was difficult to fight the fire in this
section owing to its division into small
rooms with thin board partitions which
furnished fuel to carry the FIRE along.
There was tin roof over the building
and fire crept along beneath unchecked

huge strips OF the tin and get the noz-

BY twelve o'clock the united efforts
of the companies had secured control OF
the fire, though it required three hours

they worked out, had taken their tools
out OF the mine, the track had been
torn up and Mr.. Scheetz went back
into the room to knock out couple
of posts. His son and two track layers
cautioned him not to go back into
the room, as 1t was dangerous to go
In, and 1t was not necessary for him
to go, but he laughed at the others and
went In and unexpectedly, before he
had knocked out any Of the posts, the
top coal fell on him crushing his life
out. 1t took over an hour to get the
body Of Mr.. Scheetz from under the
coal and rock, which was about i've
feet deep. Deceased resided near

ment was made In Beulah cemetery

For the past two days eastern
Montana and western North Da-
kota have been visited with a
drenching rain, which is worth
many thousands of dollars to the
agricultural and live stock inter-
ests. Owing to the unusual light
precipitation Of snow during the
winter moisture has been badly
needed to start the grass and to
aid the late sown grain. Accord
ing to reports from state papers
this soaking rain has peen in gen
eral throughout Montana and i
likely to continue for at least an
othes day. The weather man.
could not have ordered a more
pleasant rain nor at a more op-
perfume time, consequently the
farmers and stockmen are all
wearing a broad smile.
