BODY OF BABY FOUND UNDER BARN IN FARGO
Fargo, March 28.—The body of a newborn baby was found underneath a barn at the rear of the Bert Hartstein residence, 1212 First Ave S yesterday by William M Lord, 113 Twelfth St. S, while searching for his chickens.
The parents of the child are unknown. Police are conducting an investigation.
The body was wrapped only in a thin cloth and it was necessary to chop ice around the body in order to extricate it. The baby had apparently been frozen in the ice for several weeks.
An inquest will be held upon the return of H.F. Horner, state's attorney for Cass County, who is in Illinois and who expects to be back in Fargo Monday.
At the inquest an attempt will be made to determine how the child met its death.

BOY FLED UPSTAIRS
BURNED TO DEATH
Kerosene Lamp Explodes When Children Try to Light It.
Anamoose, N.D., March 7.—News has just reached this city of the fire which occurred on the farm of John Dockter, living about 4 miles southeast of here. The farm house of this party was burned to the ground on Saturday evening, and a 7-year-old son was burned to death in the building. The fire resulted from an explosion of kerosene, which occurred while the two sons of Mr. Dockter, the one that lost his life in the fire and another, 9 years of age, where attempting to light a kerosene lamp. Immediately after the explosion it appears that the 7-year-old boy at once sought refuge upstairs and the fire spread so rapidly that his mother, who was the only other person on the premises at the time, was unable to reach the boy in the second story. Some of the charred bones of the little fellow were found in the ruins of the fire yesterday. The other boy was also badly burned and the mother was only able to extinguish the fire on his clothes by throwing him into a water tank. The fire spread very quickly and did its work rapidly. Before help arrived the fire had done most of the work.

The advantages of the telephone were set forth in a novel way last night when the Bismarck Maennenkor or German singing society was in session at Henry Richholt's residence. A number of music lovers on the telephone line were called up at intervals and given an opportunty to hear the music over the phone. The experiment was successful and some good music was distributed in far parts of the city from the common center of harmony.

MINOT MAN HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM FAST MAIL
Minot, N.D., Feb 5—Herman Miller, 38 years old, of this city, narrowly escaped death when he endeavored to cross in front of the Great Northern's fast mail, No. 27, about 10:30 o'clock, near the stockyards east of town.
One of Miller's horses was instantly killed by the accident, but other than a few bruises, Miller escaped uninjured.
Miller was thrown to the ground and was found later by some employee of the railroad, asleep by his dead horse. Dr. Kermott was immediately summoned, but an examination disclosed the fact that Miller suffered nothing more than a few slight bruises and a good shaking up which apparently failed to bring him out of his delirious state.

Tom Locken, formerly manager of the S. & C. clothing store of this city, was struck by an automobile in Fargo yesterday, and was quickly taken to a hospital where he quickly recovered and was able to leave the hospital last night. The car was driven by Fred Sebestele of Georgetown and the fact that no serious injuries were received by Mr. Loken is due to the fact that the car was being driven quite slowly.
