Huntington. w. Va, Aug 10.-A re-
port reached here this morning to the
effect that Jarrolds Valley, a town of
500 inhabitants in Boone county at the
head OF Coal river. was washed away
in yesterdays cloudburst and that rs
of its populace had lost their lives.
That section OF Jarrolds Valley be-
tween Fields and Joes creeks was
swept clear by the water, according
to reports here. 1t is said that at least
500 houses were washed away. In
habitants had no warning of the ap-
proach of the water and it is believed
the loss of life may be even greater
than that on Paint and Cabin creeks.
More than two thousand residents
of the valley are perched on the hill
tops, the majority of them without
sufficient clothing and all of them in
danger of starvation. Because of the
isolated character of the section, relief
will be Silver in reaching there than
in other affected sections. and fears
are felt that many of those saved from
the flood will perish of starvation.

MINOT AUTO co. SERVICE.

"Service" is much used word and
also much abused word.
Mr.. Miller, President Of the Minot
Auto Company, says that it is their
intention to make Overland Service
mean the fulfillment of the spirit as
we'll as the letter of their contract and
the service the Minot Auto Company
endeavors to render Overland owners,
is based on this conception Of the
term.
Service means great deal more to
an automobile owner, than one who is
not accustomed to real service may be
able to realize. The Minot Auto Com
pany have at the present time, one ex-
pert mechanic on their staff, whose
only duties are to render service to
Overland owners and to keep them
instructed as to the proper way to
handle and take care of their cars,
as we'll as to assist them at any time
it may be necessary. This means a
great deal, especially to the new own

a straw pile near Weyburn, Sask.,
April 8. The Mounted Police Of Can

committed suicide is quite certain. He
shot himself thru the heart. A pic

Chief Dougherty, who remembers of
having seen the man in this city. He
slept two nights at the city Jail. J..
F. Mccoy, a Weyburn laboring man.,

M|NOT ARCHITECTS
JOINED FORCES
STACY-JUDD AND BUGENHAGEN
FORMED PARTNERSHIP
LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK UN.
DER WAY.

Robert B. Stacy-Judd and G. H.
Bugenhagen, we'll known architects,
have formed a partnership under the
firm name of Stacy-Judd & Bugen-
hagen and will continue their quarters
block, which have been occupied by
the former.
Mr.. Stacy-Judd has been located in
this city for the past two years and
during that time he has built up fine
business. Mr.. Stacy-Judd is man
of wide experience. He received his
training in England and worked with
some of the best firms of that coun-
try. He has also been employed in
Egypt and thruout the larger cities
of Canada.
Mr.. Bugenhagen is a construction
engineer, fully qualified in Canada
and California, having passed the ex-
aminations required for provincial and
state licenses. He was located at Sas-
katoon, Sask., for five years.
Joining their forces will give the
architects an opportunity to 20 after
more of the larger deals. They will
specialize in steel and reinforced con-
crete work.
Five architects are now employed
at the office where all of the designing
is done. One of the architects is
specialist in steel work, who does
nothing else.
They are now working out plans
covering S25O,OO0 worth of work.
1t will be remembered that the Will
liston Armory, designed by Mr.. Stacy
Judd, was let for S24 less than the ar
chitect's estimate and that for the new
100000 Williston fiat block the con-
tract was let for $50 less than the es-
innate.
The concern is working on plans for
a $4,000 freproof block of flats at
Bismarck, large Catholic church in
the southern part of the state, and
other flats and office blocks scattered
about the state.

LIAMS TO THE CITY-ALASkA
LECTURER FACES SERIOUS
CHARGES.

M. C. Williams, aged 40 years, was
placed under arrest in a room at the
Lexington hotel Monday evening by
Chief of Police Dan Dougherty and
assistants, and is being held on the
charge of receiving money from q
prostitute. The complaint was signed
by Margaret Sanger, the woman who
accompanied Williams to this city and
with whom Williams is said to have
lived for several years.
Williams is said to be a Yale grad
uate and lecturer on Alaskan sub
jects.
The fact that fourteen-year-old
St. Paul high school girl accompanied
Williams and the Kellar woman to
Minot, led to the arrest Of the couple.
Williams may later be charged with
violating the Mann act, or it is pos
sible that he will face the charge of
being a white SLAYER.
Williams was tracked to Minot by
the mother of the St. Paul high school
girl, assisted by detective. The
girl, whose name we do not care to
use on account of this being juvenile
case, is not more than fourteen years
of age, according to the statement
made by the mother, altho she appears
to be nearly eighteen. She is beauti-
full child, tall and we'll developed. 1t
is said that she first met Williams in
St. Paul, as she was leaving the high
school building. She dropped her
pocketbook and Williams hastened to
pick it up. Later, Williams is said
to have taken the girl to his rooms
where he made her acquainted with
the Keller woman. Just how he man.
aged to get her to accompany him to
Minot is not known, but it is said that
he represented himself to be man of
means and made her promises Of a
tempting nature. Tickets were bought
to Poplar, Mont, but the trio got off
at Minot The mother and the detec-
tive went to Poplar, and not finding
Williams there, telephoned to Minot
where they were located. Williams
owns vicious Siberian wolf dog
which was checked to Williston. The
dog was returned to this city. Will
liams and the women arrived in Minot
Saturday night.
Williams was given a hearing be-
fore Justice C. C. C. Willis Wednes-
day. He was held to district court
under $500 and not being able to give
bail, is boarding with Sheriff Nedre-
loe. Williams takes his arrest very
hard and broke down and cried.

COLD STORAGE PLANT ASSURED

COLD STORAGE PLANT ASSURED.
Word has been received by the As
sociation Of Commerce officials to the
effect that the North American Stor-
age Company will erect a fine three
story plant with full basement in this
city, the building to be completed and
ready for occupancy by August first
Of the present year.
The building will be located on the
triangular piece of ground directly
east of the ,Minot Grocery Co. build
ing, and opposite the 500 freight
House on Central Avenue.
The first floor will be built with fine
plate glass front, and the building in
every way will be modern
The location of real cold storage
plant in Minot has for a long time
been a great need. AS it is now, but
ter and eggs are shipped in to the
Twin Cities during the summer season
when these commodities are cheap,
and then shipped back to Minot and
adjacent territory in the winter time
when they are high in price. The
North American Storage Company
will be able to stabilize prices at all
times, thus doing away with the
great uncertainty in the market.
The location is an ideal one for the
company, and the building they will
erect will be credit to the city in
every way.

A|N0T LOSES A
NOBLE Citizen
w. E. TOWNER, AFTER MONTHS
OF SUFFERING, WAS CALLED
TO HIS HOME ON HIGH SATUR-
DAY MORNING.

and other friends gathering. The ser,
vices at the Temple were conducted
by Star in the West Lodge No. 33, A.
F. and A. M, with Worshipful Master
Hagenstein in charge. The services
were exceedingly beautiful and i'm
pressive. Rev. P. w. Erickson deliv-
cred prayer and the male quartet Of
the Presbyterian church sang num-
ber of appropriate selections. The
Masons marched with the body to the
G. N. station, from which place the
remains were forwarded to the old

father was conductor, and when he
reached manhood he became first q
brakeman and later, by industry and
fidelity to duty, rose to the position Of

retiring from the service of the rail-
road, has been employed by the Con-

bert, of his Immediately family. to
mourn his DEATH He is also survived
by three sisters, Mrs. LaForest King
of Springfield, Illinois; Mrs. R: s..
Mooney of Palatka, Florida, and Mrs.
George r. Fish, Of Chicago.
Mr. Towner led good life. He
loved his home with it's many beauti-
full flowers and it's green, well-kept
lawn. After his days duties were
done, his greatest delight was to be
out with his wife, amid the flowers.
But a day or two before he died, he
expressed the desire to live long
enough to see the grass green once
more. He was refined in every taste,
a noble man in every sense Of the
word, and by his pure life and kindly
deeds on this earth, he must have won
for himself place in that Celestial
Home on High.
