TWO HOUSES WE'RE BURNED.

TWO HOUSES WERE BURNED.
Washburn, N. D., March 6.-Two
houses were burned down this week
and from reports both were caused by
defective flues. Pete Soderquist, who
lives at Hensler, was awakened in
time to see his whole house on fire, but
was unable to save a thing. The house
was insured but not the furniture.
Mrs. Soderquist was visiting her sister,.
Mrs. Nelson, when the house burned.
The other fire was the Runion farm
house near Energy. It was partially
insured. Too much care cannot be
taken at this time of the year when
the pipes and chimneys are full of SCOT
after this cold winter.
