REPORTS HORSES DYING

smoke was seen coming from the
farmers elevator.
Melvin Holman, John Phelps
and Bud Duval while out for a lit
tie stroll down the track, in pass,
ing the elevator noticed smoke
coming out Of the loading spout.
They made an attempt to enter the
building but found all doors lock-
ed. They then hurriedly sounded
the alarm and in a few minutes TIL,
fire department. was on the scene
and ready for action.
For while it was difficult to
locate the fire owing to the dense
smoke and other instructions UNI
der the building. The tiremen
gained entrance from two sides
and after a few moments spent
securing every nook and corner
under the elevator, coughing and
splitting from smoke and dust, they
finally discovered fire under the
hay which was burning slowly.
The chemical engines were quickly
put into action and the fire was
soon put out.
The wheel on one of the chem
zeal engines ca~ed in as it was
hurricdly wheeled across the track
by the elevator, but this did no:
stop the fire boys from doing eff
fective work. 1t was moved around
on one wheel.
Grin Bergeson reached the elc-
vator in breathless condition. He
was overcome by smoke and for a
few minutes was a terribly sick
man.
Everybody seemed certain that
a fire-bug'' had been here on the
previous night and started the
fire. but after thorough investi-
cation it was found that one OF
the bookings had run hot. The bah
biting had partly melted away
Manager Wynn is absolutely Ger
tain that this is the only cause OF
| the fire and in order to satisfy
himself, he started the engine Mon
day and the boxing became hot
again in very few minutes.
1t was very fortunate thing
that tho fire was discovered a,
soon as it was. Had it not bc,;
chances are that it would hav,
gained such Roadway that it would
have been beyond control and the
buildings would have gone up il
smoke. A Waterman Is now on ~,
job.

MINNESOTA MUST LOOK
TO DAKOTA TO SUPPLY Goa

Bismarck, N. d., Feb. 13.-Min.
nesota is beginning to look toward
North Dakota as probable source
of it's future fuel supply. The St.
Paul Dispatch recently gives
prominence to the following inter
esting article OIL this subject:
''The fuel shortage in the east
ern half of the United States, i'll
which Minnesota has unfortunate

pectcd order of Federal Fuel Al
ministrator Garfield. has tend
ency to call attention to the pract-
ically unlimited supply Of Ignite
coal in North Dakota.

supply. The state has no coal
mines. Its supply of fuel Of that
character must be shipped in.
Formerly the bulk Of it came from
eastern mines, up the lake by boat
with IL relatively short rail haul,
despite the long distance from
the mines. Another source of sup
ply has been the all-rail shipments
from Illinois and Iowa coal fields.
a third possibility is the Ignite
supply Of North Dakota.

sity OF using the entire eastern

this state have not paid sufficier,
