WASH Attempt to Burn City?

!. About 4 o'clock Sunday morn
ing j. III. Tompkins' ice house, a
frame structure at the rear OF
the meat market caught fire in a
mysterious manner, and burned
TO the ground. The building was
very close to the Second National
Bank and for Il time it looked as
tho that building would catch
fire. This would have taken a
large business portion Of Minot.
The fremen responded nobly to
the fire alarm and as the water
worked perfectly. little damage
was done to the adjoining build
ings. This is the third time that
a fire has originated in this part
OF the city and it looks q good
deal as tho some one desired to
burn up our city. The fire was
evidently the work OF some fire
bug.

and Richardson did a peculiar
stunt at their meeting last week,
when they lowered the salaries OF
Deputy Register OF Feeds Ralph
Abbott, and Deputy County
Auditor, r. S. Wilson from $S5
month each to $35 a month.
The commissioners gave as their
excuse that the men We're not
worth more than $35 per month.
Queer isn't it that it took those
watchful fellows A YEAR TO
FIND THIS OUT.
Three days later finding that
they had gone contrary to the
law, they raised their salaries
srom $50 per month TO $50 per
month, the lowest salary pres
eribed by law.
Readers Of the Independent,
lust stop for momentand think
what absurditles these three COM
missioners indulge in, and yet
they draw pay from the county
for Just such work. A schoolboy
would use better Judgment.

The two sisters had reached the creek
lazy, shallow old stream that went winding
in and about the meadows as if it had moth
ing particular to do, and might as well take
it easy.
COLONIES OF tat old frogs lived on the banks,
and summed themselves on the mossgrown
logs that had fallen, nobody knew when, half
way into the creek, and crabs sidled along
at the sandy bottom.
The boat was very bad-looking affair, in
deed-rough, unpainted and very leaky, But
boat clubs and regattas were never heard of
at Moss Manor, and the sisters had made too
many voyages in the Mayfower, as Irix had
christened their antique craft to hesitate at
appearances. So Tessie took the rusty dipper
and went to work bailing out the six or more
the boat, while Trix, dropping her hatful of
cherries on the bank, bounded off to Nance
Jackson's cabin for the lines and bait that
youthful Pete had always ready for the little
missiles expeditions.
