BLAZE IS ALMOST
LOST TO HISTORY
POIicemen's Dispute Over Report
Nearly Leaves Unoffending
Fire UnrecOrded

This item is especially for the infor-
nation of the chief of police. Without
its enlightening influence Chief Martin
might not learn that yesterday after
noon there was fire at New Montgom-
cry and Minna streets.
1t wasn't much of fire as things go,
but it was enough to battle the literary
talent of two energetic and husky
policemen. They We're Policemen Win

Brown; lit was a New Montgomery
street fire, it was on your beat"
Come off" returned WinZler; lit

that Minna street door. Anyway, you
saw it first"
Go long with youse," shouted
Brown. 4 won't write any report on
it. What dye think L ana literary
hack?"
And thus, with high words, the two
patrolmen parted. leaving the fire to be

happened on the scene. He took pity
on the blaze and decided to give it a
place in history.
At that it wasn't much of a blaze.
Some rubbish caught fire in the ware
rooms of Ulman, Seeligsohn & Brown
on the top floor of the building at the
southeast corner of New Montgomery
and Minna streets and an alarm was
turned in. There were a bunch of
pretty stenographers waiting to be
carried down the fire escape by in
trepid fremen, but the blaze was even
too short lived to offer an excuse for
that pleasant performance.

VIII McCuais for Mayor of Bemidii


The Bemidji Pioneer of recent date
contains an excellent halftone cut of
William McCuaig, former we'll
known resident of Princeton. It is
thought that all factions can unite on
Mr.. McCuaig and that he will be
chosen mayor of the city without
opposition. The Pioneer says:
William McCuaig has been a resi-
dent of Bemidji during the past ten
years. served as member of the
village council for two terms, prior to
the adoption of the city charter, but
would not again be candidate for q
member of the council.
"Mr. McCuaig has always been
prominent in matters of public interest
in the city, and being heavy tax
payer and prominent business man
he would, if elected, undoubtedly give
the city splendid business admins
tration. ~.
: It is hoped that the agreement to
unanimously support Mr.. McCuaig
will be adhered to, and that the torrid
municipal fights of previous years
will not be repeated in the coming
city election

A Glorious Time.

There was noise enough around
town last Friday evening to justify
most anyone in thinking that either
an Indian war dance was in operation
or else that our high school football
team had won: victory and was
being given a wild reception on the
campus. but it was neither of these,
for as everyone knows, there are no
more war dances and the snow is too
deep for football. It was merely a
party of real live high school en-
thusiasts out for good time. Invi-,
tations we're scattered around one day
last week by Lisle Jesmer and Jess
Angstman to about forty-fve of their
high school friends and teachers,
summoning them to ;. assemble, at We
school house on Friday evening at 8.
OF the clock. Forty Of them respond
ed and they we're loaded onto A. M.
Davis sled and the fun began.
Bushels of fun vas had riding around
town until about 10 O'Clock, when the
driver halted at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sidney Jesmer and there the fun
continued until O'Clock Saturday
morning. Games we're played and at
midnight most delightful supper was
served. The supper was prepared by
Mrs. Jesmer, and was served by
Lester Jesmer and Howard Reichard,
BACKED up as negroes. A jollier
crowd or a better time would be diff
cult to even imagine. Such parties
are very much appreciated by the
participants and words cannot ex-
press the appreciation of the efforts
of those who aided in arranging such
delightful program. Many thanks
are extended to Mr.. and Mrs. Jesmer
for the hospitality shown by them.

seasoned with wit and humor; by
times he was facetious, again he was
pathetic, but all the time highly in

man and woman,'' and repeatedly
asserted that they were the salt of
the earth.

gentleman's delightful talk the audi

Mr.. Gratz held a reception both be-
fore and after the lecture, shook
hands with and greeted personally
almost every one in the audience and,
at is needless to add that, each and all
were delighted to meet and greet him.
Mr.. Gratz was the guest of Mr.. and

stay in town. He has promised to
make his Princeton friends visit of
