Mitchell, S. d., March 13.-Four
children We're burned to death when
the farm home of ]. G. Jacques, IL
miles northeast of this city, was de-
and after lighting the fire went up
stairs. He soon smelled smoke drift
ing up the stairway. The fire had
burned beneath the stairs and when
Jacques descended them, he fell
through the flames to the floor below.
Jacques CROPPED his way to the open
air and then called to his wife to
throw the children through the win
dow to his arms, but when Mrs.
Jacques opened the window she,
swooned and fell through the window
to the ground sustaining severe in
uiries.
The children were overcome by
smoke and We're unable to get to the
window to be saved and their little
bodies were found burned to crisp
when the fire burned itself out Mr.,
and Mrs. Jacques were burned to
some extent.
Neighbors at Farwell raised 500 in
cash and furnished clothing, and the
business men at Artesian raised $3.50
and sent out some clothing for the dis

they had.

seven sledges, ninety dogs, and pro,
visions for four months started. The
ground was perfect, the temperature
not bad. The next day it appeared that
we had started too early, as the tenn
perature of the following days fell and
kept between minus so and 60 Celsius
(5S degrees and 76 degrees below
Fahrenheit). Personally we did not suf-
fer at all from this cold as our good
furs protected us, but with our dogs it
was different matter 1t could easily
be seen that they shrunk from day to
day, and we soon understood that they
could not stand the long run to our
depot at 80 degrees south.
We agreed to return and wait for the
arrival Of spring. The provisions were
cached, and off we went for the hut.
With the exception of the loss of a
few dogs and couple Of frozen heels
everything was all right
In the middle of October spring

From our winter quarters Gram

we arrived at a place where the land

done without any great difficulty. The

800 feet, some big crevices on the

which we now had to attack looked
quite imposing. The nearest summit

further south were $4,000 feet Or more.
The next day we began the climb.

start for the east and visit King
Edward land. This last mentioned trip
was not included in our program, but,
owing to the fact that the English had
not reached it, at least this summer, as
was their intention, we all agreed that
the best thing to do was to make this
trip also.
On October 20 the southern party
started five men -four sledges, fifty
two dogs, and provisions for four
months, everything in excellent order.
The Journey to the Pole.
We had made up our minds to take
the first part of the trip as easily as
possible, in order to give ourselves and
the dogs a rational training, and on the
23rd we made our depot in 80 degrees
south. We went right ahead
On account of the intense fog an
error of two to three kilometers hap.
pened once in awhile, but we were
caught by the flag marks, and found
these on our way without difficulty.
Having rested and fed the dogs on
all the salt meat they were able to eat
we started again on the Goth with the
temperature steadily between minus
20 and 80 Celsius a degrees and %

From the start it was the intention
not to drive more than 30 kilometers

little for our strong, willing animals

DEFENDANTS CHARGED WITH
UNLAWFUL TRANSPORTED
TON OF DYNAMITE.
LONG CONTEST BEGUN
Motion to Quash the indictments De-
nied-OnIy Eight of Fifty-four
Men, Accused of Conspiracy,
Are Absent.

Indianapolis, March IS. - Forty-six
labor union leaders, charged with I'M
lawful interstate transportation of dy-
Mantle and nitroglycerin, alleged to
have been used in a five-year campaign
of terrorism against the open shop"
in the structural industry throughout
the country, were arraigned in the
federal court.
Demurrers to indictments against
the defendants were filed before
Judge A. B. Anderson by counsel for
the indicted men. Elijah Zoline of Chi
cago, one of the attorneys for the de-
tense, began the argument in support
of motion to quash the indictments
on the ground that many of them
charged the same offense of conspir-
acy to illegally transport explosives.
Judge Anderson interrupted Mr..
Zoline with a statement that the mo-
ton to quash the indictments on the
ground of confusing multiplicity was
absurd.
indictments Are Attacked.
Attorney Alfred Hovey then attack
ed the indictments, denying there was
a showing that the defendants had I'M
lawfully conveyed explosives on pas
senger trains. He declared there was
no violation of federal statute unless
explosives were transported on COM
mon carriers concealed in marked
packages and maintained the indict-
ments did not so state.
Never before in the history of the
federal courts had SO many men been
indicted in single proceeding, and
because of the wide interest in the
case the courtroom was crowded be-
fore Judge A. B. Anderson came to the
bench
Eight Defendants Absent.
The absent defendants were John j.
Mcnamara, James B. Mcnamara,
Ortie E. McManigal, Eugene A. Clancy
