seven PERISH
in $1,000 FIRE

New York, Aug. 6.-Seven lives were
lost in a fire which destroyed a three
story lodging house in the foreign
quarter of Jamaica, L. /. the blaze
started in hallway, the only exit, and
spread so rapidly that few of the in
mates had an opportunity to escape.
The lodging house was occupied for
the most part by poor workmen en-
ployed in the neighborhood. The own
err, George Dunbeck occupied apart
ments with his family on the ground
floor. He and his household escaped
safely in their nightclothes by climb
ing through the windows to the
street.
The dead, five men and two women,
were foreigners. They were asleep at
the time and were all suffocated by
smoke as they lay in their beds.
The blaze was small one and a
single company of firemen with one
line of hose extlnguished 1t within a
few minutes. The property loss will
not exceed $1,000.

Pulled Body of Babe
From the Red River
Horrible Find Made BY Mrs. Pool and Little Daughter While
Fishing Last Evening Body Was Found IN Trunk
I, s. and Rolled Back Into the Water

While fishing in the Red river in,
the vicinity of the. James Toles farm
north of the city yesterday afternoon,
Mrs. Nicholas Pool and daughter
brought to the surface of the water an
old sunken trunk containing the body
of an infant which looked to be about
6 months old. The case was promptly
reported to the chief of police last
evening and this morning a searching
party was sent out from the police
station and coroner's office, but no
trace of the body could be found.
Mrs. Pool and daughter had gone
out on plank extending into the
middle of the stream at point which
is a favorite haunt for anglers and
swimmers near the Holes farm a short
distance from North Broadway. Late
in the afternoon the hook on one of the
lines caught something heavy and af-
ter exerting much strength the two
of them pulled to the surface Of the
water for a couple of minutes an old
trunk, which had sunken deeply in
the bed of the river. AS they pulled
the bottom of the trunk fell from the
sides and the body of an infant which
looked to be about months old at
least rolled back into the water.
Unable to do anything further to-
ward the rescue of the little body and
too Mortified to continue about the
place, the mother and child went at
once and notified Chief of Police
Bowers, who In turn sent immediate
word to the coroner. Nothing was

accomplished from the search last
night.
This, morning, party went out, ac-
companied by the Pool child, who
showed the men the spot of the dis
covery, nothing could be found. It
was evident that trunk. corpse and
all had been washed down with the
currant during the night.
Whether the infant was more than
s months old is a question in the mind
of Mrs. Pool. She is not sure, owing
to the mere feeting glance she OBJ
tanned OF 1t as IL rolled back into the
muddy stream and was lost to view.
1t might have been just born and
swollen with the water sweeping in
through the trunk, which evidently
had lain there for some time. She is Of
the impression, however, that there was
hair upon the head Of the little one
which confirms her belief that II was
at least months old before being
placed in its watery grave
At noon there had been no favorable
report from the searchers at the
coroner's office nor at the police head
quarters, and it is question whether
or not the body will ever be found, as
1t would have had time to have been
carried considerable distance in the
night before the searching party could
have had time to arrive at the scene
where the body was SEEN
When the body was placed inside the
trunk at the time of sinking 1t, the
bottom must have been weighted down
to make it sink, as the weight oc the
body could not sink IT.

meeting of the county central COM
mittee held in the courthouse last
evening, James A. Buchanan. insurg-
.ent candidate for governor, was UNI
animously selected for state commit
teeman. Mr.. Buchanan was present
and the delegates insisted on speech
from him.

told the delegates that primarily they
were republicans, and that he hoped
every man would work hard for the
success of the general republican
ticket at the coming election. He
wanted every republican who was
nominated at the primaries to be
elected, and hoped the regulars and
Insurgents would bury the Ratchet and
get together for the success of the
party. At the conclusion of his ad-
dress Mr.. Buchanan was given a
hearty ovation.
Secretary Walla moved that a com
mittee be appointed to prepare and
forward resolutions to the state COM
mittee pledging the support of the
Stutsman county committee to the en-
tire state ticket. Resolutions were pre-
pared and adopted. .E :;
Delegate VIM. Lenton from Sharlow
made Q strong appeal for party unity.
and said that Stutsman county was
originally and at all times republican,
and that the reason which caused the
county to give a majority for Burke
two years ago was absent this year,
and the nominee for governor and the
entire republican ticket should be
elected.
The attitude of the meeting was to
hide the hammer and toss the Ratchet
into the brook and work hard for the
party.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 6.--Not only
United States Senator Charles Curtis
Of Kansas. but also .Vice-President
Sherman, disapproved of the contracts
whereby, an attorneys fee' of $1,000
600 was to be allowed in the sale of
sSoOOo.oOO worth of Indian lands in
Oklahoma.
This assertion formed the substance
Of the testimony given by Senator
Curtis today before the committee APP
pointed by the house of representa-
tives to investigate what are known
as the McMurray contracts.
Senator Curtis came here to testify,
following the testimony given by Sen
ator T. P. Gore, who declared he had
been informed that Sherman and SEN
ator Curtis each were interested in
the contracts, the approval of which
by congress and President Taft was
sought by j. F. McMurray.
Senator Gore charged that a New
York syndicate stood ready to pur-
chase the land for $SO,OOOO0O and the
contracts held by McMurray called for
10 per cent attorneys fee, whereas
the Indian treaties with the govern
ment provided for the disposal of the
land without any expense to the In
dians on the floor of the senate and
in his testimony here Senator Gore
charged that he proposed sale was an
attempt to rob and plumber the In
dians.
