BOHEMIAN CHURCH
BURNS TO GROUND:
MANSE Is DAMAGED

Bohemian church SIS. Peter and
Paul was burned to the ground Sun
day afternoon, nearly all the furnish
ings were destroyed by the flames,
and the parish house was damaged,
and saved only after hard battle
with the blaze. The fire was sdiscov-
cred shortly after 4 o'clock, but had
gained such headway that the flames
could not be checked. Flying enbers
ignited the roof of the parish house
and only the arrival of a. number of
farmers residing in the neighbor-
hood saved that structure. Cause of
the fire is not known. The church
was located about II miles northwest
of Dickinson, in the vicinity of New
Hradec.
The pastor, the Rev. F. B. Tomanek,
assisted by Messrs. Yiryes and Llnl-
prich, endeavored to save interior
furnishings and succeeded in getting
a portion Of them to places Of safety,
but they were forced to desist after
about ten minutes work. The build
ing was a frame structure and burned
rapidly, and in an hour was in ashes.
Loss is partially covered by insur-
ance. Besides loss Of the church
building and furniture, much Of the
furniture of the parish house was
ruined, and personal effects and books
Of the pastor were destroyed.
Plans are already in the making fol
rebuilding, q combination church and
parish house to rise on the site OF
the burned structure. New edifice
win be Of 'lfireproof construction, and
efforts will be made at once to raise
funds for construct ton. SEA 35Sls,.ssy ..,.s.,s

J. ]. M'ANDREWS
HAS NECK BROKEN
BY VIOLENT FALL

John J. McAndrews, resident Of
this city for years, was instantly
killed Sunday afternoon about 2
o'clock, when a heifer which he was
leading suddenly plunged forward and
threw him violently to the ground,
breaking his neck. Accident which re-
suited in his death occurred near the
Bohemian church in the east portion
of the city.
There were no witnesses to the cas-
ually, but evidence given at the in
quest brought out the fact that he was
leading the heifer but few minutes
before the body was found, and that
he had been seen by neighbors and
conversed with them only about ten
minutes previous to discovery of the
remains. A rope burn on his right
hand also showed that he had been
jerked violently forward by the plunge
of the heifer. Verdict of the coroner's
jury, composed of E. F. Messersmith
j. P. Zeigler and C. M. Rogers, was
in accordance with these facts. In
quest was held in the Davis under
taking parlors Monday night at 6
o'clock, with Coroner AID. Davis IN
charge. Y
John J. McAndrews was born in
Ireland about GO years ago, and came
to the United States when young
man. A short time thereafter he set.
tied in Dickinson> and was employed
by the Northern Pacific for number
Of years as track laborer, retiring
from that occupation several years
ago.
He was married in 1880 and the
widow and eight children survive him
Children are Thomas, James, john
Anthony, Michael, Patrick, Nora and
Mrs. Agnes RAIDER. Three children
preceded their father in death.

Patrick's Catholic church Wednesday,

CHUNICK TO
FIGHT; PLEA
OF DEFENSE
L. A. SIMPSON is RETAINED AS
COUNSEL BY SLAYER OF THE
CALDWELLS,
First Degree Murder and Criminal AS
sault Charges Filed by Burge-
sOn-December Term.

Three informations against Mike
Chumick, slayer of Mr.. and Mrs.
James H. Caldwell, at their ranch
home on Monday of last week, were
filed in justice court of A. P. Folsom
by States Attorney H. A. Burgeson
on Wednesday morning. Two of them
charge murder in the first degree and
the third criminal assault in the first
degree, Miss Ella Croy being specified
in connection with the latter charge.
Attorney L. A. Simpson of this city
has been retained as counsel by Chu-
mick. Mr.. Simpson, at this time, re-
fuses to comment on any phase of
the case. However, it has been init
mated by others that sensational dis
coveries have been made.
That Chumick shot Mr.. and Mrs.
Caldwell only as a last resort, to pre-
vent his own life being taken, will be
contention of the defense. It is said
that evidence will be given tending to
prove that Caldwell had threatened his
employe on number of occasions,
have been made. -..
To Contest Will?
Despite reports to the contrary, no
steps have been taken by Mrs. May
Moran, daughter of the slain man, to-
ward contesting Of the will, by terms
Of which she was given but $25, in
addition to provision for mainten-
ance. Whether contest will be in
stituted in the near future is as yet
undecided, it is stated.
Chumick is still confined to the
local hospital, but is well on the way
to recovery from the self-inflicted
wound. He will probably be removed
to the county jail by Sheriff Hartung
within the next few days. Two
guards are stationed at the hospital
in charge of the prisoner.
The Chumick case will probably be
called for the December term of dis
trict court, unless Judge Crawford
issues a call for special session Of
court during September.
