OSS RESCUED BY
FIRE FIGHTERS
UGLY CONFEDERATION STARTS
IN BASEMENT OF FARGO GRO,
Gerry CONAN CARRIED FROM
UPPER FLooR-ExPLosIoN IN.
JuREp MEMBER OF DEPT.

Blinded and choked by dense smoke
the fire department battled with the
meanest fire Of the season last night
In the block owned by Martin Hector
corner Of Fifth street south and Front
street. occupied on the main floor by
the Fargo Grocery Co. Clever work on
the part OF members of the department
probably saved the life Of r. j. Oss,
barber, who occupied a room on the
second floor who was taken from q
window after the room was so dense
with smoke that suffocation might have
resulted in short time.
Oss had been troubled with insomnia
and before retiring had taken medicine
prescribed by a doctor. to make him
sleep. He was sound i'm dreamland
when the firemen entered his room.
The loss could not be estimated
closely today, but is placed in the
neighborhood of $1,000, which is well
covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered at II o'clock
by James Hutchinson, porter at the
Johnson barber shop In the basement
OF the block. It started near the fur
mace In the rear which was used as
store room by the grocery company.
The fire was of the most aggravated
nature that the department has
handled for months.
A mysterious explosion occurred in
the rear, in which John Koehel, recetv-
ed injury. A piece OF glass struck him
in the neck. Just missing the iugular
vein, making an ugly cash. Frank
Campion standing in the stairway
leading to the basement was thrown
UP onto the street but was not injur-
ed to any extent.
The smoke effected the eyes Of the
fire fighters in such a manner that
many are hardly able to see today.
Chief Sutherland Is confined to mis-
home. but win be out in very short
time.
VIM. Johnson, proprietor OF the bar
Der shop, places his loss at $4,000.
partly covered by insurance A vaiu-
able bird dog was drowned or suffo-
Gated In his shop, as well as cat.
The stock OF groceries owned by
Conger and Preignetz was badly dam
aged. although some canned goods es-
capped. Their loss will be close to
35, 900.
The building escaped with very lit
tie damage. II was estimated today
that $500 would cover the loss. A
portion of the floor is burned through
while the ceiling In the basement was
damaged.

tives, held long conference at the

GIRLS ACCUSE z
RICH COLLEGE BOYS

Pittsburg. Sept. I6.--The college
town Of Washington, Pa, known as
one Of the most aristocratic in the
state. is sizzling with one Of the great
est scandals in its history. Two sons
of rich men man are in the county jail
charged with serious offenses. while
the families have not come to their
rescue with bail. Warrants have been
issued for the arrest Of ten more young
men OF prominent families and they
have left town. Policemen are lnsti-
eating a general search for them, not
withstanding that powerful influe-
ence is being brought to bear against
this energy.
The arrests were made when the
Duane hotel, a small but exclusive
hosiery, was raided last midnight, the
fathers of two girls leading the police
TO the place.
These girls, twelve and fifteen years
old, disappeared from their homes last
Saturday and II was reported they had
clipped with two actors. The brother
Of one OF the girls had been searching
for her throughout this section Of the
state. The girls returned to their
homes last night and said two men had
taken them to the Duane hotel and
kept them there. They also named
other young men or the town who had
been at the hotel at the same time
and described how other young girls.
all of weIl-to-do families. had been
brought there.
The girls described hesitatingly, an
orgy Of two days duration, and upon
the conclusion OF their recital the
fathers Immediately obtained poles as
sistance and led the raid On the hotel.

young men who visited All the place,

CASE
UP TOMORROW
EGcE MURDER CASE WILL BE
CONTINUED FRIDAY AFTER
NOON AT 4 o'cLocK-MIss
LILLIAN WRIGHT WILL BE AN
IMPORTANT WITNESS.

The case Of Frank Ketnman. charg-
ed with the murder Of DIR. Thron Egge.
win be continued tomorrow afternoon
at O'Clock.
One Of the important features Of
the preliminary hearing will be the
appearance Of Miss Lillian Wright on
the stand. 1t is probable that Miss
Wright will prove to be the star wit
ness of the case for she seems to be
the only one, who was in any way,
a. witness to the awful crime. While
not stated by the attorneys 1t Is
nevertheless evident that the case was
postponed to allow Miss Wright to
recover from tine shock she received
when she saw what had happened on
the night OF the murder Of Doctor
Egge. She has now recovered suffi-
GENTLY to take the witness stand and
will in all probability be examined at
the trial tomorrow.
The counsel for the defense stiH
seems to be up in the air. No definite
statements can be secured although 1t
is persistently rumored that Atty. w.
III. Barnett Of Fargo will represent
the defendant. However, Mr. Bar
nett would not make a statement
this afternoon on the matter. In
Moorhead 1t seems to be the prevail
Ing opinion that If Attorney Nye, VINO
is still out Of the city, VIII not take
the case Attorney Barnett will repre-
sent Kethman.
Had PremonItTon Of Fate.
Yesterday afternoon DIR. Egge's
office was opened for the first time
since his tragic death. At the time Of
the murder ne had the keys to his
Office on his person and when his
body was found the keys were miss
ing. Efforts were made the next day
to secure keys to enter the Office to
secure microscopes to examine the
blood found on Kethman's clothing
but they could not be located. SO the
Office was not entered until yester-
day.
AS was to be expected there was
nothing In the suite of rooms to give
any clue to the case. However. there
Is talk going the rounds of the streets
that DIR. Egge had premonition of
his impending end. Only a short time
before his death ne made his wife
thoroughly acquainted with his affairs
at the office, according to report and
also gave her the plans of the new
home which was being built for him.
From many other things done by the
doctor 1t appears that he seemed to
feel that something was going to
happen to him and was preparing for
the emergency.

Chicago. Sept. 16-Cables on wheat
* at Id lower and on corn u higher.
Receipts OF wheat In the northwest
are very liberal but receipts in the
winter wheat markets are falling off.
Some 1--WE or six cargoes OF wheat
were bought for shipments from Du-
luth to Chicago. But some premium
over the December option was paid
for It.
With the weakness in the foreign
markets It looks as though wheat
should sell lower but sthe winter
wheat millers, especially east OF the
Mississippi river are complaining OF
scarcity OF wheat.
We undoubtedly will have ner-
vous market owing to the situation.
Receipts OF corn are moderate. East
ern demand is slow. There is quite a
snort interest here in September corn
and considerable congestion may show
up before the end Of the month.
Receipts OF oats are moderate bur
eastern demand slow. Stocks are nc
cumulating here.
Receipts Of hogs under the estimate
and stocks are being steadily reduced.
