DISASTROUS FIRE
OCCURRED TO-DAY
Home of Mr.. J. w. Lanier, With All
Contents, Burned About 10
O'Clock This morning.

One of the most disastrous fires
that has visited Lakeland in some
time occurred this morning when the
Lomc of Mr. j. W. Lanier on Mag
roia street was burned with all the
contents. the loss aggregating at
least $4,000 or $1,000 1t is not
known exactly what insurance was
carried, but it is understood that if
any it is not large amount
The house was a mass OF tlamcs
before any one knew IL was on ire
and how it started will probably re-
main mystery. "A lady and little
child were sitting on the front porch
while Mrs. I.anier had gone to the
Doctors; they detector the smell OF
smoke and Immediately went to the
kitchen to locate the cause. On
opening the door they found the
room mass of flames, the tongues OF
fire even then bursting through the
windows, doors and roof. The alarm
was sounded and the fire department
vas on the scene almost immediate.
Iy. but the fire had gained such head
way that they could only save the
outside walls.
In the house at the time was Mr..
\. G. Wright, who is critically i'll
and whose life has hung in the bal
ance for several days. He was taken
out and carried to the home OF Mr.
] NJ. Keen, and it is hoped by all
that the shock will not give him any
backset
The house was one OF the incest
homes in that portion of the city,
Mr.. Lanier having few months ago
added several more rooms and nm
ished the interior in handsome style.
All the furniture, with the exception
of one or two pieces, was burned, the
entire contents of the house being a
practical loss In addition to the fur
niture Mr.. Lanier had purchased a
new piano and had same installe
ONLY two or three days ago, and TINS
was also burned There was no in
surance on the piano
Although the fire was well under
way before ii was detected, the Lake.
land fire department was out of the
station and gone to the scene before
the whistle sounded. the new alarm
system making this possible. Al
though they were up against a hard
proposition. the fire boys did valiant
work and saved the building from be-
coming a total loss. The Lakeland
fire department is one OF the city's
finest assets and is ever on the alert
to protect property.

SCHANTZ LOSES
LAST APPEAL

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 16. -- Peter
S~chantz, who has made a stubborn
fight for his freedom has lost his final
appeal, and must serve his sentence.
Schantz was convicted two years ago
supreme court where he lost. He
finally made an appeal for a writ of
habeas corpus which was denied yes
terday. The syllabus of the finding
of the supreme court is as follows:
In the supreme court, state of North
Dakota, in the matter of the applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus in be-
half of Peter Schantz.
l. Under section 10139, r. G.. 1905,
an appeal in a criminal case must be
taken within one year after the rem
dition Of the Judgment. and an apneal
which is not taken within such time,
but within one ear after the rentry
thereof, is too late.
2. The rendition of a criminal
judgment, as the term is used in Sec
ton 10139, r. c., 1905, is the judicial
act of a court in pronouncing the SEN
tence of the law upon the facts in
controversy and a~scertained by the
.pleadings and the verdict and does
not involve, the entering of Judgment
upon the record. ..,-
g.. One; who after the rendition Of
a judgment in a criminal case, OBJ
tains a certificate of probable cause
and furnishes, bail on an appeal from
said judgment to the supreme court,
and serves his notice of appeal, OBJ
tains a temporary release from i'm
prisonment by legal means and the
time that he is thus at large will not
be computed as a part of his term
of imprisonment. He will also be con-
sidered to be at large under such APP
peal and supersedeas bond until he
delivers himself up to the proper Of
fcers for incarceration, even though
he may have dismissed his appeal be-
fore such time. "a"
4. The case Of in re: Markuson, s

which the sentence has been suspend
