This has been week of
disaster for people living east
and south of US. The terrible
toll of death and destruction of
property by the tornado which
swept through Omaha on Sun
day is appalling and right on
the heels of that horror comes
news of terrible floods in Ohio
and Indiana. The greatest loss
of life is at and near Dayton,
Ohio, where the list of dead is
estimated as between 5000 and
5000.
Much anxiety is felt here for
the safety of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Nero and Thomas

FIRE ON SATURDAY

Seglously Damaged
9. 6. HoRruEss IS IN NoPTTAL
Explosion Which Started Fire
Caused Serious end Pain.

Fire broke out in Jacob
Ohmart's Flour and Feed store
at 8: ID Saturday morning of
last week due to the attempt
of G. G.. Hortness to use gaso-
line to hasten the fire in the
the office stove. The explosion
which followed set fire to the
Office and also seriously burned
Mr.. Hortness.
The fire department respond
ed promptly but had INSULT
cient pressure until the gaso-
line engine was brought out.
When a good stream was Sc
cured the blaze was soon under
control.
Mr.. Ohmart's loss is about
&,5OO with 81. 500 insurance.
The adjusters have been here
and arranged for settlements
and the store will be rebuilt at
once. The debris is now being
removed preparatory to build
ing operations.
Latest reports from the
hospital indicate that Mr.. Hort
ness will recover but will be
incapacitated for work for
several weeks.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1913-03-28

We hope that those who have
exhibited in the past will for
get the delinquency occasioned
blythe lack of funds, and that
now, acting on the above as.
surance, they will make pre-
parations to boost the fair along
by bringing in larger exhibits
than ever.
The revision com mittee is
in hopes of getting out the new
premium list early, and the
secretary will be glad to distri-
butte to those wishing one.
The committee is in session to-
day and it is expected that an
attractive list will be the re-
suit of their efforts. and it is
to be hoped that the people of
the county will take advantage
OF the numerous premiums Of
fered.
The Fair association is prop
erly established by law, and is
supported in the main, by tax
alton. Therefore, we are all
interested in making it an an
nual success, so let US all get
busy and push for the coming e
fair.
