Splendid Home Burns

The fine residence of e. ID. Brad
bury, cashier of the Kendrick State
bank, was entirely destroyed by fire
Sunday afternoon, entaillng d loss
to building and contents OF about
$4,000 with $500 insurance. The
fire started during a ball game when
practically the entire populace was
in another section of the town, and
when discovered the entire front of
the building was in flames. The
water pressure was very low and
all the available water was used in
saving the adjoining residences.
The cause of the fire is a mystery
and Mr.. Bradbury is unable to sug-
gest even a possible theory as to
how blaze could start in the front
OF the building. Mrs. Bradbury and
the children are visiting in Portland
and there had been no fire in the
front of the house for some time
No person had been about the house
for considerable period, Mr.. Brad
bury and his brother both being at
the ball game.
Splendid work was done by our
citizens, who after making the long
run from the ball grounds to the fire
pitched in, carried buckets, climbed
the roofs OF the adjoining buildings,
dragged hose and done effective work
keeping the fire from spreading.
AS to the residence itself and it's
contents it was useless to consider.
for the first alarm of fire showed the
entire interior of the residence a
mass OF flames to such an extent
that no entrance could be made at
ally point, even to attempt the saw
ing OF any OF the contents, and con-
sequently both E. d and j. w. Brad
bury have suffered the loss of MANY
an article and keepsake which aside
from the monetary loss cannot be
replaced by money.

Return from Canada

Il. A. Johnson and Jesse Reeves
returned Tuesday from a protrac ted
trip in the Fort George country and
their report is npt all one grand
paen. The fact that the entire
crowd which left here this summer
for that region failed to invest does
not speak particularly we'll for that
section OF Canada. Mr.. johnson
states that he Travelled to Fort
George and beyond, covered the
country thoroughly and outside of
locating several mineral claims. did
not feel like making any permanent
Investments at this time, although
he found land that was good as well
as land which was not good, and as
soon as a survey is made in there il
may be possible to make some good
locations.
Andy Hill, who started with the
crowd switched off at the line and is
now in the Calgary country.
