Golden BUSINESS MEN SUFFER
FIRE LOSSES
Two Buildings With Mercantile
and Liquor Stocks Fin.
tireIy Destroyed.

The village of Golden had q
struggle last week Monday to escape
being wiped out of existence when a
fire started in one of the business
houses and made considerable head
way before it was discovered. The
origin of the fire is unknown and
pro badly will remain so as the fire
was SO advanced when noticed that
there was no time to investigate and
the building in which IL started was
entirely destroyed.
1t was about 4:30 in the morning
when the fire was discovered in the
store of Hentges g. Co. The fire
rapidly spread to the Klein building
adjoining the store, and occupied by q
saloon and the Klein family who lived
upstairs. They managed to escape with
q few articles of wearing apparel
but nothing more and nothing was
saved from the Hentges store.
There was strong wind blowing and
it took great effort on the part of the
villagers to prevent the destruction OF
the lumber yard and hardware store
nearby.
The store building was owned by
the Golden State Bank and was
insured for $500, MIR. Hentges figures
that he loses about $500. to S25O0. on
his stock above an insurance of $500
Mr.. Klein carried an insurance OF
$500 on building, saloon fixtures and
household furniture and says he is out
from two to three thousand more. The
Steinke. Seidl Lumber Company have
. small loss.
The Klein saloon was the only one
in the village and the fire left the town
dry.

Bad Gang Is Arrested.

Minnesota citizens who in the course
of the past year have received letters
from the gang operating the so called
"Spanish Swindle" will be interested
to hear that collection of fellows
who has been attempting to pull
the wool over the eyes of the unsuspect~
ing public, have been arrested in Spain.
The game has been in operation for
the past twenty years, according to-
all accounts, and is known in some
places as the Madrid Swindle.''
One of the men taken into custody
during the raid at Balboa was the
ring leader of the gang who has
secured intern at onal fame among the
police records IS 1.-THE Spanish
Prisoner" This title was given him
because the letters sent out by him
and his agents apparently we're writteu
fro m some Spanish prison.
Each letter was written apparently
in Spanish prison and told at Lengths
of the Imprisonment Of the writer who
was heir to millions in gold If he
could secure his release. The writer
appealed to addressee that If he would
forward q certain sum OF money To-
him to buy his release from prison he
would show his appreciation by divid~
ing his fortune, which he named, im~
medistely upon bis release from
prison. Sometimes the person who
recei we'd the letter was made to be-
lieve that the prisoner WAS dfstAnt
relative and that money for his release
must be sent promptly or he would
not survive prison horrors and the
fortune would be lost. This appeal in
many cases brought prompt monetary
results from the victim and the
swindlers have made . nice living BY
appealing to the human love of wealth.
Every little while some new victims
made boiler but until recently none
of the gang were caught and others
may still be at large.

AIR RIFLE PROVES A DANGER
Gus WEAPON
Twice In ! Day Same Gun Spreads
Terror. Victims More
Scared Than Hurt.

II has been generally assumed thai
air rifles are in no way dangerous and
that no harm can be done with them.
For that reason, probably, people
have become more or less careless IL
handling them and girls even have not
hesitated to use them with impnnity
where they would not Think of touch
ing shotgun or revolver.
However, that air rifles are some
what dangerous and certainly
treacherous, was demonstrated in our
c,sy last Saturday. While Miss Hilda
Alvin, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. II.
E. Alvin Of the town of Cottonwood
who is in the employ of Mrs. Fred
Peuser was using an air rife belong
ing to the family to shoot sparrows
with the gun accidently wentson and
the discharged bullet lodged in the
girls left index finger, infiicting .
painful, although not serious wound
She Immediately vent to local
physician, who extracted the bullet
and dressed the wound, aud the young
lady is able to attend to her daily
duties.
An accident OF this magnitude should
have been sufficient for one air rife,
but II proved otherwise in this case.
This same air rifle in the hands OF
Lester Peuser did some more damage.
While he was trying to demon
Itrste to Benny Williams,
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred williams, that the blamed thing
wasn't loaded, there was an explosion
and the bullet from the air rife lodged
in Benny's neck, blowing through
the desh near the surface of the akin
for IN inch and hxlf. The little
fellow never WINGED until he felt the
blood streaming down his neck and
then he got scared and rushed home
crying. he was Immediately taken to
a physician who concluded that it
would be better to allow the bullet to
remain where it had lodged than to
try and cut it out and so he simply
dressed the wound. The boy is going
to- school again, SO he has not suffered
very much injury as q result OF the
accident. These incidents ought to
remind us forcibly that it pays to be
very careful even in handling weapons
that are considered harmless.
