FOUGHT FIRE
People Living Near Medora Had An
Exciting Time VIII Flames.

Medora. n. D., Sep. 26.-Fire start
ed in the wood and ice house OF the
John Britt place a mile south Of Me-
dora and was not discovered until the
whole building was burning freely.
Mrs. Britt had built a fire Of cedar
wood in the cook stove for the prepar-
alton of dinner: Don she saw that
the building, which is eight feet from
the house. built Of ties and about is
by so feet. a af1re. She and Conrad
Zieger did what they could to save
the main house. and began carrying
the furniture out.
Mr.. Britt was just starting home
when he saw the smoke; others soon
saw the same sign and it was but a
few minutes when there was help at
the scene with fire eXtinguishers and
other apparatus for the control Of it.
With great effort. handicapped by the
lack of water, the fire was kept from
the main house. Ropes were thrown
over the upright stockades of the
burning building and they dragged 1t
away.
The building was used as an ice and
coal house. In it were several tons Of
coal and some fax straw that had
been used in packing ice. 1t is
thought that a spark from the Chin
ney ignited the straw. Beyond a
slight scorching and some broken win
dows, there was no damage to the
residence.

Fergus Falls. Mimi, Sept. 26.-To
lie for nearly two hours listening to
burglars at work in the room below
them, and to await the explosion Of a
charge Of dynamite that might have
wrecked the building. was the expert
ence of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. ]. Grellong.
who residesin Erhard. a small village
just north of this city. Grellong is a
buttermaker and he and his wife have
rooms over a store.
Shortly after midnight Mrs. Grel-
long was awakened by someone
breaking a window in their rear
rooms. A few minutes later she
heard men prying open the front door
Of the store below. She awakened
her husband and they concluded that
the burglars had stationed someone
there to see that they did not give
the alarm, and had then begun work
downstairs. AS Mr.. Grellong was
without weapons they thought it was
best to lie still.
The burglars entered the store and
began their drilling Of the safe. FL
nally one Of them remarked that e
erything was ready and they heard
him drop his hammer and u to the
rear of the store They knew what
would follow and the explosion shook
the building. 1t blew the safe door
off and threw it against a desk, which
was shattered by the blow. The bur
glars were disappointed, as there was
no money in the safe. and after some
further grumbling left the building.

WASHINGTON HOP CROP NOT
DAMAGED BY RAIN.

Tacoma. wash.-The hop crop of
western Washington Is saved in spite
of the showers that have fallen in
this section of the state during the
last few days and which caused the
growers some anxiety. Reports from
the leading growers indicate that this
years crop will be the finest ever
gathered in this state.
Picking began several days ago in
North Yakima, and is general in Pu-
gallup valley and throughout western
Washington. The one are in good
condition, free from vermin and mold
and remarkably heavy. This win
make the task of stripping the vines
an easy one
The crop in the North Yakima dis
trict is estimated at 1900, while
western Washington will probably
yield a further 10000 bales, the fields
at Chilliwack. B. c., adding their
quota Of about 5000 to the worlds
supply. The failure Of the English
crop is apparently more serious than
was at first anticipated. Picking there
will not commence for about three
weeks. but the continuance Of wet
weather and the prevalence of high
winds, which are exceedingly destruc-
tive to the vines. forecasts the crop

ity.
This should react favorably on the
local crop. in the opinion Of James
Pincus, the well known dealer. as the
demand for Washington hops will be-
come more brisk.
The question Of harvesting the
crops offers little dificulty this year
unless the weather should be unpro.
pitious.
The siwash Indians from vancouv-
er island. who have been camping
along the water front for the last
week. have broken camp. said Louis
