Useful Pamphlet Prepared and Pub
Iished by Hancock Attorney

Attorney John Kiiskila has just pub
lished pamphlet containing much
Information of value to prospective
citizens. that will be of great service
to applicants for naturalization pa
pers in circuit court. The need of
such a book was impressed upon Mr.

tions put to applicants and the re-
plies that were given. Some of these
replies have been very amusing Us
for instance that of the man who
said that Justice Olivier OF Hancock
was the chief peace officer Of Hough-
ton county. The book contains ques-
tions and answers relative to the gov
eminent of the United States. of the
county, city and township, matters
touching upon the constitution and n
large number of other questions such
as are liable to be asked of those APP
plying for citizenship papers. The
book is printed in both English and

TOOK ONLY THREE MINUTES
GETTING TO SCENE OF FIRE.
Department Makes a Quick Run
From Station to Location
of Alarm Box.
SMALL DWELLING IS Quilted

The Hancock fire department made
one of the quickest runs In It's history
last evening In getting to a fire in
West Hancock. II being only three
minutes after the alarm was turned In
that the hose wagon driven by Joe
McGrath, arrived at the box from
which the alarm was sent. II is pos
slble that just as fast runs may have
been made before but that of yester-
day was noted by the man who sent I'm
the alarm who timed the arrival Of the
department.
A fire started about o'clock last
evening i'm a small story and a half
frame house on Corey and Fourth
streets and occupied by two families.
boy was sent to the nearest fire
alarm box, "a, at the corner OF Michl-
gan and Railroad avenue. but he did
not know how to operate 1t and so
asked AL Fredd to assist him. The
latter pressed down the handle and
took out his watch to see how long IL
would take the firemen to arrive. 1t
was just three minutes when the blacks
dashed up the hill to the point where
the box was located Mr.. Fredd once
timed a fire run in Valparaiso Ind,
under similar conditions for about the
same distance and the time made there
was seven minutes.
The fire had made considerable head
way when the firemen arrived, the In
side of the dwelling being a mass OF
flames. A quantity of furniture was
saved but most of IL was saturated
with water. The fire Is said to have
started from the old familiar cause.
children playing with matches I'm a
clothes closet, and the result was that
the entire interior of the building was
ruined. 1t was owned by a man named
Laurikainen, formerly a Baptist Fin
nlsh minister here, who with his fam
lily occupied the second story OF the
building. The loss is partially cover
ed by insurance, amounting to about
six hundred dollars.
Complaint is made by some of the
firemen of interference by outsiders,
who while trying to help them, only
get in the way and hinder the work.
This occurred last evening when one
fireman was struck in the eye with a
nozzle through the misdirected efforts
of an outsider to seize the hose az
soon as II was attached to the hydrant.

DIR. Ben RIDER TO WE'D
IN DULUTH NEXT TUESDAY
millionaire Tramp" Quits the
Road and Will Take Up
Domestic Life.
PLANS TO GO INTO BUSINESS

DR.. Ben Ridder, the millionaire
Tramp" who visited the copper coun-
try recently. will quit the open road
His wanderings will end I'm matrimony
Tuesday afternoon in this city. says
the Duluth News-Tribune.
Monday evening he will deliver his
last lecture, when he will appear on
the stage of the Sunbeam theater AT
1880 o'clock. The next day at o'clock
he will be married to Miss Ellen
Christensen, of Minneapolis. in the de-
partment store of Panton e. White.
Dr. Ridder and his prospective bride
called at the office of Clerk J. =. John
son OF the district court shortly after
o'clock yesterday afternoon and Sc
cured a license to wed.
Following his marriage DIR. Ridder
intends to settle down and make Du-
luth his home. He says that the wan
derlust with which his soul was filed
has given way to love and he no long
er desires to roam but, on the contrary,
feels n longing to make home for
himself and the girl he loves.
Just exactly what business he will
engage in he Is not certain but he says
he expects to start mercantile clear
ing house business, as prior to the be-
ginning of his wanderings nine years
ago he had experience in that line OF
work.
Miss Christensen, the prospective
bride. is a most attractive young wo-
man. She has not been in the United
Gates very long. She came from
Minneapolis to Duluth few days ago.
DIR. Ridder, according to his own
story, traces his origin no further than
n basket containing a baby. himself,
which was hung on the doorknob of a
number OF the Danish reichstag in Co.
penhagen.
The congressman, as he Is known,
adopted the baby. AS Ridder grew to
manhood he became imbued with the
political beliefs of his foster father,
who is editor of socialist newspaper,
and coming to America, began to adj
vocate socalistic doctrines.
In New York Ridder was admitted
to practice medicine and then after a
time he went to California where he
was admitted to practice law, accord
ing to his story.
But the wanderlust took him and he
decided TO try the life of tramp for
year, more to study conditions than
anything else, he says. At the end of
the year the life had taken such hold
of him that he stuck to 1t until he met
Miss Christensen and then came the
wish for n home.
That, in nutshell. is the story of
one OF the most picturesque characters
who has struck Duluth in long time.
When he first got here. about two
months ago, he wore army leggings,
fur cap. heavy blue army coat with red
lining and n khaki shirt.
Last week i'm Superior these were
cast aside. He adopted ordinary citi-
zens' garb. The prospect of becom-
ing benedict has changed him Won
derfully and he talks OF his coming
happiness i'm much the same manner
that child goes into ecstacies over
new toy He is at the st. Louis hotel
Riders great boast Is that he has
never paid cent for transportation.
He is reputed to have large fortune
i'm his own name in the old country.
