STARTS IN CATHOLIC CHURCH
DURING SUNDAY SERVICE.
FIREMEN SAVE THE BUILDING
And Rev. Father Walsh , by Cool Headedness -
edness nnd Presence of Mind , Pre
vents Serious Results From a Stanv
pede for the Doors.
Flro broke out In the Church of the
Sacral Heart , at the corner of Mudl-
sou avonno and Fifth street during
the morning Horvleo yesterday , while
the edlflco was Illled with people , and
damaged the building to serious ex
tent besides creating for u mo
ment , an alarm among the congre
gation that might , save for the cool
ness and presence of mind of Hov.
Father Thomas Walsh , hnvo resulted
In a disastrous panic. The lire- start
ed In the furnace room bonea'h the
main floor , eating Its way t > Iong a
frnmo cold air chute nnd pulling Into
the auditorium without an lustnnt's
warning' .
The First Puff.
The first puff of smoke , black and
dfliiso , emerged from a hot air regis
ter near the altar and almost simul
taneously a cold air roglstor In the
south wall throw out a similar puff.
Later the flames , which were oatlng
the wooden chute bolpw , crop ! up and
came Into the church. The llrostait-
cd Just after Father Walsh had begun
bin sorinon and the congregation was
Intently listening to his words.
Crowd Starts for Doors.
The instant that the people roallrod
there wan flro In the bulldlnthey ;
arose en masse and began crushing
toward the doors. At this point the
supr-rb work of Father Walsh , who
cautioned thorn to go slowly and to
use the roar doors for exits , saved a
stainpodo. As it was two women ,
Mrs. McGrano and Mrs. Welch , faint
ed "but " were carried out safely.
All Out In Three Minutes.
So effective were the words of cau
tion that had reached them from Fa
ther Walsh that within three minutes
after the first alarm of fire had
spread , the building had been emp
tied In good order and without Injury
to a single person. A singular fnct
In regard to the fright wns theN per
fect sllonco In the building. Not a
word , not an outcry of any sort was
uttered by men , women or children.
Perfect quiet characterl/ed the whole
crowd from the moment they started
for the doors. The two rear doors of
the building , back of the altar , and
the big swinging doors in the front ,
served admirably In permitting the
people to pnss out freely nnd without
crushing.
Little Boy Gives Alarm.
The alarm of the lire wns first giv
en publicly when Freddie Welsh , one
of the choir in vestments , ran to the
Pacific1 hotel nnd telephoned the call
for the department. The tire laddies
responded almost Instantly and tholr
work was wonderfully efficient In
handling the flames nnd fighting to
save the church property. So dense
was the smoke within the building
Hint dromon worn itiinliln In otitormiil
had to fight the blaze through the
windows.
The blii/e ate out n small portion
of the south side of the church , while
Insldo the greatest dnmngo was done
through water and smoke , the carpet
before the altar bolug ruined by water
and the walls blackened In some
places. All of the walls will have to
bo redecorated and all of the furni
ture in the church will have to be
rovarnlshed. It Is Impossible as yet ,
however , to state Just what the extent -
tent of the dnmngo will be. It Is
wholly covered by Insurance , however.
Vestments in n llttlo closet at the
rear were ruined by the smoke , al
though locked In. Father Walsh
saved a few articles from the altar.
No Personal Losses.
Fortunately there were no losses
In the fire by persons who had hur
ried out. One woman left a purse In
side the smoking building but City
Clerk McFarland went back into the
church and secured the pocketbook
for hor.
The fire in the fiirnaoevnn not n
large one , and only a few minutes be
fore the smoke burst forth , the jan
itor had looked at the furnace nnd
found everything to be all right , lie
hns taken care of the furnace for sev
eral years and has never bad any
trouble with It before. The flro
seemed to have boon cnrrled out by
the cold-nlr chute.by n drnft of wind ,
as there wns no sign of smoke or
blaze Immediately adjoining the fur-
unco Itself. It Is evident thnt the
spark hnd been blown for some dis-
tnnce before It fell in the wooden
trough nnd became fanned Into a
Ha mo.
On Way to Washington.
Valentine. Neb , , Feb. 27. Rev. Aa
ron Tl. Clark , missionary of the Kpls
copal church , from the Rosebud res
ervation , arrived here , accompanied
by Chiefs Hollow Horn Bear , Peter
Tall Mandln , Paul Stranger Horse.
James High Pipe and Interpreter Tom
Flood , en route to Washington to In
terview the secretary of the Interior
relative to the payments of the first
Installment of the monies duo from
the sale of the Gregory county lands.
There are close to five thousand In-
dlaim of all ages , and the money duo.
from the forthcoming payment will >
amount to $2G , aggregating $125,000.
However , the department Is disposed
to withhold that duo to those tinder
olghte.cn years of ago as a trust fund ,
to bo paid each on arrival at that ago.
The minors numhor about 1,100 ,
which would mean the retention of
about $ , ' 15,000 of this money. The In
dians are protesting against this con
templated action , and hence this del
egation. Should the department adhere -
here to Its determination the dlo-
hut'flomcnt at this tlmo will ho close
to $90,000 Instead of $125,000. However -
ever , about $10,000 Is duo for Interest
on sales of lands titular former trea
ties. Since the two payments will
likely bo made during March and In
silver dollars , several four-horse wag
on loads of this specie will soon be
making Its way from Valentino to the
Rosebud agency. Hollow Horn Hear
will represent the Hrulo Sioux In the
Inaugural parade.
KEY TO FIGURE IN CASE.
Found In Gebhard's Office and Alleged
to Have Been Koch's.
Now Ulm , Minn. , Fob. 28. There Is
much local Interest In the story now
l\clng \ told that a bunch of keys was
picked up by nn undertaker in the
room where the body of the murdered
Dr. Gobhard was found. The keys
were on a ring similar to one Dr. Koch
Is alleged to have carried.
A short tlmo before the trial the un
dertaker went to Los Angeles , and
has but recently returned. Upon be
ing questioned , ho says hut one key
was found.
An attorney for the state questioned
about the handwriting on the poison
bottle , said the defense had retained
F. J. Toland as nn expert. Ho aHlrmed
llmt Toland tad several times offered
his services to the state as well as
those of his penmanship director , Pro
fessor Courtney of LaCrosse.
In the opinion of the state's attor
neys there Is sufficient evidence relat
ing to the poison bottle to trace It to
Dr. Koch , and they declare that ex
pert testimony Is not needed.
The state's attorney said It would
bo shown that the poison bottle was
marked and that Dr. Koch attempted
to place it in the Hanska postoffice ,
but finding the aperture too small , ho
took it to the station and handed It
to the mall agent , who will testify.
William Wachter will take notice ,
that on the ICth day of January , 1905 ,

NORTH NEBRASKA CAR LINE.
Reported That Sioux City Will Install
Electric Service.
A story from Sioux City says that
a line Into Nebraska connecting Sioux
City with Nlobrnra and Intermediate
points Is the latest scheme In interurban -
ban circles.
.T. E. Emerson of St. James , Neb. ,
is In Sioux City conferring with
Sioux Cltyans Interested In Interurban
affairs over the proposed Nebraska ex-
tenson. lie assured them that It was
a good project nnd ho wns assured in
return thnt the plan would be Investi
gated nnd reported upon In the near
future. Those who nro Interested In
the mntter nro Frnnz Shenkherg , R.
H. Burton-Smith nnd J. H. Osborne ,
commissioner of the Commerclnl club.
These men will shortly tnko a drive
over the proposed route and report
upon It.
Mr. Emerson , who Is pushing the
project , says the country through
which the line would pass Is a wealthy
one and would add considerably to
Sioux City's volume of trade providing
such a line were built. The greatest
feature in favor of the scheme In his
estlmntlon Is the fnct that the electilc I
power may be developed by water
power , which is In evidence along this '
route to the extent of 40,000-horse
power. There Is a 20-foot head of
wnter In a small stream near St.
James , Nob. , nnd a CH-foot head of wa
ter In the Verdigris river , farther
west. This power could bo communi
cated throughout the entire line. The
wnter power proposition has already
been examined nnd reported on favor
ably -by eastern engineers.
The towns through which the pro
posed line would run are Dakota City ,
Hubbard , Allen , Daly , Bow Valley ,
Crofton and Nlobrara. This line runs
through the middle of a territory of
from 20 to 25 miles not touched by a
railroad.
This la the season ol the year
when people have ample opportunity
to read. It is the time when those
Interested In the latest current events

WATERS OF NORTHFpRK AND
ELKHORN RECEDING.
SAVE FIRST STREET BRIDGE
An Ice Gorge That Had Formed Above
the First Street Bridge Gave Some
Alarm Yesterday Afternoon but the
Huge Mass Was Broken.
The water In rivers which fork at
Norfolk has been receding with great
rapidity during today and the danger
of flood from the three foot of snow
that foil during the winter , has gone
by. The water In the Northfork river
nt this place , which had boon rising
until yesterday , has fallen about two
feet and Is still going down. The water
tor at Plerco has fallen many more
feet .than that and the water In the
Elkhorn river , at Battle Crook , has
also gone down.
A gorge which had formed above
the First street bridge hero during the
day yesterday , ever the Northfork
rlvor , gave some alarm yesterday af
ternoon but was finally broken up by
the UHO of poles so that the small
chunks of Ice were allowed to pass
through.
There was a largo crowd at this
bridge during the day , looking at the
Impending Ice. The water arose suf
ficiently to cross Norfolk avenue , cast
of the rivor. The water also backed
up along the M. & O. dike as far as
the stockyards.
Dynamite was used near the sugar
factory yesterday In breaking up Ice
gorges that had formed , and the rum
ble of the explosions could be distinct
ly hoard In the city.
The snow has practically disap
peared and It Is thought the danger
of Hoods Is nil over.

Sioux City Tribune : "The amount
of corn in the country won't be largo
by the second week in March If the
roads are In condition to haul It , " re
marked H. H. Fenner of Norfolk , Neb. , '
who is at the Mondamln hotel today ; . '
"I have been buying corn between
Norfolk and Sioux City , and find It
bns been moving out rapidly. The
consumption of the big crop of last
year started in early and the feeding
demand has been fairly heavy. I be
lieve the supplies from other sources
were much smaller this year , and
more corn has been exported than ,
ever. What Is now In the terminal V
'
elevators will be needed In Europe
within a few weeks , and you'll see the
farmers getting rid of nearly every
ear of corn they have. Whether this
Is wise or not no one has been able
to determine. Some farmers hold un
til the now crop Is assured. This
seems to be wise. The present move
ment Is due to the cutting of freight
rates , and when the rates are restored
you will see corn go up , and for that
reason I am buying all the corn that
I . Nebraska will be
can secure now. "
