THEY HAD A VERY BIG TIME. Family Gathering Enjoys Outing Horn Place. at W. P. Cook and family, and Clarence Forbes and family returned yesterday from a camping trip to the neighbor hood of Cedar Island. They went out several days ago and encamped upon the Horn place, their camp being lo cated at the foot of Cedar Island on the high bench rising from the Platte. It was an ideal location for a camp, the tent being pitched beneath the great oaks which graced the bench with a fine view of the river rolling along below them and the pretty green of cedar island rising in the foreground. They had taken good care to keep within the reach of the household of Mike Haus laden who occupies the Horn farm, and they found it well needed as they were called upon several times to forage for bread and other eatables. The ladies of the party had been depended upon to see that a sufficient supply of eatables were provided but they were underesti mated the open air appetites of the male members who devoured all in sight. The party had a fine tent being nine and one-half feet square, with six foot sides, making it an ideal room. There was also a smaller tent for the male members of the party. Every night the front of the big tent would be opened and a roaring fire of dry limbs and branches built up which warmed the tent untill it was as cosy as could be imagined. In the morning the ashes were scraped aside and in a few moments a great fire roared away upon which the fish the party had caught were soon frying. To the kindness of Mrs. Haus- laden the party owed some nice fresh country eggs which were served in all kinds of style. Then there was ice for those articles which ice i3 needed for, and in fact, the party enjoyed all the comforts of home with the wild life of the open air. They all enjoyed the out ing nugeiy ana were sorry to be com pelled to draw it to a close. Got a Bad Fall. Wednesday afternoon Lafe Nelson suf ferred a painful injury by being thrown from a road grader while working on the Rock Bluffs road. It seems that Mr. Nelson was driving the grader over a piece of unusually bad road, such as the whole east end of the county has been afflicted with since the heavy rains of last, spring, and the grader struck a rough spot with such force that he was precipitated to the ground. He unfortunately alighted upon his head and shoulders with so great force that he was knocked unconscious and remained in that state for nearly an hour. Fortunately he revived without any serious injury and aside from being painfully bruised, he came out little the worse for his experience. FOREST FIRES ARE CLOSE 10 HIBBENG LARGEST TOWN ON THE MESABA RANGE IS THREATENED. MEN ALL FIGHT FLAMES Duluth Sends Engine and Firemen Grand Marais and Its People Are in Imminent Danger. Duluth, Minn., Sept. 9. Hibbing, me largest ana most prosperous town on the Meaaba range, is threatened with destruction by fire. Despite the fact that the city is fairly well pro tected by clearings and large open pit mines, the flames have been getting closer all the time and every place of business in the town is closed and the men are all out fighting the flames. "The Are Is getting dangerously close and the situation looks serious Is the opening sentence of a telegram received from J. W. Kreitler, superin tendent of the Duluth, Missabe &. Northern railway, at the general of flees of the road at 3:30 o'clock Tues day afternoon. The rest of the tele gram follows: 'The flre comes very near the Great Northern spur on this side of Brook lyn, a suburb of HlbbinR, and the wind is mowing our direction, but not so hard as an hour ago. Every Man Fighting Flames. 'The city has all available hose out and every man we can find is fighting the fire. They have established a pipe line and installed two pumps. The sky is clearing of smoke somewhat now, but we are threatened on the north side as well. 'Ten Oliver engines just passed with men going to fight the fire. The schools are closed; the business houses are closed and have sent their men out to fight the flames. All the saloons are closed." The Duluth fire department received a telegram from the department at Hibbing asking that an engine and all the hose that could be spared, be shipped to them by special train at once. Chief Black with a number of men and the engine left Duluth shortly after four o'clock for the scene. The Missabe road, realizing the danger of the inhabitants of the range, has trains in waiting at Hibbing to take the people away. Smoke and Heat Oppressive. Smoke from the forest fires which surround the town make Hibbing so dark that the electric lights have been turned on there in the day to enable the citizens to see their way about. The smoke is stifling and is causing a great deal of discomfort. The heat Is very oppressive. Unless the wind changes Coleraine and Bovey will be safe from the flre. for the present at least. Accordln to the latest advices from those towns, the situation looked serious for awhile Tuesday afternoon, but the wind is now blowing tne nre in an opposite direction from the towns. Tne scnools ana business nouses are all closed and every one is out fight ing th( fires, and preparing to vacate their homes at a moment's notice. Grand Marais in Peril. Grand Marais, Minn., on the north shore. Is in the greatest peril. The people are in worse straits than the range people in that they have no place to flee to. Forest fires are rag ing within a mile of the town. Al J. Smith, county attorney of Hennepin county, who has been camp ing beyond Grand Marais with Judge Purdy and Judge Noyes, also of Min neapolis, was burned out at his camp and with his party had to escape to Grand Marais In a launch. Settlers In the country along the north shore are walking Into Grand Marais, arriv ing smoke begrimmed, burned and ex hausted, with pack3 of their most valuable belongings on their backs and their families dragging wearily along behind them. The woods are dry as tinder as there has not been, a drop of rain in the north shore country for 14 weeks. The flre is rushing down upon the town In great bounds. Mr. Smith and his friends marshaled the terror stricken citixen3 of Grand Marais for a meeting and got 40 men to widen the clearing around the town. People Beg for a Boat. When Mr. Smith left the fate of the town was in doubt. The citizens were loath to leave their homes and belongings without making a fight for them, so many of them remained be hind. Women, weeping, begged those who went to send a boat back for them quickly. They wanted the steamer Gopher to come up and He in the harbor so that if necessary there might be a place to flee to. It 13 reported that homesteaders along the north shore have left their cabins and are sleeping in tents and in the open close to the lake shore. Mr. Smith says an east wind will bring on the destruction of Grand Marais in an hour and no power on earth can save the town. If a fire comes before a boat gets there, the fate of the population of the little town Is a matter of considerable doubt. Accused of Embezzling $75,000. Cincinnati, Sept. 9 Wilhelm de Revy was arrested here Tuesday on the charge of embezzling from three banks in Uniontown, Pa. It Is alleged that the man was a bank clerk and that he had failed to deposit In bank large purrs that Hungarian miners in Pennsylvania gave him for deposit.

RUSTIN PLANNED DEATH MRS. RICE PROMISED TO HIM AND HERSELF. KILL Woman Declares Her Nerve Failed Bank Clerk Involved in the Omaha Sensation. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 9. The coroner's Inquest into the death of Dr. Frederick H. Rustln, whose tragic death at the door of his home In this city has given the police department one of the knot tiest problems it ever undertook to solve, developed several sensations Tuesday. The first was the testimony of Mrs. Abbie Rice, the woman who was last known to be in Dr. Rustin's company on the night of his death. She declared that for some time Dr. Rustin had been talking of committing suicide, but that he wished to disguise the act so as to protect his life insur ance for the benefit of his family. After much importunity he induced her to promise to kill him and then take her own life. Arrangements to this end were made for Friday night. August 28, but her nerve failed. On Tuesday night following. Dr. Rustln pointed out to her on the street car a man who, he said, had promised to do the deed, saying that it would be done that night. Later she identified Charles E. Davis, a clerk in a local bank and- a member of a prominent family, as the man referred to by Dr. Rustin. Davis was placed on the stand and testified that he attempted to com mit suicide on the night in question by taking drugs furnished him by Dr. Rustin, but denied that he promised to kill the doctor or that he had any thing to do with the latter's death. He said the drugs taken made him sick. thus saving his life. He gave no spe cial reason for wishing to end his life, except that he had no desire to live. lie said he had made previous attempts at suicide. Davis has not been arrested. rireman ratauy injurea.

Ry., Plattsmouth, Neb. Sins Smote Him In The Eye. Two of our prominent business men today became involved in an altercation arising out of a too indiscreet use of private conversation with the result that one of them smote the other upon the optic, desisting however, from any actual damage. They lied to Countv Attorney Itawls who listened to their grievances, and advised the injured party to consult Police Judge Archer who had a special brand of justice for just such cases. This had not been done, at the time this was written, and it ii to be hoped the incident can be consider ed closed.
