The Premier left Selkirk for the
north with thirty-eight passengers and
crew, arriving safely at Warren's
Landing. About twenty persons were
sleeping on board when the fire broke
out. Lack of hotel accommodations
at the trading post kept the passen-
gers on the boat.
When the cry of fire was raised
those who escaped did so in scanty
attire by jumping overheard, when
they either swan to shore or were
picked up by boats.

age, tempered with gasoline stove,
which probably exploded and set fire
to the room. The dead are:
Burt, four years old; Gertrude.

Neighbors saw the flames issuing
from the house, but thought there was
a small prairie fire on the other side
of the building and paid no attention.
Then they heard screams and rushed
nearer the place, which, in few mo-
ments, was destroyed. Owing to the.
intense heat and the ever-spreading
flames the neighbors were unable to
help. Before the fire department
could arrive three lives had been
snuffed out.
The father, who is carpenter and
was at work at the time, and the
mother are in a serious condition.

RECEIVERS NAMED.
PlIIsbury- WashbuIn Company in
Financial Trouble.
REORGANIZATION IS PLANNED
Necessity for Change of Man
agement Probable Cause
for Legal Action.

Minneapolis, Aug. 8.--As step to
reorganization certain stockhold ers
and holders of the Pillsbury-Wash-
burn Flour Milling company's paper
petitioned the federal district court
for the appointment of receivers to
direct the business. The petition was
granted, the court naming c.. IS. Pills
bury, son of the late Charles A. Fills
bury; A. G. Loring, head of the North
western Consolidated Milling com
pany, and A. C.. Cobb, attorney. The
petitioners were the Northwestern
National bank, the First National, the
Swedish-American National of Mime
apolis and the Second National bank
of st. Paul, together with J. S. Pills
bury
There will be no interruption to the
business of the company pending the
reorganization.
After naming the receivers the court
fixed their joint bond at 100000 and
announced that five days would be
allowed for them to file it. That the
petition for receivership was on a
friendly basis is evidenced by the
appearance of j. S. Pillsbury as one
OF the petitioners and the fact that the
company consented to the action with
out opposition. This may be due to
necessity for change of manage
ment, which was broadly intimated in
the petition.

Over Death of Wife Cause

John G. Lund of Minneapolis, one
men in the Northwest, committed sui
eide in his private Office in that city.
He shot himself in the head directly
behind the right ear. Death followed
almost instantly. Business Difficult
ties, grief over the death about year
ago of his wife and general impair
ment of his own health are believed
to have induced dependency that led
to Mr.. Lund's act of self-destruction-
Since his wife's death, his friends say,
he had never ceased to mourn. Money
losses, too, had troubled him serious
~. Negotiations made by several Of
his agents proved to be fraudulent,
it is said, and he had been called upon
to square all the deals This caused
his fortune, which was at one time
estimated at several hundred thousand
dollars, to diminish rapidly and credi-
tors were beseiging him from every
Side. Several cases had been settled
without litigation, but it is believed
that he could have gone no further
without declaring himself bankrupt
Mr.. Lund was about forty years
old. He was born at Rushford, this
state. After attending school he re-
moved to Candy, where he eventually
engaged in the land business. He
went to Minneapolis in 1901 and
opened big land business. He was
