HISTORIC BUILDING BURNED.
Old Beaver City Court House Was
Built Of White Pine Lumber.

Among the buildings burned in the
fire at Beaver City last week was the
old court house, a two-story wooden
structure, and one of the most his
toric in the state. 1t was built Oi
white pine, frcighted from Dodge
City, 100 miles distance, by DR.. o. G..
Chase, long before the Territory Of
oklahoma was opened to settlement
and in the days when No Mans land
was struggling to he recognized as
the Territory Of Cimarron. Later
1T was used as the capital building OF
the TERRITORY" When Beaver coun-
ty built its new court huose, the old
structure was abandoned to CONNER
cial uses. Another building destroy
ed by the fire was the county jail,
situated Immediately behind the old
court house. The jail was without
prisoners, as it had been Ior more
than six months. Fred Tracy OF
Beaver, here few DAYS age, said the
town has neither policeman nor con
stable. The sheriff and two deputies
are the only guardians of the peact
there. II is the rarest thing, Mrs
Tracy said, for people to lock this
doors OF their homes j Beaver.
