Miss Ella Uline, sister Of Mrs.

burned to death at her home in Dew

Nash was notified almost Immediately

left TOR that city on the earliest train.
Miss Uline was alone at her home.

DIFFER
ON new Law
ARE NOT CERTAIN or MEANING
OF NEW LIQUOR
LAW.

Considerable doubt is being ex-
pressed by the legal lights among the
city authorities as to the exact mean
ing OF the Webb interstate liquor bill
which has now been passed by Dotn
the United States senate and the
house Of representatives.
R. A. Nestos, states attorney, said
today that his understanding of the
original bill had been that it prohit-
tied absolutely the shipment of liquor
into dry territory.
The bill which was practically
identified with the original draft, so
Mr.. Nestos' Interpretation would also
apply to it.
Dorr Carroll, assistant states at
torney, on the other hand believes
that the law does not prohibit the
bringing Of liquor, into the prohibit
tion states for private consumption.
He points out that the private con-
sumption Of liquor is not against the
law at present. and therefore. as the
Webb till is merely planned to re-
inforce the state laws that it cannot
interfere with this point.
In any case it is probable that
many people living in prohibition tor.
ritory will take measures to be sure
that they will not be unduly moon
venienced before the big drought"
comes to pass.

ARCHIBALD A MOVIE mA1NArE.

Archibald Miller, who used to be
prime minister of the old Dewey in
the days when burlesque should have
been spelled fburleyque, has been
heard from. He is sojourning at
Minot, N. D., where he has been
roosting since that laughter swept
night when Michailoff rolled over on
MS back and tickled Yess Petersen
in the libs az a means of breaking a
half-oleson Pedersen was clamping on
his stalwart Polish neck. 'Tis far
erty from sport and burlesque to NOV
ing pictures, but Archibald has made
the leap without batting an eyelash
or disturbing the filling in single
tooth. Furthermore, he has started
to atone for his burlesque days by
Offering Minot the greatest series Of
religious film ever thrown on NOV.
ing picture canvas.
Archibald, though. at that. was al
ways scme kid with wide circle Of
friends who will be pleased to hear
that he Is still on earth and getting
his or his share Of it--with painful
regularity. Minneapolis Journal.
