CAUGHT BY PRAIRIE FIRE
MAN LOSES AUTOMOBILE
Hedsed in by Wall Of Flame on All
Sides Braddock Citizen Has
Marrow Escape.

Braddock. - Hedged in by wall of
fame, Ed. Hydahl living near Brad
dock, turned or full speed and headed
his car for the blazing barrier. The
intense heat stalled his car, but the
machine had carried him far enough
to permit him to escape with his life,
although his face and hands were ter
ribly burned. Only the fact that he
wore thick glasses saved his eyes.
Hydahl was assisting neighbors in
fighting bad prairie fire. He had
run to we'll with his car to bring
back a barrel of water, when he found
himself completely surrounded by the
blaze. There was nothing to do but to
run through it, which Mr.. Hydahl did.
The car was destroyed.

MR. sHELDONs PLATFORM

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 Having been solicited by a number of voters and tax payers Of Douglas to permit my name Co go on the ticket for councilman and having been nominated at the late caucus, l have decided to be a candidate for the position.
 ! realize that the incoming coun- cn will have difficult row to hoe; that it will require rigid economy to meet the situation that will be confronted and that our resources will be heavily taxed to meet condi- tIons as they will confront us.
 The City Dock must be maintained and supported as 1t is one Of our assets from which a good income is derived The tax situation must be looked after most carefully in order that the people may not be bur dcucd.
 The sewer system Of the town is in bad condition and will require repairs. the streets must be main taincd in as good shape as is com mensurate with our means, but the most important of our public insti- utions is our public school, and l promise. if elected, to render it an the assistance in my power, for, in my opinion, our first duty is Co see that the boys and girls Of this town are given every facility for acQuir- ing that which will make Of them useful men and women.
 Realizing that conditions as they now exist in the native village on the beach are disgrace Co our fair city, and Co the natives as well, there being many good men and women among them, I pledge myself, in the event of my election, to exert myself Co bettering, cleaning up and clean ing out that section m Order lhal the native children may be given bet ter opportunities for acquiring good training and education that will en- able them to become more desirable residents.
 am not asking the support of the voters unless they deem me capable of we'll and faithfully discharging Che duties of the position. I can only say that, lf you honor me with your votes, I will do my duty as | see lt and will not be ruled by any clique or gang; | shall forget personal desires and advantages and work for a Greater and Better Douglas, giving ! the citys needs the same careful at- tention I give my own business. l favor letting all work by contract to the lowest responsible bidder. have Inc ax to grind. no favors to show, Inc pledges to break, no strings to |untie. and will have none if elected.
 Respectfully, T. P. SHELDON.
