WHEN HOME BURNS
Fargo, N. D., Jan. 24.—
"Accidental death" was the
verdict of the coroner after
an investgation into the
death of five members of
George Bolsajr's (family,
burned in a farm home
near Harwood today. The
coroner believes that BoTser,
his wife and three children
were overcome by coal .gas
fumes and' were unable to
escape from the burning
building.

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 24.—The en
tire family ofi George Bolser, con
sisting of himself, his wife and his
three children, was burned to
death at an early hour this morn
ing at the Bolser farm home, three
and a half miles northwest of Har
wood.
The cause of the fire, which re
sulted in the fearful tragedy, wip
ing out the entire ramlly, will nev
er be known, as every person in
t(li!e home is dead.
Jacob Brandvig, who lives half a
mile from the Bolser home, was
the first to (discover the tradegy.
He saw a blaze and hurried to the
Bolser farm. When he arrived
tlie house was a mass of flames.
After the fire had cooled down, an
investigation showed the five bod
ies.
They had evidently been awaken
ed and had tried to escape, but
were either overcome .by smoke or
gas fumes. The bodies were all
lying on the floor.
The bodies were left unmolested
awaiting the arrival of Coroner
Mitchell and Undertaker Wasem of
Fargo, who were summoned to take
oliiarge of the gruesome affair.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bolser, par
ents of George Bolser, were in Far
go attending the Tri-State conven
tion. They were notified by phone
and |e£t at once for Harwood! in
an auto.
David L. Peterson, formerly of
Harwood, now in Fargo as a rep
resentative of the Poultry Herald
of St. Paul, was the first person
that Harwood pieople could locate
in Fargo a,fter the tragedy. He
hunted up the stricken parents of
George Bolser and assisted them
tn getting started to the scene of
the tragedy.
Mr. Peterson states that tfhe Bol
ser family were well-to-dlo and high
ly respected in the Harwood neigh
borhood. They "K were a young
couple, Geoge Bolser being about
25 years of age, and the children
were all babies.
George Bolser was in Harwood
at about 10 o'clock last night, and
that was the last seen alive of any
members of the family. ".

AN INCESSANT COUGH.
1
Continued Dropping of Mucus
into my Throat.
A severe cough is always a grave
symptom. It may not indicate or
ganic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough is a functional dis
turbance it is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to it. It
is stated on good authority that mu
cus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh of the
stomach. At any rate, the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland, of Frankston, Texas,
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap
pear, but the dropping of rtiucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
"For twenty-three years I was a
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. I had a severe misery and
burning in the top of my head. There
was almost a continual dropping of
mucus into my throat, which caused
frequent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became involved,
and my condition grew worse. I had
an incessant cough and frequent at
tacks of bilious colic, from which It
seemed I could not recover. My
bowels also became affected, causing
alarming attacks of hemorrhages.
."I tried many remedies, which gave
only temporary relief, or no relief at
all. I at last tried Peruna, and in
three days I was relieved of the bowel
derangement. After using Sve bottles
I was entirely cured.
"I most cheerfully recommend the
use of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted."
People who object to liquid medi
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

CHARGES OF FRAUD
AGAINST G. W. SWORDS
Fargo, N. D., Jan- 28.—Sweeping
charges ,ofl fraud in alleged [mis
appropriation of bank funds, and
intimations of grosij negligence on
the part of the controller in check
ing up bank receivership, are made
against George W. Swords in an
action filed in federal court b" Don
Steffa of San Francisco and major
ity stockholders of the Minot Ra
tional Bank of which Swords was
the receiver from 1905 to 1913.
Swords was later receiver of the
First National Bank "of Rugby from
1909 to the present time and is
now receiver of the First National
Bank of Billings, Mont.
Separate Action brought.
U. C. Cover and S. H. Cover of
the Cover Banking company of
Keswick, Iowa, are named as co
defendants. A separate action has
been brought against the Fidelity
Deposit company of Baltimore, on
Sword's bond.
Among the allegations are
cjharges of defalcations in the Mi
not bank running into thousands
of dollars payment of his own
law partner by Swords of $2,200
for work never performed $1,000
to another attorney falsifying liis
report to the controller of curren
cy retaining possession on his own
ranch of a herd of cattle belonging
to* one of the banks of wrich he
was receiver reporting the loss of
$44,000 on one item that during
his numerous receiverships in Iowa,
North Dakota and Montana, twice
creditors have petitioned for his re
moval. It is also charged! that lie
manipulated perjured testimony by
which lie secured the indictment of
Herman J. Haskamp, from whom
he extracted $37,000. Haskamp
was first president of the Minot
National Bank and later of banks
at Melrose, Minn., and St. Cloud,
Minn., and is now a resident of
Los Angeles.
Sword's Renioval
Askon.
The complaint asks that Swords
be removed as recerver for malfeas
ance that a master of chancery
be appointed to secure a thorough
accounting of his eight years' re
ceivership of the Minot. National
Bank.
Intimations are made that sensa
tional disclosures are likely regard
ing the manner in whidh certain
national bank receiverships of the
northwest have been handled.
