A LARGE FIRE.
MRS. MICHAEL sULLivAN,s s0UsG
BURNED TO raE GHouND.
The Fire Occurred ON Friday MIGRATING
About . o'clock from some
Unknown Cause.

A frame dwelling house on Freder-
lex street. ia North Martinsburg.
occupied.by Mrs. Michael Sullivan aud
two of her grandchildren. caught fire
about o'clock FRIDAY morning from
some unknown cause and was totally
DESTROYED, together with the majcr
portion of its contents. 1t is supposed
thai the fire or & mated from defect
i've iue When the members of the
household discovered the flames nearly
the whole of she dwelling was en-
veloped, the rooms were filled with
smoke ana they hastily left the burn
ing building, seeking refuge on the
street in the bitter cold, clad only in
scanty apparel.
The alarm brought tardy response
from the fire department. and. the work
of extinRuishing the blaze was greatly
retarded by an accident to the fire
plug on the corner near the fire. 1t
was found that this plug could not be
used, aud il was then necessary to
await the arrival OF one or two more
reels before enough hose could be Sc
cured to reach from the other plug to
the burning house.
Tits gave the fire such headway
that il was impossible to do anything
bat prevent the spread of the blaze to
the adjoining bu ldings, and 1t WAS
not long before the house WAS reduced
to q heap of blackened ruins, nearly
all its contents also going up IN
smoke. No damage was done to the
adjacent property. although nothing
but the abserce of high wind saved
several houses from sharing the fate
nf the home Of Mrs. Sullivan.
The loss on the house and contents
will amount t. about 500, which is
fully covered ny insurance with Alex.

by the transportation of so giant an
enterprise in Carrying the immense
paraphcrnalia of the show itself has
handicapped this wonderful show to
such an extent that 1t has been fully
decided to withdraw the old time, ''al-
ways late" parade, and place all eff
forts, energies and time in the sole en-
tertainment for the people by giving
them the marvellous acts of the pres
ent age, the greatest and most won-
derful that money and brains can pro-
cure. In these advanced days of Cir
cusism, programs as offered by the
Barnum & Bailey show, the s,upend-
GUS acts presented are of such magni-
tude and remarkable mechanism that
the time taken to place them for the
exhibitions is of such value, the hurry
ing out of the parade would in every
way interfere with the arrangements
that are necessary for these unap-
proachable feature offerings. This
new innovation by the big show will
be the presentation of the most sensa-
tional, startling and stupendous free
acts obtainable in the worlt-acts
with international reputations-to en-
terrain the people on the circus
grounds before the show opens for the
matinee; and these extraordinary ex-
hibitions of uuequaled excellence are
to be given absolutely free, and thus
it is the new idea, mo parade" yet
something entertaining and in keep
ing with the greatness of the Barnum

scenes of canine domestic life. There
is no denying the fact that this slip
shod method of enforcing the dog
license law is exasperating and con
tinually the wall goes up from this or
tn at community for the continued
and equable enforcement of the
law that says ''if the license is
n OF paid the dog dies" but Ham
ilton has taken a long stride by
shifting the death penalty from the
dog to the owner. AT first thought
we are inclined to say that this can
not be done constitutionally. We do
not recall any statute that consti
tutes the maintaining of an unlicens-
ed dog a capital offense and if the
extreme penalty Of the law should be
visited upon some luckless Ravallian
our advice would be to take the matter
into the courts and test it.

MARSHAL Higgins
UKASE
BLOOD CURDLlN0 ULTlMATUn
HAS DRIVEN THE DOG
OWNERS TO COVER

A collarless canine is a mighty rare
spectacle in Hamilton of late-they
are as scarce as snow balls in The
Western News Office just now. The
dogs have either gone to the sausage
factory or have been judiciously dis
the issuance of City Marshal Higs ms
bloodthirsty ultimatum. Incidentally,
Hamilton has not gone to the dogs !!
The marshal must be credited with
a remarkab BILE achievement in this con-
nection-he is a man who does things.
Former marshals, following the old
rut and in stereotyped phrase, have
give notice that the dog tax law would
be enforced under the usual pains and
penalties-and the dogs only waxed
more plentiful. Now nobody here
abouts cares to be suspected of own
dog.
Marshal Higgins brief but pointed
ukase did the business and, incident
ally, the wide circulation and extraor-
dinary value as an advertising
medium of The Western News was
demonstrated most conclusively. AS
for the local field Marshal Higgins
will take oath that Everybody must
have seen that notice" and newspa per
clippings from the press of the conti-
nent-from Panama to the North Pole
aud California to Ma1ne-prove the
rest.
The realization that we have been
unconsciously harboring world
famous character and such widely
read newspaper in our midst must be
a source of qualification to every 10y al
Hamiltonian.

JAS. HIGGINS, Marshal.
The foregoing is a verbatim repro
duction of an official notice now being
published in the Hamilton News.
Hamilton is the county seat of Ravalli
county in this state and is-it will be
remembered prohibition county.
We are not saying that this condition
has any connection with the bloody
attitude of the city marshal but there
be those who will put two and two to-
gether and make it four--or five may
hap if that result he necessary tc
maintainance of their contentious
and to such, explanation is due. At
best or worst, dogs are necessary evil.
The poor cannot get along without
them and the rich affect them in
spir it of pure arrogance. The urgent
needs of each municipality have
made it stern duty to levy a 'head
tax" on dogs and though the cost OF
collection not infrequently exceeds
the gross amount collected, it has be-
come a custom and each year the
motions are gone through with and
tn ose dog owners who are wise secrete
their dogs or send them"to the ranch'
for awhile and when the raid is over
they bring them out or back and again

The town of Hamilton, Mont, has a
marshal who evidently does not in
tend to permit that place to go to the
dogs. We find in The Western News
of Hamilton the following warning,
which, as we hope the inha bitants OF
that town have discovered ere this,
speaks for itself:
