MAY SOLVE MYSTERY.
Human Skull Discovered In Slough,
Three Miles From Minot.

Human Skull Discovered In 4 Slough,
Three Miles From Minot.
A human skull, found in a slough
three miles southeast of Minot, may
clear up one Of the mysteries that has
been battling the authorities of Ward
county. The location of the skull
leads the authorities to believe that
1t is a part of the skeleton Of FRA
Bishop. whose mysterious disappear.
ance caused such excitement in the
county a year ago last March.
Bishop left his home one night. bid.
ding lis wife goodbye. and started in
the direction Of the 500 and Great
Northern tracks. course. which II
pursued would lead him past the
slough in which the skull was found.
Since that time nothing has been
heard Of or from him. and though the
officials made diligent search Of the
sloughs and coulees no trace of his
body was found. Bishop had consid-
cradle money on his person when he
left home, and 1t is supposed that he
was robbed and his body thrown into
the water.
The skull will be brought to the
city, and the slough will be searched
for any other clues which might throw
light on the Bishop mystery.

House Belonging to Farmers Grain
Company Consumed.
One night last week about $3.50 q
blaze was discovered in the driveway
Of the Farmers Grain company ele!
vator at Warwick, and in spite OF the
efforts Of the townspeople the build
ing and contents were totally con-
sumed by the flames. The loss will
amount to $4,000, and is fully covered
by insurance. About two thousand
bushels of grain, mostly nax, were de.
stroyed in the fire.
The Duluth elevator was in danger
during the blaze, but the use Of chem
zeal fire extinguishers on this build.
ing and other nearby structures pre-
vented the fire from spreading. The
books and records Of the company
were saved by Agent Lollis, who was
at his home when the fire was dis
covered.
The cause Of the fire IL not known,
but there is strong suspicion that in
cendiarism Is at the bottom Of the
loss. No business has been transact
ed at the elevator during the day, and
no fire had been kept in the Office
80 that the blaze must have been
started maliciously. There are no
clues in regard to the guilty parties
up to the present time, but the matter
Is under investigation, and will be-
thoroughly sifted to find the incon.
diary.
