| Forbes, N. D.. Feb. 1.-THE Farm
ers' elevator here was completely de-
! Stroyed by fire, a large amount of
grain also being consumed.
The wind was blowing from the
northwest at the rate of about fifty
or sixty miles an hour, and nothing
could be done to check the fire.
1t appears the fire started in the
started for the main elevator, driving
from there worked downward, and
flames whirled upwards. 10
At the time Of the fire the elevator
contained about 5000 bushels Of
wheat, and most of II was cleaned for
seed wheat; 1850 bushels of fax; 800
bushels Of rye and $50 bushels Of bar
ley. and in the flour house there was
about 10000 pounds of -four, which is
all total loss. :.
The company carried $1,000 insur-
ance on the grain and $4,000 on the
elevator building. mostly all covered
by insurance.
1t is reported. here that as soon as
the weather permits in the spring a
new elevator will be erected on the
same spot where the old elevator was
located. a<...'
The coal sheds near the elevator
and well filled with coal, were saved,
yet for time it looked as If they
were doomed.
Before the fire spread to the office

saved.

and supplies. In 1877. at Fargo, an
other son was born, John r. Burke,
who is now the Judge Of the Juvenile
court of the Eighth judicial district
of this state. After disposing of his
homestead at a good figure, he moved
on west and located at Tree Claim in
Highland township, Cass county, pur-
chased adjoining lands which he farm
ed while raising cattle and horses on
a large scale. Three more children
came, Emma Jane, who now holds a
chair in Columbia university New
York city; Thomas Henry. who, aft
ed serving four years as states at
torney of Benson county has lately
removed to Hardin, Mont, to continue
in the practice of law. and Minnie
Viola, who, after graduating at the
Valley City normal school and teach
ing at Devils Lake and MiNnewaukan,
became the wife of Roy c. Ellis who
is now q large farmer and grain deal
er at Rosetown Saskatchewan.
In 1893 Mr.. Burke purchased The
Sheldon Enterprise and published the
same for eleven years and many of
the editors of the state and others
will remember his able pen. He serv-
ed for many years as county justice
and for a time was county commits
sioner. After selling his newspaper,
farms and Other hOld1ngS, they renIeo
their beautiful little home in Sheldon
and started to take g. long visit with
their children, but while in Saskatche-
wan Mr.. Burke suffered a partial par
alytic stroke from which he never
fully recovered. They lived for a time
at Minot ana Valley City and Mime
waukan. but last fall returned to the
old home in Sheldon. where he con-
tinued to grow weaker until his death.
The immediate cause Of death was
diabetes. He was conscious to the last
and only q few hours before the end
communicated indirectly with his son
at Minot over the long distance. Wires
were sent to all the children but ow-
ing to the severe snow storm the
daughter from New York, arrived on

points.
Wednesday he was buried from st.

where the SHOWS have wrapped their
mantle over q marble brow Of seventy

BY request of ali of the children a
will had been drawn some time ago

WOULD BUILD DRIVE
Movement on Foot at Hankinson for
Construction of Road Around
Lake Elsie.

Hankinson, N. D.. Feb. IA move
ment has been started for the con-
Rtruction of n driveway around Lake
Elsie. Thus far the plan is only in it's
inception, but A. j. Barker and An
drew INQUIRER. who ewn the west and
north frontages. have offered to donate
the right-of-way across their land.
The matter will be taken up soon with
the owners of the, Hankinson estate,
and IL satisfactory arrangements for
the balance of the right-of way can be
made with them, the project will
doubtless go through.
The plan is for a driveway on the
beach clear around the lake, with a
small bridge across the outlet at the
south end, and the benefits of such a
driveway to motorists and owners of
driving rigs are obvious. 1t would
give motorists the benefit of one of
the most attractive drives in the
state.
If the right-of-way can be secured,
it is believed that the expense of the
work can be secured by donations
from business men and car owners.
Several have already expressed a will
Iingness to give financial assistance
and 1t is thought that nearly everyone
will fall in line for such desirable
improvement.

was taken.

Offices of the association will be found

north of the Union National bank on

or newly papered. new furniture pur-
chased and every convenience Install

Little is known of this lonely dumb
funeral procession to The grave of

that marks his masters resting place.
The dog is now known as the Gene

trustees permit him to go and come as
he sees At and no one now tries to
coax him away. Like the famous Grey

seems likely to spend the rest OF his
life in this same strangely sad nanf1ef.

chemistry he was quite interested to
know what had happened but found
that he was unable to take care OF his
classes that day.
For several days the school was COM

the main item OF interest was who and
how many could get to school through
the tremendous blizzard. A large num-
Der of students kept a clear record OF
attendance in spite Of the weather.
The basketball team that went TO
South Dakota for a series OF three
games was quite badly showed in and
was unable to reach Glendale until
