| new APPARATUS
TESTED At A FIRE
New Truck Makes Quick Run
and Saves. Sash & Door 7
Factory from Ruin.

A blaze in the wooden exhaust stack
from the crude oil engine at the Will;
mar Sash and Door Factory was the
reason for a call on the fire depart
ment last Thursday afternoon and
gave an opportunity for our fire lad
dies to put Willmar's new fire truck
to its first practical test. In less than
seven minutess=after the alarm was
turned on at the fire station the de-
partment had a stream of water on
the blaze, and in a half a minute had
the fire under control. =
AS luck had it, the fire was confined
only to the exhaust drum and the dam
age done was not great. -
Chief Selvig was not home at the
time of the fire but reports that the
boys claim the new engine worked like
a charm. John Williams, an honor
ary member Of the fire department,
and one OF pioneer fire fighters from
Willmar's early days seemed pleased
with the new apparatus and the way
it was handled. He said that he was
walking toward the fire when the
truck loaded with f1remen came
wow-oo-weeing by him at Fourth St.,
and when he arrived at the Sash and
Door factory the boys had already a
stream playing on the fire.. Some
stream too, for three men had all they
could do to handle the nozzle.
The department has held by-weekly
drills with the new machine since its
arrival, and now after the cold wealth
er has set in, according to Chief Sci:
Wig, will continue with one indoor
drill every week to make themselves
thoroughly familiar with the new ap
paratus and its features.

From a barefoot Minnesota country
boy to a Hawaiian baron, living in ex-

late Queen Eiliuokalani, is the TO-
nance of Luger Belliveau, who in 1898
left LIE Sueur, Minn., to join the coast
artillery in the Philippine campaign,
is the story told by the St. Paul Pio-

Bellievau and his wife, formerly
Princess Kiluohanalani, whose heart
he won when he saved her from
drowning, were named heirs to the
100000 fortune of the last of Hawaii's
queens and her rolling estates, scat

nearly twenty years until the news of
his legacy was received here.
Luger Belliveau joined the colors
when the Philippine trouble became
acute. He fought in number of bat

At the Hawaiian capital at that
time was the young widow of Repre-:

it was not until he had saved her
from drowning that she seemed to fav-

were married..
Since that time he has lived in Ha'
