SEVERE FIRE
NEAR OVID
RESULTS IN DEATH
Freight Train Sets Fire to
Parker Bros.' Meadow
Mrs. West Dies Of Fright

On last Tuesday afternoon word
was sent to Julesburg that a fire
was raging in the meadow belong.
ing to Parker Bros. about a mile
west Of Ovid. The fire was start.
ed by spark from the local freight
OH the Union Pacific, which pass.
ed by shortly after noo, Tuesday.
The wind was blowing in a north
easterly direction at the time the
fire started, and the blaze quickly
spread over the meadow. covering
q distance of about a half-mile,
east and west aud north and south,
taking hay stacks as it went. Ten
or twelve stacks of hay were burn
ed in the field before the fire could
be gotten under control.
Mr.. c. F. Parker and some
land men happened to be going
by the field at the time the fire
first started and quickly summon.
I'd aid. But owing to the fact
that heavy wind was blowing it
was impossible to prevent the fire
from spreading rapidly. Help
was summoned also from this city,
and a number of our citizens
quickly responded by going out to
the scene of the conhagration in
autos. All of the residents living
nearby were already actively en-
gagged in keeping the fire from
spreading, aud succeeded in hold
ing the blaze to this one field ex-
in few places. which was quick
ly put out. thus averting any fur
ther serious damage.
For awhile it was thought that
the fire would do considerable
more damage than which it did.
The home of John Porter directly
across the road north of the burn
ing field was several time in dam
ger, but piece of wet ground
between the Porter place and the
burning meadow perhaps was the
only thing which prevented the
fire from jumping across the road
at this point. The place of X T..
Tanika, a japanese farmer also
had a narrow escape as likewise
the West Lincoln schoolhouse
these being located on the road
east from the Porter farm. Had
the flames spread further north
across the road it would also prob
ably have done damage TO the O.
p. Wilson farm east of the West
Lincoln school house on this road
School was dismissed at the West
Lincoln school on account of the
serious situation.
= 1t is very fortunate that the
fire was gotter under control at
the time it was or it would have
no doubt swept the entire valley.
Parker Bros. will lose about 20 to
80 tons of hay from the result OF
the contlagration, and although
the hay will be paid for no doubt
by the railroad company, would
much rather have had the hay on
the ground as there is a scarcity
of this product in that territory.

Mrs. D. w. West Dies

The house of Doc West on the
south side Of the buring meadow
was in danger several times, the
wind changing later on in the
afternoon to the south, thus turn
ing the flames back towards that

SUNDAY SERVICES At
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
LIVINGSTON AND HIS WORK IN
AFRICA NEXT SUNDAYS
THEME
COMMUNICATED

The Sunday school is still growing.
We expect to reach the one hundred
and fifty mark by next Sunday. The
school is now being graded according
to age
1t is with great regret we accept
the resignation of C. c. Boak as direc-
tor of the choir. He has been most
faithful and efficient. The morning
sermon was from the text, "And he
wist not that the Lord was departed
from him." referring to Samson and
the loss of his strength through dis
obedience.
The Christian Endeavor meeting
was led by Miss Mary Nichols. There
was a good attendance and an inter-
esting meeting.
The evening sermon was on the
subject, 1.-TWO kinds of haste" One
kind resulting in expeditions work;
the other in waste of strength and
time.
Miss Laura Farrela sang solo,
Rest in the Lord" which was the
special feature of the music
Next Sunday evening is to be de-
voted mostly to Livingston and his
work in Africa. One special feature
will be reading by Mrs. Bayless on
the subject
No choir director has yet been Sc
cured, but choir practice will be held
Thursday evening as usual and we
hope to secure director before that
time.

HIGH SCHOOL BOY DESCRIBES
GAME IN THE PINE TREE
CAMP

The score might look big in the eyes
of the people who read the paper. but
if you had seen the court you might
have thought different. Tonopah was
handicapped owing to the small court
and low ceiling. The boys could not
display their team work on account of
such a small court At times the boys
got started on a rally of baskets,
but were checked by the lankey Man
hattaners who could almost reach the
ceiling. Chas. Blake, for Manhattan,
proved to be the star point maker,
while Pollard, O'Connell and Gilbert
proved to be the point makers for To
nopah and were always in the game,
After the game a dance was given
in the Woman's club. The floor was
small, but oh what time they had
About midnight refreshments were
served and dancing continued until
two O'Clock in the morning. The boys
were taken to each one of the players
