FLAMING CABOOSE IS BROUGHT TO BEMIDJI T0 PUT BLAZE OUT The generally accepted way in case of a destructive fire is to have the fire squelching apparatus pro- ceed to the fire, but last night the fire was bruught to where it was . doused, and it happened somewhat thusly: A caboose on the M. & I. railroad, used by the telegraph and linemen crews, mysteriously caught .fire be- tween Nary and Bemidji. The train crew uncoupled the burning caboose and brought it to Bemidji where a quietus was placed upon the flames. VERDICT FOR ELLIS IN LAWSUIT OVER CEDAR The suit brought to recover for cedar claimed to have been sold by Samuel W. Ellis to the American edar company came to a close in district court this morning when the jury’s verdiat was announced in fa- vor of Mr. Ellis for $936.81. After the sale of the cedar was made by Mr. Ellis, the cedar was destroyed by fire. The purchaser had not inspected the cedar before the fire and had failed to insure it and the question involved was wheth- er the title had passed to the com- pany. The jury found that the title had passed and that the inspection was o be made merely for the purpose of determining the total amount to be paid. Graham M.
