Dodge
Serious Fire AYerted.

BY quick and efficient work, the
fire department narrowly averted a
serious fire Tu y night about 1890
O'clock. A pile of empty boxes
thrown up against the warehouse in
which Leroy Farmer stores his sur
plus supply of drugs, was touched off
by some one viciously inclined. The
blaze was eating its way to the walls
of the warehouse when it twas oppor-
tunely discovered. The fremen re-
sponded to the alarm Immediately
and succeeded in extinguishing the
flames before they reached the dan
ger point. The streets we're almost
deserted and it was indeed fortunate
that the fire was discovered before it
had done the work the incendiaries
intended it to do.

New York, according to the latest
figures Of the health department. 1t
amounts to more than thirty per l,00C

on the number of families for each 1OC
population here would mean that a
baby is born ono a year in every
other family in the borough. There
were J, $50 births last week-one every

BOTH CLAIM MONTANA.
Chairmen of State Committees Give
Final Election Estimates.

HELENA, Nov. 2.-On the national
ticket, while the managers OF both
parties claim the state, the democrats
by 5000 and the republicans by 1000,
the result is in doubt, depending
largely upon the votes of the 10, 200
new voters. 1t is generally conceded
that Pray, republican candidate for
congress, will carry the state by 5000
and that Donlan, republican, will be
elected governor by about same vote.
Chairman Lanstrum, of the republic
can state committe AXE this an
n~Ouncement:
The electoral vote of Montana will
be cast for Taft and Sherman. and we
place the plurality for them at not less
than 1000 in this state. Donlan. for
governor, will carry the state by at
least 5000 plurality, and a simila ar
vote will be cast for Charles y. Pray
for reelection to congress. We claim
the election of the republican state
ticket by a plurality of from 1000 to
5000, and the mex legislature;will be
republican.
Chairman w. B. George, of the
democratic state committee says:
Montana will give Bryan a popular
majority of at least 10000. Norris
will be elected governor by a.majority
of at least 1000, and the other state
candidates on the democratic tickle,
will be elected by a majority very
close to that given the governor. The
republican majorities of the past will
be greatly reduced in almost every
section of the state.
This is particularly true, l may say
of the counties in eastern Montana,
Republican majorities of the past il
those counties will be easily cut in two
if they do not fall off eve more thar

GARY DOES FAIRLY WELL
Only Three Dealers Are
Furnishing Impure
Milk to People.

The fact has been established that
with three exceptions the people of
Gary are getting pure. rich milk. This
is understood to be the result of the
crusade which was begun in Gary sew
eral months ago.
Some time ago DR.. T.. Templin, sec
rotary of the Goard board of health,
sent to the state board of health at
indianapolis twenty-six samples of
milk which had been collected from the
product of several Gary dealers.
Yesterday the report of the state
board of health was received and while
two samples were found to be SKINNED
milk and one was watered. the other
twenty-three were rich in fats.
While the law requires that all milk
shall contain at least per cent of
fats, the samples sent to indianapolis
were found to contain from ~ per
cent to per cent of fats.
The three men whose milk was found
deficient will be notified and if they
do not be more careful in the future
they are likely to be arrested and prose-
cuted.
DR.. Templin expects to have milk
testing apparatus of his own in Gary
in short time and he will then be
able to tell what kind of milk the peo-
pie of Gary are getting whenever he
suspects that it is not as rich as it
should be.
One of the encouraging facts is that
there was no formaldehyde in the milk
which was examined this time. This
is an indication that there has been q
change of conscience on the part of the
some of the dealers in milk which will
be of great benefit to the public

BELIEVE GUINNESS
WOMAN IS DEAD
Lap orte Seems to be Salts
fed That Ogress was
Burned.
DENTIST NORTON QUITE SURE
Lamphere Proves Nervous When
Told That Teeth of Woman
Are Found.

There is now practically no question
that Mrs. Belle Guinness of Laporte
is dead. The sluicing operations in the
ruins of her burned home have revealed
her long sought teeth and with the
exception of the attorney for Lamphere
the impression is general that the arch
muderess died in the fire.
The positive identification by Dentist
=. P. Norton of the dental work he did
in Mrs. Guinness mouth and the fact
that the burned stump of a natural
tooth still adhers to the bridgework in
the possession of Sheriff Shutter have
nonplused those advocating the theory
that Mrs. Guinness is alive.
Ray Lamphere, accused Of burning
the Guinness house tonight became con-
fused and nervous when told the teeth
had been found. Heretofore he has as
serted to the authorities that Mrs. Gum
ness must have gotten away. Lam
phere paced up and down in the cor
ridor before his cell. his actions arous-
/ ing hope that he might be on the eve
of an open confession.
The discovery of the teeth is graft
flying to relatives of men murdered at
the Guinness farm. inasmuch as it
clears the way to suits against the
estate.
Identification of Teeth Easy.
The bridgework found in the sluicing
operations at the farm is from both the
upper and the lower jaw. That of the
upper jaw probably was made by some
Chicago dentist, but the work on the
lower jaw was done by Dentist Norton,
who recognizes it by reason of work
manship.
The work on the lower jaws was
described by the dentist technically as
a lower anterior bridge with six dunn
mics and two crowns for the two re-
naming teeth, swung from the lower
lcuspids." The work on the upper jaw
was described as "a bridge consisting
of six teeth swung from two laterals
and the left bicuspid, consisting OF
three gold crowns and three proclaim
dummies, gold backed"
Owing to the high degree of heat re-
quired to melt porcelain, platinum, and
gold alloy the teeth were in an easil.
recognizable condition, exactly as Den.
fist Norton had described about ter
days ago.
Following the discovery of the teeth
Prosecutor R. N Smith signified hi:
readiness to try Ray Lamphere on the
| charge of burning the Guinness house
Starting next week.
