FLEE FROM FIRE At H0UPT
Special Train Carries Women to Safety
80 Fight Flames at Rainier.

Fires in the forest between Ten
strike and International Falls have
done damage during the past few
days near the towns of Blabkduck,
Funkley, Kelliher, Gemmell, Little
Fork and Big Falls.
The Weyerhauser interests have
had some of its white timber so
badly scorched that it will be
necessary to log it the coming win
ter.
Ranger Shannon, who returned
last night from business trip to
international Falls, tells of bad
scare to the residents OF Houpt,
northeast of Funkley. The fires
there became so serious that the
M. & |. officials ordered a train
out from Kelliher to carry the
women and children to places of
safety. Under the directions of
Rangers Grove and Hoffman the
flames were checked and the resi-
dents returned.
A bad fire at Rainier started in a
newly plated part of the village
and it took Ranger Hodson and
thirty men until late yesterday to
check it. 1t is reported to have
been set by persons working for
the townsite company IN clearing
up the new addition.
There are no bad fires in the
southern half of Beltrami county"
said Ranger Shannon. Several are
burning in the ground but it would
cost the state more to put them out
than it would be worth.
incidentally, it should be under
stood that all fires do not do damage.
In fact in many cases they are a
benefit as they assist in clearing the
ground.'

ROOSEVELT GIVES WARNING
Announces from Train That He Favors
New York Progressives.

Carroll, Iowa, Aug. 27.-Theodore
Roosevelt definitely aligned himself
with the progressives of New York
state in a statement which he issued
on the train as he was travelling
across Iowa. He is to be delegate
to the state convention. His state
ment says:
1.-The progressives are emphati->
cally in favor of taking a real step
forward about direct primaries
substantially on the lines of Gov
ernor Hughes, proposition, but
this is not the main issue.
The main issue is that we
stand against bossism, big or little,
and in favor of genuine popular
rule, not only at the elections. but
within the party organization, and
above all that our war is ruthless
against every species of corruption,
big or little, and against the alliance
between corrupt business and corrupt
politics, as to it has been found
that, too often in the past, the boss
system has offered a peculiarly
efficient and Objectionable means of
communication"

were unacquainted,s so that it was
feeling of anger against all of the
twenty five men composing the
camp which impelled Durkee to
make the effort to "get man,"
rather than a personal feeling
againstany one individual.
That the mayor escaped death
is due to the fact that he did not
happen to be in the direct path of
the insane lumberjack.
Only 20 Feet Away.
Pc AS it was he was not more than
twenty feet from the maniac when he
buried his axe in McGuire's back at
point just below the left shoulder
blade.
Durkee's first blow was hit with
the broad side of the weapon and it
crushed McGuire's nose. Mcclure
gave a yell and started to run.
Durkee ran a few steps, took a
swinging blow and landed the blade
square in McGuire's back.

Durkee then defed the men to

Mayor Parker who had started to-

logs ran like deer, soon being lost

Both Durkee and Mcclure are
unmarried.
In Danger From Loss of Blood.
Deputy Cahill said Mcclure was
still bleeding when he reached him
at 9 o'clock. Mcclure was in a
greatly weakened condition and but
for the prompt attention given him
probably would have bled to death.
AS soon as the wounded man had
been properly cared for, the lumber
camp employees augmented by
several farmers, and under direction
of Constable Stewart began the
search for the maniac, whose capture
will be dangerous because of his
being armed with the axe.

BY the narrowest possible margin
John c. Parker, mayor of Bemidji,
missed being assassinated at Keili-
her when William Durkee, a laborer,
probably crazed from drink, sprang
by him and hit Tony Mcclure, an
old time lumberjack with an axe.
McGuire's nose was broken and
deep cash inflicted on his back. He
is now in the Bemidji hospital in
dangerous condition.
The assassin escaped and is being
hunted by Constable Dan Stewart
in charge of posse of thirty men;
Durkee is still armed with the axe.
Durkee Suddenly Becomes Violent.
The attempted murder took place
at the logging camp of Mayor
Parker, who was directing the work
at the time.

CASES FROM FERGUS FALLS BAD.
Mother of Eleven Children Found in
Rain Soaked House of Logs With
Husband Drunk.

St. Paul, Aug. 27-(Special to the
Pioneer)-Five thousand children
have been born of insane parents in
Minnesota and are living in the
state. There may be more. The
records are not complete. But statis-
tics in the office of the state board
of health show the number to be
increasing annually, with no legal
means of suppressing it. There were
in the institutions for the insane on
July 81 a total of 1856 inmates,
some of them violently insane;
some showing mental derange-
ment in slight form. AS time
goes by many of these are liberated
-adjudged sufficiently in condition
to be able to care for themselves and
not harmful to others.
Hundreds Become Parents.
Records show that hundreds of
them have gone back to their homes
and become parents Of children, who,
according. to laws of heredity, are
doomed sooner or later to become
the wards of the state in an asylum,
a prison or hospital.
I have not kept an accurate
account of these cases." one in
spector has written the Board of
Control, but I know of many women
who. after being paroled, have con-
tinued to rear children"
Shows lis Weak Minded Children.
To call the attention of the Board
of Control to some of the con-
ditions which exist, the inspector
cities twenty separate families to
which periodical visits have been
made. Either the father or mother
in all of them has been an inmate
of one of the state institutions. In
these twenty families lis children
have been born, and with barely an
exception all of them are either de-
formed or weak-minded, and some
time probably will become wards
of the state.
Some of the cases of parole cited
by inspector, follow:
Fergus Falls Cases Cited.
Fergus Falls State Hospital:
Woman, the mother of five children
one IL days old when she was com.
mitted to the institution. Her
mother insane and her father a
drunkard. Husband a drinking
man and not very kind.
From Fergus Falls state Hospital:
Woman, 81 years old, mother of five
children, the oldest weak minded.
Her mother insane and her father
drunkard and morphine user. Says
her husband is drunkard and why
not she?'
In All Parts of State.
From Fergus Falls State Hospi.
tai: Woman, IS years old, mother
of II children. Husband drunk
and shiftless. They live in a house
of logs built for a logging camp,
miles from any town. When the
inspector called, it was raining
and the house was leaking.
The insane families are in all
parts of the state, and how to pre-
vent them from bringing children
into the world is the problem con-
fronting the Board of Control.
