AGED WATCHMAN
BURNED TO DEATH
JOHN SULLIVAN BELIEVED TO
HAVE GIVEN LIFE IN AN At
TEMPT TO SAFE PROP
ERTY FROM FIRE.

Gilbert, Dec 2s.--His life probably
sacrificed in an attempt to prevent the
entire loss by fire of the dry" OF the
Petit mine, where he was employed
as night man, John Sullivan, so years
old, was found dead in the ruins OF the
building.
His head, arms and legs were burned
from his trunk and the body was char
red beyond recognition. No one
knows how the fire started.
1t was about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing when the town Waterman at Gill
bert first saw the blaze. He inme-
diately caused an alarm to be given
but the Gilbert department did not re-
spond, owing to lack OF water to make
its service Of use
The fire department. of the Repub-
lie Iron & Steel Co., which is main
tanned at the mine, did its best o a4o-
due the flames, but it was of little avail
and the structure, which was but one
story high and Of wood, was burned
to the ground.
After the flames were extinguished
Sullivan's burned torso was discovered
and the only way Identification could
be made was by remnants of clothing
and the known fact that he was this
only man in the building.
1t is though probably that Sullivan
may have fallen asleep and knocked
over the lantern ne carried. or have
dropped spark from q match.

Edinburg and Montpelier had com

been relieved by prompt shipments
of coal.
The daily reports made by the

well and figured that everybody

RAVING MANIAC
over religion
GUNpINE TWETEN, A DOMESTIC
AT GRAND FORKS, NOW KEPT
IN STRAIGHT JACKET.

Grand Forks N. D.. Dec. 2s---Miss
Gundine Tweten, domestic, lies in a
straight jacket at the county Jail today,
raving In a high pitched voice which
can be heard for considerable dis
lance, and laying maledictions and i'll
forebodings on the heads of all who
see her. She had been a servant at
the farm house Of w. G. Nash In East
Grand Forks for the past two months
and her actions at the Nash home had
always been rather peculiar, although
she never had been violent at any time.
Her main theme of discussion was re-
ligion and her knowledge OF the bible
would be q source of pride to many
who are religiously inclined. Last FRI
day night her trouble became more
pronounced and she was removed to
the Deaconess hospital, where treat
ment was given her. Yesterday she
became violent, however, and 1t took
all of the reserve force at the hospital
to hold her in check until the sheriff
and his men came to remove her. The
straight jacket was found necessary
for her this morning and her rawlings
are a source of considerable unrest
a. the courthouse.
There is some question as to what
state has jurisdiction over her case,
as some says she lives in Minnesota
and others say her home is at North
wood. She will be hurried tomorrow
to Jamestown, as the facilities at the
county jail do not allow violently in
sane patients to be kept for any length
OF time, and when she Is safely lodged
the question as to what state fhall
pay for her maintenance will be settled
The patient Is a native of Norway
and came her seven years ago and
has worked as a domestic at various
places. She speaks excellent English
talks as though she was well in
formed as to religion and calls al
who come to see her devils anG
children OF the devil"

the meantime, the congregation had
gathered for morning service, and their
pastor failing to appear, they got along
as best they could without his assist
ance.
When he came in after groceries and
found all stores cosed. he began to
make inquiries, and did his best to
make amends for his shortcomings by
giving the congregation a rousing
evening service.
