in her bare feet to the bell tower,
which stands some little distance away,
and rang the bell. Many of the girls
had narrow escapes from Heath by be-
ing partially overcome by smoke, but
after heroic efforts on the part Of the
matron, night Waterman and the wo-
men teachers all of the occupants Of
the building were ave Most of them
left the building SO hurriedly that they
had only time to partially dress. Good
organization on the part of the en-
ployes saved adjacent buildings. In
accomplishing this a bucket brigade
was formed n important links in the
human chain were. women teachers,
who worked as diligently as the men.

CRAWFORD PLEASED WITH
CANDLES BURKE SUPPORT

Huron. S. D., Feb. 16.-When Sena-
tor Crawford's attention was called to
the interview Of former Senator
Gamble in the Sioux City Journal of
the 18th inst, he said: THAT is one
of h best things that could happen
in the campaign. Mr.. Gamble came
over n cooperated in one campaign
with the progressive republicans for
no other purpose thar to get back
into the Senate. He v believed as
we did. He never accepted the move
ment in good faith. The alliance, SO
far as he was concerned, was one of
eXpediency. We wanted to secure
progressive legislation. That was the
object at which we were aiming. While
we e believed in him as a pro-
that the good Lord should in this case
mak evil serve a good purpose. Now
he relieves us of all embarrassment by
showing in this interview hat he is
in thorough sympathy with, and an
active %snnnarter of the minority or
stalwart faction, and thinks his all
progressive republicans instead Of
keeping the party progressive, should
1T. He pretended for seven
years to be a progressive republican,
but 1t is clear that he was as intensely
stalwart all the time as Lorimer,
Burke. Cannon, or Penrose.
These general declarations about
my record and Burke's record are not
the final word in this campaign. I
dissected both records at Sioux Falls
and MI. Burke could have been on the
platform to correct me IL / made any
untrue statement concerning his
record. He was invited to come and
hold joint discussion with me but de-
clined. / am going to present these
records as they are, not as such gem
a tnsinuations as Mr.. Candles in
teryieW would nave the public believe"

RELATIVES WORRIED OVER
MISSING COUNTY AUDITOR

Deadwood, S. D., Feb. 14.-Apprenen-
sion over the safety of County Auditor
John l.. Baker, who disappeared last
week, after the discovery Of an al
legged irregularity in the issuing Of
county warrants, Is felt by his family
here. Baker was traced as far as Edge
mont, S. D., where his trail was ost,and
his parents profess to believe hat he
is suffering from dementia.
Baker is serving his first term as
auditor and was the choice on indorse-
ment Of both factions of the party for
the spring primaries for denomination.
In checking up his office the county
commissioners found the overissuance
of a warrant for $500 by the auditor.
He had registered 1t with other war
ants and they had been sold, as is the
custom. Baker was asked for the re-
turn Of the extra warrant and he
money it had brought and returned
both with the statement that he had
accidentally issued it without realizing
that it was above the amount auhor-
lied by the commissioners. Two days
later he disappeared without word to
his family or friends.
Action to force him from the ticket
in the primaries will probably be taken
by the republican committee and the
office temporarily filed by appointment
until the November election.
