Bismarck, N. D. Feb. 10.-The joint

the matter of the location of another
insane asylum. A resolution is to
be offered calling for special com.
mittee from the house and senate to
make a trip over the state and visit
the towns that have asked for such
institution. Among the towns for
which bills have been introduced are
New Salem, New Rockford, CARING

son. It is thought likely that an in
sane asylum in addition to the one
now at Jamestown will be located.
but the town will not be decided on
until the committee has made a trip

Former Section Hand
Struck Il Rich

Grand Forks, N. d., Feb. 10.-An
elaborate home and an annual income
Of $4,000 from the German government
was what Baron Won Falkenstein for
eighteen years a section hand on the
Great Northern, found when he reach
ed his native country several weeks
ago. Thomas Monley of Emerado, ap-
pointed by Grand Forks county insan-
ity commissioners to escort Falken-
stein across the water after he had
been declared insane, notified local au-
thorities of the baron's fortunes.
Falkenstein, according to Mr.. Mon
ley's advices, Is member Of one OF
Germany's most interesting families.
For years his relatives sought to have
him to return to Germany, but to no
avail. He came here many years ago
to visit and ran out of funds. To earn
with which to return home he
began working on railroad section
for the Great Northern, and never
gave it up till two months ago when
he was arrested for insanity.
In Germany the section hand baron
will be in the custody of relatives. He
has recovered considerably, and Mon
ley believes he will be entirely Well
soon.

Exchanges bespeak the ability OF
Enrico Palmetto, who is to sing at the

the management is to be congratulat-
ed in Securing this appearance OF the
famous tenor in this city. In engaging
a tenor a great chance is always TAX
en- in what one is going to get. Ten
ors with tenor voices are Very rare.
signor Palmetto not only has a voice
of remarkable quality, but is model
for young singers, such as is seldom
heard. While not large man, he has
chest capacity almost OF giant. 1t
is this, together with perfect breath
control, that gives him his wonderful
staying qualities. High tones are
usual instead OF the unusual thing
with him. He never dodges and never
loafs. Only a person with perfect
control can afford to do this.

Narrow Escape.

Thursday night the Chisman farm
near Scoville was the scene Of great
excitement. Walter Woodrich, who
has charge of the gasoline engine
found it necessary to replenish some;
so he drew bucket full of gasoline
from the tank. A few drops splashed
on the lighted lantern sitting near by.
Immediately a flash of fame leaped
to the gasoline in the pail and soon
the granary, in which the fluid was
kept, was ablaze. The man found
himself in a perilous situation. His
clothing had caught afire and it was
only by great presence of mind that
ne escaped cremation. He threw
himself into a bin of wheat, thus ex-
tinguishing the flames and saving
himself from horrible death. He was
burned very severely about the face
and head and one hand was injured,
but no serious results are feared. The
granary was badly blackened and
scorched but unfortunately the fiery
element ate it's way into bin Of fax
and the flax running down upon the
gasoline did much to smother the
flames. Water brought from the ar
tesian we'll near by completed the
work Of salvation, The damage to the
building and contents is estimated at
$100.-Ender erlin Independent.

Denies Reported Deal
Has Been C0nSulnnldted

Devils Lake, IN. D., Feb. 10-No deal
has been made by the Northern Dako-
ia Railroad company, operating from
Edinburg to Concrete, or the sale OF
it's line to the 500 railroad, reports
current to that effect being denied by
Walter Brekke Of this city, general
manager of the railroad.
For some time the possibility of the
Northern Dakota company selling its
line to the 500 company has been con-
sidered as quite likely, but up to this
time no definite negotiations have
been under way. The matter has been
discussed by representatives Of the
two concerns, but the big develop
ment work of the 500 line in other
sections does away with the chance
that there will be anything done this
year.
That the 500 line, if it purchased
the line of the Northern Dakota COM
pany, would use it DIN the construc-
ton of road from some point on the
present wheat line to Mowbray, Can
ada, or to Mount Carmel, Canada, is
quite likely. The new line would be
constructed either from Fordville or
from point near Fairdale.
