day morning to learn of his death.
MI. Larson has been in poor health
for some time but on Sunday had ap-

the habit of sleeping alone at his own
house, and taking his meals at his

his brother went to the house and
found that he had passed away during
the night. Coroner Stone was called
from Balfour, but no inquest was
necessary, as it was plainly evident
that death was due to heart trouble,
from which deceased had long been a
sufferer. He was also afflicted with
lung trouble.
Deceased was 80 years of age and
was unmarried. Besides his brothe~
Tom and his mother, who lives with
and keeps house for him, there are
some other relatives living in the

deepest sympathy of the entire COM

Head BLOWN OFF
+ BY EXPLOSION

Ro1la, N. D., June 2.-George Dever-
eaux Of the firm of Mckay & Dever-
eaux, general blacksmiths, was in
stantly Killed when a gasoline tank
which he was mending exploded:
Canute Lafrance, of Maryville town
ship, had brought to the shop a large
galvanized iron gasoline tank to have
the faucet soldered. The tank had
been emptied of it's contents, but as
the faucet is slightly above the bottom
of the tank some gasoline must have
remained in it.
The burr at the top had been re-
moved, but as the opening was small
and the tank very large, the gas had
little opportunity of escaping. Mr.,
DevereauX held the soldering iron and
asked Harry Kyle to assist him. Harry
at first refused, but finally taking a
pair of long handled tongs grasped the
faucet, and fearful Of the possible con-
sequences, turned away his head. The
unfortunate victim Of the tragedy ap-
piled the soldering iron to the tank.
Instantly there was an explosion that
was heard all over the city and Mr.,
Devereaux fell dead.
Every bone in his head was broken.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST

He never knew what happened. Both
ends of the tank were blown out by
the force of the concussion. Harry
Kyle was stunned by the explosion and
received a few slight bruises in the
face. G. B. Mckay was also slightly
injured In the right arm. They escap-
ed serious injuries, if not death, from
the fact that the explosion spent it's
force from the giving away of the
ends Of the tank, both Of the men
standing several feet from the. ends at
right angles to the path OF destruc-
ton.
Mrs. Mckay, who lives near the
shop, was badly shocked and was re-
stored by medical aid. Mrs. Dever-
eau hurried to the place Of the &C
cident, but was mercifully taken to
her home before she could see the
mangled form of her husband, which
a soon removed to the undertaking
rooms of the Dixon Bros.

CHECK FORGER
At BOWBELLS

BoWbells, N. D., June 2.-Jens Peter
son is out just SIG as a result of do
ing business with a forger. A war
rant has been issued for the man, but
to the present time he has not been
a~pprehended and the authorities have
about given up hope of landing him.
The man gave his name as Fred
Thansvich, and for a month this
spring was employed on the w. o.
spent some months last fall here
working out, and left for the east
when cold weather set in, returning
again about six weeks ago. A week
before he committed the crime he left
the employ of Mr.. Tucker and was
given a check for $35 for what was
due him, and he cashed this check at
the Peterson store. On Saturday
evening, a week later, he again APP
peared with q $35 check and after
making some small purchases he
handed the check to Pete Peterson
who was waiting on him.. On going
only SIG in the house at the time,
and so told his customer. The check
man said that the SIG would be &C.
ceptable to him at the present time,
and thai he would call later for the
rest of the change due him, and with
this arrangement he left the store. The
check in this instance also had the
name of Mr.. Tucker and was drawn
on the First State bank of Bowbells.
Shortly after the checkman left
Pete got a little suspicious, and the
same evening phoned out to the
Tucker farm to learn whether or not
the check was signed by Mr.. Tucker.
On advice that it was not, he i'm
mediately sWore out a warrant for
the strangers arrest. The last seen
of the culprit was when he crossed
the track after leaving the Peterson
store, and nothing has been heard from
him since, although Sheriff Stainhofer
and his deputies have put forth every
effort to locate him.

shot UP hobo
CAMP; WINGED one

Minot, N. D, June Ed Keller, a
well dressed young man about Is
years of age, was shot through the leg
at one of, the hoboes' jungles near the
city. He was taken to the city Jail by
Chief Smith and r.. E. McCutcheon,
the night desk sergeant, and later sent
to the hospital, where he will doubt
less recover.
1t is understood that the hoboes be-
lieve that the bullet that pierced KEEL
ler's leg was shot by Mr.. ,McCutcheon,
An Independent representative inter-
viewed the night clerk sergeant con-
corning the affair and he said:
Il have no knowledge of havins
shot the man. and if I did SO, it was
merely accidental. I do not believe
that [ did. I did pull my gun after
the hoboes had been driven from the
camp, and shot UP their cans. but did
not shoot in the direction of any of
them"
One of the "boes'' who was swim
ming in the river says the desk sar-
geant kicked their breakfast into the
river and shot up their cooking uten-
sils and breakfast dishes. He a v
some of the bullets came uncomfort
ably near the legs of several of the
members of his clan.

pltal will AVE to be paid by the city

iy assert that they will not allow the
bill. =.

FOUND DEAD in
The HAY NOW

: Finley, N. D, June2.-Lars II. Mart
inson, the liveryman, was found dead
in the haymow of the livery barn.
HIS son Louis had gone into the NOW
to throw down some hay and came
near sticking the pitchfork into the
body Of his father. Mr.. Martinson had
disappeared the evening before, and
the family could find no trace of him,
and they We're wondering where he
had gone. The coroner, DR.. Goodheart,
was Immediately notified and took
charge of the body. Drs. Goodheart
and Heimark conducted an autopsy,
which revealed the fact. that the man
had taken a large dose of carbolic
acid, also that he must have been
temporarily insane when he done so,
as quite a large quantityof water was
found on his brain, whichEtwould indi-
cate that the man had been suffering.
It had been noticed by a few that he
had not been quite right for several
days previous. He had beer drinking
considerably lately and undoubtedly
that contributed somewhat to the
mental state he must have been in.
He was born in Wisconsin and was
81 years of age, and leaves a wife and
seven children, three having died. He
came to Golden Lake toWnship-Steele
county, about tWenty-seven years ago,
where he farmed until about agar
ago, when he bought a livery business
in Finley and moved into town.

THE WHOOPING COUGH MICROBE
Professor at Harvard Medical School
Makes Important Discovery.

Another important discovery has
been made by an officer Of the Har-
ward Medical School. Dr. Frank NAL
lory, associate professor of pathology,
working in me pathological labora-
tory Of tho Boston city hospital, has
definitely proved that the symptoms
OF whooping cough are caused by the
bacillus pertussis. DR.. Mallory has
described the LESSONS characteristic of
the disease and the way in which they
are produced.
Whooping cough has been ascribed
to various micro-organisms, but only
one has received serious considera-
ton, the bacillus pertussis, which was
seen and described by two French
psychologists at the Pasteur Insti-
tute in Paris in 1902. IT was found
that this micro-organism was con-
stantly present in all cases in the
acute stage of whooping cough, but
never in health or associated with any
other diseases. A Russian investiga-
tor later confirmed these findings.
Prof. Mallory has demonstrated
not only that the bacillus is found in
connection with the disease, but that
1t is found in definite connection with
certain characteristic LESSONS which
are capable OF producing the symp-
toms Of the disease.

BOOKS BY PARCELS POST.
Congress Will Probably Amend Exist
ing Law as To Printed Matter.

Washington, Jan. 10.-It is likely,
in the judgment Of authorities Of the
post Office department, to be only
short time until books and other
printed matter now handled as third
class mail at eight cents a pound,
will be made mailable as parcel post
matter. Steps, it became known To-
day, already have been taken to in
duce Congress so to amend the par
cells post act as to permit printed
matter to be sent by parcels Nost.
In line with this idea, Postm lster
General Hitchcock decided day
that senders of parcel post PACKAGES
containing merchandise might en-
close printed matter descriptive Of
the contents without affecting their
classification. His order is an amend
ment to the existing parcel post regu-
lations which provide that the ,inclu-
sion in a package of any printed mat
ter subjects the entire package to the
third-class rate of postage.

DRIFTED ASHORE ON PLANK.
Survivor Of Wrecked Steamer Tells
How Shipmates Died.

Astoria, Oregon, Jan. 9.-How the
seamen Of the oil tank steamer Rose
Grams met death after the vessel
crashed ashore at the mouth Of the
Columbia River yesterday morning,
was told tonight by Fred Peters, the
quartermaster, who drifted ashore on
plank at Tioga. According to Pc
ters, Capt. Johnson, Of the Rose
Grams, remained to the last at his
post in the pilot house, directing and
cheering his crew, although he was
suffering from broken leg.
There were eight men on duty at
the time of the disaster and twenty
eight men were in their berths. The
night was a wild one, but it was de-
cided by the officer in command that
1t would not be too hazardous to at
tempt the entrance into the Columbia
River. In the storm and rain the
man at the wheel, according to
Peters, mistook the North Head
light for the lightship, which is an
chored off the Columbia, and steered
the vessel upon the rocks.
"The backbone of the Rosecrans
was broken, and there was nothing
to do but to wait" Peters said. "Ef-
forts to launch the life boats were
futile. The wind and waves broke
them from their lashings before any
Of the crew could man them The
men waited calmly for the death that
appeared inevitable. Capt. Johnson
stood at his post, directing the crew,
although his leg had been broken by
a falling spar"
Peters had just talked with Capt.
Johnson, when big wave washed
over the ship, carrying him over
board. He grasped a floating plank
and rode it for five hours before hes
finally drifted ashore.

oLAFLINi. SWEPT by PLANES
Administration Building Destroyed
Loss $75, 900 10 100000.

Orangeburg, Jan. 9.-Orangeburg
was visited by one of the largest fires
in its history this morning when the
large main building of Clafiin Uni
versity, a negro college supported by
the Northern Methodist Church, was
practically destroyed by fire. The
alarm was sent in about 11.4O O'Clock
| this morning, and when the fire de-
partment reached the scene the roof
was a mass of flames. The origin Of
the fire is mystery. When discov-
cred the fire was a roaring flame, ap-
pearing to have been burning some
time.
The main building was a three
story brick structure and very large
building. In this building were To-
Gated class rooms, girls dormitory,
presidents office and other offices,
dining room, kitchen annex, etc. All
Of the students were gotten out Of
the building in safety. A large
amount Of the students personal eff
fects were saved and some personal
property Of the college, but the loss
Of personal property was great.
The large main building Of the
State college for negroes, which is a
four-story building, was in close prox-
unity to the fire, but at no time was
in serious danger Of destruction.
About two years ago Badham Hall,
girls dormitory of the State college,
was destroyed by fire, entailing a loss
Of about $4,000.
There was a stiff wind during the
fire, but luckily the wind blew in the
most favorable direction to prevent
the spread Of fire to adjoining build
ings. Although the firemen fought
valiantly, the wind famed the flames
and the building was reduced to
ashes, except the kitchen annex
which was saved.
The building destroyed was val
ued at between $4,000 and $780,
600. The insurance carried upon the
building amounted to $4,000 and
on the furniture $1,000, making a
total Of $55, 900 insurance. DR.. l.. NJ.
Dunton, presidentpof Clafin Univer-
sity, stated that the school would
run smoothly along, as plenty of
room would be provided in other
buildings for class rooms and dormi-
tory accommodations. DR.. Dunton
stated that the, administration build
ing would be rebuilt as soon as pos
sible and that a magnificent structure
would be erected to replace the one
destroyed. The present Clahin Uni
vcrSiyy plant is valued at over $780,
600.
