STARTSROUGH TIME:
John Rustum Sets Upa Strong Fight
When Taken to Jail

Tuesday morning John Rustum, q
young man who has been out on
parole from the Jamestown insane
asylum since last summer, was
brought to this city by Albert John
son and Alfred Newhouse. He was
turned over to Sheriff Belford, who had
a hard time in getting John to accom-.
pany him to the jail. The services OF
three men had to be enlisted, and then
the crazy man had to be tied, and CON
veyed to the jail in a wagon. 1t seems
that Rustum, who had been making
his home with his brother, Hans,
three miles east of the city. had got
ten hold OF some liquor the day be-
fore. He soon became violent, and
was soon unmanageab1e. He is said
to be quiet and tractable when not
drinking, but; that whiskey seems to
mentally unhinge him. >.5.<.. a

!: In the afternoon Rsutum was taken
upstairs before Judge Henry. Here
he once more became violent and aim
ed /. a vicious blow ct the face Of a
bystander., This was luckily warded
on by the man quickly raising his arm
to his face. He was once more sub
jected by the sheriff and taken below,
The authorities at: Jamestown were

the general merchandise store OF
William D. Millar at Webster was en-
tered by burglars, who made away
with fur lined coat. Their real in

safe Of the postoffice In the reaE OF
the building. This they did, but only
succeeded in making away with 81 Id
currency, which was all that the saS@
contained: Sheriff Belford was COM
municated with, and he has offered a
reward OF s25 for the arrest and con-
yiction of the perpetrators. No trace
of them thus far has been secured.
This; is the second time the post.

" vvtS Lost Last Week

essor L. G. Mills lost his case
fore Judge Duell last week. Mr..
Mills was suing the board Of the Lake
consolidated school to recover two
months back salary, which he claim
ed was due him. It seems that he
was principal of that school last win
ter, having uhaer his charge one ass
sistant. Along in the dead of winter,
during January and February, it was
found impossible to keep up' che
school on account of the roads being
|impassible, so much so that the school
busses had to suspend operations, and
the fuel also ran out. Mr.. Mills had a
contract signed by Gus Furstenau,
the president of the board, providing
for nine months school year. AS he
only in reality taught seven months
the teacher brought suit for the other
two months pay, claiming a breach
of contract. However, during the
trial it developed that Mr.. Furstenar
offered to let Mr.. Mills keep schoo
| for two months longer in the summer
time, thereby making up the nine
months as provided by the contract
On account of his assistants refusing
to work during the summer months
Mr.. Mills could not accept this pre

FIRE AT G0LDBERG'S
Flames Smoke and Water Damage a
Large Portion of Immense Stock

About s: 80 o'clock in the evening of
Christmas eve, when the streets were
lined with shoppers, hurrying to COM
plete their odds and ends of Christ
mas buying, the fire whistle apprised
the citizens of this city that the volun-
teer department were wanted, and
wanted at once. Soon after the call
was sounded dense clouds of smoke
were seen issuing from J. Goldburg's
furniture store. The lights in the
building we're all out, but from the
windows small tongues of fame could
be frequently seen darting hither and
.thither arnonst the furniture, of which
there was a large holiday stock on
hand. A large crowd quickly gathered
on the sidewalk on the opposite ST.
of the street and soon the fire del
ment were on the scene. The boys
did excellent work, quickly connected
the hose to a plug, and in a very short
time had several streams of water
playing on the burning building. The
large stock of furniture was most of it
moved out into the street. Had the
wind been blowing the gale that It
kept up all day, nothing would have
saved the building and also the adjoin-
Ing ones from complete ruin. AS it
was, the fire was extinguished in about
an hour. The damage to the large
stock is estimated to be about $4,000,
more than half of it being damaged
and blistered to some extent by fire
and water. The loss was fully covered
by insurance, the following underwrit-
ers bearing the loss: Liverpool and
London and Globe, Fire Association,
Reliance, North British and Mercan-
tile, British America, Phoenix, North
western National Of Milwaukee, and
the Northwestern National of Valley
City. The loss to the building, which
is owned by G. M. Fisher, is estimated
to be abiut $1,000, insurance being car
ried In the Royal, German American
and Queen.
