CULBERTSON WON

The local high school basketball
team have a blot on their formerly
spotless banner which will take many
victories to erase.
After brilliant victory over the
Williston quint, the local boys with
visions of admiring friends at home
who would greet them as "conquering
heroes" on their return, stopped off
at Culbertson 70 show the people of
that town the why's and wherefores
of basketball.
But sad 70 relate, their bright vis-
ions of victory came down with jar,
and when the game was over, Gull
bertson was at the long end of 81
to II score.
The boys claim that their defeat
was to be expected, everything con-
sidered, but local fans think that pos
sibly over-confidence and symptoms
of enlargement of the Koko were the
deciding factors, and that they will
have to get down to real work tc
overcome the disaster.

MINES HOLD
MUCH WEALTH
c. O. Lezie Returns From Super
intending Mining Operations
in Colorado

More enthusiastic than ever over
his mining properties in Colorado, Mr..
e. o. Lezie returned to Glasgow
Thursday morning to visit his family
and look after interests here.
During the summer and fall months,
Mr.. Lezie has been experimenting the
development work on the Allard Min
ing company holdings near Mancos
in Montezuma county, Colorado.
The region where the mines of the
Allard company are located is one OF
the richest in minerals in the state OF
Colorado, and claims surrounding the
properties of the local company are
being successfully worked and are big
producers.
If present prospects are any evi
dence of the untold wealth that i.
waiting to be removed from the noun
tain where the Allard claims lie, Glas
gov will have one of the biggest min
ing companies in the west in few
years. Mr.. Lezie states that veins O.
silver and copper have been strucl
and one shipment of silver ore to th'
smelter assayed S12 to the ton. Ther'
are millions upon millions of tons o
this ore and it is easily accessible TO

FIRE DESTROYS
LODGING HOUSE
w. c. Mcintyre Residence Gutted
BY Flames Tuesday Morn
ing

An early morning fire almost COM
pletely destroyed the w. C. Mcintyre
residence on Third avenue south, and
made total loss of the interior fur
nishings.
But for the quick response of the
fire department., which arrived on the
scene with the big truck before the
fire whistle had stopped blowing, the
building would have been razed by
the flames and adjoining property
threatened.
The fire was discovered about a.
m. by Ben Gund, who occupied room
on the second floor. Fortunately, the
other roomers were out, while there
were no lives lost, the occupants had
narrow escapes from being trapped
in the burning building.
On discovering that the building
was afiame, Gund yelled at the top OF
his voice to awaken others, and then
got partly dressed and started to &c
down the stairs, but the flames com
ing up the hallway prevented any exit
and he was forced to go back to hi,
room. The smoke was very dense
and as there was no way for him tt
get out of the burning building ex
cept through the window, Gund de
cided to make the jump. He was un
able to get the window open fa
enough to crawl through, so he kicket
the panes out and jumped to tn
ground. He was badly shaken up b.
the fall, but did not suffer any seri
Gus injuries.

into the house, the officers surrounded
it. Smith, who was in the house, tolt
him to get out, but the wounded ma,
went into the sitting room. He hat
