Burn-Narrow Escape
of Dale Home

Shortly after twelve O'Clock today
bothe fire companies were called out to
answer an alarm turned in from the
McNeal residence in West Guthrie.
Before the department could arrive at
the scene of the confiagration the high
wind had carried the burning timbers
and straw into Judge Dale's yard and
the barn there became ignited. The
high wind made it almost impossible
to extingush the flames and the fire.
man found it hard task to keep the
house from becoming ignited. The ex-
terror OF Judge Dale's residence was
scorched in many places and only the
almost superhuman Efforts of the fire
men saved the handsome home from
destruction. At two o'clock the barns
were still burning fercely, but it was
thought that the flames were under
control, and that the fire could be pre-
vented from spreading to enighboring
structures.
Two horses and COW we're burned
to death in the McNeal barn. In both
instances quantity Of grain and the
drivings vehicles were burned. The
loss Is largely covered by insurance.

STATEHOOD AND rAg HOUSE.

The ST. Louis Republic says:
Members OF the delegation from the
Business Mems league who went TO
Washington to boom statehood for the
twin territories have good cause TO feel
encouraged by the outlook. The as
surances given by Senator Foraker
that he viii not resort 70 fllbustering
to delay the vote make It altogether
probable that the statehood bill, with
or without the Arizona ana New Mex
leo rider, will pass the Senate early in
March.
Speaker Cannon will not favor the
passage Of the bill if It comes back TO
tht House with the Foraker amend
ment permitting Arizona to decide by
separate vote whether she viii accept
joint statehood with New Mexico. And
It seems likely that the bill win go
back 70 the House in this shape The
ever cautious and non-committal Sen
ator Ailison's guarded intimation Of a
belief that the Senate viii adopt the
Foraker amendment is. at least, sig
nificBnt
But the speaker, though powerful
under all circumstances. is not omni.
potent even under the Reed rules.
The fitness Of the twin territories for
statehood IS so we'll known and their
case is so well made out that the
House can net wen refuse to admit
them under whatever conditions the
Senate insists upon. II thS speaker
does not like the bin as the Senate
passes il. he win probably yield or be
oyerruled.
