gy an0? THEIR OWN| ¥ sp Men Injured in Steam Boiler Explbsign, Still Aljve, at 25t AnthoRy’s: SMALL HOPES FOR RECOVERY OF TWO SUFFERS. wries Sust, :mg_ by .Fred Eik- stadt and Albert Brewer May Prove:Fatal, The five men injured by the ex- plosion of a steam boiler at the farm of Fred Eikstadt Monday *afternoon are still holding their ownat St. Anthony’s hospital, al- though small hopes for the re- covery of Eikstadt and Albert Brewer are entertained. Eik- stadt has a fractured skull be- sides a broken foot and broken leg, and is otherwise badly bruised and cut. Brewer hasin- ternal injuries which may prove fatal. The other injured men are in a better condition, although Alfred Brewer is in a very serious con- dition and may not recover, as a result of his skull being fractured and his thigh broken. William Haberli and George Hand, the other injured men, seem to be in good condition and their in- juries are not considered serious. Physicians have been in con- stant attendance at the bedside of the five men during the entire day, and every effort to save their lives is being made. Each of the sufferers is making a gallant fight for life, and in spite of their terrible pain little complaint is heard from them. The faces of each victim of the explosion are literally covered with marks, as the result of sand being blown into the skin by the force of the explosion, and it is miraculous that a number were not blinded. One of the peculiar things con- nected with the explosion is the fact that of the six men injured, not one of them heard the explo- sion although the report was plainly audible three miles away.

Moody, of St. Paul’s Church, Brainerd, Minn,, on the invitation of the Bishop of the diocese will hold evening prayer at the Odd Fellows Hall Thursday evening, to which not only members of the Episcopal church but the public generally are invited.

CARSON, Mgr Phone 282 BADLY BANGED = AND BATTERED Franh JoArtz=oets With _ Severe Misfortune In p theago. Attorney Henry Funkley is this morning in receipt of a letter from Frank J. Artz, acquitted here in September of the murder of Weillander in a dispute over a homestead last spring. Mr. Artz has been working at his trade, that of a plasterer, :n Chi- cago. On November 17 while at work on a church a scaffolding broke and precipitated Artz and five others to the ground. Artz was injured internally one leg was badly bruised, nearly all his front teeth were &nocked out, his nose was smashed and his forehead badly cut. At the time of writ- ing he was just able to see out of his eyes enough to write. SMALLPOX AT BLACKDUCK Seven Cases of Disease Re- ported—County Health Officer Investigates. Dr. F. A. Blakeslee, county health officer, left last night for Blackduck and from there he will go to a point a few miles northeast of that city, where it is said smallpox is prevalent. Seven cases have been reported to him and he will investigate the matter and should any cases be found they will be quarantined for the regular quarantine period, These are the first cases which have been reported in Beltrami county during the winter and it was thought that the disease had been entirely stamped out. BIG SWAMP IS FROZEN OVER Heavily Loaded Wagons Now Enabled to Cross From Northome to Ripple. The cold weather which has been prevalent for the past two or three days has been produc- tive of much good to the people of northern Minnesota, espec ially to residents of Ripple and Northome. The big swamp which it is necessary to cross in order to gain access between the two towns has been open until yes- terday, when the first teams passed over it. The wagons were heavily loaded and the swamp carried the big loads easily. It was feared ab one time that a famine would be experienced at Ripple because of the inability of supply teams to get to the town but with the swamps frozen oyer any amount of goods can be sup plied to the town. = PRESBYTERY RELEASES HIM Resignation of Rev. McLeod Accepted By Adams Pres- bytery Yesterday. Crookston Times: A special meeting of the Adams Presby- tery convened at the Presbyter- ian manse this morning to con- sider the resignation of Rev. J. P, McLeod of Bemidji. The fol- lowing ministers were present: Rev. William Best of East Grand Forks, Rev. G. A. Holzinger of Fisher, Rev. R. T. Fulton, of Warren, Rev. J. F. McLeod of Bemidji, Rev. N. A. Gilchrist, the new pastor-at-large of the Adams Presbytery, and Rev. Donald MacKenzie of this city. With great reluctance the pas- toral relation between Rev. Mec- Leod and the First Presbyterian church of Bemidji was dissolved. Mr. McLeod had been pastor at Bemidji over twn years, and dur- ing that time 104 new members were added to the church roll. Grand Jury Too Hot. Crookston Times: This after- noon while Ole Thorenson -of East Grand Forks was being ex- amined before the grand jury he fainted away and had to be car- ried from the room. He was placed in the basement where by evening he had apparently fully recovered. What the nature of the evidence he gave was, of * | course is not known, nor whether it was the testimony that was so hot or the temperature in the room that caused the fainting spell. Miss Speak, the popular trim- mer at the Berman Emporium, left this morning for Minneapolis, where she will spend Christmas with friends and relatives. COFFIN FOR & XMAS GIFT E. L. Naylor of Bemidji Re- ceives Peculiar Present for Christmas. EXACTLY HIS SIZE, COFFIN SEEMS INTENDED FOR HIM. Mr. Naylor Accepts Present But Does Not Expect to Use It This Year. Among all the imaginable Christmas gifts, the most pecu- liar, perhaps, was received yes- terday by E. L. Naylor from a friend in Fergus Falls in the shape of a coffin exactly his size and apparently intended for use by him. Upon opening the box which held the peculiar Christmas gift, Mr. Naylor found a piece of paper bearing the inscription “Merry Christmas.” He un- packed the coffin and removed it to his store on Third street, where it will remain until Mr. Naylor finds an epportunity to put it to use—not upon himself, but upon the body of somebody else whose soul has takeen its flight heavenward. The casket was made of the best material and was exactly Mr. Naylor’s size—five feet and nine inches in length and of a suitable width. He says that at the present time he does not ex- pect to use it for himself by Christmas. ®, START WITH FIFTY MEMBERS Modern Brotherhood of Amer- ica Makes a Fine Beginning. The newly organized lodge of the Modern Brotherhood cf America begins its existence with 50 members and it is understeod that a class of twenty more will be initiated in the near future.

Absolutely Pure HAS NO SUBSTITUTE BIG BOOM FOR DULUTH SCHOOL A Flattering Endorsement By Western Penman, the Highest Authority. The December number of the Western Penman has this to say about the Duluth Business Uni- versity and its management: “The Duluth Business University of Duluth, Minn., is under the management of that sound and able educator, Mr. W, C. McCar- ter.”” Mr. McCarter belongs to the class of “square’’ school men, who believe in the real dignity of their calling and who will not stoop to any kind of fakery. The school gets a good patron- age, just as it ought, but not any more than its merits justify. for Mr. McCarter is leaving nothing undone to give the very best, and he knows how to go after it. The fact that the Western Pen- man has an immense circulation in the United States and Canada is a recognized authority and critic on the carriculum methods and management of business col- leges, in both countries and the dictator of our presentsystem of business penmanship makes such empathic endorsement by it what any business college in this coun- try might well be proud of. We certainly congratulate Mr. Me- Carter on the success and high standing in the community of his splendid institution.
