law, has received more than $40, 900
the money having been solicited
through several New York publica-
tions printed in Arabic, for the Al

Fargo, Dec. 25.-Otto Skidmore is
in ST. Johns hospital in this city, in
danger of death, as the result of SER
ious injuries inflicted in a row at
LaMoure last night. George Woodell
a. farmer living near Verona, is in
custody at Verona for .inflicting the
injuries and may yet be called to an
swer to a charge of murder, for it is
feared tonight that Skidmore will
die
Woodell's act was the outcome Of
an old grudge. On July he was ar
rested by Skidmore, who was acting
as a deputy marshal, and he swore
he would get even. Last night he
met Skidmore and without warning
walloped him on the side of the head
with heavy piece of oak timber.
The force of the blow crushed in the
whole side of the victims face.
Woodell was promptly arrested and
will be held for further developments

RECALLS NORDALEXlS CASE
AMERICAN PLEASED THAT TROU-
BILE MAKER is NOW OUT
OF THE WAY.
State Department Would Have Un-
doubtedIy Appreciated His Capture
and Made Him Stand Trial for the
Murder of the Americans, Groce
and Cannon.
(Bv Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 25.-News of the
flight of Zelaya from Corinto was re-
varying emotions. While the state
department. undoubtedly would have
appreciated the capture of Zelaya
and his arraignm ent on the charge
of numbering the two Americans,
Groce and Cannon, there is in other
quarters distinct sense of relief in
the passing of the Nicaraguan dicta-
tor from the scene. Had this gov
ernment been determined to stand
sent by Secretary Knox to Rodriguez
charge d'affaires Of the Nicaraguan
legation here, it is acknowledged
that the escape of Zelaya could read
lily have been prevented.
That no efforts were made to block
the flight of the former president, is
accepted as an indication that the po-
sftion originally taken by the secre-
1 tary sof state was not altogether ten
able The right of asylum, under in
*ternational laws, is one Of the most
vigorously u regarded stipulations OF
such law and Zelaya in demanding
such a right from the commander OF
the Mexican gunlboats Guerrero, reg,
istered request that could not well
be refused. In the failure of the
American authorities to file any pro-
test against the acceptance of Zela-
ya's person, the Mexican commander
had no alternative but to aid him In
leaving Nicaragua.
A precedent was established in the
case of Nord Alexis, former president
of Santo Domingo, when he sought
asylum on a French cruiser lying IN
the harbor. He was wanted by the
succeeding government on a number
of counts, but the French minister
escorted the deposed ruler to the
wharf, where he was met by launch
from the warship and taken aboard.
No protest ever was made over the
incident and it was regarded as COM
ing we'll within the scope of the laws
of nations.

LIVED FOR MONTHS
WITH BROKEN BACK

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 25.-Af-
ter living for months with 'oroken
back, D. J. Forsness, aged As years,
who sustained his fatal injury on the
afternoon of July 5, died yesterday
afternoon at 3 O'Clock at the Deaco-
ness hospital.
The unfortunate man. after showing
remarkable vitality, took a turn for
the worse two weeks ago and grad
ually succunbbed, passing away quiet
ly yesterday afternoon. He leaves a
wife and seven small children. The
funeral will not be held until Tuesday
as some relatives have been wired
and are expected to be here for the
fuenral.
THE accident in which Forsness
was injured took place on the after
noon of July while he was engaged
in his work as teamster in the south
end of town. Some boy, it has never
been learned who, threw a giant fire
cracker in such a way that Forsness
horses were frightened and he was
thrown out Of the wagon onto the
wheel. The wagon passed over his
body, breaking his hack, and it was
thought that he could not survive the
night He clung to life for several
days, however. and finally surprised
the nurses one day by partially sit
ting up in bed and demanding some
thing to eat. From that time on he
seemed to get somewhat better, al
though it was evident that he would
be a cripple for life. However, some
two weeks ago, his vitality began to
dwindae until the end came yester-
day. =

STRIKE MAY Be
SETTLED TODAY
sBy Associated Press.)

st. Paul, Dec. 25.-All signs indi-
cate that the switchmen's strike will
be settled as the result of the con-
ference of railroad officials and men,
bers of the railway department of
the American Federation of Labor
which will be resumed at the capitol
at 10 o'clock Monday morning.
The main point apparently yet to
decide is whether the railroads shall
re-employ the strikers. While none
of the officials would comment on
that probability, it is believed that a
satisfactory arrangement will be
made in that direction and that the
strike will be called off without de-
lay.
Governor Eberhart, through whose
mediation the two sides were brought
together, again expressed the beliee
today that the railroads woul'l see
the way clear to take back the old
employees. Il

Theory That Fire Was Started 8y
Enemies Of Professor Ladd Is Not
Believed Frozen Hydrant Made
Work of Firemen Of Little Avail
For Some Time.

| Fargo, Dec. z5.-Fire believed to
have been caused by chemical ex-
plosion destroyed the chemical build
ing at the North Dakota Agricultural
college Thursday night, entailing
loss of $685. 900 on the building and
contents
The fire was discovered shortly af-
ter seven o'clock by w. H. Flynn, pro
prietor of a confectionery store near
| the college campus. He heard loud
explosion followed by other explos-
ions and at once surm ised that some
thing was wrong at the college. He
next saw the flames bursting from
the windows of the chemical build
ing, and he gave the alarm to the
fire department.
When the fire department arrived
on the scene the fire had gained
enough headway to prevent the saw
ing of the building. Trouble with
the hydrant, which had been frozen,
delayed the department and it was
some minutes before a stream could
be turned on the burning structure.
Soon all hope of extinguishing the
fire was given up and the work OF
the department was turned toward
preventing the spread of the fire to
the library and administration build
ings. r g s@f ss2ezt5!! n
On the roof of the library build
ing President J. H. Worst was doing
heroic work with a broom sweeping
the sparks from the roof of the
building. While so engaged he fell
on the icy footing on the roof of the
building and severely strained some
Of the muscles of his leg. He was
taken to his home, where he is re-
ported not in serious condition.
While painful, his injuries are not
regarded as dangerous.
How the fire started is a mystery.
The theory was advanced by certain
set afire by enemies of Prof. e. F.
Ladd, pure food comm issioner, whose
experiments were conducted in the
chemical building laboratory and
who has been active in Furnishing the
violators of the pure food acts. That
this could be true is doubted. Prof.
Ladd himself takes no stock in such
theory, saying that he has no enc
mics who would resort to such
methods to punish him. There are
dozen ways in which the fire might
have started,'' said he. '.but that is
not one of them" The theory gener-
ed in an explosion of chemicals, the
cause of which will probably never
be discovered.
