FIRE DEPARTMENT
BUSY At PORTAL

Portal, N. D., March 11.-Portal
was visited by two fires yesterday
and the local fire department was
kept busy hauling chemicals about
town.
The first blaze, caused by de-
fective pipe, broke out in the Eng
lish residence and was soon extin-
guished.
The second fire Occurred at noon
in the Grand View hotel on the
north side. A pan of gasoline that
was being used to clean clothes
caught fire in some manner and
the room was soon a mass of flames.
The timely arrival Of the fire de-
partment, however, soon put the
blaze under control before much
serious damage was done to other
parts Of the building. The prompt
action of the fire ooys without
doubt prevented the complete de-
struction of the hotel, as a strong
wind entering an open window
blew directly on the flames.

him: the trigger caught on the

in the lower jaw, blowing one side
and his chin entirely off. Dr.. "
ers was Immediately called by tel
sephone, and made the patient as
comfortable as possible. He was
taken to the hospital at Brecken-
ridge. Mr.. Rezac was very brave
and stood the shock remarkably
well, for as soon as the doctor had
bandaged the wound he walked oye1
to his wife and tried to conso'e her.
Mr.. Rezac came here from. Nebras-
ka: two years ago and bought the
H., Moe farm, and has made
many friends who hope for his

fore going out for the day and in
some{ way the gun went off, the
charge striking his wife in the back
tearing away a part of the back

ra1gements made to take her to
town but her spine was so badly
injured that it gave way when the
attempt was made to move her and
she died before reaching the con-
veyance at the door.
The shooting was so purely acci-
dental that the officials did not

grief stricken husband is heart
broken and is left with four small
children, the youngest being only
about; a month old.

Dear Editor: If you could spare.
some space in The Tribune I would
like to tell the public about my
medicine, better known as Sander:
sons White Liniment." This pre-
paration will do all l claim for. it;
If given fair test, and it is well:
worth the price asked. 1t has
been thoroughly tested for barb
wire cuts and healing of sores, and
it is great for removing swelling
and sores. For removing greasy
spots or stains from your hands or
clothing, it is right there. 1t is
an ideal polish for silverware, brass,
nickel, stoves, etc. 1t is an all
around preparation for people in
town as we'll as farmers. This is
no scheme to catch suckers, Or a
catch penny game, because every
bottle of these gooss sold is fully
guaranteed, and your money will
be refunded if you find that it will
not do all l claim for it. What:
more could be promised? Furth-
ermere I have no ossheadquarters-:f :f,i
Minneapolis or hindquarters in Chi
cago. I reside in the progressive
town of Northgate in Burke coun-'
ty, which is surrounded by a bunch
Of prosperous and progressive far
mers.
Do not hesitate to buy bottle
from anyone of my agents. even If
it is not prepared by a big con-
cern. Many men have started on
small scale in this line and are
now doing an enormous business en-
tirely on the merits Of their goods.
That is just what I am doing. l
am talking on merit, SO if you
should be so unlucky as to find it
not as represented. write me, and.
enclose an affidavit, stating the case,
and that you wish your money re-,
funded. Now. you readers of this.
and this paper The Bowbells Trib-:
une, of which practically every cit
izen of Burke county is subscrib-
er, and ought to be proud of it's
news and clean print which to
read does not require the use of
magnifying glass. and further,
more clean cut gentleman like
The Tribune editor, would not re.-s
commend my preparation If 1t was
not what it is claimed to be. l.
think I have said enough and I.
will let the matter rest with you.
Yours for business.
