North Dakota Village Threat
ened at Early Hour
5 BUILDINGS DESTROYED
BLAZE STARTED IN BLACKSMITH
SHOP AND SPREADS TO OTHER
suuDlNes QUICKLY - SHOP,
PosToFFicE AND RESTAURANT
ARE IN RUINS.

Ayr, N. D., Aug. 21.--A fire which
originated in a blacksmith shop here
about 5 o'clock this morning came
near sweeping the village from the
face of the map, and now the place
where the FIRE started, the postoffice
and a restaurant are a heap of smol
dering ruins The estimated loss is
$4,000.
The FIRE evidently started from the
forge and the blacksmith shop, which
was a frame structure was soon en-
veloped. The flames were discovered
at about o'clock and in time, had
there been any fire protection in the
city, to have saved the building but
getting beyond the control Of the
bucket brigade which was formed by
the citizens it soon spread to the ad-
Joining buildings and destroyed them.
The postoffice and the restaurant were
soon ablaze and the contents Of both
buildings were destroyed
The only thing which saved the
town from utter annihilation was the
building Of the Ayr store Co, which
is built Of concrete blocks and which
successfully resisted the flames and
kept them from spreading.
The blacksmith shop was valued at
$1,40O and the restaurant at $1,sO0,
The loss to the postoffice has not been
definitely ascertained but it win un-
doubtedly be $500 or; over.

New York, Aug. 21.-The dramatic
scene in which Thornton jenkins
Hams, the noted author, held back
crowd with a. revolver while his
brother carried out his vengeance at
the Bayside Yacht club, is still the
center of talk in army and social cir
cles. Both brothers are at the present
time in Queens county jail awaiting
their hearing next week.
The crime was committed last Sat
urday when the Bayside yacht club
dock was crowded with men and gaily
dressed women, including Mrs Annis.
The victim landed on the dock.
Captain Hains, accompanied by his
brother, Thornton Jenkins Hams, well
known as an author and amateur
yachtsman, walked to the landing
stage of the club as Annis and a club
member named Harway were disem-
barking from a boat and the captain
at once opened fire upon the man
whom he holds responsible for the dis
ruption Of his home. Annis attempted
to get behind Harway, but Captain
Hafns reached under Harway's arm
and emptied his revolver upon his
enenasE
Immediately there was con1motion
on the club house veranda. Mrs. Annis
tainted and dozen yachtsmen rushed
to the float to the assistance of Annis.

Before they could get to the side Of
the wounded man, however, t.. j.
Hains. the captains brother, whipped
out a revolver and threatened to shoot
the first man who interfered. This
is an affair between these two" he
said calmly.
Annis, with two bullets in his abdo-
men, one i'm his arm and two in his
legs, was hurried to the hospital.
Annis was the publisher Of the Burr
Mcintosh magazine and other we'll
known publications.

thor of national repute. Among other
books some of his most famous pro-
ductions have been "Mr Trunnell.'

homicide charge, when he was 80 years
of age. He was accused of having
shot Edward Hanigan, friend tc

AN UNIQUE Bet

Washington, Aug. I'll Charles Street,
catcher of the washington baseball
team today won bet of $500 made
with John Biddle of this city by per
ferming an unprecedented, though oft
attempted feat of catching a regu-
lation baseball dropped from the top

nit Of Colonel Bromwell, in charge
of the monument, before the feat
could be undertaken, because of ex-

Ae small windows near the top of
monument at height of $50 feet

Winnipeg, Aug. 21.-That the Cam
adian Pacific railway rolling stock is
getting in a bad condition, owing to
the absence of mechanics in the re-
pair shops, was made evident today

three freight trains had gone into the
ditch on the Lethbridge Alberta
branch yesterday and much rolling
stock was destroyed.
It is reported that $50 engines be-
tween Swift Current and Calgary have
been put out Of business since the

With the addition Of thirty con-
stables yesterday the company now
has 900 police guarding the shops and

IS INJURED man
A MURDERER 7.
NAME OF MAN WHO WAS SER
IousLY INJURED IN NORTHERN
PACIFIC YARDS SATURDAY, RE-
sEMsLEs THAT OF MAx5Ass
PARTY WHO KILLED FATHER.

There seem to be some persons Of
the opinion that Antoine Barowisc. the
Finlander who was injured Saturday
night while stealing a ride on the.
Northern Pacific railroad, is the man
who killed his father at Maxbass,
about ten days ago. but slight diff
ference in names, together with other
evidence secured. tends to discourage
this idea
The man who killed his father at
Maxbass was Russian by the narne
Of Antoine Barasenwic. The Minot
Reporter says:
According to the best information
The Reporter can obtain there have
as yet been no warrants issued for
the arrest OF Antoine Rarasenwic. the
Maxbass young man who shot his fath
er to death in a dispute over a horse
at the Barasenwic home, ten days ago.
Dispute as co the location OF the
Barasenwic home because of its loca-
tion directly on the line between Nc
Lean and Ward counties, has resulted
In the failure OF either set OF county
officials to take action in the matter.
There was no post raortem held over
the dead body Of Barasenwic and his
burial In Minot week ago Sunday at
tracted little attention. 1t was not
thought by Ward county officials that
they had any jurisdiction IN the case.
From the appearance Of things 1t
would look as though the Mclean
county officers have the same idea and
that the murderer would be allowed
to keep on going without any police
