WRECKED BY 6AS EXPLOSION
Poolroom Damaged and Severa
Persons Injured.
The poolrooin and restaurant at
Lords, owned by Henry Nelson, was
wrecked by a terrific explosion' of gas
In the basement, and several persona
were hurt. The injured are: Charles
Dunn, one knee disjointed Bernard
Peterson, ankle bruised and crushed,
Henry Johnson, severe flesh wounds
and bruises John Batters, cook, se
vere scalp wound and broken shoul
der Tollif Nelson, dishwasher, se
vtrely burned about the face and
hands.
Mr. Nelson had gone to the bas'
ment to make an investigation, when
the explosion came. A large hole
was blown in the floor of the restau
rant and poolroom, the joists were
raised about three feet in the rear
of the building and both walls were
bulged out, while the walls in the
ear room were completely blown
from the building. The entire front
of the building was also blown away
gnd pieces of glass scattered to the
further side of tha street. Pool ta
bles aud other furniture were liurle.i
to the sides of the building and com
pletely wrecked.
About a dozen people were in the
place. Some were eating, some play
ing pool and others were sitting
around. Charles Dunn and Bernard
Peterson were playing pool on the ta
ble which stood directly over the place
where the explosion occurred, and
thev had a most strenuous experience.
The pool table was torn into pieces,
hardly a foot square being left, and
it is considered remarkable that both
the young men were not killed.
Charles Dunn was found lying with
his tVet hanging in the hole made by
th* explosion. He was unconscfous.
Fire followed the explosion, but it
•was extinguished by the department
before it gained great headway.
This loss on the building and fix
tures is $2,500.
BY VERY SMALL MAJORITY
Minot Favors Government by the Com
mission Plan.
The commission form of government
was adopted at Minot by ten majority,
the vote being 38! to The elec
tion was preceded by the publication
of a report by a committee of t.he
council showing that the city of $4,
000 in debt in excess of the legal debt
limit.. The commission law has no
recall nor initiative and referendum
and commits the city to a .cash basis.
The present connci) took office a
month ago. but will be ousted by the
commission in twenty days.
The opponents of the system who
supported the present mayor, Sam
Clark, hired every carriage in town,
but failed to retain the council sys
tem.
SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED
Passenger Train on the Soo Derailed
Near Courtney.
A wreck on the Soo line just east
of Courtney might have resulted dis
astrously.
Through spreading or defective rails
two day coaches and the emigrant
sleeper left the track while the train
was going at a nigh rate of speed. All
three coaches and the mail and bag
gage cars went into a ditch, one car
flying thirty feet from the track. The
Pullmans and diner remained on the
track.
Many passengers were bruised and
scratched, and only three seriously
but not fatally injured. All sustained
injuries to their backs. Two hundred
yards of.track was torn up and traffic
blocked all day.
CORONER KEPT VERY BUSY
Another BojJy Found in the River at
Fargo.
Before the coroner had time to hold
an inquest over the remains of an in
fant child taken from the river, the
body of Fritz Schumm, a resident of
Cesselton, was taken front the wa
ters of the Red river. The body was
discovered just above Fargo. His
watch was still running. No marks
of violence were on the body, and
money, notes and valuables were in
tact. The mystery is unsolved, but
ts believed to have been a case of sui
cide. The body is the fourth taken
from the water in that vicinity thiB
spring in a comparatively short time.
Dresden Elevator Burned.
The Cargill elevator at Dresden and
three Groat Northern box cars were
burned. The loss is about $13,000.
The fire is thought to have been start
ed by a hotbox, caused by the conttn
nous operation of the machinery. The
National elevator at Dresden burned
a few weeks ago, but is being rebuilt.
Admits He Horse Thief.
John Moahler entered a plea of guil
ty to the charge of horse stealing
and was sentenced to a year in- th'J
state penitentiary at Bismarck by
