Fort Dodge, Nov. 24.-Two gentle
men who retired early to their berths
Saturday night at the union station
expecting to sleep until next morning
and awake in Minneapolis were placed
in most embarrassing position Sat
urday night by a daring thief who after
reaching thru the curtains and steal
ing their trousers went thru them and
tossed them into the upper berth.
The robber slammed the door and
awakened the sleepers, who soon dis
covered their garments missing. The
porter was called and the whole car
aroused. Men in their "nighties" sat
on the edge of their berths with their
heads sticking out Of the curtains dis
cussing the crime.
One Of the victims of the robbery
was F.. w. Patton, claim agent for the
NJ. & st. L., who lost $3.50 and his an
nuaI passes. The other man in berth
across the aisle lost $214. His name
could not be learned. Some Of the an
nuai passes OF Patton's were found the
next morning at Third avenue south
and Seventh street, torn in half.

Fmen Nearly Frozen Hoseman Byne Loses Diamond H1s Ring

as the bydrants were again found
frozen. G. Dwight Sharpe, superin-
tendent of the water department, was
one of the first on hand and he soon
had the hydrants in working order.
The dense black smoke was again
pouring from the building but ss be.
fore no blaze was visible from the out
side. The thermometer was hugging
the zero mark which made the work
doubly hard. One nozzle froze while
small stream was running through it
after Ii had been shut oil. 1t had to
be thawed out. The fire appeared
most dangerous Mt the west ,of the
building which is in close proximity
TO the Bugbee store. The iiremen had
just reached the roof of the Bugbee
building with line of hose when for
the first time fire came through the
roof of the burning building. This
was made the objective point of the
iremen, who were working to keep
the blaze within the brick walls. Once
or twice IL looked as II the fire was
getting beyond control but IL was al
ways overcome. Shortly after O'Clock
it was seen that the men were masters
of the situation. The crowd began to
leave satisfied that the fire would soon
be out.
Several of the fifemen nearly froze
their hands or feet. So heavily were
they caked with ice that they had TO
thaw out their clothing before 1t could
be removed. The second fire made n
total wreck of what IL had partially
wrecked in the afternoon adding sl0,.
] 900 TO the previous damage. The fire
was the worst since the big Wheaton
fire and for long ftime previous as
we'll.
The diamond ring lost by Hoseman
Byfne at the first fire was found by
Hosemnn Frank Baker at the second
fire. Baker saw something glitter in
the snow and picked the ring up.
