Another Addition
10 Minot

A real estate deal of consid erable
magnitude was consummated re,ari.
ly, whereby The Blaisdell-Bird Com
pany of this city acquired the Gustav
Anderson homestead. This is valu-
able and beautiful property, of which
80 acres are perfectly level, lying in
the valley between the Harrison
school and Garden Valley and Gar
den Home Addition, commanding a
full view Of the city. It Is the Com
pany's intention to at once plat the
valley property as The Blaisdell.
Bird Addition, and put the lots on
the market at very low figure and
on such easy terms that rapid sale
may be confidently predicted Many
of the shrewdest real estate men
have had their eyes on this property
for some time, it having been tied
up by probate proceedings and The
lBlaisdell-Bird Company is to be con-
graduated upon its acquisition, which
involved cash consideration OF
$1,000. Further particulars as to lots,

Several Bad
Prairie Fires

Several disastrous prairie fires
were reported to have taken place
during the heavy wind of last Mon
day.
The prairie is as dry as finder, and
all that is needed to start a costly
blaze, is a spark
While burning a fire break on his
farm sixteen miles south of Minot
Monday, John Wynn started fire
that swept more than a thousand
acres. He lost five big stacks Of hay
and the Carpenter brothers lost two
stacks. A large crowd got out and
fought the fire and controlled it be-
fore i. swept over very great area.
"A terrific prairie fire occurred in
the country, starting from point
six miles east of Chilcot, in the
southwestern part of Mountrail coun-
ty, and extending rs miles east to
the vicinity of Plaza. A strip of
nearly eight miles wide was burned
over. A farmer named Johnson lost
his machinery, barns, Igranary and
grain, in fact everything but his
house. Many shacks were destroyed.
No fatalities re- ported.
A third fire ragged south of Ken
mare, starting in the Lostwood Lake
country and burning, east as far as
Tagus. As many as fifty shacks
were burned. Altho the fire did not
come within fften miles Of Kenmare,
the town was so dark all day long
from the smoke, that it was neces-
sary to burn lights part of the
time. 1t is reported that farmer
named Van Borst set his straw pile
on fire, and neignpor fearing that
fire was going to spread, started
back fire, which spread to i'm
mense proportions. The fire burned
over strip of country rs miles long
Hans Olson who lives eighteen miles
south of Kenmare lost five horses in
the fire. Ed. Miner had runaway
while fighting fire. He was out with
five horses blowing breaks, and
leaving the horses for time tt
hight the fire with a wet sack, the
heat grew so intense that the horses
struck out over the prairie with thu
plow dangling after them, and tore
|
things up in general.
A fourth fire ragged in the vicinity
Of Burlington. A large number
fought the flames and kept the FIRE
within reasonable hounds, not {
great deal of damage being done.
