UNKNOWN FARM
HANDCREMATED
IN ABARN FIRE
Series Of CONGREGATIONS at
Lakota Arouse Suspicion
of Authorities.
Big Storage Shed and Ele-
water Believed Have
Been Set on Fire.

Lakota, N. D., Aug. 27.-One man
was burned to death, another suffer-
ed painful injuries and 35 head Of
horses were killed last Friday. even
ing when a fire, believed to be OF in
cendiary origin, completely destroyed
the Erich and Murphy barn on the
Pioneer Land " company'sS farm, IL
miles south Of this city.
The first blaze was discovered in
the center Of the structure by farm
hands at s p. m. Friday night. An
unknown man who had been at the
farm but for one-half day, and George
Gunderson Of Bagley, Mimi, rushed
into the building to recover posses
sions. Gunderson escaped with pain
full burns on his neck and arms, but
the other man never returned from
the hay loft where he had left his
suitcase.
Believed Incendiary.
An investigation was made to as
certain the origin of the blaze, and
the results lead Mr.. Erich to believe
thai 1t had been set. Employees de-
clare that no me was smoking at the
time the fire was discovered. All en-
ployes are on the farm with the ex-
ception of two, who are not suspected.
| One or two men now employed are
under suspicion.
The barn was valued at v $4,000
and was insured for $1,000. The IS
horses represented a value of nearly
$1,000. Other farm material stored In
the barn was also destroyed.
Shed Is Burned.

ed by a man named Frazier, who
resides at Owatonna, Mimi, raj de-
stroyed, together with the contents
which included several billiard tables
and pool room equipment which was
owned by a Mr.. Dahl OF Doyon. N. d
Fire was also discovered in the Beake
Auto company garage but was ex-
tinguished before much damage was
done. Both f1res are believed to have
been incendiary. J.,
One week ago an attempt was
made to burn the st. Anthony ele.
vator here but an employe Of the loca,
power company discovered the blszt
and the flames e Quenched before
they could spread to other parts o!
the structure. This fire lie believed t.
have been clearly inoendiary, as

struction.
Officials can offer no explanation
to the outbreak Of the many fires blu
q close watch is now being kept OF

issues e52 Licenses.

Since January 1, 1917, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has is- sued artificial bait licenses to 575 resi- dents of the state and fl nonresidents, and 360 resident hunters licenses, and three to nonresidents, receiving total of 1,O135O in fees. Resident licenses, both for fishing with arti- fcial bait and hunting are S1.10, and nonresident hunting and fishing lj- censes are s5. No license is required for live bait fishing by residents CT Arkansas. The number of licenses will increase greatly later, officials of the commission say, because the fish ing season will not open until later in the spring, and there is very little hunting until fall. Last year 3,90S IT, censes were issued for artificial bat fishing alone.

Substitute For Flour.

A cheap substitute for wheat flour has been discovered by F. M. Spence of Cherry Valley Cross county, in the form of flour made from sorghum seed at about half the cost of wheat flour MT. Spence sent samples to John H. Page, commissioner of mines, manu- factures and agriculture, and after testing it in batter cakes, biscuit and cake, MT. Page has pronounced it. a perfect substitute. Sorghum seed is usually sold at s1 or $1.50 a bushel. and wheat is now bringing more than $2 bushel. Usually surplus sor- ghum seed has been used for stock feed, but with the demonstration that it is a fine product for human con sumption, MT. Page is advising farm CTS to hold their surplus.
