The origin of the fire is still In
doubt, bat the general impression is
was the work of a fire fiend who at
tempted to cover the evidence of a
burglary committed in the stores oc-
cupied by a. g. Bell and the Apex
Grocery Company.
Practically all the business portion
of the town is in ashes. All of the
equipment of the Apex News Company
is destroyed.
There is no clue as to who wrought
this work of ruin.

OLGA MAN DIES SUDDENLY.
Antoine Didier Was at the Home of a Friend
When Deaths Summons Came to Him.

Antoine Ddier, long known as a
respected resident of Olga died suddenly
last Thursday evening at the home of a
near neighbor named Youilliard. while
sitting in a chair by the stove talking to
his friend. Since his arrival at the
house after supper he complained of not
feeling we'll. Suddenly his head dropped
back and with gasp he was dead. He
was carpenter and during the day had
been engaged in making rough box for
the coffin of his young friend, Modesto
Gariepy. He had been leader of the Olga
church choir for years and at work was
humming over the music of the funeral
service. His death was found to be due
to heart failure and therefore no inquest
considered neeessary.
The deceased was about forty y-eight
years old and had lived in Olga ever
since that part of the county was first
settled. To mourn his sudden death
there is left widow and family of foul
children, also brother, Joseph Didier
He was a member of the Modern Wood
men order, the lodge taking part in the
funeral held Saturday forenoon.

ROUSES A SCANDI-
NAYIAh'S IRE.

The present management Of liz
Optic must be suffering from some
serious mental disease. Az the
writer is not a doctor either in
politics or anything else, he does
not pretend to be able to dag
nose the case with any accuracy,
but there are some symptoms
that are so glaring and striking,
that even n novice can venture
to make guesses, without much
fear Of falling far from the mark.
That the present management
Of the Optic is laboring under
some severe mental strain is evil
dent from an editorial in the is
sue of September Goth with the
headline "What is it for Any
way" and reads ~ follows:
Tho Scandinavian league was evil
IDENTITY organized for tho righteous pur-
pose Of advancing tho interests Of Ger
tain Scandinavian politicians without
any thought Of bringing about the
eventual deportation Of native.bor
Americans to some island surrounded by
alkali water and sea weeds. The Optic
has . large number OF Scandinavian
friends located in almost every nook
and corner Of this state and it is not pre-
pared to accept the advanced theory
that it is the aim Of the Scardinavians
of North Dakota to eventually rule tho
state and make the home people subser-
Want to their ideas Of a republican form

Whether this is an outburst
from an attack Of nightmare,

the outcome OF something more

belief of many that the present

been imbiblng to freely from the
fountain Of politics as set up by
the present state machine, and
has grown very hilarious over tile

II. E. Brown while drunk and
disorderly, was taken to the lock
up Sunday afternoon by the

was. Judge Murray asked the
unlucky Brown to explain how
he came into possession OF a COW
bell found in the jail.
