LOCKWOOD FAMILY MADE
HOMELESS BY FLAMES

About six o'clock Friday
morning fire started in the home
of Mr. and Mrs, Geo. Lockwood
in the southeast corner of town
from an overheated stove pipe
and the family was forced to flee
to the barn where they remained
until assistance arrived. They
had no means of giving the
alarm and it was not until Geo.
Meader saw the flames bursting
through the roof and ran to the
home of T. M. Major to phone in
the alarm that the citizens we're
aroused. By the time the fire
boys arrived the structure was
a heap of glowing embers.
According to all reports. Mr.
Lockwood got up and started
the fire and was then waiting
for the room to warm up before
calling the rest Of the family.
The stovepipe ran through the
roof of the building and there
was no protection around it.
The first thing they knew after
that the place was in flames and
they barely had time to escape.
When assistance arrived yari-
Gus pieces of clothing were do.
mated and the fire victims were
taken to the Frank Gray home
AS the thermometer registered
81 degrees below they suffered
severely from the cold.
A relief committee was or
ganized at once and funds were
raised to take care of the family
until they could get on their feet
again, and the ladies of the city
started to work making bedding
and clothing for them.
This is the third time in nine
years that the Lockwoods have
been burned out. The first time
was in 1908 when the "Beehive'
burned, the second time was in
1910 when they lived over the
garage south of the First Ma
tional Bank which was des.
troyed at the time the post Of
flee burned. They saved their
household goods at this fire but
had to find a new home.
I Hard luck seems to have trailec
these people for some time, bu'
as the old saying goes, "Thref
, times aud OUT things may
change for the better now.

TAKES SECOND OF
SEASON FROM CASSElTON

Hope defeated Casselton for
a second time this season by q
score of % to 33 Saturday after
noon on the local floor.
Casselton played hard but
could not secure their baskets
when opportunity offered, nor
could they keep track of Stevens
who secured seven field goals
from very difficult positions.
A big feature of the game was
the guarding of both Mcclellan
and Ray for Hope, only three
baskets being secured by Glass;
elton's two forwards during the
game. In the first half Hope
completely outplayed their op-
ponents, the score being % to 9
at the end of that period. In
the second half Casselton took a
new lease of life and scored II
points while Hope scored 10.
Casselton's shooting in this half
was noticably poor. English
was Casselton's best point getter
scoring five field goals.

Money Talks

TO be sure money talks, especially money that is
actively employed. Money that is idle is money asleep
and money doesn't talk in its sleep.
If you could hold all the money that passes through
your hands it would be a fine thing for YOU. but if
everybody else followed the same plan where would YOU
get yours? The place for money is in a reliable bank,
safe but subject to your check. Hoarding money
takes it out of circulation, and it is constantly liable to
be loss Money on deposit talks, and the things it
SAYS to you are security, comfort, satisfaction" We
invite you to open an account with us.
