THREE HORRIBLY MANGLED Murderer, His Wife and Six-Year-Old 8on Are Blown to Pieces, but a Four- Year-Old Girl Miraculously Escapes a Like Fate—Jealousy Sald to Have Been the Cause of the Triple ‘Tragedy. Negaunee, Mich., April 16.—Frank Saarinen, his wife and six-year-old Bon were blown to pleces with dyna- mite. A girl four years old is the only surviving member of the family. Baarinen himself did the killing. There were two beds in the house. The husband and son occupied one of gthem and the wife and daughter the other, Saarinen arose early and placed a stick of dynamite under each bed. He lit the fuses and then lay down again. The explosions were ter- rific. Saarinen and his wife and son were horribly mangled. The little girl was blown out of bed, but marvelously es- oaped injury. The house was badly damaged. Saarinen was a miner, thirty years old. .His wife was twenty-four. She came from Europe with the children only two weeks ago. Saarinen is said to have been jealous and this made him despondent. The triple tragedy was the result. CHANGSHA RIOT CONTINUES Missionaries Escape by Going on Board Vessel in Harbor. Hankow, April 16.—The situation at Changsha, the capital of Hunan, is grave.

NORTH DAKOTA PROSPERITY Report of Federal Department of Agri- culture. ‘Washington, April 16—Farming prospects in Western North Dakota are exceedingly bright, according to the soil survey which has been made by the bureau of sofls of the depart- ment of agriculture. The report says that “any one who expects to encoun- ter the typical old time pioneer in these prairie sections will be disap- pointed.” “Already in some of the more east- ern counties,” it says, “the live stock almost equals in number that of the old grazing days and with the pro- gressive development of more inten- sive forms of farming it i{s probable that Western North Dakota will main- tain in the near future fully as many head of cattle as in the old ranching days and in addition will be producing grain crops which can only be meas ured in millions of bushels.” Microbes. “Speaking of the ark,” he said, “I saw a little boy at play with his - Noah’s ark the other day. I watched - him put aboard all the people, all the painted animals, and then I saw hiw place carefully in a sheltered spot tw: tiny splinters of wood. “ ‘What are they, my son? I asked. “*“Them's microbes,’ said he. - “It-had never occurred to me before, but there must of course have been a pair’ of microbes in the ark.”—Har. - per's Weekly. ais
