A. N. Fountain yesterday re :
ceived a letter from his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Harwood Demmon,
from Sand Point, Idaho, in
which she stated that the town
had been saved from the bad
fire that had been raging in
that vicinity for sometime. The
fire got within a half a mile of
the town and had the wind not
changed when it did, the place
would have been destroyed. AS
it was the citizens had a bad
scare and one they will not for
get. Beside Mr.. and Mrs. Dem
mon there are other Mo Valley
people living there, namely Mr..
and Mrs. Oscar Frazier and
Orvilie Frazier.
After the newspaper report
that the town was in serious
danger, relatives of these peo-
pie living in the Valley were
considerably worried and this is
the first information received.

After many failures he gave up his
intention and began to march on for

far !: country shoemaker came up to
Cromwell and asked him whether hn
would reward him il he would tell him
how to ge. the castle into his possess

Cromwell, very glad of this offer,
consented. Then this old shoemaker,
glad to get some money, as no doubt
he was rather poor, told him that there
was Il pipe through which they got
their water and that if he were to cut
the pipe the castle would surrender.
Cromwell said, 81 thank you for tho
information You have given me, but as
you have turned traitor to your coun-
