ALLEGED ATTEMPT
TO BURN HOTEL
LIVES OF TWENTY-FouR PEOPLE
THREATENED-cAN FILLED
WITH GASOLINE Ex-
PLopEs.

KenmAre N. d. Nov. 1S.-What is
now believed to have been dastardly
attempt to burn the building known
as the Florence hotel, was discovered
at an early hour in the morning, when
an alarm of fire was sent in by the
night clerk in charge.
At the time fire was discovered,
there were twenty-four people sleep
ing in the building, those occupying
the upstairs of the hotel getting out
with safety. Three men who were
sleeping in q downstairs room, re-
ceived burns to hands, face and arms.
The cause Of the fire, as near as
can be ascertained. came from an ex-
plosion of a three gallon can Of gaso-
line, which had been placed in small
parlor off the dining room. The ex-
plosive had been placed behind two
chairs, hidden from the view OF any
ono that may have happened to be
in the rooms. From this room, a bed
room connects in the rear, in which
three transients were sleeping.

rifle between his legs with the end OF
the barrel against his right breast. In
his hand he held stick taken from
the bottom OF a windo wcurtain, with
which he pushed the trigger. The
bullet passed through his body strik
ing the aorta and going on through
the body. Death was instantaneous.
After going through his body the bull
let passed through the dining room
wall and then through the roof Of the
kitchen.
Schultz was 26 years old at the time
Of his death. He was the son OF jos
ephi Schultz. one OF the old timers of
Morton county. He was a widower
with one small child The direct cause
OF his rash act was due. IT Is thought,
to q woman whom he intended TO
marry and also to the fact that he had
passed several checks on merchants in
Mandan on the bank Of Fort Rice in
which he had no funds and he feared
the consequences. Just who the wo-
man in the case was can not be as
certained, but from what he said she

giving any reason. Just what occurred
IN 81. Paul is only a matter of con-
jecttre, but 1t apparently was the main
cause for his act.
Schultz was apparently a hard work
ing man and had a good claim. He
had succeeded fairly well for young
man Of his age, and just within the
last few months he had gone astray.

ALLEGED N. P.
BANDIT FREE

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 1s.-James
Massey, arrested here on complaint Of
his wife, who charged that he had
beaten her, and who was suspected
Of being implicated in the hold-up Of
the North Coast Limited on the North
ern Pacific at Buffalo. N. D., July 10,
is a free man. There was no evidences
to connect him with the hold up
Massey was taken to the peniten-
tiary on information given by his wife
that he had admitted having part in
the hold-up. There he was confronted
by John Young, self confessed train
robber, but Young denied that he knew
Hassey.
Massey told the officers that his
only connection with the train rob-
berry was his proximity to the scene
Of the hold-up. He admitted that he
was accompanied across the country
on the night Of the hold-up on an auto
tour by companion who went by the
name Of Beans"
It was his auto that the farmers
noticed. They believed that the train
robbers had escaped in the machine
The officers spent good deal OF time
looking for the strange auto and its
occupants.
AS there was no evidence to justify
holding Massey longer. he was dis
charged.

UNFORTUNATE HAD
NARROW ESCAPE

Sheldon Progress: Half starved and
almost frozen to death, a young man
named Brown was found in a haystack
about four miles north of Buttzville.
by a posse Of citizens who thought he
might be an escaped convict.
The young fellow appeared in
Buttzville Thursday noon. He was
greatly emaciated and acted so
strangely that the people Of Buttz-
Vile thought he was either a con-
Wet or had made his getaway from
the insane asylum. Friday morning
the man was reported to have been
seen about four miles north of Buttz-
Vile still acting strangely, and a
posse. consisting of James May, Ed
Seelig and Carl Danielson, armed
themselves to the teeth intent on cap
turing the man whom they consid-
cred either crazy or desperate.
They easily located the man in a
haystack near where he had last been
seen, and approaching cautiously they
ordered him to throw up his hands.
The fellow did not move muscle
and 1t was found, that he was half
dead with cold and hunger. He was
taken to the home of Peter Shelver
who lives nearby where he was
thrawed out and fed.
An investigation revealed the fact
that Brown had just been discharged
from the hospital at Lisbon, of which
he had been an inmate for six weeks
suffering from typhoid fever. The
man was a county charge having besS
picked UP at Mcleod some time ago
nearly dead with the fever. He had
come here from parts unknown to
work In the harvest fields. After his
discharge from the hospital the county
commissioners provided him with a
boarding place until he should be-
come strong enough to work, but last
week he suddenly disappeared. A
search failed to reveal his whereabouts
and 1t was believed he had left the
city by the side door Pullman route
and nothing was thought of his dis
appearance until he was found near
Buttzville.

and had just stopped at the barn to
put UP his horses when he heard the
shot and went TO the house and found
the door locked, but upon investlga-
ton saw that his brother had shot
himself. He went for help and broke
down the door. 1t would appear that
Schultz died instantly.
