BLAZE TUESDAY
For Eight Hours Citizens Battled With Flames That Would
Destroy Their Homes—Four Buildings Were Destroyed
—Origin of Fire a Mystery.
For eight hours the citizens of Os
nabrock fought against a fire which
for a time threatened to destroy the
entire city. When at 5 o'clock this
morning the flames were Anally sub
dued, four buildings had been de
stroyed, and a loss of about 116,000
was the result
The lire started Tuesday night at
9 o'clock in the bakery and three other
buildings adjoining it were burned
down. The origin of tie Are is a mys
tery, and it had gained considerable
headway when discovered.
A bucket brigade was at once form
ed, and they worked incessantly all
night long in the cold endeavoring
to stop the fire, which was growing
worse hourly.
BY CAKE OF
ICE
John Hart, Employed By Vic
Chaffee Nearly Met His
Waterloo Yesterday.
But for his agility and coolheaded
nese John Hart, a Grand Forks man
residing at 201 Almonte avenue, might
now be a fit subject for the undertak
er. Mr. Hart was unloading ice from
a car in Bast Grand Porks when the
accident which nearly cost him? his
life, occurred. He was lowering the
chunks onto a bob sled when in some
manner one of the Cakes got beyond
control and went oown the slide like
Darius Green with his flying ma
chine. The cake struck the bobs,
knocked the ice slide out of place,
and Mr. Hart, who was standing on
the later, was thrown, heavily to the
ground.
In the disturbance which followed
he was struck on the head by the un
ruly cake of Ice and although no bones
were broken, he received injuries
which he will remember for a long
time. One chOek bond was badly
scraped while the eye on the same
side was also injured.
The accident occurred yesterday
morning about 11 o'clock.
HE COMMOTED SUICIDE
Aged Farmer In- Bottineau County
Selected the Rope Route Into
the Unknown.
Bottineau Courant: The community
was shocked on Sunday to learn that
John B. Chretien, an aged retired
farmer living near Tarsus, had com
mitted suicide early Sunday morning
toy hanging. The act was accomplished
by taking a rope, which they had been
using to draw grain, and climbing up
on the hay fastened it to a rafter In
the top of the 'barn. Tying the rope
around his neck he slid oft the hay
down a space about ten feet deep, the
force not being strong enough to
break his neck, and he strangled to
death.
Deceased had 'been living alone in
a small house close to that of his son,
Ed Chretien, and on Sunday evening
the son and his •wife went to the
neighbors to visit, returning home late
in the night. They noticed on return
ing that the fire was burning in his
father's house, and thinking every
thing was all right they went to bed
and slept until quite late Sunday
morning. When they got up Bd went
to the barn to do the chores and on
opening the door was startled to find
his father had committed this rash
act. He had apparently been dead for
some hours.
The county coroner, Dr. J. A. John
son and States Attorney Bowen were
notified and immediately left to in
vestigate the matter. They found that
an inquest was unnecessary as prima
facie evidence showed the act volun
tarily committeed.
A daughter, granddaughter and
son-in-law have died wlithin the past
two months and brooding over these
sad events la no doubt what caused
the suicide.
Deceased leaves three sons and two
daughters. All but the one son are
living in Essex, Ontario.
The funeral services were held from
the house of his son Tuesday after
noon, and interment made in the
Tarsus cemetery.
HAS NO OFFICIAL NOTICE
V. S. District Attorney ltonrke Says
He Has Not Been Notified of
Tuft's Shortage.
United States Attorney P. H. Rourke
of Lisbon says that he had not had the
shortage of D. C. Tufts called officially
to his notice.
"During the Grand Forks term of
court," said Mr. Rourke, "I was asked
concerning the matter by a party in
terested and at that* time gave all of
the information which I had on the
subject. I have received no official in
structions or information concerning
the matter."
Mr. Rourke was at a loss to account
for the origin of the report that a war
rant had been issued for the arrest of
Mr. Tufts.

SfTATION A6EHTS
WIFE WIS THE
VM
Of the Accidental Discharge of
Revolver Which She Was
Handling.
Mrs. H. E. Willis, wife of the day
station agent at Grand Harbor, was
accidentally shot. She was brought
to Mercy hospital at Devils Lake and
it is believed that if no complications
set In she will recover. The shot was
fired from a 38-caHbre revolver and
took effect in one of her lungs. Mrs.
Willis who enjoys shooting and has
handled fire arms considerably, was
getting ready to clean and load the
revolver. It seems that she did not
know there was a load In it. The
family lives in the station house, and
Mr. Willis had been out for a few
minutes. Deputy Sheriff Frye was in
the Harbor at the time and went to
the station just as Mr. Willis was re
turning. When entering the station
they heard groans, and on investiga
tion they found Mrs. Willis lying un
conscious on the floor. Train No. 4
which was running late was flagged
at the Harbor and the unfortunate
lady was brought to the hospital at
Devils Lake.
Mr. and Mrs. Willis are young peo
ple, and they have been stationed at
Grand Harbor only a short time.
LONGFELLOW^BIBIHOAY
It Was Observed In a Number of the
Schools, Special Programs Being
Given in His Memory.
Today is the birthday of Henry W.
Longfellow, the greatest of American
poets. In public schools the day was
observed by special programs, which
had been prepared in a number of
rooms. The programs were all good.
Henry W. Longfellow, whose cen
tenary is commemorated throughout
the country today, was born In Port
land, Me., Feb. 27, 1807. He was a
graduate of Bowdoin college and was
prominent for his ability .In modern
languages and for the publishing of
a book of poems, among which was
"Hymn to the Moravian Nuns." In
1826 he accepted the professorship of
modern languages at Bowdoin college,
with opportunity to study ahead three
years.
In 1833 he published a volume of
translation from "Coplas de Maur
ique,"- with an essay on the "Moral
and Devotional Poetry of Spain." His
"Outre Mer" appeared in 1835—a vol
ume of prose sketches—and the same
year he was elected to the chair of
modern languages and literature in
Harvard college. After spending an
other year in Europe, studying Scan
dinavian languages and literature, he
entered on his professorship In 1836.
In 1839 "Hyperion" was published,
a "Romance" and "Voices of the
Night," a series of poems and a small
volume of "Poems on Slavery" ap
peared in 1842. The "Spanish Stu
dent," a drama in three acts, appear
ed in 1843 the "Belfry of Bruges"
in 1846, "Evangeline" in 1847, the
"Poets and Poetry of Europe," con
taining translations by himself and
others from about 360 authors, Dan
ish, Swedish, Dutch, German, Italian,
Spanish, Portuguese, Anglo-Saxon
and Icelandic in 1849 "Kavanagh,"
a tale in idyllic prose in 1850 the
"Seaside and the Fireside in 1851
the "Golden Legend," in 1855 "Hia
watha," in 1858 the "Courtship of
Myles Standish," in 1863 "Tales of a
Wayside Inn," in 1S66 "Flower de
Luce," In 1807-70 excellent poetic
translation of Dante, in 1SC9 "New
England Tragedies," in 1&74 "The
Hanging of the Crane," in 1875 "Mori
ture Salutanus" and the "Masque of
Pandora," and in 1878 "Keramor."
In 1854 Longfellow resigned from
the Harvard chair and traveled all
over Europe, receiving the degrees of
LL. D. and D. C. L. from the uni
versities of Cambridge and Oxford.
He died March 24, 1882. His birth
place In Portland and the house in
which he lived in Cambridge are still
standing and are preserved as me
morials of the poet.
•it doesn't pay to sow wild oats,
young man there is no market for

Says North Dakota Board of
Health in Statement Just
Issued.
THEY CONTAIN ALCOHOL
And Will Make Tuberculosis
Victim Feel Better at Time
—Results Injurious.
(By BT. D. Board of Health.)
Tuberculosis is an Infectious disease
caused by the introduction of the
tubercular bacillus into some part of
the body. This may be brought about
by breathing directly into the lungs
particles of dried sputum from other
consumptives, by kissing consumptives
or using any vessel, such as a drinking
glass, in common with a consumptive.
It may also be caused by taking con
sumptive germs into the stomach
through food, such as milk.' It is oc
casionally produced by introducing
the germ through an abrasion of the
skin. The disease is much more pre
valent than is commonly supposed. In
North Dakota, excluding deaths from
accidents, consumption is responsible
for about one out of seven deaths
from all other causes.
Tuberculosis is not necessarily a
fatal disease, in fact, many recover
from it who never knew they had It.
The most essential point in the treat
ment of the disease is in the making
of an early diagnosis. By this I mean
long before an Individual has fever
and night sweats and great loss of
weight or spitting of blood. The next
point is that the individual be in
formed as to the true nature of his
malady and given specific directions
as to how to take care of himself. One
of our best authorities states that fully
90 per cent of the very early cases
are curable, so that I would urge
upon any one who has a cough which
does not readily respond to ordinary
treatment to lose no time in consulting
his physician. The treatment is more
of a matter of hygiene conditions
than medicine. In fact, many of the
so-called "patent" medicines are posi
tively harmful and should, as a class,
be shunned. Some of these medicines
contain a large amount of alcohol and
make the patients feel -better for a
while. Others contain sedatives which,
in a measure, alleviate the cough, thus
making the patient believe he is im
proving, when in fact, the disease is
steadily advancing, and every day's
delay reduces the chances of the pa
tient's ultimate recovery. As an
abundance of fresh air is a large ele
ment in the treatment, it is perhaps
advisable for those patients to whom
expense is no great consideration to
spend the winter months, at least, in
a warm, dry climate where they can
sleep out of doors all the time. It is,
however, perfectly possible to treat
such cases in this climate and it is
much better for a poor man to stay at
home where he has friends and can
secure the ordinary comforts of life
than to go among strangers and have
to practice rigid economy.
If a case of tuberculosis has occur
red in a family, every other member
of that family should take the best
possible care of himself for years af
terward. In fact, they should be un
der the constant supervision of their
physician so that if the disease does
occur, it may be treated in its incipl
ertcy. No one should sleep In the
same room with a consumptive, cer
tainly not in the same bed. A con
sumptive should never dispose of his
sputum in any way which might allow
it to become dried and inhaled by
others as particles of dust For in
stance, he should never use a hand
kerchief,- never spit upon the floor,
should not cough in the face of an
other nor over a table. Consumptives
should not prepare food for others.
Consumptives should expectorate into
an approved spit cup of which many
are on the market, into an ordinary
spittoon party filled with a disinfect
ing solution and frequently emptied,
or into pieces of paper which are im
mediately burned or dropped into a
bag and burned later.
The fact is, that the habit of spit
ting wherever it is most convenient
is practically the only method of
transmitting tuberculosis, so that if
we would all give up this fllthy prac
tice, the disease would soon very
greatly diminish and probably become
almost extinct.
HE TOOK WALKED EAST
lr. S. Marshal Shea Will Take Former
School Teacher to the Federal In
sane Asylum in Washington.
W. B. Walker will be taken to Wash
ington to be confined in the federal in
sane asylum. Authority was received
from the department of justice yester
day and United States Marshal Shea
left Fargo with Walker for Washing
ton last evening.
Walker was ait one time principal of
the Kenmare schools. He was arrested
several months ago on a charge of
sending obscene letters through the
mails. The letters which Walk«r
wrote and certain of his acts led to
the belief that he was insane and
Judge Amidon recently ordered the
unfortunate man examined by the
Cass county insanity board. It was
found *y the board that Walker was
mentally inbalanced and this fact
was communicated to the department
of justice.
Since his confinement in the Cass
county jail Walker has repeatedly giv
en evidences of Insanity. Among oth
er things he has written threatening
letters to federal officials.

A GOOD CHEER MEETING
Of Campaign Managers Was
Held This Morning in
Y. M. .A.
About forty young men of the city
assembled at the Y. M. C. A. building
this morning in response to the re
quest of Evangelist Hunt. Matters
pertaining to the revival campaign
were discussed and whatever friction
had been evidenced with reference to
the campaign was dissipated.
Rev. Hunt presided as chairman and
told his plans for the past two weeks.
He stated that although Superior,Wis.,
was very anxious to secure the ser
vices of the evangelists, he had de
cided to stick to this city and Bast
Grand Forks, at least until such time
as he has had time to do considerable
more -work.
Crookston wants to get into the
game and it may be that that city
will be cared for together with East
GranQ Forks and Grand Forks.
George Hunt of Staples, Minn., a
brother of Charles N. Hunt, had ar
rived in Grand Forks and will assist
in the revival campaign now going on.
The new tabernacle which is being
constructed on the corner of Fifth
street and University avenue will be
finished tonight and ready for use to
morrow.
OSES 2,000_C0R0S YEARLY
Grand Forks Brick, Tile & Cement
Company Spends Annually Sev
eral Thousand Dollars.
/Wood haulers working between this
city and J. R. Poupores farm north
of the city are toiling away trying to
get as much wood as possible hauled
into the city before spring rots the
ice on the river. Mr. Poupore has in
the neighborhood of 1,200 cords of
wood on his property and expects to
get nearly all of this hauled in. The
wood will be used during the coming
summer by the Grand Forks Brick,
Tile and Cement company in the fac
tory located in the north end of the
city. This brick yard alone consumes
approximately 2,000 cords of wood an
nually bringing the fuel bill up to
several thousands of dollars.
The Red River Valley Brick com
pany with its four yards uses about
7,000 to 8,000 cords, all of which must
be bought in northern Minnesota and
shipped to this city.
6JUIFIELD WHS RELEASED
Man Brought Back From Spokane,
Suspected of Being *Blackle»*
Is Released.
The latest "Blackie" suspect, Elmer
Garfield, has been discharged from
custody and the authorities are in
about the same position with regards
to the capture of the murderer of Offi
cer Personius as they were last fall.
Garfield was given a hearing in the
justice court at Valley City and it was
established beyond a question of doubt
that he was not in the vicinity of
Valley City -when Officer Personius
•was murdered.
The suspect established the fact that
he was in Whitefish, Mont, at the
time of the murder. It appears that
his wife conducts a resort in White
fish and that he had been employed in
that place as a bartender for some
time.
Garfield was arrested several weeks
ago in Spokane. He resembles the
much sought "Blackie" and it was
confidently believed at the time of his
arrest that the murderer of the Valley
City officer had at last been run to
earth.
KARICK VERY MUCH ALIVE
Langdon Young Man Turns Up After
Being Mourned for Dead—
Father Notified.
Alex Karick the Langdon young
man for whom the parents and rela
tives have been searching for the past
two weeks has returned home. Chief
Lowe of this city received word to
this effect Monday afternoon and was
asked to communicate with the lad's
father who would pass through this
city last night. The old man was lo
cated at the Great Northern depot by
Captain Sullivan and when informed
of his son's safety he wept tears of
joy. Thomas Karick is 76 years of
age and the strain of the last week
has been tremendous.
The boy Alex Karick had been
working at a lumber camp near Ross,
Minn., but on Jan. 23 was asked to
return home to attend the wedding of
his sister. A day or two later a snow
shovelers train was wrecked near
Petersburg and two men, McClellan
and Anderson, were killed. When
young Karick failed to show up his
relatives began to l'ear that he was
one of the victims.
After a thorough investigation by
Claim Agent Flynn of the- Great North
ern this theory was cast aside and
the father went to tfte Minnesota lum
ber camp where Alex had been em
ployed, to see If he could not uncover
some clue to his whereabouts.
He was returning home from his
unsuccessful quest when found by
Captain Sullivan last night and in
formed of the safe return to his home
of the missing son.

President Robertson of Wesley Col
lege has just returned from a trip to
Harvey, N. D., where he interviewed
A. J. Sayre of Calgary, Can. who re
cently made an offer of $25,000 to
Wesley college. The interview result
ed in Mr. Sayre making a promise to
modify his conditions, and it means
that work on the college buildings
will be started this year.
In his original proposal, Mr. Sayre
made the condition that he would give
$25,000 to erect a boys' dormitory if
the board of trustees would have a
girl's dormitory to cost not less than
$25,000 erected at the same time. Mr.
Sayre was to give one-half of the
sum the year the building was to be
put up, and the other half of the
amount was to be given the following
year, after the building had been
completed.
He has promised to modify these
conditions so as to allow work ta be
done on the one building.

cured subscriptions in the sum of
$900 and he also received assurance
of about $300 more. The subscript

THE NORMAL^ QUESTION
Attorney General McCne and Judge
Young Differ as to the Legallty
of More Normals.
The opposition to the creation of a
new state normal or permitting oth^r
state institutions to add a normal de
partment is strong in some sections if
the state. The present normals at
Valley City and Mayville are jealous
of any encroachments on their field.
Under the constitution they hold that
no new normal can be established, as
was wanted at Mlnot, and that it will
require an amendment to the state
constitution to make such action pos
sible.
The agreement to allow the state
manual training school at EUendale to
establish a normal department has
aroused a protest among those who
believe two normals are all that are
legal.
Attorney General McCue has given
an opinion that the EUendale institu
tions can have a normal department as
it is being conducted under a differ
ent title. This ruling would permit the
establishment of normals at the state
university, the agricultural college and
the school of science.
President McFarland of the Valley
City Normal has secured an opinion
from Judge N. C. Young, now of the
firm of Ball, Watson & Young of Far
go and formerly chief justice of the
supreme court which goes to some
length into the constitutionality of tha
question and finally concludes that the
state has no right to establish a nor
mal at EUendale in connection with
the other institutions.

Used a Gun.
Two men, giving their names as

manded his money at the point of
guns. The old man, being destitute,
had no money to give them. Chief
Hurst got on their trail and arrested
them at the Great Northern depot as
they were preparing to depart for
Grand Forks. One of them resisted,
and as the chief had neither a gun
or his club he had to resort to his
fists. He landed a good jolt on the
man's neck and felled him to the
ground, and after having a few kinks
taken out of him he concluded to
"come along" without any trouble.
