Quick work on the part of the Bemidji fire department last night prevented the spread of a blaze at the Warfield Electric company’s plant which undoubt- edly would haye caused much damage had it been allowed to burn, The fire was discovered about 11:30 by men working at the plant. An alarm was im- mediately turned in and the fire- men quickly subdued the flames, but not until damage to the ex- tent of about $50 had been done. The blaze started back of one of the boilers in the boiler room of the establishment and is suppost ed to have been caused by the spontaneous combuston of a ¢uantity of dirt and rubbish that had accumulated behind the boilers. The loss is fully cover- ed by insurance. Wanted at Blackduck. Ethel Thurston was this morn- ing arrested by the local police at the instigation of the Black- duck chief of police, who asked that she be held here awaiting his arrival. The woman is a resident of Blackduck and she will be confined to the county jail until Chief Brunelle of Black- duck arrives tomorrow morning to take her in charge. The com- plaint against her is not known, Neudeck Case On.

Son of Dead Man Who Found Him Says one Side of Face Was Blackened. Ole Moen, a prominent and wealthy farmer of the eastern end of Polk county, was found yesterday a half mile south of his farm bouse in a grove, his body blackened and life departed. The case is a baffling mystery to the authorities so far, and it has not been determined as yet whether foul play, accident, or suicide is responsible for the man’s death. Moen left his home five miles from Fosston Saturday, suppos- edly to pay a visit to his parents whe live in Clearwater county. His wife and family believed him well on his way when his eldest son had occasion to go across the lot to a neighbor’s and stumbled upon the dead corpse of- his father lying in the woods, face downward and blackened as if struck by lightning or poisoned. The lad, frantic with grief, rushed home to the family and notified the authorities 'at Foss ton of the affair. Coroner Ches- terman of Polk county left this morning to conduct an examina- tion, hold an inquest and (pos- sibly conduct a post mortem to determine the cause of death. Moen is prominent in eastern Polk county, hasa large farm, and leaves a sorrowing wife as well. The suicide theory is scouted by his friends whoallege that he had nothing upon his mind which would drive him to such an act. Foul play may have been the cause of his death, as he hada considerable sum of money upon his person when setting out for Clearwater county, THREE SHOT FROM AMBUSH, —_— Outcome ™ of Bitter Family Feud in Tennessee. nn., Aug. 22.—Accord- on received here a battle occurred near Alice w miles south of Harri Frederick Miller and n Miller, aged twenty: 1 Johnson were kilied nother son of Fred n, was dang .
