The trial was postponed until this atternoon, when the victor came up before Judge Pender- gast and with a voice husky with emotion she plead guilty to the charge and the judge, consider- ing thateit was her first offense, made the fine five dollars and costs. ‘ 0nly Two Cases County Health Officer Blakes- lee returned last night from Turtle River, where he | has spent a couple of days looking after the scariet fever cases whiclh have bm\n reported from that town.

LOSS OF $30,000 Destructive Fire at Erskine Yes- terday—Hobos Said to Be the Cause. Yesterday morning a disas- trous fire occurred at Erskine which destroyed seven,business blocks and seriously damaged other buildings and eut'ulocl a loss of 3 0, only partially covered by insurance. The tire originated in the Nelson & Hoy- um saloon about two o’clock. It spread rapidly and threatened the entire village and was not stopped until it reached the build- ing of the Bank of Erskine. The saloon in which the fire started had a loft filled with hay in which Phangers on and hobos were al- lowed to sleep. It was in this bull pen that the fire started and it spread rapidly owing to the lack of adequate fire tighting appara- tus. The old engine with which the city was provided was ren- dered useless by the thrusting| of the nozzle of the intake hose|( into the mud and allowing it to fill with sand and mud. The men | who undertook to operate the er gine were excited and thus put it out of business before it had been used. The flames were not brought under control until' nearly eight o’clock.

The chief replied, that he had traveled on foot from Red Lake and was bound for Cass Lake, where his sons and daughters lived, and expected to remain with them during the balance of his natural lifetime. His hair was gray and the deep furrows on his kindly face betok- ened many winters on the hunt- ing trail. Notwithstanding his weariness the old man seemed willing to talk and told a few stories in broken English of life as a savage. The clerk w old man’s helplessn erously offered him a silyer dol- lar with which to take the train in finishing his journey. The aged Indian smiled, took the coin, and with many thanks wended his way between the show cases and through the door, much happier than when h: en- tered. touched by the A Power For Good. their action and pleasant in effect are DeWitt’s Littie Early Risers.
