warns Of "sharp Practice"

A warning has been issued by the
Association Of Stock Exchange firms
against what is tagged as SHARP prac-
tice" on the part of certain houses repre-
senting themselves as dealers in invest
ment securities Such firms, according
to the association, are making payment
partly in certified checks and the balance
in drafts, for which securities are deliv-
cred to them. When the drafts are pre-
sented for collection they are not paid,
and various excuses are usually given
and promises Of payment within short
time. Considerably, trouble and expense
to several firms has resulted from that
practice. 1t was said, and the association
has warned its members to exercise
strict care in delivering securities to
unknown brokerage houses.

Early Morning Fire Destroys
Store Building and Living
Quarters at Zerkel
FATHER, MOTHER ANDss
BABY BARELY ESCA5
Parents Forced TO Walk Ha
Mile in Night Clothes to
Obtain Shelter

Bagley, Oct. 8.-(Special to The
Pioneer Five children of the fam
lily of Nels Nelson, formerly resi-
dent Of the town of FROM, but now
of Zerkel, a little, village IA miles
south of here, were burned to death
this morning between 1 and 2 o'clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson and little baby
narrowly escaped with their lives.
The store building and addition, in
which the family lived, were burned
to the ground. 1t is thought the fire
originated from a defective chimney
between the store; building and the
addition, which was used as living
quarters.
The oldest son Of the family was in
North Dakota at the time of the tire,
and he, together with Mr.. and Mrs.
Nelson and the baby, are the only
survivors in a family of nine. Two
of the children had been attending
school in Bagley and had gone home
Friday night to spend the week end
at home. Both were burned to death.
Mr.. Nelson was burned about the
head and Mrs. Nelson's face was also
burned, while they were making their
escape. The little baby was sleeping
with the father and mother, which
explains it's being saved. The MEM
bers of the family who were burned
to death, range in age from to l6
years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson were forced
to walk half mile to a neighbours
home in their night clothes in order
to obtain shelter. Both are suffer-
ing severely from the terrible shock.
1t is understood there was no insur-
ance on the, building or contents.
The dead are: Amy, 16; Roy, a.;
Kenneth, ~; Lillian II, and another
little girl, aged z years.
The charred remains of the five
children were found this morning ly-
ing in a position that would indicate
that they were overcome by smoke
and never left their BEDS s..5'' 4
