Hope Has Blaze

Tuesday morning about ZOO.
o'clock fire broke out in the build
ing occupied by Otto Young
berg's tailor shop. The cause of
the fire was vaporized gasoline.
While the tailor was cleaning up
the shop he placed a wash pan of
water upon the gasoline stove to
warm. He had taken the water
out of a pail in the back shed
where they kept some soft water.
The day before they had used
gasoline in cleaning suits and had
thrown the gasoline into the pail.
The water soon began to boil and
then the tailor removed from the
pan from the fire while yet in his
hands the stuff burst into flame
and enveloped his head. He.
dropped the pan and ran out of
the room. When he reached the
door the room he had just left
was a roaring mass of flames and
smoke. He was somewhat singed
and badly frightend, but other
wise uninjured. He at once gave
the alarm and the fiIemen quick
ly responded and soon we're in
fighting trim. The hook and lad
der started salvage operations
and formed bucket brigade and
soon had the fire under control
and then it took but a moment to
put it out entirely when the hose
began to play. It is thought the
building was damaged about 500
and the damage to the tailor shop
$400. There were several suits
burned and a good deal of dam
age done otherwise. The efici-
ent work of the fire department
is to be commended as they saved
the town from a bad fire.

even in a double header with
Northwood nthe latters grounds
Tuesday. The first game went
to Northwood after a ten inning
contest by a score of 8 to 2. The
game was fast and snappy from
start to finish. The locals play
ing an up hill game after a bad
start in the first, but after set
thing down outplayed Northwood
at all stages of the game. Men
dying on bases, when a hit would
have meant runs. Hoar was on
the slab for Hope and pitched a
strong game, striking out II men
and allowing but 4 hits.
Brekke tossed them up for
Northwood and was no great puz-
zle to the boys, but Northwood
was playing with horseshoes
around their necks.
HOW THE RUNS WE'RE MADE.
Northwood: 1st inning, Guam
me reached first on an error,
took second on J. Bergs sacrifice
and went to Sd when BrekKe
singled. Brekke took I'd on first
ball pitched. With men on End
and Sd the infield moved in close
and M. Berg dropped one just
over the infeld, scoring Quamme
and Brekke.
10th inning, Kaasa opened the
inning with a two Dagger, took
3rd on an error and scored on
Quamme's hit.
Hope: 3rd inning, Rust singled
and was forced to third by a base
on balls anda dead ball, scored
whenLaw singled.
9TH inning, Mclean got LIST on
on a dead ball took second when
Rust got a life at first and scored
when J. Berg juggled a hot one.
The second game was an easy
victory for Hope by a score of 6
to three. The scores rolled in sc
fast after the 3rd inning that ou1
score keeper could keep no track
of how they we're made. Spider
Hopes new pitcher, made his
first appearance and showed the
