the flames. The buildings consisted
OF the house and barn under the
same roof and some smaller buildings
and practically nothing was saved.
1t seems that Mrs. Penner was at
home alone and was engaged in boil
ing some linseed oil preparatory to
oiling the floors and had stepped out
side for a few moments when the oil
boiled over on the stove and when
she returned the inside of the living
rooms were a mass of flames. The
baby was asleep in a buggy in one of
the rooms, and the mother made des-
perate effrOts to rescue the child. but
was driven back by the flames at ev-
cry attempt and there was nothing
to do but stand helpless while the
flames did their awful work
The building was one TO those COM
bination house and barn affairs so
commonly built by the Mennonites
who first settled in the western part
of the county, which custom they
brought with them from the old cOun-
try. The building was erected about
ten years ago and was of good size.

rain STORM MAKES
Farmers OPTIMISTIC
HEAVY PRECIPITATION ON LAST
SATURDAY MORNING AND ALSO
IN AFTERNOON.

Early Saturday morning and dur
ing the afternoon of the same day
there was very heavy rainfall in
this city and vicinity, which has added
JOY OF the hearts of the farmers of
this section of the state.
The rain came as a local shower and
was not general, although there were
several parts of the county in which
splendid showers were received.
Carson especially was said to have
had a good rain. During the after
noon there was severe electrical
storm for a few moments, followed
by heavy hail. 1t has not been as
certained if there was any damage
dane by the latter
Farmers generally are feeling very
optimistic at the present time over
the prospects for the harvest.

favorable opinion of Los Angeles from
the announcements that it's merchants
published daily.
Another instance is i'm the case
of Minneapolis passing st. Paul as
a retail and jobbing center, from no
other reason than the merchants of
Minneapolis supported their daily pa
pers so much more generally than did
the St. Paul merchants support their
papers, that St. Paul merchants soon
found their residents going t. Min.
neapolis to trade and the Minneapolis
papers filled with the advertising of
its merchants Offering their induce.
ments and invitations to the people
of the northwest changed these peor
pie from their former habit of trad
ing in St. Paul so that even if they
did stop in St. Paul it was in Minnea-
polls that they did their trading.
One of the first things that a merch
ant or manufacturer does in look
ing up town in which to locate, or
capitalist looking up city 20 make
investments, is to examine the COL
umns of the daily paper of that town
as it lis the columns of the paper that
tells more than anything else whether
town is alive and whether it's bust
ness men are progressive and enter
prising, and it is not only the amount
of space that the merchants occupy
in the paper but what they have to
say and how they say it in the space.
1t portrays them either as modern
or antiquated individuals and whether
they are of a character to make for
a live or Gead town.
am writing this because l have
had occasion of late to call attention
to some who might be interested in
it's future development and l feel
the necessity of having Bismarck's
daily paper bespeak my enthusiasm
and my belief in it's future.
Yours truly

Cured at T.. o. Thompson's farm six
miles northwest of Leonard. A horse
was being unhitched from the buggy

the buggy went along also, fright ened

ing one of the shafts which pene-
trated the childs leg below the knee,
cutting a deep cash that required

MANDAN GRAYS PLAY TOO FAST
A GAME FOR THE VISITING
TEAM.

Sunday afternoon before large
crowd of enthusiastic spectators the
Grays defeated the Glen Ullin base
ball team in one of the hottest con-
tested games of the year. The Man.
dan team played good ball but it was
only with a great deal of hard work
that it succeeded in winning out. Glen
Ullin played hard and fast game
and kept the result in doubt until the
last inning was played.
Nelson pitched splendid ball and
shared pitching honors with Bah
cock. The final score was 4 to 2 in
favor of Mandan, who have lost only
one game out of the seven league
games that have been played so far
this season.
Mandan fans are more than proud
of their record breaking team which
they state is the best team that has
ever been assembled in the city.
