FIRE AT EAGLE MILL FRIDAY
MORNING
Loss Chiefly from Damage by
Water and Smoke. The
Automatic Sprinkler
System i'm Perfect
Working Order.

Those of our citizens who fingered
over late breakfasts Friday morning
last were startled to hear the fire
whistle sound its alarm and hurrying
out discovered the FIRE apparatus
speeding along Minnesota Street north
and turning toward the Eagle plant,
Within an hour the whistle blew again
indicating that the fire had been con-
quered and soon the Department was
on its way back to the station.
The fire started from q lighted pipe
in the coat pocket of one of the
employees in the Cereal Mill. The
coat bad been left hanging against the
wall on the second floor and no one
noticed that anything was amiss untia
the fire had eaten its way betweeH
inner and outer walls to the fourth
floor. At that time the heat from it
became intense enough to cause .
fusing in the sprinkler plant and the
automatic sprinkler at once poured
out q volume of water that gave
immediate control of the flames and ~
the same time turned an alarm into
the boiler room and from there the
city apparatus was called upon. 1t
was scarcely necessary to call them
out at all as the sprinkler proved
fully efficient and very little water Was
needed to put the fire entirely out.
Considerable damage to machinery
and mill products wss caused by
smoke and water but the loss from
fire was quite insigni6csnt. The claim
has not yet been fled with the In
suranee Company but We are
authorized to say that full damages
for loss by fire, water and smoke IS
we'll % loss Of time will DO paid By
the Insurance Company Immediately
upon the presentation Of the claim by
the Mill. .a.4.Ha b.

The second account OF the game
handed in was by "Bing" aud
naturally tells quite a different tale.
In our opinion, after reading the two
reports. this was some game. Some
thing on the order of a football
contest with few of the ear marks Of
a pugilistic encounter. However, the
sterner sex as rule has an over
supply of the various parts OF the
human anatomy and it seems to be
n necessity for them to get rid OF this
s,rplus by some sort of scrap and
for that reason we have no criticism
t. offer so long as the contestants
come ont of the melee without having
their beauty marred permanently.

such home coming at this time would
surely be pleasing feature in connec-

of others voice the same sentiment and

The first steps have been taken, the

which our citizens may justly feel
proud.

Depot Burned at Waseca.

Wasecs had fire Monday morning
which entirely destroyed the unfoh
depot of the M. & St L and c. N. w.
Roads. The fire started in the eating
house near the depot and as hard
wind was blowing it was impossible to
stop the flames before they had com.
pleted the entire destruction OF the
depot The Smiths who lived over
the eating house lost everything they
had and the loss on the depot amounts
to $4,000.

Hanska Will Vote on License
Question for Fifth Time.

Our neighboring village of Hansks
will be called upon once more to
decide the question of license or no
license ut their annual village election
which will be held Tuesday, March
18th. This will be the 9Th time that
the voters of that village will have an
opportunity to register their prefer
ence. ..,... 49,.
The petition for re submission,
sig ned by the following voters,
was filed with the village re-
corder within the statutory time: Ed.
E. Shelley, G. M. Strom, Ole J. Olsen,
Ole johnson, E.. J. Lindquist, VIM.
Bruce, George Jorgenson, liver O..
Haugep, b. c. Nundahl, Oscar Kjel-
shus. .... .....s.-... :s. ...-
The Hanska Herald Is Of the opinion
that the village will record the heavi-
est vote in its history and that 1t will
be overwhelmingly in favor OF no
license. The vets contend that hereto.
fore the law was not complied with In
the preparation of the ballots, be-
cause OF the use of separate ballots.
They maintaia that only one ballot
should be used and they will insist
that the law in this particular be lived
up to. Whether they will reap any
adva ntage1 it this is done. will, OF
course, not be known until the ballots
have been counted.

co. "A" VERSUS HIGH SCHOOL
Fastest Game Of the Season.

In . fast and exceedingly rough
game the High School Quint met
defeat at the hands of the heavy Co.
"a" aggregation Friday night. The
High School was outweighed many
pounds to the man and a. result the
game Was very rough. The High
School started the unessiness in
which the Co. "a" Center, "Jingo."
was handled rather roughly. Capt.
Amsnn of the Company Immediately
put out lingo and substituted Pfeiffer.
The work of Buenger, Antony and
Groebner was not up to standard for
being clean. PfeifIer played fair
game and did not show the rough
tactics that his team mates did.
Amann played little better than
usual. Score at the end Of the first
half was to 8 in favor of Co. ZAP.
The work of the high School team
was good considering that they ran
up against heavier and more ex'
perienced opponents and the Co.
team found out that the High School
could play exceedingly rough when
forced to it. Moriarty, Helm, Cordes
and Amsnn did the scoring for the
High School, Moriarty leading with
four field goals, Helm two, and Cordes
and Amsnn one apiece. The High
School boys did not play their usual
guarding game and as . result the
Company team scored frequently.
Capt. Groebner was good in team
work but did not do 40 we'll as usual
in guarding. McHale who refereed
the game failed to see few of the
fouls made on both sides. Koehler
umpired.
The students of the High School
showed amazing spirit aud enthusiasm
by roofing for the Company team.
Buenger was hurt and thru this the
Company boys got their second wind
and shot three goals which won the
game. Time of halves, 20 min. Score

BASKET BALL NEWS.

=
The basket ball game of last Friday
night must have been rather more
exciting than these games usually are
for early Saturday morning within q
few minutes of each other we received
the promise of writeup of the game
from each of the opposing teams and
because they are both we'll told we
have decided to give space to the two
accounts. It is good thing always to
have both sides Of story and there
is no doubt in our minds that basket
ball fans among our readers will
enjoy both sides Of this story. The
first write-up was handed in by MUTT
