
iegs OF law and college of music, will
now be added college of medicine
and college OF engineering.
Heretofore IL has been possible for
students who planned on a medical
course to take their first two years
work at the university. This work is
in the nature OF scientific preparation.
But II transpires that regular medical
schools will not accept the work OF
the university for the first two years
simply because OF the fact that no
chartered college OF medicine exists at
the institution. To overcome this OBJ
stacle and TO give each student who
desires TO remain here an opportunity
TO do work which W count college
of medicine has been authorized by
the board OF regents. Eventually this
means that full course In medicine
win be given.
