i if; BAU FIRE AT KELLIHER Three Buildings Burned to The Ground at Early Hour This Morning. DEFECTIVE CHIMMEY CAUSE UF THE BLAZE. J. P. Carlson, Sam Benson And John Lerdahl The Losers— Little Insurance. A destructive fire which broke out at 3 o’clock this morning de- stroyed the buildings, together with their contents, of J. P, Carl- son, Sam Benson and John Ler- dahl at Kelliher. The entire property loss is estimated at $6,5600 with $350 insurance on the Carlson building, $250 on the Benson building and a small emount on the building of John Lerdahl. The fire started in the Carlson building, in which Mr. Carlson conducted a hotel and saloon. The blaze was discovered by the village marshall, but the “entire building was wrapped in flames which were already spreading to adjoining property. An alarm was turned in and the citizens responded, as the village has no organized fire company, but in spite of a desperate effort the fire gained rapid headway and in a short time the three frame struc- tures were nothing but a heap of ashes. Very little Was saved from the fire and the losses to the owners of the property are as follows: J. P. Carlson, board- ing house and saloon, $2,500; Sam Benson, one story saloon building, $2,000; John Lerdahl, saloon and lodging house, $2,500.

GIRL HE LOVED DiED IN GER- MANY YEARS AGO. g Broadins Over His Loss Causes Unbalanced Mind—Will Be Tried Tomorrow. Brooding over the death of a girl heloyed in Germany has caused the insanity of Otto Jucker, a homesteader who lives a short distance ‘from Wilton, and a warrant for his arrest was sworn out before Judge Clark this afternoon by B. H. Major, a neighbor of the insane man, and the trial will be heard in probate court tomorrow. Neighbors of Jucker, who is 80 years of age and spent the better. part of his life in Ger- many, have noticed that the man was actingin a queer manner for some time past, but did not sus- pect the cause of his derange- ment. He has grown steadily worse, however, and of late made irequent visits to the home of Mr. Major and others who live in that yicinity. His hobby seems to be marriage, but religion has also affected his mind, as he car- ries a bible with him constantly and reads passages of the good book to his listeners, He seems to be bent upon the marriage of a young girlhe loved in Germany and who died in that ecountry twenty years ago; and it is thought by those who have heard his declarations that the menory of his sweetheart is the cause of his insanity. county poor house, 412 cases of|; To everyone with whom he comes in contact he tells of his future bright prospects, and says thathe will try to be worthy of his bride-to-be, who he imag- ines is alive and well, but whose bones in reality are rotting in their grave in the Fatherland.

Deputy John Bailey left this afternoon for Wilton to serve the warmnt upon the insane man. How’s This.
