The most destructive Of the many
forest fires was that which embraced
Chisholm in it's fierce grip and COM
pletely destroyed it. For three days
the dry woods had been on fire west
and north of town and small bush
fires were reported to the eastward.
Gradually these closed in upon the
doomed town but no danger was felt
by the citizens as town was protected
on the east by Longyear lake a small
body of water and there are many
mining locations to the west in which
district the citizens believed advanc-
ing flames could be stopped. H..

VERDICT UPHELD.
A Sprituaist Is Mentally Incompetent
Is Michigan Decision.

Cassopolis, Mich, July 23-That a
spiritualst is mentally incompetent IS
the holding of the supreme court in q
decision upholding the verdict of C1Ss
county jury which decided that John
+. Golf was unbalanced mentally on
the subject Of spiritualism, and there
fore was incompetent when he made
his will disinhcriting his only son, Les
lie. in favor of SpiritualiSt associations.
The estate is valued at $4,000. Mrs.
Golf died when Leslie was born. The
son is now more than GO years old. tic
has been q resident Of oklahoma for
a number Of years, and is d Wcll-to-do
business man.
1t was alleged that the old man was
influenced by the members of tn" spir-
itualist cult to such an extent that he
was made to believe that his son was
not in fact his legitimate heir, and it
is upon this SuppoSition that the old
man is believed to have acted when
he made a will in favor of the asSoCia-
ton of spiritualists and disinherltcd
the son.
The estate was to have been used in
the advancement Of spirituali5m
throughout the world When the son
announced that he would mako a fight
for the money left by his father the
National Association of Spiritualist;
employed lawyers and defended the
action.
