BARN IS
BURNED

Fire destroyed the barn, garage,
and chicken coop on the Carl Hebron
property, 903 Eleventh street, short
ly before p. m. today. The fire de-
partment was called after the build
ings were mass of flames and when
the men arrived they found the rear
portion of the house b1istering in the
heat and ready to break into flames.
The department. was able to save the
house but could do nothing for the
outbuildings.
The origin of the fire is not known.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hebron are in the coun-
try on an auto trip having left the
city Sunday. It is said that there
was an old machine in the garage
which was destroyed The interior
of the house was only slightly dam
aged. Several children were seen
playing near the barn shortly before
the fire broke out and it is thought
that they may have set fire to the
building in some manner.
Several explosions, believed to
have been caused by dynamite stored
in the barn, assisted in wrecking the
buildings and also had the effect of
keeping spectators at distance The
fire is the first that has called out the
Bemidji department since early in
the summer.

PUT CLAY ON ROAD.

Clay furnished to the city free of
charge by the Red Lake road has been
put on the street running from the
Great Northern depot to the Red Lake
depot and on Irvine avenue from the
Red Lake depot to the bridge over the
railroad tracks. The clay was hauled
in by the road~from a pit north of
the city and spread on the streets by
the street gang. A bed six inches
deep was laid on both streets and this
will be covered with a fine layer of
sand as the clay is heavy. Formerly
the heavy sand on the streets made
hauling of freight to and from that
section of the city exceedingly diff
cult.

Will Be Possible to Drive From Fifth
Street to East City Limits Over
Solid Surface.

Totals ..231 SO 2O7 Al
| Although the vote cast at the spec
lal election yesterday was light, the
bonds in both cases were carried by
a wide margin. Bids for the paving
| were received by the city council on
Monday night and will be opened at
special meeting tonight. The meet
ing this evening was called for the
purpose of canvassing the vote but
the bids will be considered at the
same time. 1t is probable that the
work will be begun at once and the
road ready for use early in Septem-
| Der in time for the fall hauling.
Specifications for the road call for
a highway eighteen feet wide and
six and seven inches thick. The
pavement Will start at the foot of
Third street, making pavement on
Third street to the city dock, and
will run south on Bemidji avenue to
! the rear of the Northern Grocery
company plant. 1t will start again
on the east side of the Mississippi
river short distance from the bridge
and will run to the city limits. The
city line is at the top of the hill be-
fore the road crosses the M. and I.
tracks
Between the end of the pavement
at the Northern Grocery plant and
where it again starts to the east of
the bridge, the street commissioner
has laid out a gravel road that has
been graded and is now as hard as
table top. With the pavement in
place, it will be possible to drive
from Fifth street to the east city linn
its over roadway second to none in
the state of Minnesota.
The second set of bonds, in the sum
of $4,000, is to be used in taking I'D
outstanding warrants of the poor
fund. On July 81, the poor fund was
overdrawn $6,297.49. The bonds
will be used to pay up $1,000 in war
rants which have been standing
against the city for some time.
Both sets of bonds are to be bought
with money in the sinking fund SO
that the city will. not be paying In
terest to an outside purchaser.

Booths condition grew worse today
He was weaker and his mind FREE
quently wandered. His doctors said
they could hold out no hope of his re-
covery.
His death is considered a question
Of days at most and possibly only
hours.
It is practically certain that Bran
well Booth, General Booths son, and
chief Of staff, will succeed to the SUI
preme command of the Salvation
Army upon his. fathers death. The
generals choice, which will be i'm
plicitly followed out, will not be de-
5nitely known until his will is open
ed.
