BOMB outrage
On The RANCE
THE HOME OF THOMAS NlCHO-
LAS, A MINE CAPTAIN, is
WRECKED.
Socialistic influence is Seen in First
Instance of Attempted ASA ssina-
ton by Dynamite Bombs. A Reign
of Terror Feared.

Biwabik, Mimi, Jan. 21.-Shortly
after O'Clock Monday morning
bomb thrown at the house occupied
by the family of Thomas Nicholas,
captain OF the Mohawk mine near
Aurora, tore out one side of building
and threw Nicholas, his wife and the
four children from their beds. The
youngest child, an infant that was
sleeping with its parents was serious
ly injured.
Although scores of men poured out
of the mine to investigate the outrage,
no definite clue to the identity of the
perpetrators was discovered. One
man said he was certain that when
he was coming upon the scene he saw
two shadowy figures disappearing
in the darkness.
News of the outrage spread through
out the range towns like wild fire and
in a number of cases superintendents
and mining captains made arrange
ments to have their dwellings guard
ed. One of the leading men said
that he believed that the Nicholas
outrage is the beginning of the reign
of terror that will precede strike
that is planned to begin early in the
spring. That severe suppressive
measure will be taken is certain.
Since the outrage every effort has
been made to run down the criminals.
Two men who were driving in the
direction of Tower and who were re-
ported to have been highly excited,
are being sought by the authorities.
1t is hourly expected that report of
their arrest will be received.
One explanation of the outrage, say
Nicholas friends, is that some of the
foreigners who have been employed
at the mine, quite a number of whom
were recently laid off, conceived the
idea that Nicholas was to blame for
their losing their jobs and decided to
put him out of the way. In doing
this they did not hesitate to risk the
lives of an innocent woman and four
children.

LIGHT KEEPER IN PERIL.
Signaling Station at ManitoWoc Near
Destruction in Storm.

MISUNDERSTANDING Warren, the
assistant lighthouse keeper, had a
narrowing experience while on duty
on the fog station on the breakwa-
tiers during one of the worst storms of
the year. The seas were running
very high and carried away Warren S
boat and tore away the steps leading
to the signaling station and for a
time the station itself was in danger
of being swept into the sea. The wa
tiers flooded the floors and quenched
the fires in the boilers. 1t was i'm
possible to get boat to the break
water near enough to get Warren out
of his dangerous position. Even the
large car ferries of the Ann Arbor 4
Pere Marquette line were unable to
get close enough to the station. He
remained at the station all day and
late into the night. He was finally
taken off by the tug Arctic after the
storm had somewhat abated. The
boats in the harbor had to be taken
from their moorings and the steamer
Wildlar, which was lying at a coal
dock for unloading, parted its lines
several times.

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Youngster Disseminated
in His Prayer.

For several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed the use of Shetland pony,
the property of horse dealer who
was a friend of the family. But much
to Ralph's sorrow, there came a day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry, was
little girl of about his own mature
age of five. Ever since his acquaint-
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer,
and God bless the pony" was an
earnest nightly petition. The first
evening after the sale of the pony,
Ralph hesitated when he reached his
pets place in the prayer. Then, after
a moments thought, he continued:
please, God, bless the pony just
the same; but, God, don't you bless
the little girl what's got the pony"

The THAW TRIAL.

Both Evelyn Thaw, the wife, ana
Mrs. William Thaw, the mother OF
the defendant, were on the witness
stand, and just as the former was
about to relate anew the story OF her
life, as she told it to ThaW in Paris
in 1903, District Attorney Jerome
arose and suggested that in the inter-
est of public morals all persons save
those Immediately interested in the
case should be excluded from the
courtroom during the recital of what
he termed "a horrible tale" The de-
Tense agreed and Justice Bowling ad-
journed court for two days, when, ne
said, he would decide the matter.
Harry Thaw's mother arrived in
New York to testify in his defense.
More evidence as to his irrational ac-
tions was presented
The two principal witnesses in the
Thaw trial were Prof. Charles n.
Koehler of Winona, Mimi, who acted
as instructor to Thaw in the Wooster
(O) university in 1886, and Mrs. Amy
Crosette of San Maeto, Cal, who at
tended Thaw as a trained nurse at
Monte Carlo in 1897. They both told
of the young mans eccentricities and
declared that his manner always was
irrational.
Some of Thaw's alleged eccentrlcl-
ties, revealed for the first time, were
related at his trial by Christopher
Baggan, steward of the New YORK
Whist club; by Miss Matilda Stein,
telephone operator, and by Per August
Weber, a former butler in the ThaW
household

JANUARY PRAIRIE FIRE.
An Extremely Unusual Occurrence for
Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Jan. 21.-A prairie fire
in the middle of J January in Minnesota.
That is what happened Sunday when
the firemen were called to Grand
street, between Twenty-eighth and
Twenty streets, to a blaze that
covered considerable area.
1t is supposed that some careless
passerby dropped lighted match in
a tuft of grass that had been dried by
the warm sun during the day, and in
a moment the fire had spread, and the
people living in the neighborhood
turned in an alarm, fearing that their
homes would be threatened if the
blaze got good start.
The fireman had little difficulty in
extinguishing the fire before any
damage was done.

FIERCE LYNX SLAIN.
Hunter After a Desperate Fight Man.
ages to Kill Animal.

Washburn.-Henry Kitzrow of Iron
River, Bayfield, county, had a desper-
ate encounter with lynx while hunt
ing for rabbits. AS the hunter and his
dog were going through a jack pine
thicket the dogs attention was at
tracted to something in the brush, and
it proceeded to investigate. The dog
soon ran out, with lynx close in pur-
suit Kitzrow shot the animal in the
side and the wounded animal left the
dogs trail and rushed at the hunter.
A hand-to-hand encounter was the re-
suit for a few moments, but Kitzrow
managed to discharge the gun again
and the lynx rolled over dead. Hunt
ers say Kitzrow would surely have
been torn to pieces if he had not
killed the lynx in time.
