Kensett, May 3d-Racing across

an hour in the dead of night, Con-
gresham G.. N Haugen rushed from
Northwood, twenty miles. to this
town early this morning with band
of fire fighters in automobiles across
prairies and over hills and arrived in
time to prevent the entire destruction
of the little city, which however
suffered loss of nearly $4,000
Awakened by the lurid glare in the
sky TO the south Of them shortly after
midnight Mr.. Haugen with other
citizens at Northwood prepared to
render theipneighbor assistance and
when a telephone message was sent to
them asking for ala twenty volunteers
prepared to leave at once.
Every machine in town was brought
into service and hose and other APP
paratus bundled in. Then began a
wild dash through the night. Con-
gresham Haugeu took the lead and
he set an almost impossible pace for
his followers. A clear sky afforded
some help but for the most part luck
and instinct piloted the speeding cars
up hill and down vale. The run to
this town was made in less than thirty
minutes.
Mr.. Haugen soon led in the work OF
saving the rest of the town from de-
struction. His bank situated on the
corner of the square was in danger
of being destroyed and with the helI
Of others he fought off the flaming
brands for hours. The building
caught several times but each time
the intrepid congressman succeeded il
subduing the blaze.
