Nose Laframboisc, the Cannonball

at Bismarck, but Eyebrow has not
been found at this writing. When the
authorities finally do get hold of him
the chances are he will have to answer
to serious charges.

Chester Solmonsen and Maurice

Rock Fair.
The Winonn school house which
for years has stood rs landmark
marking what was once one of the
busiest little cities on the Missouri
river, was destroyed by fire last Fri
day night about 10 o'clock.
The fire is believed to have been of
incendiary origin. There had been no
one in the building since school
closed during the summer. Investi-
CATION following the fire showed auto
mobile tracks made the night before.
Other parties saw the car which con-
tanned three men, and came from a
southerly direction and stopped at the
school house about $3.50.
The building was a two-story struc-
turc and erected in 1885, when Vino
ma was a boom town following the
opening Of the military reservation
which extended along the east side of
the Missouri for few miles. Fort
Yates was then an important military
post and Winona drew much business
from here, particularly the saloons
and dance halls, which were literally
supported by the soldiers from the
post.
Since the Fort Yates military post
was abandoned the decline of Winona
has been gradual until now only two
stores remain. For the past year
there has been some agitation about
tearing down the Winona school
house which was much larger than re-
quired now, and build two smaller
school houses with the material. The
proposition was voted down at a
special election. The failure of the
proposition to carry is believed to be
the motive for the incendiary fire.

Big Fire At Dayett's Mil

Fire of unknown origin on Friday of
last week. destroyed the large flour
mills of j. Irwin Dayect, at Cooch,
causing a loss of $3l 600. $4,000 of
which was not covered by insurance.
The work Of building will begin at
once. Mr. Dayett lives with his fam
lily about two hundred feet from the
mill His daughter, who was awaken
ed by the barking of dog about a.
M, first discovered the blaze. The
alarm was Immediately sounded but
before help came the fire had spread
over the building. Newark fremen
were summoned but were handicapped
in their response by a heavy fog.
When they arrived there was no
chance whatever of saving the main
mill building. In addition to the main
mill. known as the clover mill, two
smaller buildings adjoining were also
burned. The tiremen managed to save
the elevator building, short distance
from the mill. although it was on fire
several times. In saving the struc-
ture 1t was necessary to pump thous-
ands of gallons of water into it from
the race. and it is feared this water
totally destroyed the value of the
( 5000 bushels of wheat stored there.
Mr.. Dayett's greatest personal loss
was on the contents of the mill. There
were stored in the buildings $4,000
>ushels of wheat, and large quantities
# oats. corn. -four, and dairy food.
'ractically all of this was destroyed.
'uring the remainder of the week
lousands of bushels of wheat smoul-
red within the demolished walls, the
lie at times cracking and breaking

cam was thrown upon the burning

HUGHES STIRS
MARYLAND FOLKS

What is generally conceded to have
been the greatest politica! meeting
ever held in Maryland was staged at
the Fifth Regiment Armory, Balti-
more, on Tuesday night, when former
Governor Charles Evans Hughes, Re
publican candidate for President. ad-
Hughes came into Maryland from
Philadelphia by way of Harrisburg to
Hagerstown. being accompanied on the
trip by DR.. Joseph Irwin France, Re
publican candidate for L. s. Senator,
and State Chairman Galen l.. TAFT. At
Hagerstown the great Interstate
Fair was in progress and Mr.. Hughes
spoke for about half an hour to some
10000 people. He was at once hur-
ried by special train to Baltimore.
From hi shotel window he witnessed
a great automobile parade in which
hundreds of decorated and illuminated
automobiles participated. At S:l5 the
meeting opened at the Armory. pre-
sided over by the venerable General
James A. Gary, Postmastcr-Gener
in Mckinley's Cabinet Parsons full
band rendered special concert pre-
Ceding the meeting. Governor Hughes
was the only speaker of the evening
and for something over an hour he
held his audience by the earnest, man
wise fashion in which he handled the
way the present Administration has
muddled things. 1t was powerful
speech. delivered by great, strong,
earnest, efficient man. whose words
are weighted by the power of his per
sonaity and his great record as Gov
ernor of the great State of New York.
Hundreds of Democrats heard Mr..
Hughes speak and will not only sup
port him but work for his election. 1t
certainly looks as if Maryland would
go Republican this year and the
Hughes meeting Tuesday night in
BaLtlmore will he,n a lot.

Senator Kenyon Speaks Here.

With the assistance of the band play
ing crowd of about 200 people assem-
bled on the street Friday afternoon to
listen to Senator Kenyon of Iowa plead
to save his seatmate in the u. S. sem
ate, Senator LaFollette, from defeat
at the coming primary. The speaker
was almost an hour late in arriving,
but he plunged Immediately into good
republican speech and savagely at
tackled the present national democratic
administration for its official miscon-
duct. Senator Kenyon is an orator
pleasing in his manner Of address and
quite convincing in his arguments. The
closing part of his speech was an earn
est appeal not to. turn down our Bob.
The audience began to dispense when
Atty. Rosa of Beloit commenced to tell
why he was a progressive. Senator
Bosshard of Lacrosse and c. T. Henley
of Beloit, candidate for the senate for
this district, accompanied the party.
Senator Kenyon also spoke at Milton
Junction and when he got to Delavan
in the evening ex-Gov. McGovern d.
vided the crowd with him.
