Swanson made the first announce

said he was proceeding Immediately

FiUe Families Flee Before
Forest Fires in Minnesota
Settler Found Dead in Well,
Where Hs Sought Refuge
From Flames

st. Paul, Sept. 6.-(P)-Harrowing
experiences Of five north woods fam
lilies ia escaping brush fire In Ce-
dar Bend swamp south Of Warroad
were described In belated reports
Wednesday as cool, damp weather
temporarily checked flames generally
throughout the north woods.
A settler named Ed Carrier was
trapped by the fire that destroyed
the homes Of half q dozen families
and spent about 10 hours in well.
He was partly overcome by smoke
and was in q semi.conScious condi-
ton when he was found by Ranger
Dick Willems Of Warroad, who drove
over fire-baked roads to determine
the fate OF woods residents.
Warroad was menaced by = fire
within the village limits, but Ranger
Willerns said that the flames, burning
In brush and timber. were under
control Wednesday.
Refugees 1t Warroad
Willems said Is families In addition
to these burned out had been forced
to leave their homes and that some
OF the refugees were being housed
temporarily at Warroad.
The weather has been cool for the
last ~ hours, and during that time
light showers have aided fire guards
In strengthening their lines. He said
500 men still were on fire duty.
Ranger Willems said the tempera-
lures were rising Wednesday FORE
noon and that the wind was fresh
ening. The forecast for Wednesday
night and Thursday was heartening
to him. It called for lower tempera-
lures and showers.
Carrier, who lived alone, had
fought the fire that finally destroyed
his barn and smaller buildings until
the only road was blocked by flames.
Then he climbed down into the we'll.
Exhausted by long hours of strug-
gle, the man, Ranger Willems said,
was too weak to get out Of the well.
He added that Carriers condition
was further weakened by smoke and
gases that filled his underground
haven.

LABOR BODY LISTS
EIGHT OBJECTIONS
TON. D. SALES TAX
Declares Proposed Law Will Re-
duce Employment and
Favor Non-Residents

Eight specific objections to the
North Dakota sales tax are listed In
the resolution opposing that measure
adopted Monday by the state fedora
ton Of labor convention at Grand
Forks, copies Of the. document, re-
ceived here Wednesday, disclose.
In brief these objections are that
the proposed sales tax will not reduce
general taxes; will not aid local sub
divisions Of government, including
schools; will not improve the status
of the states general treasury; will not
open financially -cramped schools or
keep other schools open the full term;
will reduce employment by driving
business out of the state; will favor
the nonresident property owner at
the expense of the North Dakota citi-
zen: permits unlimited expenditures
to enforce the act and Is not justified
as q measure to protect or restore
state credit.
Through an error in Geographic
transmission it was reported Tuesday
that the resolution was adopted by q
vote OF 80 to IL. Delegates returning
to Bismarck from the convention said
Wednesday, however, that the vote
was SO to II, a much more convincing
majority.
Text Of Resolution
The text Of labor,S anti-sales tax
resolution follows:
Whereas. the people Of this state
will be asked to express their ap-
prevail or disapproyal of the sales tax
law passed by the last session Of the
legislature, at special election on
September %. 1888, and
Whereas, this law Is so framed that
through its application it will in no
way reduce the general taxes Of the
state but on the contrary will mater
tally increase our tax burden, and
Whereas. we are aware that the ma
jor portion Of all general taxes 60 to

death Of IA passengers on the Chi
cago-New York flyer.
Twenty-Five persons were seriously
hurt and IS received minor injuries.
A milk train ran down the flyer
which had been halted by q freight
train switching ahead.
The investigators seek to find out
why the milk train engineer did not
know OF the stalled passenger train
ahead, or II he did know why he
didn't stop. A flagman had been
sent out from the rear Of the flyer.
Many Of those killed and injured
were returning from the Chicago

the milk train, running between
