The only insurance the people of Nome have against fire is an ample supply of water and it is matter of plain duty that they should be relieved from the danger of having their prop erty destroyed because of lack of water at critical moments.
 The damage to the building is appraised at about $2so. Judge Reed states that the damage sus- rained by himself and family will approximate $I5o.

 It was at first conjectured that he blaze started from defective wiring but an investigation this morning by Fire Chief Graham nd Chairman Thompson of the ire committee reveals that the fire tarted from the kitchen range, in he bottom of which was found l hole that permitted burning material reaching the flooring, The flames apparently burned trough the floor and gradually worked their way between the oists until an opening was reach d around a safety flue from the over floor. Here sufficient lraught was obtained to permit he smouldering flame to become 'ctive. A large hole was found turned through the floor and also he ceiling of the lower story.

 The chemical was at once en- ployed and, though the flames were held ill check for time, tht tank was exhausted and hand grenades and eXtlngulshers were employed before the arrival oi water through the fire mains. The call for water was sent in early but owing to tie blocking of tht suction at the pumping station not particle of the fluid reached the waiting fire house nntil al most a half hour after the ar rival of the department. A stiff breeze was blowing at the time and this, together with the ab- sence of water, was most favora- ble for the destruction of the entire building and much sur rounding property.
 The fire boys did the best they could during the wait by borrow ing all the fire extinguishers in the neighborhood and with these the flames were kept down, but that the building was not con stunned is really nothing but good luck.

Down In Washington, D. c.. Avia-

the man who played tag with the

moonless night to give the cause OF
preparedness a decided boost.
Ascending in his biplane, he circled
the capitol and government buildings

Although an aviator first, Mr..
Thompson is also an experienced mo-
torist. He used his Chalmers slx-30
touring car in reaching the aviation
fields and exhibition parks while on
tour.
"In my opinion, the high speed mo-
tor is the ideal type for the modern
car" Gays Mr.. Thompson. Both in
city driving and cross country work,

mirably to all conditions. l have

ing the team will, the same after
noon, be called upon to meet what
is conceded to be the best baseball
aggregation that has ever appeared
in Buckhannon-the Chinese. These
real Orlentals play the national game
in way that has twice meant de-
feat for Wesleyan. The first down
fall of the Orange and Black was in
1914, when Lefty" Cornwell was
beaten 4-3 in fourteen innings. Last
year the Chinese also won. this time
by the score of GA in a good game.
The "Chlnks" are the greatest nov
city team that has ever appeared in
this city. Annually they tour the
country playing the best college
teams to be found and always win

games. In 1914 they won ninety-six
games out OF 10S played. SO that Wes-

WEST VIRGINIA TRACK
TEAM VERY STRONG
And Followers of That Institu-
ton Predict Another Cham
pionship for State.

1t seems that present indications
of the track outlook at the university
would presage another championship
team for the school at Morgantown.
Those who remember some of the lat
est track meets will know that the
university has been successful in the
preceding three annual meets. The
present form of the team would indl-
cate Il fourth successive champion
ship team.
The meet at Clarksburg in 1913
was only won in the last event, as
also the thrilling finish to the meet at
Clarksburg in 1915. In 1913 West
Virginia won by the narrow margin
of two points. At Fairmont in 1914
the university team was the victor by
wide margin, but the meet at
Clarksburg last year was only deter
mined in the closing minutes and out
come of the discus throw. 1t was
here that West Virginias champions
Newman and Ruppell took the events
that put the university in the lead by
the exceedingly small margin OF one
fourteen tifteenths points.
The result of the inter-class meet
held in April at the university re-
vealed some first class candidates for
highest honors on the track and field
this year. In the dual meet with
Ohio University some remarkable
dashes and feats of strength were
given. Stevenson and DeForest both
ran the high hurdle in better time
than the state record held by Heav-
ner OF Wesleyan. Freutel passed the
high mark set for the pole vault, and
the relay team went the mile relay
time in IA seconds better than their
own record set at Clarksburg last
year.
officials have been secured for the
annual event. and the interest is now
being aroused. The meet will be held
in Morgantown on Monday, May 29th.
If no other changes are made. Wes-
leyan is determined to come strong
in an effort to take away the laurels
this year. West Virginia showed
great strength in disposing of Ohio
in the recent dual meet. after Ohio
had defeated some OF the best indoor
and outdoor teams in the state of
Ohio.

After the accident Darts Resta
forged ahead until the one hundred

BATTLE
TO Be FOUGHT
At HUNTINGTON
West Virginia and Marshall
Team Will Fight for State
Championship HonorS.

HUNTINGTON, May 13.-Thas the
state baseball championship for col
leges will be fought out on the local
field was made certain when MARSHALL
last week split with the University
at Morsantown and eliminated YES
ieyan in The two-game series at Euck-
harmon. This makes the second time
in succession that Marshall field has
been the scene of the final battles.
At this time last year the big green
was facing the almost impossible
task Of winning four games from the
teams that had beaten 1t in the first
mixup. To have lost any one of
those games would have meant the
loss of the title. The task in front
of the locals this time does not ap-
pear 80 difficult as the series with
the varsity stands one all and two
to be played on Marshall field.
Fans in this end Of the state have
renewed confidence in their favorites
since Wop Lawrence shut out the
varsity in Morgantown. AS matter
of fact, upstate critics, especially
those about Morgantown. have never
seriously considered Marshall as q
contender, claiming that last years
win was due wholly to the playing
of two games on the local field. That
second game at Morgantown, has
opened few eyes.
The big green realizes that they
have n harder task than last season
to win from the varsity, for there will
be no overconfldence this time. 1t
will be battle of pitchers this sine.
When Lawrence and June hook up,
there will be some battle. The local
players are supremely confident OF
their Fingers and know that they will
get good pitching all the time.
While all interest centers In the
two games here, Wesleyan can cause
an awful mixup by winning two out
Of three from the varsity, provided
the varsity trims Marshall, II such q
thing happens 1t would mean d three
cornered tie, Wesleyan has n dam
gercus team and when II gets good
pitching, look out,
