HAS BAD FIRE

Alice, N. D., Aug. 13.-The village of
Alice was visited by a disastrous fire
and whole BLOCK in the business sec.
ton was burned to the ground. The
fire started shortly after two o'clock
in the morning and had gained con-
siderable Roadway before it was dis
covered. The fire was first discover.
ed on Front street and consumed the
property of John Wellentin, Gust. A.
kapann, L. H. Frost property, which
DR.. st. Clair occupied and the black,
smith shop. There was little insur-
ance. The heaviest losers were John
Wellentin, Gust. Kapann and DR.. St.
Clair. Mr.. and Mrs. St. Clair and a
narrow escape in getting out of the
burning flames, also G.. A. Kapann had
narrow escape. All Kapann saved
was two suits of clothes and his books.
. The fire protection of Alice is limit
ed, and as luck would have it there
happened to be couple of tanks of
water at hand and Liveryman Robert
Wadeson and Anton Hayertz hauled
them where they could be used in
fighting the fire.
The large trees on the west side of
town acted as windbreak and the
fire was finally controlled.

Toxic, Aug. 13.-The waters of the
River Sumida are still rising and the
HOMO and FukadaWa, wards of the
Toxic, are nearly completely sub
merged. Tens of thousands of persons
are homeless and starving. One of the
three more important entertainments
guarding Toxic has broken. Should
the second and third dykes break half
the capital would be submerged.
The threatened entertainments are
being now guarded by troops. At 6
o'clock this evening the steady rise
of the water was still apparent. Ow-
ing to the inundation of the buildings
the Fukagawa gas and electric lights
are failing.
Thousands of homeless persons are
being sheltered in the temples and
school houses, at which relief stations
the most deplorable sights are wit
messed. The victims of the food are
wholly dependent upon public relief.
Thousands more have been unable to
find shelter owing to the insufficiency
of boats to convey them to places of
safety, and they are exposed to the
rain and hunger. Every available boat
is being employed in the work of res
cue and to convey food where it is
most needed.
The question Of feeding the stricken
people is causing apprehension.
The vegetable and fish supplies are
failing and the stock of biscuits al
ready is nearly exhausted. There is
no fear, however for the supply OF
rice. The water of the Sumida river
is almost washing the bottoms of the
bridges. The climax of the inunda-
ton is expected tonight.
The mountain flood in the neighbor-
hood of Karnizawa has destroyed the
Mikasa hotel. Many foreigners were
stopping there but fortunately no fat
alities have been reported so far.

PICKS N. D. GIRL
FROM THOUSANDS

Groveland, Mass, Aug. 13.-Marcus
Bunce, whose ad several weeks ago
for a wife who might be suffragette,
and which stated that he would do
his own cooking, printed in neWspa-
pers all over the land, brought him
5000 amorous letters, has selected his
girl. OF the 5000 odd replies 80 per
cent of them came from cities and
towns near Groveland, but Bunce de-
cided upon a girl in far away North
Dakota, a fair resident of the little
farming town of Ryder. He said in
an interview before leaving for Ryder:
"The girl have selected runs 200.
acre farm. She is a. farmer like my
self. feel that we are mated. l
have never seen her and she may not
like me, so am not going to give out
her name, but she lives at Ryder
N. D."
Ryder is a lonely town and Bunce
is going to take the 5000 love letters
that have been flooding the Grove
land postoffice for fonths with him to
read, he says, during the long dreary
winter nights.
From Minneapolis he received sew
eral letters, some of which openly
proposed marriage.
The majority of the writer's were
sensible girls who were attracted by
his unique ad, which was cleverly
worded. He received hundreds of
girls pictures. The letters came from
nearly every state in the Union, from
Canada and countries abroad.
