LARIMORE FIRE.
SEVERAL BARNS, LUMBER AND
OTHER PROPERTY DESTROYED
-PIGGER SUSPECTED OF BE-
SPONSIBLE FOR m.

Larimore, N. D., Aug. 13.-A disas-
trous fire which originated in the
barn in the rear of the Larimore
Steam laundry at 1:45 this morning,
consumed three barns and consider
able other property before it was got
under control The barn in which
it originated was entirely consumed
and two horses which were in the
barn were barely got out in time to
save them.
From the barn of the laundry the
f1af1mes spread to the barn of the
Elk Valley Farming Co., and taht
structure was completely consumed.
From this building the fire blew to
the barn of the Atlas Lumber Co.,
formerly. known as the F. H. Stoltze
Co., and that structure was likewise
consumed. In addition to the barn,
car of shingles, forty-fve barrels of
cement and quantity of lumber
were burned. The loss on the lumber
was $1,000 and on the other proper
ty of the lumber yard $4,000. The
loss on the other property and the
amount of insurance carried could
not be obtained. RE 5a
The origin of the fire is something
of mystery, but a man named M.
D. Derkozetch, who was doing a pic
ture machine stunt on the streets,
was arrested this morning on a
charge of bootlegging, and it is said
he had been going back and forth
from the barn in the operation of this
business. He was arrested by Officer
Roberts, who is a new man on the
force, it being his second night on
duty, and the capture is regarded as
an important one in connection with
the fire. He was held in $500 bonds
for the district court and in default
will be placed in the county Jail this
evening, ..,.~. 81 .. #

BAD MAN MEETS HIS MATCH.
According to the Emporia Gaze

According to the Emporia Gazette,
a bad man Of Wichita went to lola
to clean up the town. Upon arriving
there he took his station ON the prin-
cipal street and loudly announced
that he was the four-pronged roaring
rhinoceros from Bitter Creek, and
could whip a wagon load of wild
cats. He extended cordial invita-
tion to the town to produce man
he couldn't peel and eat in three sec
onds. Just then the village black
smith came along. The smith, a
mighty man was he, with large and
sinewy hands; and the muscles of
his brawny arms were strong as iron
bands. And he pasted the bad man
from Wichita on the chin, and rolled
him together as scroll, and wound
him around lamp post, and then
gave him to the children to play
with. Wichita Is naturally humilat-
ed, for she has always taken warm
pride In the invincible bad man.

POPULAR GIRL OF DERRICK
KILLS HERSELF WITH CARROLL
&c ACID FOR UNKNOWN REA-
SON.

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 13.-Yes-
terday afternoon Coroner Gilbertson
was notified of the death by suicide,
of 'sBabe" Wright, an adopted daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Wright, who are
living on the Henry King farm near
Derrick on the Lakota branch of of
the Great Northern. The deceased
girl was 16 years of age, had been
out in company with a young man
Monday evening, and the first ink
ling which her parents received Of
anything wrong came when the girl s
mother called her yesterday morning
and discovered the dead body of her
daughter with an empty bottle of
carbolic acid near by. The case was
plainly one of suicide and Coroner
Gilbertson, who left the city at once
for Derrick in company with Deputy
Sheriff Frye, decided not to hold an
inquest. The death of the girl has
aroused considerable interest through
the northeastern portion of the
county, where she was we'll known
and respected by large number of
friends. The remains are being en-
balmed today and will be shipped
east for burial.

EXPERT TESTIMONY
THE MILLERS FIGHTING PROF.
e. r. LADD IN BLEACHED
FLOUR CASE. \

Just what bleached flour is, wheth-
er bleaching tends to take from the
purity and whether the process con-
forms with the pure food laws of the
state Of North Dakota, as interpreted
by the most noted experts of the
country, will be told in testimony
that Is being taken at the present
time by Judge Engerud Of the law
firm Of Engerud, Holt & Frame. One
Of the most notable gatherings Of
expert chemists ever held in the coun-
try was in session at Macinac Island
last week. The testimony Of DR.. Will
ey Of Washington, D. c., who has
carried on important experiments in
the matter of pure food, and others,
was taken at that time.
This testimony will be used in the
case of the Russell Miller Milling Co.
ct al, against Professor 3. F. Laid,
state food commissioner in a suit
that was started some time ago and
which had come up In various phases
several times, in which the millers
wish to enjoin Professor Ladd from
issuing certain bulletins in which the
matter of bleaching -four was treated
and explained and the names Of the
companies employing the process
printed.
The testimony that is being taken
now is OF great Importance in the
case which has grown up in such
proportions as to be watched by
chemists and food commissioners OF
every state. The reputation that has
been gained by Prof. Ladd in the
matter Of routing impure foods is
such that he is now looked on as one
of authority on pure food subjects.

Assorted Stock.

Selling liquor at auction is somewha
OF a novelty here, but many Of the 100
saloonkeepers who will shut up shop
ct midnight on Thursday are getting
rid of their stock by that method. Buy
ing the stuff is much like taking a
pig in a poke. Some Of the knock
down" product is bottled in bond, Which,
is an evidence Of its quality.
Other saloons which have not re-
sorted to the auction game are display.-
ing great white signs, announcing that
everything must be sold before the
first day OF May. The stock is being
depleted, fixtures have been carted
away, and about the places there Is an
air of emptiness.
With the reduction in the number OF
saloons from $50 and more to $50, sew
eral hundred persons will be thrown
cut of employment. Some of them have
prepared to engage in other business.

The prosecution has proved the pres
ence Of the disguised man going to and
from the place Of the murder. but no
one has positively swore that it was
Richards. the only witness that was
positive was Bob Collins, who swore
that he met the prisoner in the road
one night near the place of the crime,
and he slapped him In the breast with
a shotgun, and he knew that 1t was
cution proved by a witness by the
name Of Sites that he saw the prisoner
at the place Of the killing few hours
before it happened. This witness was
,impeached at the time and very little
credit was given to his testimony, and
he was not put on&t the stand nor sum-

The measure Of the tracks was not
introduced, land the prosecution relys
on the evidence Of the shot bottle. the
disguised man, and the fact that Rlch-

ton Of the scene Of the crime, espe-
cially on the days that Francis was
expected to visit Miss Link.

DREAMS OF DEAD
SCARED HIM OFF
Detective Chief Declares He Will
Not Go Fishing After

Captain A. NJ. Tomlinson,- chief Of
detectives, hasn't been fishing since he
was small boy, nearly seventy five
years ago. and the other day he made
up his mind that he would renew his
youth and go forth and hook a. few
club and perch and things. He was
sitting In his private office bending a
pin into hook and fixing his weights
and line, when Sergeants Bailey and
the adjoining office, which is separated
from the private office by only thin
partition.
"Had c, funny dream last night said
Mcmahon. Dreamed there was a dead
man lying out in my yard. and 1
couldn't get him out I fooled round
"a long time, and finally got lot OF
men and a wagon and hauled him
away. | could see him just as plain.
and woke up all in a persplration.''
Beat that" said Bailey, drawing on
his English pipe, for three and six.
"l dreamed several Of. us were out fish
ing down at Drewry's Bluff, and we
had two dead men in the boat. Ono
was lying out flat, and the other was
perched UP in the stern, Every now
and then he would fall over, and the
man next to him would have to shove
him back In place. We We're going
down the river; I don't know Why.
Funny to go down the river with two
corpses."
Captain Tomlinson pricked up his
ears. "Humph" he said, and droppetl
his tackle.
Yes said Bailey, 1--WE were going
down the river, and thatEcorpsei kept
falling over into the other mans lap.
Everything was Just as plain as day,
but don't know who either the dad
men or the living were.
CAPTAIN Tomlinson loped into the
Office, whats all this?" he gasped.
"Just some Dreams they replied.
"Phew!' he said. Say, boys, don't
h'lieve III so nshin' Tomorrow tia

basket and he hasn't gone fishing yet,

Others do the fishing. This Is the first
time on record that Captain Tomitnson
ever backed down. If you ask him II
he believes in dreams he will tell you
that he Is not going fishing
