Village Lighted Again
The Daniels Electric Co. has connected
with the town electric lights and Thurs
day night tor the first time IN many
months the residents of this place enjoyed
good electric lights. The village power
has been shut off to allow repairs IN the
new dam. T. T. Daniels has had gang
of men working on his penstock both day
and night for the past ten days thaw1ng
the ice and has used everything in thaw-
ing the big pipe. He has burned his
winters Supply of slabs and has used
nearly 100 gallons of gasoline in his rush
to get his plant into running condition.
His son, Carl Daniels, worked both day
and night at the plant until be was forced
to 90 home from exhaustion and was
again at his work after a few hours sleep.
On account of this shutdown at the
electric plant the firms of Oclair, Wallace,
the American Granite Co., the polishing
mills, Sullivan, and F. T. Russell's big
feed store were all Obliged to suspend
operations until power could be furnished
them. These firms have all resumed
work. The Daniels Electric Co. will
furnish power for the electric lights until
the town plant at Pottersville is COM
pleted.
Fire broke out in the Daniels polish
ing mill Friday night and was under con-
troll at 1890 o'clock. 1t had been burn
ing long time before it was discovered
by Mr.. Barr The FIRE is thought to have
originated either from an electric wire or
from the heating apparatus. 1t is prob
able that $50 will cover the loss.
The village was aroused Friday night
at about halt past ten by the fire alarm,
as it had been discovered that one end OF
the polishing shed belonging to T. T.
Daniels was on fire, but by the swift
work of the fremen the fire was soon put
out and it was exceedingly fortunate as
the water supply is so low and the wind
was blowing gale.

friends in the southern parts OF the state
for several weeks, arrived home Friday
evening.
