SMALL BUILDING BURNED

About three o'clock this morning
Night Marshal Murray discovered
an out building used as a woodshed
at the Mrs. Wendland home on the
east side. An alarm was sent in
and about fifty men, mostly from
the neighborhood gathered, and u.s.
ing snow and water from we'll
kept the blaze under control. The
fire was only about 35 feet from
Mrs. Wentlands residence, and if
there>ssad been a strong wind blow
ing the home would probably have
burned. The supposition is that
the fire originated from ashes which
Mrs. Wendland sifted in the build
ing. AS the waterworks on the east
side of the city are not in working
order on account of a break in the
street main, a fire at this time
might prove serious affair. AS it
is the loss was less than $50.

BENTLEY GRAND IMPROVED

Joe Nelson, manager of the
Bentley Grand, has been making
some improvements in the build
ing, SO that in case Of fire or panic
of any kind while the building was
filled with people there would be
plenty OF exits. There has been
some cltlclsm on the Bentley Grand
in this matter in the past, justly or
unjustly, and Mr.. Nelson is deter
mined to remedy it and eliminate
any possibility Of calamity along
the line referred to. Architect Bell
of Minneapolis, is planning new
exits to be used in times Of danger.
Among the improvements made
with safety in view has been the
screwing down of the seats; and
the bringing of the water pipe to
the stage with hose connection,
a rope fire escape at the stage door
and one at the east has also been
put in place, and a stairway is to be
put in at the north. He is con-
templating putting in south door
from the gallery leading onto the
Lemmel roof. This will make five
5-foot doors-one on the north; one
on the south; one in front: two on
the east. Deputy Fire Marshal
Henry visited here last week and
inspected the building, including
the furnace, wiring, and the cook
ing department of the restaurant
below, and was so we'll satisfied
with the protection afforded that
he offered no suggestions or asked
for any changes. 1t is the aim of
Mr.. Nelson to make the Bentley
Grand absolutely safe for the large
public gatherings that are brought
there not only by the theatre and
picture show, but on all other oc-
casions when there is call for a
large public gathering and this will
be done regardless Of expense and
safety secured as far as human for
sight can provide for it.

The Wolf at the Comet, Friday
Evening Feb. A

Story When Jules Beaubien' 5
father died, the young man found
himself an heir to large estate in
Monterel, he made confession.
that twenty years ago he had met
a squaw Of the Ojibway tribe and
that girl child was born and that
she was now with Canadian fam
lily in Nipissing county. The
fathers, last wish was that his son
should find his half sister and edu-
cate her, and give her half of the
estate. Jules started out on his
quest to find Annette. Arriving in
Nipissing county he found that the
family had moved but that woods
man, Baptiste LeGrande, could tell
him all about the girl. Baptiste
said he had loved her but that city
man had come along and betrayed
her. Baptiste tried to tell the
story but his rage would not permit
him and Father Paul continued.
He told Jules that the seducer had
abandoned the girl and gone back
to America. Annette knowing that
she was disgraced ran away from
her foster parents and wandered to
the camps where the women of the
trappers tried to care for her.
when her child was born she wan
dered out into the storm and with
her babe in her arms laid down in
the snow and died, and that the
wolves had eaten her and the child.
The rage Of Jules and Baptiste was
terrible. They joined hands and
swore they would find this man and
kill him. In the Indian summer
Jules and Baptiste put up at the
MacTavis house. Two other men
arrived, Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr..
Huntley, who were surveying for
a Canadian railroad.
MacTavish's daughter Hilda, a
beautiful Swedish girl, did the
cooking and the housework, Mrs.
MacTavish her mother not being
able to stand the irascible Macta-
wish, had run away when Hilda was
a child.
Soon rivalry between Jules and
Mcdonald became an::open book. One
day the men admitted their rivalry
face to face. Mcdonald laughed
and told of an affair some years ago
with little half breed girl up in
Nipis1g county. 1t was the story
of Annette. Mcdonald feeling that
she was losing ground with Hilda,
planned to work her in through her
father. The old Scotchman was
only too willing to get rid Of Hilda
demanded of her that she go with
Mcdonald. But Hilda resisted and
the old man in a rage would have
seized her by the throat and
strangled her but for Jules who
bore him to the floor of the cabin,
while Baptiste from outside of
the window covered Mcdonald with
his Winchester. A desperate duel
was fought in which Mcdonald was
killed and Jules and his party, after
burying the body, hastened to his
home in happiness This beauti-
full story is told in moving pictures
of six parts at Comet Theater Friday
evening, February 4.
