GASOLINE EXPLOSION IN LISBON,
A Fatal Mixture Kills Two Men and
Terribly Burns Two,

Terribly Burns Two.
Lisbon.-As q result of a terrific ex-
plosion of gasoline in a dry cleaning
shop, Robert Creig and Clarence
Thompson are dead and John Bastzen
md Harry Colby are terribly burned
and both will be disfigured for life.
The shop in which the explosion &C.
CURED was a small n story wooden
building, and it was owned and run
by Robert Creig, son of Rev. r. H.
Creig. pastor of the Lisbon Methodist
church.
The four young men were the only
occupants of the building at the time.
Creig had a mixture of benzine and
gasoline which he was using for clean
ing purposes. It Is believed that a
parlor match was lying on the floor
and that one of the men stepped on
It, for suddenly. without warning there
was q terrific explosion and at once
the interior was a mass of flames.
The force of the explosion was so
great that Bertzen and Colby were
both hurled clear through the window
to the street outside and it is probably
owing to this fact that they owe their
lives. Creig and Thompson were so
terribly burned that they both died
during the night. after suffering un-
told agonies. The building was en-
tirely destroyed.
Thompson was a young English
man who had come to North Dakota
to work in the harvest fields. The
other three were we'll known Lisbon
young men. Colby vas taken to a
hospital at Fargo and Bertzen is con-
fined in a hospital here.

Pointers on NaturaliZa=
ton.

One question of which information
is frequently being sounght is the one
of naturalization. People living here
who have friends in the old country
should be quite sure of the informa-
tion which they give them as to pro-
cedure on arrival at the port Of New
York. Robert S. Coleman, chief nat
uraliZation officer, who is touring
Minnesota, gives out the following
information:
"All candidates for citizenship who
have come here in the last five years
must,show certificates from the depart
ment of commerce and labor of the
date of their arrival in this country,
under q law passed by congress June
~, 1906, which will soon be in effect.
Aliens who applied for citizenship
papers before last month and had been
in this country five years, received
their papers on the testimony of two
Witnesses as to the length of their
residence here. Blanks have been
sent to clerks of courts throughout
the country, which are to be fillod out
by She applicant and sent to the Office
Of the department. of m and
labor, which will forward the certif-
cate of arrival to the clerk of the
court"

Study Dry Farming.

Mohall.-An unusual method of
gaining information on the question
of dry farming was taken by Mohall
farmers when they decided to make
trips to the Ross Martin farm in
Mountrail county. Martin has come
to be recognized as one OF the best
"dry farmers" in the state, having
been eminently successful in this field
of endeavor. The Mohall business
men were back OF the movement look
ing to the carrying Of Mohall farmers
to the Martin farm that they might
have an opportunity of viewing the
work and profiting thereby.

A case at the West London police
court, in which a housemaid was
charged with stealing money Tin Or

gives rise to this question.
I. MI. Fordham. the magistrate, ad-
dressed some stern remarks to tho
Scots guardsmap, who was in court,
on the meanness of this form Of cadg-
Ing.
"This Is a dirty, mean. scurvy
thing" he said. "a meaner. more
scurvy thing could not be.
How q man, a creature, an animal call
ing himself a man could take money
from a poor girl working as a house

ting money anywhere you car. 1t Is
perfectly disgracetUl. and II / saw my

According to opinions gathered
from prominent business mea. social
reformers and others, the "cadgins
creature" Is to be found in all walks
Of lite, particularly amongst the upper
olaases.

Ills acts. however. are gilded yer

calls 1t a loan-but never intends to
pay it back.
