'Grandma" Hale Fatally Burned Tues.
day While Trimming a Lamp Wick
at the Home Of Her Daughter, Mrs.
S. J. Truax.

Mrs. Louisa Hale, aged IS years.
was fatally burned at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. S. ]. Truax
in Des Laos Tuesday few moments
past noon, dying about 500
o'clock that hf1ernooA without re-
gaining consciousness. The accident
was one OF the most fearful ever re
corded in the history of Ward coun.
ty. ,...
Mrs. Hale, who had always consid-
cred that no one could trim the lamp
wick ike she could herself, had At
tended to this duty about noon In her
room upstairs and whils no one was
in the room at the time that the Are
started, it IS presumed that she
dropped the match on the floor after
testing the wick and her clothing
caught fire from the same.
Her daughter, Mrs. Truax and
grand daughter, Mrs. RingstUn,
were preparing the noon day meal
When they heard terrible cries from
upstairs. Mrs. Rinestrom was the
first to reach the scene Of the acct.
dent and found Mrs. Hale enveloped
in flames, which leaped above her
head. Her hair had practically all
burned and the celluloid combs she
wore caught fire. making the fire that
that much more terrific. Her face,
head and arms were horribly burned.
but as she wore heavy wooden
sweater and a bath robe, hsr body
was scarcely burned at all. It. is thot
that she made her way to the wash
bowl and tried to put out the ire be-
fore calling for assistance,
AS Mrs. Ringstrom rushed into
the room she grabbed several blankets
and threw over her grandmother, but
these did not put out the flames and
she was compelled to secure water.
It took quick work on the part Of
Mrs. Ringstrom to save the house
from burning.
Mrs. Hale uttered a cry as Mrs.
Ringstrom entered the room and ex-
claimed: Fannie, see what 7 have
done" At that she collapsed IN q
faint and remained unconscious until
death.
A doctor was called and altho her
ole efforts were made to save the
life Of the unfortunate woman, the
shock was too great, owing to her ad.
vanced age.
An undertaken from Minot was call.
ed and the remains prepared for ship
nent. They were taken to Long
Prairie, Mimi, passing thru Minot TO-
day. They were accompanied BY
Miss Lillian Truax, the we'll known
Des Laos teacher, who is tho grand
daughter OF the victim. The funeral
will probably be held Friday.
Mrs. Hale was one of the early
pioneers Of that part of Minnesota,
having settled there in 1865. She Is
survived by ten children, Alex Hale
Of Nesson Flats and Mrs. s. J.
Truax being the only members OF the
family living in this vicinity.

fine character who had endeared her

ALUMNI WILL MIX
WITH TIGERS IN
GAME TOMORROW

An alumni team will play game
of football with the high school Tig-
ers tomorrow afternoon at the fair
grounds and it will undoubtedly be
the most interesting game of the year
for many reasons. The main reason
Is the fact that the lineup that will
oppose the Tigers will be composed of
many of the stars of the Old Tiger
teams now engaged in other pur-
suits.
The lineup of alumni will be COM
posed Of the following: Dan Fran
els. Fritz Halbouer, Ralph Jacobs
hagen, Hugh Steel, George Frey, Rex
Barber. Earl johnson, Wilbur Hards.
Mark Bunting, Courtland Bliss. Ray
Smith. Earl Fahrmeyer, Crosby, Luke
Gex, Curley Jones. and some others
who have not yet been seen by those
in charge.
The game will start about three
o'clock and the halves will be about
20 minutes each on account of the
fact that the alumni have not train
ed in the least nor have they even
practiced together. They meet to-
night for the first time to run
through some signals.

Motif Tells of
Ne,0 Road Through
Southern Colorado

Walter ]. Moffitt of Cortez. treas
urer Of the Cortez organization of the
Albuquerque, Cortez and Salt Lake
railroad project. arrived in the city
Monday on No. from Salt Lake
and visited here with James A. Beck
er and other local men interested in
the new railroad which will serve
the Lilylands and other portions of
Southern Colorado to some extent.
Mr.. Moffitt said while here that
the permanent survey is being made
now and that W. X. Palmer, who is
in charge of the survey work, accom-
panied him on this trip to Salt Lake
City and that they found keenest in
terest in Zion in the project. The
new road will mean to the southwest
ern part of Colorado and utheastern
Utah. Just what the Oregon Short
Line meant to Idaho. is Mr.. Moffitt's
statement. He says the new road
will have maximum grade OF one
per cent and that no curves will be
much sharper than four degrees.
There is every indication that the
work Is going to be pushed steadily
on the railroad giving the intermoun-
tain west brand new railroad that
will develop a great, new country.

FIREMAN DROWNED IN WRECK
Associated Press.

Winnipeg, Man, Nov. 21.-Ffre-
man p. O'Conner was drowned and
the other crew and passengers mar
rowly escaped death shortly after
O'Clock this morning. when the first
section of the Canadian Pacific rail-
roads west bound limited was wreck
ed near Coldwell.
The wreck was caused by the en-
gine jumping the track at the point
where the road skirts Lake Superior
on ledge 80 to so feet above water.
The engine plunged into the lake.
The engineer escaped by jumping.
All the cars remained on the grade.
A severe storm whipped across the
lake all night. carrying down poles
and telegraph wires for miles and
the railroads officials experienced
difficulty In communicating with
trainmen at the scene Of the wreck.
Sufficient information was receiv-
ed this morning to warrant an
nouncement that none OF the pas
sengers were killed or injured.

A committee composed Of T. NJ.
Todd, ]. j. Lumsden. J. II. Rankin,
w. j. Meyer and Frank h. Hall was
named last night at the court house
meeting to put the proposition up to
the commissioners. 1t Is extremely
doubtful If the county can legally
make levy to raise $4,000 for the
road at this time, although II 1t is
financed by private subscriptions 1t
may be taken over little at time
in later years.
The county commits toner's have al
ready decided not to build the Gate
way bridge over the Dolores, which is
a necessary unit In the construction.
The committee Will meet with the
board early In December at their reg
ular session.
Plans were suggested last night to
raise money for a toll road. while
others believed that wide-curyed.
low-grade auto road that could be
sold later for railway bed would be
preferable.
There was great enthusiasm last
evening over the proposal to tap the
rich inland empire OF the Paradox,
and all the reports on the resources
of tnat section were highly optimis-
tic. However, + Is now largely a
matter of metho i'm raising the mon

the scheme.
There was some difference of opin-
ion suggested as to how the money
should be handled. Henry II. Rhone
- faction which insisted that as
rapidly as funds were raised that
they should be spent In actual con-
struction. James A. Becker thought
,aat the subscriptions should be con-
ditional upon the entire sum being
