alarm. The story of the first fire was
rehearsed in the second. The whole
idea was to confine the fire instead of
putting it out. Bucket brigades work

later in the day succumbed to the

ALARM SHOTS AGAIN.
No one could conceive of another
blaze starting in the vicinity after the
first two fires had eaten themselves
out. but the unexpected happened at

the firing Of pistol shots. and another

made u speech of several minutes
duration.

effort was made to save the life OF

Mr.. Simpson on his arrival here yes-
teruay was the appalling nature Of the
freight rates. When he went to pay
the freight charges on his car load
of goods. he found that the freight
bill taxed against him for the trans
portation of the car from North Da-
kota to Grand Junction was in round
numbers $500. To say that he suf-
fered a shock is expressing 1t mildly.
1t would have shocked anybody. Mr..
Simpson naturally believes that he
is being overcharged on that car of
personal property and has entered a
protest. and will make every effort
to get the charges cut down.

ditch. He had been without money
for seven months. and his wife, whu
has rich relatives in st. Louis. and
IA position here, furnished him with

voted wife and had giveL her hus-
