Saturday. Judge McClenahan was

against the issuance of liquor licenses.
Although Koochiching county vo-
ted "dry" under the option law in Au-
gust, liquor dealers at International
Falls claim that under that city's

elusive right Of granting licenses.

TOTAL LOSS IS ABOUT ..
$500; PARTIALLY INSURED

The family of Frank Van Tassel Of
NymOre narrowly escaped with their
lives early yesterday morning when
their home at Nymore was destroyed
by fire. The entire family escaped
to the street in their night clothes
and were cared for by neighbors. The
fire caused a total loss which is esti-
mated at about $500, partly covered
by insurance.
Mr.. Van Tassel was awakened at
about four o'clock in the morning as
the flames were at the foot of the bed
He awakened his wife. They threw
their clothes into the street and car
ried the children to safety.
The Nymore fire department re-
sponded but the fire had gained such
a headway that no effective work
could be done. The house was a
frame, one story and a half struc-
ture.
1t is believed that the fire origin
ated from an over-heated stove. Be-
fore retiring Mr.. Van Tassel had
banked the stove with wood.
This is the third bad fire that N.Y.
more has had during the past two
weeks. In each case a home was
destroyed
Mr. and Mrs. Van Tassel and fam
lily will remain at the homes of

Thief River Falls, MINI, Dec. 20.
The swan song Of the saloons was
sung in Pennington county Saturday
when IL thirst parlors closed their
doors and for three years at least the
authorities promise ''dry" zone, so
far as law enforcement can make this
possible. The passing of the saloons
in this city removes many old-time
land marks and places of amuse-
ment, where in the halycon days Of
the lumberjack and woodsman, high
jinks and good Fellowship, in a rough
way, to be sure, but quite common at
that, prevailed. Moving picture
houses, groceries, confectionaries and
soft drink emporiums are to take the
place of the saloons here.
