ferred to Mr.. Bryan as the Worlds
greatest private citizen. Mr.. Fisk
said that Wallstreet never loved him
very much, the great trusts don't like
him and some Of the brewers don't
think as much of him as they should.
Mr.. Bryan came back with a very
neat compliment, stating that had he
been elected president, he would have
selected Judge Of the Supreme court
from Minot. Mr.. Bryan said he was
always pleased to meet his many
North Dakota friends. "My friends
are not punched together enough for
me to carry an election" he said. He
took for his text, or subject pass
age from the Bible, "Thou Shalt Not
Steal'. In New York audience
where he spoke on this subject, every
man thot Bryan was making per
sonal attack on HON. He told the
story of the ten iepers, only one of
whom stopped to thank the Savior
for healing them. The citizen who

'CnlS, MOORE BURNED
fighting HoPPERS
,Nedrose Farmer Experimenting With
Grasshopper Burning Machine Thot
j to Have Been Fatally Burned.

Chas. Moore, a prominent farmer
living in Nedrose township, five miles
northeast of Minot, was very serious
ly burned while experimenting with
a>gasoline burning machine, which he
had rugged up to destroy grasshoppers
last Friday evening. He lies in st.
Joseph's hospital in this city, suffer-
ing untold agony and his recovery is
not expected, altho at this writing,
he appears to be holding his own.
N Mr.. Moore had heard Of 4 gasoline
arrangement to destroy grasshoppers,
and being an ingenious man, fitted up
a machine and was trying it out. The
machine consisted Of a compressed
air tank which was used in forcing
the gasoline from tank into pipe,
in which holes had been bored, for
the flames. The pipe was dragged
along the ground, burning the grass
hoppers. A piece Of hose 10 inches
long connected the air tank with the
gasoline tank. Mr.. Moore's son Ev-
erett, who was with him at the time
Of theaccident, had clamped the hose
to the tanks, tight, and but little
pressure was turned on. One end Of
the hose became loose, throwing about
half a pint of gasoline over Mr..
Moore's body. Some of the gasoline
was spread to the blaze eight feet
ahead and the fire came back setting
Mr.. Moore on fire instantly. His son,
Everett, stood close to him and would
have been caught by the sheet OF
flame had he been six inches closer.
His father was afire, the flames leap
ing high above his head. Everett
told the story of the horrible affair,
as follows:
II ran up and put both hands over
my fathers face and head to keep
him from inhaling the flames. I
could not seek his face for the blaze
and one of my hands was horribly
burned. / ran about thirty feet and
got sack and put over his shoulders.
Father said, that canvas Eve rett,' and
we both ran to the spring wagon
where the canvas was. Father fell to
the ground and threw the canvas
over him, finally smotherins the blaze.
pulled the burning clothing from
him and we walked eight rods ITO the
house. He had only the shirt bands
and piece Of his overalls on his left
leg on his body, and the collar around
his neck. After we got to the house
and father was placed on the bed, I
pulled the piece Of overalls from his
leg which was still on fire. Mother
had seen father burning. We were
shout 40 rods from her, but she ran
to where was wrapping the canvas
about him and she helped me-"
3 A Minot physician was called to
the Moore farm and he brot Mr..
Moore to Minot that evening, His
back, sides, arms and hands are hor-
~ribly burned and il. he RECEIVERS it will
be great surprise. He is conscious
all Of the time and is putting up .
game fight. Mr.. Moore's beard was
practically all burned off.

An Accom- modating Brakeman

A good story is told about Minot
man who had secured a choice bottle
of Scotch whiskey at Portal, intending
to bring it home to replenish his med
icine chest. He feared that in cross
ing the Canadian line, he might get,
into trouble, so confded in a brake
man, who advised him to tie a string
around the bottle and hang it out Of
the car window till the train had been
searched. He did this and after the
train was we'll on this side of the
line, pulled in the string. This is all
that he did pull in, for evidently, the
accommodating brake had relieved
him of the bottle.
