Tracy Elected President

A. w. Tracy was elected president
of the Minot Commercial club at a
meeting held by the directors Tues
day night. The club members elected
the following board of directors: S.
~ LaDue, A. A. Robinson, ]. H.
Lewis, Robert S. Bosard, and A. W..
Tracy.
Mr.. LaDue was elected first vice
president, and John H. Lewis second
vice-president.
The question of hiring a secretary
was brought up, but the matter was
deferred for the present. John H.
Lewis kindly volunteered his services
as temporary secretary until such
time as a permanent secretary can
be secured.
This is an excellent board OF dir
ectors, and we believe that under
their management things are going to
hum up around the Commercial club
rooms. A. w. Tracy ought to make
a first class president. He has always
been great booster for Minot, and
knows how to advertise the old town.
Let us help the directors and the
president to make success Of the
Commercial club.

M,noT HORSES WIN At BRANDON

At Brandon, Man., last week Dixie
Lad, owned by w. H. Parker of this
city won the three quarter mile dash
in 1.1Szz. Spring Leaf, also owned
by Mr.. Parker, won the seven-eighths
mile dash in 1:321a. Melrina won
second money in the five-eighths mile
dash.
h The Minot horses more than held
their own in all the races. and when
it is taken into consideration that
there were horses at Brandon from
New Orleans and other southern
states it speaks well for the good
condition in which Mr.. Parker had his
horses; also for the fine riding done
by Jockies Wayne Wilkinson and
Frankie Ranch. One Of the incidents
to be regretted by all Minot horse
men was the breaking down Of Rosie
Dillon, owned by Frank l.. Wilson Of
this city. Rosie Dillon was running
in front in the fve-eighths race and
locked to be a sure winner when she
seemed to stumble, and being pulled
UP by Jockey Wilkinson was found to
have badly sprained ankle It is
to be hoped that she will recover. as
racehcrse5 like'her are scarce.

Late reports from Ambrose state
that the man shot there the other
night is no other than George zegin,
the noted bandit. and train rober Of
Montana. The verdict Of the coroner's.
jury was that he came to his death
ait the hands of the citizens inself-
defence. The authorities of the por-
ton of Montana where zegin had
been operating have almost identified
him, and the name of George Zegin
was tatooed on his arm. He was a
much wanted man, and it is stated
that the authorities would rather have
him dead than alive.

A TRAGEDY OF 1891.
DR.. Hurlburt, Forerunner of the Camp
bells, Burned to Death Here.

The presence in this city of the big
circus which sprang from the old Hurl-
burt & Leftwich shows of Norfolk
fame forces into mind the old story of
the death of Prof. Hurlburt in Norfolk
back in the spring of 1891. The story,
so familiar to everyone living in Nor
folk in the early nineties is one of the
most dramatic tragedies in this city'S
history.
Hurlburt was burned to death. The
accident which turned his clothing
into a mass of flames occurred before
an invited audience of about a hundred
Norfolk people at an exhibition per-
Torrance of the circus. A gasoline
lamp had been leaking. The show man
stepped up to correct it himself. He
stepped to his death.
DR.. Hurlburt, for he was a physician
as we'll as a Snowman, gave the lamp
a wrench. In an instant he was
drenched in gasoline and his clothes
turned into a mass of flames. Throw
ing off his coat Hurlburt wrapped him
self in piece of canvass. 1t did not
avail. Again he was up and dashed
wildly about, He was caught and
overpowered. With difficulty the
flames were eXtinguished
1t was said at the time that the
Snowman would recover. Hurlburt
knew that he was going to die. He
was a doctor and he knew that he had
breathed the flames into his lungs.
The burns proved fatal.
