Three City Squares Swept, and
Citizens Put Up Heroic
Battle.

Saltwater. - Serving life sentence
for murder, convict in the Saltwater
prison known as "Sinbad, the Sail
or" put away all thoughts of escape
during the excitement of the fire near
the prison and labored heroically to
save the prison from the flames.
That the prison was not destroyed
is said to be due almost entirely to
his efforts and those of another of the
convicts whose name was not given
out
Warden VOTERS house was saved,
only suffering severe scorching OF
the paint, and that the entire north
end of Saltwater is not in ruins is
miracle. The fire-swept district COW
ers an area of three squares. The es-
timated total loss of $4,000 is only
partially covered by insurance.
Of unknown origin, the fire started
at 2 p. m. in the warehouse of the
Northwest Thresher company. 1he
flames spread rapidly, famed by a
strong east wind. At o'clock the
fire was quenched and that more dam
age was not accomplished was due to
the efforts of the Saltwater fire de.
partment, augmented by hundreds Of
volunteers.
Bronson Residence Saved.
Lines of hose were run over the hill
and ]. N. Bronson's residence was saw
ed. However, Judge Nethaway's $751;
900 residence was completely destroy
ed. The old Nick ABB residence was
also consumed Volunteers fought be-
hind barbados, the flames were so
fierce
Company X of the National guard,
state of Minnesota, Captain Nolan
commanding, patroled the streets. All
the west side of Main street from the
Saltwater Manufacturing company's
plant to the prison was in flames.
Mrs. John Boo's boarding house was
another old landmark wiped out by
the flames. From Linden street on the
south to Cherry street on the south
as far west as the ravine, the flames
swept. The entire force of the Street
Railway company turned in and push
ed many of the street cars out of the
fire zone.
St. Paul Department Sends Aid.
A portion of the st. Paul fire de-
partment arrived by train within an
hour after the first alarm was sounded,
but it was then thought unnecessary
to remove the apparatus from the train.

Northwestern Thresher company
warehouse $4,000.
Judge ]. c. Nethaway, residence
loss, $4,000.
Thomas Alexander, residence loss,

Edward Fitzgerald In River.

Minneapolis.-Aft two weeks of
arduous searching by his friends and
deputy sheriffs, the body of Edward
Fitzgerald, who disappeared more than
two weeks ago from his home at
Hassan, has been found in. the Grow
river. No marks of violence were
found on the body and it is believed
that the man ended his life while
mentally deranged. This theory is
held by residents of Hassan, who say
that Fitzgerald had been acting in a
strange manner for some time before
he left home.

Residents Are Alert.

Residents Are Alert.
Duluth = There is very grave
danger of forest fires in the vicinity of
Duluth and all over the Iron Ranges.
A fire has been reported near Alger,
near Mile post 81 on the Iron Range
road. Another is burning near Bovey,
and another at the headwaters Of
French river.
Grass and brush fires have been
started near Duluth, but have been
promptly extinguished. With the
memory of Chisholm in mind, people
all over Northern Minnesota are anx-
ious and quick to act in extinguishing
fires once they get started. The whole
region is dry as finder and the condi-
lions are dangerous in the extreme.
Section crews on the railroads have
been instructed to watch for fires on
the right-of-ways and put them out
without delay.

Newfoundland Bad Record.

The Newfoundland Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis is carrying
on vigorous. and necessary campaign
this year in the island. The death
rate from the disease in Newfoundland
is very large. About one in every
five of the total population dies of it,
and, what is worse, in the last six
years the death rate, which is sta
'tionary or decreasing elsewhere, has
increased about SO per cent. This is
due largely to the native horror of
fresh air in the house.

coin and paper money and making
their escape. There were at least
three in the party.
The town was aroused by three ex-
plosions. Firearms were not at hand
and no effort was made to stop the
raid of the bandits or effect their cap
ture. In fact, the robbers were in
flight when the sleeping town came
to realization of what had occurred.
The bandits were heavily armed and
prepared to resist any interference.
This was shown when an occupant of

Those who warn young people of an
inquiring mind not to investigate i'm
partially the grounds of their belief
in all important matters give advice
directly contrary to that of the Apostle
Paul. He said: Prove all things;
hold fast the good" Those who give
such advice thereby show lack of
faith in their own system of doctrine.
The truth suffers only from a one
sided or incomplete investigation; it
has nothing to fear from an exhaustive
research. Alexander Pope had this in
mind when he wrote: "A little learn

The refusal of William Jennings
Bryan to support the democratic presi-
dental candidate in 1912 would mean
the loss of enough votes in several
states to give the electoral vote to the
republican candidate. His first choice
is Folk of Missouri but there is little
probability that he could unite the
party. At present it appears that
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey,
comes nearer filling the measure of an
available candidate than any other
democrat. No important element in
