Owner Of Auto Touched Match In
Shed Filled With Gasoline
Had Narrow Escape,

Stanley Promoter: A fire alarm was
turned in about $3.50 o'clock last FRI
day evening, the fire being located in
DIR. Dunn's barn and automobile shed
having started from an explosion.
DR.. Dunn had returned from pro-
fessional visit and had run the auto
mobile into the shed as was his GUS
TOM After he had shut off the en-
CINE and lights, he struck a
match and the explosion followed
the carburator had evidently been
leaking, although DIR. Dunn was un-
aware of the fact aad the lighted
match caused the explosion and the
automobile was at once developed in
flames. DR.. Dunn's clothing also
caught fire, and only his presence Of
mind in extinguishing the flames
saved his life.
Water from the cistern was thrown
upon the sides Of the house to keeI
it from catching fire. Had the WIND
been blowing from the east 1t woult
have been impossible to keep tht
house from burning also. The barn
and automobile were partly covered
by insurance.

that La Moure county has passed the

French planted the first field of grain
in La Moure county in 1882, but the
profits derived Lherefrom were very
slight. La Moure county was then
far from civilization, and lumber was
very scarce. The erection of a gran

matter, but he finally succeeded in

N. D. MAY GET A
new BATTALION
WAR SECRETARY WELL PLEASED
WITH GUARDS AND MAY
ADD MORE COMPANIES.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 2.-oficials
ington, d. c., are so well pleased with
the high standard. of efficiency that
mas been attained by the first regi-
ment of the North Dakota national
guard that there is a strong probable
ity of the mastering In of a new bat
allion,if not a new regiment. A state
ment to that effect was made by Adj.
Gen. A.. p. Peake OF the North Dakota
guard, who arrived in Grand Forks
Tuesday evening to attend the KEN
temple ceremonial.
81 recently received a letter from
the secretary Of war; said General
Peake, ain which he wrote of the state
guard In the very highest terms of
praise, adding that he would like
very much to see more of the same
kind of companies as are in this state.
1t depends entirely upon the secretary
of war whether we snail have a new
battalion or not, as the funds avail
able for such an organization are en-
| tirely under his direction
"It would cost a total of $4,000 tc
equip a battalion, and this amount
would have to be set aside for that
purpose by the department of wal
| secretary before it could be secured
| We are working on that proposition
and are hopeful of meeting with sue
cess.
Grand Forks will not be able tc
nave a militia company until such 9
/ time as a new battalion is mustered
in or one of the present companies
is mustered out, but the latter seems
very improbable as the organizations
are all doing splendid work this year
and are being maintained at a better
! standard than ever before"
