ANOTHER fIRE...ALM0ST
AT LlTCHVILLE, n. D.

Litchville had another big fre-al.
most-last Saturday morning. AT
about half past four in the morning
fire was discovered in the back room
of the Bee Hive general merchandise
store, anu a general alarm was turned
in. The fire fighters arrived in short
order and found the room full of
smoke, but were unable to discover
the fire until the room had been well
drenched with water when it was
found that the fire had apparently
started in box of Gold Dust on the
floor in the middle of the room and
had eaten its way along the floor. Most
likely it had been burning several
hours, creating vast amount Of
smoke. 1t is thought that spontan-
eous combustion caused the fire. A
stiff northwest wind was blowing and
If the fire had gained any great head
way before being discovered the whole
block might have been burned.-Litch-

IALLY NET AND ROYALTY
' ENTERTAINED.
(By a NOrmalOnian.)

While we were cordially received
and royalty entertained on our entire
concert tour-had receptions held for
us by Normal alumni, and were ap-
plauded to the echo, there is one point
in the trip that will remain outstand-
ing in the minds of the Normalonians.
That is our visit at the penitentiary as
the guests of Warden Talcott. We
arrived at Bismarck about eight
o'clock yesterday morning from Man
dan and were met at the station by
carriages and automobiles and taken
to the penitentiary. Here a steaming
breakfast was awaiting us. after
which Mr.. Goodsell spent some time in
practice with the prison orchestra. The
Normalonians watched the practice
until the men filed into chapel, some
215 in number.
Mr.. Goodsell announced that we
would give our entire program as CIV
en- throughout the week and Mr.. Tai
colt asked the boys not to applaud as
we were somewhat fatigued from
strenuous weeks work. We opened
the concert and for the first half Of
the program there the men, true to
the request of the warden did not ap-
plaud. But, during the Carmina mum.
Der interest rose to where it could not
be withheld and at the close of the
song, hearty applause was responded i
to with an encore number, as was
each following number. i
After the program, which included
several extra numbers, the girls end
ed with a hearty Normal yell. Warden \
Talcott said the boys Of his school

against A. Y. More, former owner of
the Courier-NeWs. His attorneys are
Pollock and Pollock. The papers in
tho suit are dated December 2, 1913.
The complaint states that Mr.. Guild
F; was engaged as pastor In the Meth.
odist denomination and that for
number Of years past his earnings
have been in the neighborhood Of
$4,000, that himself and wife had &C.
cumulated some $4,000 which he was

and on a paying basis and was re-

The complaint further states that
he relied upon these statements and

the Progressive party had practically

respectable citizens had at different

losing. The result OF this. was to
make them feel unkindly toward the
paper. The paper had long been a
."sinkhole" for the investors and that
it was running behind at the time 1t
was sold to this corporation.
The charge is made that the sub.
