BIG FIRE At
RICHARDTON
Town Saved From Destruction
After Heroic Work

Richardton, N. D.. Aug. 2S.--Fire to-
tally destroyed the Western Supply
Co. store and stock with loss of
$4,000 yesterday and only by heroic
and unfiagging labor was the town
saved from destruction.
Firemen elk and O'Day were badly
burned and prominent citizens, not
regular firmen, are the heroes of the
town as they took the places vacated by
the regular men when the latter were
disabled and stayed at their posts I'M
til the town was saved.
There was a strong wind from the
northeast and the water supply
was very small and inadequate to the
needs of the situation. Several chemi-
cal tanks were used but were no
check to the blaze and for hours 1t
seemed that nothing but a miracle
would save the town.
The origin of the fire Is unknown.
There was $4,000 in insurance.

Washington, Aug. 23.-President
Taft has given directions for the be-
ginning of the preliminary work of
carrying out his plans Of economy in
the various departments of the gov
eminent under the authorization
given him in clause in the
sundry civil appropriation bill
passed at the recent session. In that
measure. the sum Of 100000 was
placed at his disposal for the pur-
pose.
The entire matter Is under the juris-
diction Of the president, and he has
directed Major Chas. De Lano Hine
an organization expert who has
done effective work in connection
with systematizing the administration
OF affairs of the Hartman lines, to
make a sort Of survey of the situation
in the government departments and
report to him the best way to pro-
coed with the undertaking.
Major Hine is in Washington and
has had a consultation with Acting
Attorney General Harr in regard to
the matter. After a talk with some
Of the other officials, chiefly those in
executive positions in the different
departments, he will submit to the
president a statement Of the best plan
to go about the work which Mr.. Taft
Is so anxious to have begun.
1t Is estimated that fully year
must elapse before the committee Of
experts can complete its new methods
and inaugurate the new methods
which it will recommend. 1t is prob
able that many of the changes which
are deemed advisable will require
congressional action. It is the pur-
pose of the president If possible, to
have some of these matters in shape
so that they may be authorized by
congress during the forthcoming short
session

Northern Pacific officials at st. Paul
have annulled all of its regular coast
trains on account of the forest fires
in Montana and Oregon, but in the in
stance of No. s a special train was
made up at Billings. Mont, to take it's
place. This train arrived in the city
about $3.50 this morning, or a few min
utes after the regular time of No. 6.
The train was filled with local travel
ers between Billings and this city.
many of whom were on their way to
eastern cities. Among the people on
the train were a number who were on
their way east from Yellowstone Park.
1t was reported that several refugees
from stricken Wallace were on the
train. but such was not the case. as
they would have had no means of
reaching Billings.
No. 4, which is due here this after
noon, has been abandoned and there
will be no train in from the west of
any kind until $50, when No. 8, which
is a local train from Glendive to ST.
Paul, will arrive. 1t is reported on
time. None of the passengers knew
much about the forest fires, as they
stopped for ten minutes in this city
this morning, but one or two had
stated that they had heard some ter
rible stories of suffering.
Women Save Elk City.
Spokane. Wash, Aug. 23-That Elk
City is still on the map and out of
reach Of the forest fires raging in the
surrounding country which Is ablaze
for miles, Is due solely to the i1eroism
of the women Of the town who, while
the male population was fighting the
advance of the conflagration, guarded
their homes and business houses, ex-
tinguishing a number of incipient
blazes started by brands carried from
the burning forests.
Many of them stayed on the roofs
of buildings all Saturday night and but
for bravery the town doubtless would
have been a mass of smouldering en-
bers. The town is out Of danger, but
conditions in the surrounding regions
are growing worse.
The wind has again risen to a gale
and the adjacent mountains are a
seething mass of flames. The entire Iron
mountain is again ablaze and the fire
on Squaw Creek is burning with renew

Milwaukee Trains OF.
1t is stated on reliable authority this
morning that all of the coast trains on
the Milwaukee west Of Missoula have
been abandoned for the time being, on
account of the forest fires. Agent
Degnan in conversation with The Fo-
rum, stated this afternoon that the
reason for the trains being abandoned
did not lie in the fact that the trains
could not get through, but the saving
Of lives In sutsf = ses was the irst OBJ
ject sought, by all railroads.
Sometimes the trains would be over
crowded with refugees and it was often
necessary to return a train after more
who were in peril. This tied up the
motive power of the railroads to such
an extent that the passenger trains
were unable to run.
Then, too" said he. at is sone-
times preferable for a train to be
abandoned rather than run a risk of
endangering the lives Of the Passen-
gers. It is always safer to abandon a
train and run no chances rather than
make an attempt land meet with
disaster"

knocked through the ropes in a fight With Kid" Kenneth at Coaling'o a few weeks ago. Will liams' skull was fractured by striking a plank. No legal penal ties fatalities in the ring.
 Physicians who attended Me Carthy agree that the fatal inj jury was due to the impact of skull against the floor when he was knocked out. They say the blow itself was not fatal, and experts blame an unpadded ring. The coroner's induest will be held May 5. In the meantime Moran and the others arrested in with the fight are out on ball. Moran is greatly disturbed by the tragedy.
 The affair has served to arouse church and ciyid associations to renewed opposition to the Jeffr- iesJohnson fight, and the present laws governing contests in this state. Appeals will be sent to the governor and district attorney of Alameda county, where the king fight is to occur, to prevent it if possible. An immediate effect was to cause Johnson to cancel his exhibition appearance tonight for which there had been an enormous seat sale.

WHY HE FAILED.

And the "revial" was a failure. The members of the church couldn't understand why. The imported evangelist was well konwn. He had met wi4h great success in other towns, and the people who attended the little bro~n church in the vale could believe that.their good neighbors were more ardoned than the people in other communities. Neither were they. The good people could not understand This was the reason why the revival was a failure: The first week, one night, a young mother took her year-and-a-half old babe to the services. She sat halfway back on the middle aisle. Just as the evangelist was closing his lmpassioned piea for all those who were unconvert9d to come forward, the little tot escaped it's mother and ren to the puldlt. The poor, embarrassed woman ! did not wish to go after it. The babe ran into the pulpit, grasped the pastor by the trousers leg, looked up and cooed Take baby" The people seemed to hold their breath as the evanelist turned quickly, and in a tone more harsh than moderate, said: T wish the mother of this child would cone and get it, and take it from the church or properly care for it. " The people were breathing again as the young mother, in embar- rassment, went to the front and rescued the babe. But no one went forward that night, nor any other night while that evan gelist was there. Do you need to be tod why?
