INSANE PERSONS ESCAPE FIRE
The 600 Patients at Brandon, Man,
Were Hustled Out Into a Storm
When Building Caught Fire.

Brandon, MANN the piercing cold
of a chilly November night 600 pa
tients of the asylum for the insane
huddled to gether in sheds and barns
as the result of fire that destroyed
the asylum.
Immediately it was seen that the fire
had gotten beyond control, the asylum
staff released the patients and by per-
suasion and threats headed them out
of the building in squads. Men, women
and children were huddled together
in every available out building, but
enough of them had sense to realize
the awful fate they had escaped and
assisted in quieting those who were
raving dangerously.

ALASKA LANDS ARE WITHDRAWN
The President viii Permit No More
Entries Until Congress Can Give
the Matter Consideration.

Washington, D. C.-By order OF
President Taft all the Alaska oil lands
are to be withdrawn from settlement,
thus putting them on the same footing
with the coal lands of Alaska; all OF
which have been withdrawn with the
exception of those that were located
prior to 1906.
There are known areas of oil pro-
duction in Alaska but there has been
no survey so that these cannot be To-
Gated by definite Withdrawals. Until
definite surveys can be made and diff
ferent methods of disposition of both
oil and coal lands can be made the
president thinks it advisable to with
draw them until congress can give the
subject consideration.

MOORE HELD FOR
INVESTIGATION

Though he is being held on charge
of disorderly conduct the police have
almost succeeded in weaving a net of
evidence about John r. Moore which
they believe will conclusively prove
that he was the individual who, after
throttling a man quickly went through
his pockets and then made good his es-
cape. His getaway was not for long,
however, as Charles Gholson, a bar ten
der in the saloon in which the robbery
was committed, gave chase and made
Moore come through with the pocket
book which contained $500. 1t was
impossible to learn the name of the
man who was robbed, though Patrol
man Rolf worked on the case yester-
day. The robbery occurred about 1
O'Clock yesterday morning and it is
thought by the police that Moore
choked the unknown and then rob-
bed him. Both were intoxicated.
