failing loss of about $4,000. with

supposed to have originated in the

like finder and although the local
fire department worked heroically,
nothing of the entire plant, includ-
ing lumber on the three-acre plat.
could be saved Several firemen
we're overcome by the intense heat
and the smoke OF the rich pine so
rapidly devoured by the flames. The
destruction of the plant will throw
about 60 laborers out OF employ

was valued about $4,000. The
buildings and stock OF lumbe rwas
valued at $4,000. George Green

MILLER BADLY
BEATEN AND
ROBBED
Was Lured From Saloon by
Smooth T~ale-Received
Bad Cuts on Head

Henry Miller, formerly a resident Of
southern Minnesota. now claiming
Larimore for his home where he has
been working for the past four
months. took a strangers tale too seri-
ously about 1880 o'clock this morning
with the result of his being held up
in the Northern Pacific railroad yards
and robbed of $11O. He is at the
present time confined at the st. Mi.
chael's hospital in Grand Forks sui.
fering from numerous bruises about
the head.
Miller was in one of the local
saloons drinking and after the closing
hours when told that he would have
to move along, started down the street
with a stranger. whom he had pur.
chased several drinks for. The strang-
er proposed a pleasure expedition.
The proposition was accepted and
the stranger led Miller toward the
Northern Pacific railroad yards.
Picking out a secluded spot, the
stranger pulled a heavy colts revolver
to throw up his hands, Miller refused
and the stranger started in to beat him
up, using the butt of the revolver as q
club. The victim vas knocked uncon-
scious and according to what he was
able to say in his weakened condition
must have laid there for nearly an
hour before coming to again.
When he regained consciousness,
Miller managed in some way to get
back to DeMers N and to q
saloon where he received aid. City
man was taken to the st. Michael's
hospital. Thirteen bad gashes were
found in his scalp, and about forty
stitches were necessary to close the
wounds.
Miller is still confined to the hospi-
tai suffering more from loss of blood
than from the wounds on his head.
Chief of Police Sullivan found the re.
Volver this morning and states that It
Is a wonder the mans head was not
crushed as the butt of the gun was
Ing been knocked off. Miller has fur
nished a description of the man and
a search is being made for him at the
present time.
Brakeman Held Up.
Miller vas not the only man to be
held up during the evening. Freight
Brakeman Richard Brown was held
up about midnight. but escaped with
out a loss or injury. He vas at work
In the railroad yards and was walking
back along the train of which he was
from between two box cars suddenly
and demanded Browns cash.
The brake refused to give up any
of his lucre and a lively fight was
started In which the holdup man came
OH, second best. The last seen of him
he was headed for Crookston on q
gallop.
