ESCAPED FLAMES
BARN ON THE J. n. DAVIS DAIRY
FARM THREE MILES SOUTH
WEST or FARGO DESTROYED
BY FIRE LAST EvENING-oNE
HORSE BADLY BURNED.

Fire broke out yesterday afternoon
between 5 and O'Clock at the farm
of ]. III. Davis, about three miles north
of Fargo. completely destroying the
structure, causing the death of one
horse and a small boy narrowly es-
capped the flames.
Mr.. Davis small children had gone
into the barn TO play during the aft
ernoon. While they were in the hay
NOV the place caught fire. The timo-
thy burned rapidly and the older boys
escaped from the hay loft, each look
ing after his own safety. When It
was thought that they were all out
IL was discovered that one Of the
younger boys was missing. A hurried
search was made, and the little lad
was rescued just before the hay loft
floor became completely enveloped in
flames
Mr.. Davis runs a dairy farm and he
had large quantity of hay in the loft
which was all destroyed. The total
loss will reach about $4,000. The
amount Of insurance is not known.
During the work OF getting out the
horses one of the animals was very
badly burned. 1t suffered a great deal
through the night and this morning.
It's condition was so serious that 1t
was shot to put it out Of misery.
The children do not know how the
fire started. They all say that they
carried no matches and the origin of
the fire is a mystery.

FIRST MAUSOLEUM
FOR NORTH DAKOTA
DAKOTA MONUMENT co. OF FAR
GO HAS SECURED THE CON.
TRACT FOR A BIG TOMB WHICH
WILL COST SEVERAL THOU
SAND DOLLARS.

The Dakota Monument Co. Of Far
go has secured the contract for the
first mausoleum to be erected in the
state of North Dakota. 1t will be
erected in one of the thriving cities Of
the state for prominent family. The
structure is to be made OF Vermont
granite, and will cost several thousand
dollars.
Mausoleums are used quite common
ly in the eastern and southern por-
lions of the United States and Of late
years quite a few have been erected
in the middle west.
It may be Of interest to many to
know something Of the origin Of the
mausoleum. The same is derived from
the tomb erected for Mausolus, king
Of Cara, In 353 3. G. It was one Of
the most magnificent monuments Of
the kind, and was considered one Of
the seven wonders Of the world. 1t
was described by Pliny as late as the
twelfth century, but must have been
overthrow by an earthquake soon
after. II was lao feet high and 100 by
126 feet at the base. Since the con-
struction of the first mausoleum, men
have been studying their construction
and making improvements, SO as to
prevent their falling apart as did
many of the ancient tombs.
The improved mausoleum Of today is
so constructed that 1t is impossible
for II to fall apart, and the interior
is so arranged that the bodies will
always remain In a good state of pres-
ervation.
With the possession OF a mausoleun
comes comforting sense Of security
in laying ones loved ones away in the
orypts II seems to soften the dres~
that comes with the thought of ground
interment or cremation.
II rightly constructed. mausoleum
should stand the march Of centuries
in which sense II becomes a true
monument.

BOUND OVER TO

JURY INVESTIGATION - CLAIM
ED THAT HE WAS A PARTNER
IN THE GREAT WEST ART co..
CONFLICTING TESTIMONY.

For two hours last evening In the
office of Commissioner Montgomery of
the U. s. court, a legal battle was
waged for the release of A. e. Halver-
son, charged with larceny, which end
ed in his being bound over TO the
grand jury, which will investigate his
case for a possible Indictment
The complaint charged Halverson
with taking from the u. s. mails a
letter containing money order and
alleged that he secured the money from
the order, by signing for 1t at the
money order window, which was q
thing that he had no right TO do. The
money order was for about s14 and
was made out to the Great West Art
Co
Halverson testified at the hearing
that he was one Of the partners in the
firm Of the Great West Art Co. and
that 1t was his right as partner 70
get the mail open II and secure the
money that came through the mail He
stated that J. r. Treubue, the man
ager Of the company had gone to Chi
cago on business and had left the key
with him while he was at Chicago so
that Halverson could get any mail.
Later he conflicted his testimony
when ne said that he had been given
instructions from Treubue and that
he had obeyed those instructions.
Previously he had stated that he need
ed to take no instructions from any
body.
Treubue denied that Halverson was
ever a partner in the Arm or had ever
been suggested as one. He gave Hal
version certain orders while In Chicago,
but had never given him powers to
even bank money. say nothing Of draw
ing it or cashing any checks or money
orders. He stated that the defendant
was simply a solicitor employed on
commission basis.
The defendants bond was fixed at
$500 and so far he has not been able
TO furnish that amount. His father
is here from Fergus Falls and IL is
thought that he will arrange for the
necessary bond for his son.
This is the second time that Hal
verson had been In trouble, once be-
fore having been arrested and served
a sentence on the charge Of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
