Several Canines Poisoned and Two Shot by Unknown Parties Within the Past Week. - The destroyer of dogs con- tinues to operate in this city, despite every effort to put a stop to his work, and: not only poison is being used, but several dogs have been shot recently. 8. C. Builey's dog partook of poison and was auly saved after a vigorous treatment. Mr. and Mrs. Abercrombie had the same experience with their black spaniel. Saturday night, some individual shot a dog belonging to Julius Dahl, which was ticd in the yard at his bome. The door of the wash room at the home of A. C. MclLean was opened Saturday night and his dog was shot. The dog was not running at large, A dog belong- ing to Mrs, Robinson, living near the city hall, died yesterday evening, as a result of poisoning. Adam Otto also lost a dog, a few days ago, via the poison route. A close watch is being kept, and the guilty party or parties will surely be detected, sooner or later, and a vigorous prosecu- tion will follow. Mayor’s Proclamation.

PRINTER MAKES A THRILLING ESCAPE FROM THE STRUCTURE Forced Onto Balcony by Flames and Slides -Down to the. Ground and Safety. Big Falls, Sept. 17.—(Special to the Pioncer.)—The Exchange hotel and contents were totally destroged by fire last night, en- tailing a loss estimated at $3,000 on the building and $1,000 on the furni ure and fixtures. The hotel was the property of William Harsch, and he is at a loss to account for the origin of the tire. Mrs. Harsch had been in the kitchen, at about 8 o’clock in the evening. She went into the dining room for a few moments and when she stopped into the kitchen again, the whole interior of the room was in flames, and she believes that the fire caught behind the cook stove, in the wood box. The fire spread with such rapidity that it was impossible to save anything in the rooms or the office before the entire build- ing was on fire and burning fiercely. e Thealarm oftire was responded to by the firemen and the gasc- line fire engine was used, but owing to the lack of a sufficient supply of water, it was impos- sible to check the flames and the building was soon burned .ty the ground. The firemen worked steadily, but were inexperienced avd did rot do ‘much effective work, except in the matter of saving other buildings. The nearest building to the burning structure was seyenty- five feet distant. This caught fire several times, but the fire was extinguished. The hotel building burned so fiercely that the glass in windows of buildings across the street was cracked. It is not known at this writing whether Mr. Harsch will rebuild the hotel. He carried no in- surance on either the building or its contemts, and his loss is total, An incident of the fire that caused a sensation was the spec- tacular escape of Joe Bing, com- positor on the Big Falls Compass, who was forced from the sitting- room to the balcony and was compelled to slide down an arm of the balcony to the ground. A Liberal Nimrod. George French and wife re- turned Saturday evening from a most successful hunting trip, in Hubbard county, along the line of the M. & I. railway. They did most of their hunting in the vicinity of Guthrie, where there are a considerable number of grouse. The business manager and city editor of the Pioneer attest to the generosity of Mr. French in the matter of remem- bering his friends and suggest that other nimrods acquire the habit of supplying that hanker- ing for ‘“‘sumething wild” on the partof the editorial and mana- gerial “‘bread basket.” Wes Buys Farm.
