OFF by Wall Of Flames.

Z Duluth, Sept. 16.-A settler named
Monker and five Indians have been
cut off by the flames at Grand Marais
and have probably persisted, accord
ing to. the reports of the officers of the
United States steamer Gopher, which
returned from Grand Marais with the
Duluth naval militiamen aboard. The
militia has been fighting the fires for
week and after getting a new sup
ply of provisions will return to Grand
Marais. .=.--. -
The danger is by no means past and
Grand Marais harbor is roaring in
ferno, with fires on all sides. The
smoke is so bad that it is impossible
to see from one end of the boat to the
other at times. The settlers have
their effects all piled on the lake
shore. ~ ~-- - @,-- -s,,:
Monker and the Indians started in.
land to rescue a homesteader and a
wall of flames shot in behind them,
cutting them off completely. No word
has been heard from them since.

No Wonder He Fled.

A tall, solemn looking young man
entered the restaurant with a mild,
Rpologetic air and seated himself at a
vacant table near the middle of the
room. It was evident that he dreaded
to intrude. He wanted to get as far
away from other people as possible
He even blushed painfully when he
gave his order, and the most casual
observer could have told that he was
bashful. Just as his dinner was
brought to him buxom looking wo-
man with seven small children entered
the place. The head waiter swept the
field with his eye, bounced down upon
the table where the young man had
sought solitude, motioned to the moth
er, who clucked to the chickens, and
I moment later they were all around
that one table.
That young mans face was a serial
story. .s
Other people entered the restaurant,
glanced at the group, smiled signif-
cantly and seated themselves.
''He doesn't look it, does he T" queried
q pleasant faced old lady in an audible
whisper.
"She looks at least ten years older
Than he,' murmured q girl at the next
table. z s;s

SUICIDE OF POPULAR MAN
Continued from page 9.)

Several men were sleeping in a tent close by, and upon being awakened by Mrs. McQuaid's frantic cries. they hurried to the scene of the tragedy, where they found Jack" lying on the porch. bleeding from a wound above the right ear, and with a small 22-caliber revolver by his side. Dr. Keith. being hurriedly summoned. did everything possible for the wounded man, but the little bullet had done its. work too well, and at 2:3O it was all over with Jack" McQuaid. The tragedy has cast a gloom over the community. for the dead man. not Withstanding his faults, was well liked by all who knew him.
 Patrick J. McQuaid was born in Minneapolis. Minn., forty nine years ago. He was married to Emma C.. Holder at Pittsburg, Pa, fifteen years ago. Happening to be in business in Canada at the outbreak of the BOer war, he promptly enlisted and for two years served under the British flag in South Africa He was well known in Arizona, having conducted a restaurant for three years in Yuma after which, for a short time, he ran two eating houses in Phoenix, being engaged in the latter enterprise dur ing the territorial fair of 1907. He came to Wickenburg a year ago, and had not only succeeded in building up a flourishing business but had ac- quired property in the best residence district of the town, erected a neat and attractive cottage. and announced his intention of making his final and permanent home. His tragic ending is simply one more tribute to King Alcohol. There is no question that his mind had become unbalanced by his indulgences, and the verdict of the coroner's jury placed the respon- sibility wholly upon his own shoulders.

CHICAGO AND THE cLANsMAN."

!
 The splendid verdict for "The Clans man" rendered by both press and pub lie in Chicago is still the talk of the town in the windy city. In the chorus of newspaper praise there were but few strains of dissonance. Amy Leslie in the News said: The Clansman' pal pilates with bold, dynamic truths" w l.. Hubbard in The Tribune: "Unparal- leled in the history of melodrama in Chicago" O. l.. Hall in The Journal: 60 The Clansman' is a sensation. It has those clements that make for it great success No other play of the year has so quickly leaped into popularity" Forest Arden in the Examiner: "Dra- matically striking. a splendid com pany.' J. D. McArdle in the Chronicle: 60 The Clansman' must be chased as a melodrama of exceptional strength" Percy Hammond in the Post: Tt can give odds to most of the plays seen hereabouts in the effective assembling and arrangement of the clements which interest and the steady sweep of the action to the proper ending"
 The play which pleased Chicagoans so highly and packed the theater at every performance will be seen for the first time at Elks theater, on Dec 8.

CONFIRMATION OF
 THE SHELTER SALE
There Will Be No Hitch in the Trans fer of the Humboldt Property.

Organization of the company which recently purchased the Humboldt shelter and the properties of the Ari- zona Smelling company and the Con- solidated Smelling company is pro gressing satisfactorily to the purchas- lers, according to advices received here from New York, says the Prescott Journal Miner. No hitch has appear ed so far in the proceedings and the prospects are that the sale of the properties made here by J. Kearney Rice, trustee in bankruptcy, will be confirmed by the United States dis trict court of New Jersey on the day set, December 20.
 As soon as practicable after the confirmation of the sale, the work of remodelipg the plant and it's appoint ments will be started and rushed to completion. The purchasers estimate that all the necessary changes can be made at an outlay of between $125,000 and SI5O,OOO This includes the cost of repairing the pumping plant, as well as the desired changes in the smelters.
 In addition to the Humboldt smelt- CTS, the property purchased includes the Blue Bell and De Soto groups of mines in the Bradshaw mountains. The annual assessment work on the Blue Bell and De Soto groups as well as other properties purchased for the present. year is now well under way. This involves an outlay of at least $5,000 It is a testament of the good faith of the purchasers of the hold ings in the bankrupt concerns, leav- ing practically no doubt that the pur- chase was made in good faith and that the purchasers have full cOnfi- dence in their ability to finance the undertaking.
 The starting of the smelter will cause unprecedented activity in the Bradshaw mountain region, as at num- Der of mines are now idle in that section that return handsome profits with a home market for the ore out put.

Curious Uses of Baskets by Mexicans.

Curious Uses of Baskets by Mexicans.
 Perhaps the most curious use to which Mexicans put their baskets is to hold gamecocks. Sometimes the cocks basket is woven for the pur- pose, aftener it is made from a som brero, the wide, high crowned straw hat of the country, into which the bird is put, a hole cut in the crown to give him air and the brim care fully tide down that he may not es- cape. The bull fight has been called the national sport of Mexico, but cockfighting is much more univer- sal; for the humblest peasant may have his gamecock which he keeps in a carefulyl made cage in his patio watches with pride and tends with care.
 One of the strangest uses to which a basket has probably ever been put was the daily appearance in the streets of q young man carrying a huge bushel basket on his shoulders, his great -grandmother-of unknown age, who held out a skinny hand to passersby for the centavo which was almost unfailingly given. Surely a trust in Providence could go no further-From "Basketry in Mexico g by Eleanor Hope Johnson in the Out ing Magazine for November.
