died at an early hour that morning at

the end was hastened by paralytic

whose death had preceded hers some
years ago, numbered among the more
prominent pioneers first settling in

WALES HAS A $|7, 1000 LOSS
OF ITS BUSINESS PROPERTY
Third Bad Fire in Ten Years Swept
Business Section of Town on
Wednesday at Midnight

On Wednesday night of last week
shortly before midnight Wales had a
fire which totaled to not less than
SIT, 600 of a loss to the business
center of the town. The fire got its
start in the Scott pool room, its
origin being the explosion of a gaso-
line stove which timed its blowing
up to occur just after the last patrons
of the place had left and Mr.. Scott
was in the act of turning the key in
the door and leaving for the hotel to
go to bed. Scott's departure was
hurried by the blaze from the explod-
ed gasoline stove and the wall of
flame that flashed in his direction as
he made a hasty exit. He ran to the
Commercial hotel next door, which
the guests had to leave without time
to collect their belongings. From
the hotel the fire travelled to the
quarters of the Wales Implement
Company, an adjoining property.
These three places constitute the
principal loss, although the heat Of
the fire crossed to the opposite side
of the street and left its scar on the
plate glass fronts of the Liebeler-
Fischer Implement Co., office and the
millinery parlors of Mrs. S. A. Kjose,
the plate glasses of both fronts being
broken by the heat.
The fire of last Wednesday night is
the third to occur in this block in the
past ten years and the fight made by
the fire department, which constitutes
a bucket brigade cannot be otherwise
than highly commended when the
fierce wind blowing from the north.

FIRE BUGS START SECOND
CONFEDERATION At Milton
Furniture Store of C. W, Plain and
Milton Farmers Store Scene of /,
Bad Fire Friday Night

Milton had a fire on Friday evening
of last week that was unquestionably
of incendiary origin and it did a
damage to the town that will figure
up into the thousands of dollars. 1t
is stated as being about eleven clock
when fire broke out in the Plain
furniture store and spread with a
rapidity that at once created a suspi-
cion as to its origin, to the large
stock of merchandise of the Milton
Cooperative Farmers store, in the
adjoining building. The department
fought the fire with such prompt
action that by midnight they had it
under control and practically confined
to the furniture store of Senator
Plain. The stock at the Farmers
store, next door, however. is damag-
ed by water and smoke to probably
the extent of So. ZOO. The fire would
appear to have been started in the
back of the furniture store in which
there is located a large sized tank of
gasoline, Of perhaps 100 gallons
capacity. This warehouse or store
room of the store, when the fire.
men appeared on the scene was a
mass of flames, the mattresses stored
there having evidently been soaked
with the gasoline. The fact that both
of the buildings were constructed of
cement aided in confning the fire. to
where it had its origin.
1t is only about three weeks ago
that another fire of incendiary origin
was started in the town, the Plain
lumber yard being the scene of the
confagration at that time, but for
tunately the blaze that time was
extinguished before it had gained
headway. The loss to stock and
building of the Plain furniture store,
running up into the thousands of
dollars is covered as far as possible
by insurance. The same being true
of the Milton Farmers store, which
for some months past has been operat-
ing under the trusteeship of the
Grand Forks Mercantile Co. The
fact that both of these efforts of the
6rebug in Milton were located on
property owned by Senator Plain
would indicate that some one seems
to be impressed with the idea that he
has grudge against the owner of the
property, who is acknowledged to be
one Of the most public spirited men
the town has and supposed to be with
out single enemy. State Fire
Warden A. H. Rung arrived in Milton
on Saturdays train and lie giving the
matter thorough Investigation.
