nection with the fire in the saloon
of b.. P. Andrews Sunday night.
The defendants came before
Judge Green's court Tuesday
evening at 5 o'clock and entered a
plea of not guilty. Upon request
of their attorney, M. B. Moore,
the hearing was continued until
8 O'Clock Wednesday morning. A
request was also made for a change
of %venire, which was taken under
advisement.
Through an agreement between
Prosecuting Attorney Greenfield
and Attorney Moore Wednesday
morning, the hearing was contin-
ued until next Monday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, and will be held be-
fore Justice Ferree of Encamp-
ment.
Bonds were fixed in the sun of
$4,000 for f. P. Andrews, $1,000
for Wagner, $1,000 for Day,
1000 for Nelly Brown and $500
for Smith. As the defendants
we're unable TO give bonds, they
were remanded to the custody of
the officers, with the exception of
Smith, who was allowed to go free
on his own reconnaissance.
The saloon where the fire was
set, was sold last year to John
Chase by Mr. Andrews and a mort.
gage taken in part payment. Mr..
Andrews has been running the
saloon with Day as an assistant.
Wagner was employed as a roust-
about, and Smith and Miss Brown

The coach had four horses at

passengers. About two o'clock
the driver discovered they were
not on the road, and from that

wandered in search of it. AS it
was useless to attempt tinding
their way after night they stop

resulting.
Rev. Watson returned to town

QUEER FISH
Species Known as Mountain Herring in
Fremont Lake Fremont
County

The low water at the outlet of
Fremont lake where it passes into
Pine creek, is now alive with a
little fish commonly known as the
mountain herring, which have
come up to spawn.
The outlet presents Il most
scenic appearance at this time.
The water is open here the year
round. and the outlet where the
fish are spawning is rocky and
full of boulders forming beautiful
rapids. The fish seek the many
pools and are 80 thick there at
times MS to force on another high
and dry out off the water. The
sight is a beautiful one. These
fish are of a peculiar specie, and
are never een except during the
spawning season. The lake has

it is presumed that these fish only
come up out of the deep water to
spawn.
They are from six to ten inches
long, speckI-d, and with scales,
with a mouth like IA herring.
The traits of these fish were
first discovered by the Indians
years ago and they would face the
terrors of any storm in order to
get here by January 18th, and
make camp waiting for the fish to
arrive. The outlet of the lake is
very narrow channel. which they
would rock up except for a small
opening for the fish to pass
through. The water below trick
led through the rocks and the
only way for passage below IA to
jump the rapids. Very few would
escape from the trap when once
u was tloSt'. ~ line WOulu ne
formed across the rapids with
clubs. and as soon as the outlet
had been closed, they would adj
vance, driving the fish into higher
water where the nets had been set.
They would sometimes get as high
as a ton at one drive.
This was there only chance for
fish supply, and each catch would
be frozen and packed back to the
rendezvous. In spite of the fact
that hundreds of thousands of the
fish were taken out each year the
supply never seemed to decrease.
This lake is also well stocked
with the finest of trout-three
species having been found-but
they do not spawn until later

Great Future for West

gressman Mondell
DRY FARMING PRODUCTIVE
Not due to Change Of Climate But to a
Change Of Farmers and q Change
Of Crops

Whether $40 acres as a home.
stead shall take the place of 100
acres is a question which is being
discussed before the Public Lands
Committees of the Senate and
House. Statements have been
made showing that a square mile
is not too much to allow a man in
certain states in the west and
that 100 acres is too little. An
interesting argument was made
last Friday before the house COM
mittee by Representative Mondell
of Wyoming, chairman of the
House Irrigation Committee, in
which he took decided ground
against any hasty Legislation on
this subject.
Congress passed n law on this
question last session including
the land of western Nebraska"
He said with the understanding
that it would be in the nature of
an experiment. After a fair trial
there, and a careful investigation
of its results, it may be wise-may
be wise | say-Jo enact similar
legislation for other limited To-
calitIes: but to forwith apply the
plan to great areas of the west at
this time, would be a dangerous
thing. The Nebraska law has
been in no sense a demonstration
as yet"
Mr.. Mondell stated that he had
made four or five long railroad
trips throughout this part of Neb-
raska and he had observed no in
dication of settlement under this
law. He saw no new honses nor
no evidence of increased popula-
ton. He admitted that there are
vast areas of the west which can
eventually be classified as grazing
lands solely, irredeemable beyond
any process of irrigation, better
farming methods or through the
introduction of new arid land
crops. '.but," he said, 1--WE are in
no condition at this time and will
not be for many years, to ~inlelli-
gently classify all those lands.
There is a Great Advance being
made on the desert today, by
which newly discovered crops and
methods of culture are constantly
making productive and will re-
claim millions of acres which "A
few years ago were supposed to
be ABSOLUTELY unfit for crop grow.
ing. 1t would be a serious mis-
take to condemn any of these
lands which will, as agricultural
science progresses more and more
become suitable for home, to in
definite stock grazing"
AS an illustration, he stated
that in his own county of Weston
lying Immediately west of the
South Dakota line, some IL years
ago a start was made by himself
and family to grow grain without
irrigation. These ''agricultural'
operations were looking upon by
the cowboys as a great Joke. The
section was a "cow country" and
dry land farming. well there was
not eve a question that it would
succeed. Now IA quarter of a mil
lion bushels of grain and 25,OOO
bushels of vegetables are produc-
ed annually-wheat yielding from
Is to % bushels per acre-and in
Crook county to the north, and
also west of the South Dakota
line the crop production without
irrigation is much more. In the

OF f. P. Andrews Sun
day Night Game near
being Disastrous
WAS NOT An ACCIDENT
ciaoumstanoes Would Indicate that
Fire was Deliberately Set to
Destroy Building.

About 1920 Sunday night a
fire was discovered in the real OF
the saloon of E. p. Andrews, by
Ralph Campbell. The alarm was
at once turned in and after ten or
fifteen minutes hard work the fife
was gotten under CONTROL and fin
ally extinguished.
Mr.. Campbell was walking
down Bridge street and noticed a
strong odor of burning kerosene.
Not being able to locate its where
abouts from the street, he ran up
the stairs on the end of the Jen-
sen block and from there could
see flames coming out of the roof
of the Andrews saloon. He at
once gave the alarm and not be-
ing able to gain an entrance into
the saloon, the door being locked,
he smashed out a window and
ran to the back room where Mr..
Andrews has been in the habit of
sleeping, but found no one. There
is still another room back of this
and forcing the door to this room
the interior was found to be in
flames. A large crowd had as.
sembled by this time and in a
short time the fire was extin-
guished. Had the fire been dis
covered five or ten minutes lat
err it would have been beyond
control as the roof was all but
burned through and the entire
business section of Saratoga
would have been destroyed as
there vas a stiff wind blowing and
nothing could have prevented the
spread of the fire.
That the fire was deliberately
set is the general opinion and a
meeting OF citizens was held in
the City hall Monday morning.
A committee of seven was ap-
pointed to investigate the matter,
which they did and reported the
committee was unanimous in de-
Gliding the fire was not accidental.
In the back room where the
fire was discovered is a small
stove, which Mr.. Andrews stated
was to keep the beer from freez-
ing. On the evening of the fire
he claims to have put in coal and
closed up the stove before going
home, the fire being caused by an
explosion of the gas from the coal.
Parties there during the fire state
there was no fire in the stove nor
probably hadn't been that evening
as the iron was cold. On each
side of the stove was a five gallon
can, one said by Mr.. Andrews to
nave contained coal Oil anu VIC
other ~gasolene, probably a quart
in each can. AS the cans were
empty and not damaged, and con-
hicting stories told concerning
the quantity in each can, it is safe
to say the cans we're either empty
or the contents poured out before
the fire started. There were q
couple of barrels of straw and q
keg of whiskey also in close prox.
unity to the stove.
The odor of burning coal OF
and g~asolene was strong, and the
supposition is the contents of the
cans were used to give the flames
an impetus.
