BIG FIRE At BEACH

A livery barn at Beach, containing
material valued at between three and
four thousand dollars, and owned by
J. P. Powers, was burned to the
ground Tuesday afternoon as the re-
suit of the celebration held in that
village.
Mr.. Reevers had intended to erect
a new brick building adjoining the
ill-fated barn and, while awaiting
completion of arrangements for his
new place Of business had stored a
quantity of valuable material in the
livery barn.
Just how the blaze originated is un-
known, but it is believed it was start
ed when sparks from fireworks got
in contact with hay and straw stored
in the structure. The livery barn is
located in the center of the town
and it was only due to the heroic
work Of the fire department that the
entire block was not wiped out.
The telephone cables were also de-
stroyed and as result Beach will be
minus it's usual excellent phone serv-
ice until the damage can be repaired.

HAROLD v, BO|SUM
BROWNS At BELF|ELD

About 200 o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon of this week Harold Boisum,
eldest son of Paul Boisum, who has a
fine farm just west of Dickinson, was
enjoying plunge with his little
brother in the N. P. reservoir at
Belfeld when Harold stepped into a
hole and sank to his death. The
young man struggled and used his
mightiest efforts to save himself, but
not being able to swim, the cold
spring and mud at the bottom finally
conquered and he went down for the
fifth and last time, never to rise
again.
The little brother, who was the only
one to lend aid, was powerless and
distracted with grief to see his broth
err dying before his very eyes.
AS soon as the alarm was spread
the whole city rushed to aid the un-
fortunate boy and did everything in
their power, but the body was not
recovered till evening when Sam
Fletcher dove in and pulled it out.
Examination by physicians proved
that any attempt to revive the body
would be futile.
The deceased was 18 years old and
leaves a father and one small brother
to mourn his death, the mother hav-
ing died several years ago.
Harold w. Boisum was we'll and
favorably known in Belfeld and Dick
inson and the Press joins with a large
circle of friends in extending our
sympathy to the family.
The remains were taken to Eyotc,
Minn., and placed beside the mother.

''LET'S GO SWIMMING

Play ground committee makes ar
rangements for swimming. The call
of the "Old Swimming Hole" has been
too strong during the past few days
and the play ground committee have
decided to give the boys of the city
a chance to cool off as we'll as an op-
portunity to learn to swim. Boulder
Rock has been chosen as the liquid
spot in which the boys will navigate
and Mr.. Hodge, the new play ground
director will be in charge. The boys
will meet at the play ground every
morning at 10 o'clock and hike out in
bunch. They will be dismissed in
good time for dinner. Mr.. Hodge is
a good swimmer and is efficient in
life saving and resuscitation. He has
had considerable experience in teach
ing swimming and is very desirous of
getting as many nOn-sWimmers out
as possible as he believes everybody
should learn to swim. The water is
from two feet to four and half feet
deep and there is very little or no
chance of drowning. Mr.. Hodge will
be in the water himself or on the
bank at all times and anxious mothers
need not worry.
No suits are needed. All boys are
welcome. Come on out and enjoy the
fun.

STORM OF WEDNESDAY
WAS MOSTLY WIND

Shortly after supper Wednesday
night winds began to signal that a
storm was brewing. Clouds gathered
and sped across the sky at a terrific
pace as if enjoying bask in the
twilight sun. Many have never seen
such a beautiful spectacle, with the
elements fighting for their place in
the sky, unless the whole scene was
spoiled by some calamity such as
hail, cyclone or drenching rains.
The Press has communicated with
correspondents in all directions from
Dickinson and find these people have
had the same scare, but no damage.
New England, Amidon, Manning and
others report very slight storms.
Many who have experienced bad cy-
clones in other parts of the country
were plum scared and ready to take
to the cellars. However, the storm
seemed to elbow over" and the only
damage reported was at Killdeer and
north, where the storm played a few
pranks but no great damage was
done.

said, and others appeared Indifferent
as they gazed across the rolling yel-
low hills where the international boun-
dary skirts on the desert stretches,
and where they pictured themselves
fighting under blistering sun when
they hurriedly detrained there from
Sacramento after the Presidents call.
The Seventh Infantry and Artillery
battalion are breaking camp. The
Tenth pulled up stakes, rolled up big
bundles and carried them in mtoor
trucks to the trains. The troopers
went into town last night for tho last
time. Some purchased a few trim
kets, many posed before tye itinerant
photographers for soldier boy por-
trait.
The officers went about with cam
eras, taking last pictures over the
ground where once they might have
directed fighting. Men sat down for
their last mess at breakfast. Groups
of guardsmen here and there were
tusy with the business of breaking
camp.
A tiny bit of tragedy marked the
soldiers goodbye to the border. The
troopers We're saying goodbye to thell

as near human as any animal can be.
