$4,000 fire VISITS
TOWN SATURDAY NIGHT

Medina village was visited by fire
Saturday night about 11:3O, which
destroyed shed belonging to the Me-
dina Oil Co., G. G. Yocum, proprietor,
together with the contents, consisting
of an automobile, auto truck and con
siderable quantity of oils, paints,
soaps, etc., entailing an estimated loss
of $4,000. Neither the building or the
contents were insured. The contents
at one time had been insured, but the
premiums had expired on the follow
ing dates: Stock, June %; automobile,
Aug. 18, and truck, Sept 26, the lat
ter only two days before it's destruc-
tion. ..t
The cause of the fire is unknown, al
though it is the belief Of Mr.. Yocuno
and others that it was of incendiary
origin. This opinion is based on The
| fact that man vas seen proMling
I saal n IA "a
| O'clock, and who ran when discovered
The Yocum family visited the barn
which adjoined the shed, at about
10:45, to see if the horses were all
right, and saw nothing that would in
dicate the trouble that so soon follow
ed.
The fire was discovered almost ST.
multaneously by H. c. West, who with
Mrs. West, was enroute home from
town, and Fred Schmidt. The former
were on West Liberty street and the
latter on West Washington. Mr.. West
hastened to arouse the Yocum FAM
lily, while Schmidt rushed to the fire
station and rang the bell.
The fire department responded with
usual promptness, but were hampered
in not being able to use the old en-
CINE, which is out of repair and soon
to be replaced by a new one. The
chemical engine was quickly brought
into requisition, and the natural pres
sure at the standpipe was the only
source of reliance for the water SER
vice. In spite of this disadvantage
the department achieved amazing re-
suits in that the fire was confined
largely to the shed, which was attach
ed to the barn wherein were confined
four horses, hay, straw, oats and
many other perishable things. The
barn caught fire on the roof and burn
ed so that the hay and grain were
destroyed, but the building itself was
saved. Other buildings nearby were
scorched, but did not ignite.
Owing to the close proximity of
many dwellings, to the Yocum prop
erty and the infammable nature of
the latter's stock in trade, it has al
ways been generally believed that a
fire there would seriously threaten a
very large area. That the fire Sat-
urday night was confined to the one
property was partly due to the fact
that there was scarcely any wind.
Before the arrival Of the fire de-
partment several men among the first
to reach the fire rescued the four
horses from the barn. The animals
were greatly excited and it was with
considerable difficulty that one of the
horses could be made to come out.
The barn is insured for $500.

ORDER FOR IS MEN
OFFICIALLY CANCELLED

The county draft board received a
telegram last Friday from the War
Department, cancelling Order No.
1855, which called for IS men to en-
train for Camp Sherman on Oct. Z.
The telegram gave no reason, but it
seems probable that the epidemic of
influenza and pneumonia there at the
present time may have had much to
do with it.
The board has received no further

Production of copper by the Kenne- colt Copper Corporation in May amounted to 10,l62.000 pounds, of which 3.4oi.000 pounds came from Alaska and 6.75s,000 pounds from South Africa.
 The application of the Butte and Su- perior Copper Company for a writ of certiorari In the case brought against the Clark Montana Realty Company and the Elm Orlu Mining Company has been denied by the Supreme Court of the United States. This suit was brought in the Circuit Court of Ap- peals for the ninth circuit to quiet title to a mining claim and to certain ore bodies for an accounting. The patent to the mining claim in controversy was issued to the Elm Orlu company in 1884 and subsequently was bought by the Clark Montana Company. The action of the Supreme Court vests con trol of the property in the Clark Mon tana Company.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN FRANCE, June 24.-Ideal
weather that is almost
unprecedented continues on the
west front, yet there is nothing
more serious than the continuous
jostling for position.
There is nothing more to delay
Hindenburg's next thrust in the
west. The Austrian offensive,
scheduled to fill in the pause on
the Franco-British front, was ex-
pected to serve as heartener, but
it was precisely the reverse.
While on a recent visit to
Paris I was told by a certain per-
sonage from Switzerland that Ger
man public opinion is becoming
exasperated at Hindenburg's de-
lay.
Plain spoken Germans are
calling the campaign a fall
ure, he said, pointing out the
army has failed to reach
any of the promised vital
points.
A desperate attempt to redeem
the German fall-down is expected
shortly. German soldiers for
merly held prisoner in Russia
have arrived on the west front.
Others are being rapidly brought
in, following a brief leave.

BRAVERY
BY TWIN
NATIONS
,peciaI Ia The Times. J


LONDON, June 24.-De-
tails are just reaching LON
don OF the hopeless fight
against tremendous odds now
being waged by our forgot
ten allies, the twin republics
OF Dagestan and Transcau-
casia.
Transcaucasia is the hard.
est hit. being opposed by
Turkish armies on the west
and hostile Tartars on the
east, with the northern from
tier given over TO BOlshevik
anarchy, and retreat into
neutral" Persia cut off by
the Turkish occupation of
the Persian city of Tabriz.
These two republics are the
sole remnants of the former Rus
sian empire that have not con-
cluded a German peace or quit
the field in exhaustion.
Transcaucasia is composed Of
Armenians and eGorgians, who
united against the common enemy
when much Of their territory was
surrendered to the Turks by the
Bolshevik government at the
Brest-Litovsk conference. The
Armenians and Georgians re-
fused to recognize the right of
the Bolsheviki to surrender their
lands.
Turks Attack Republics.
Enver Pasha and Talaat Pasha
Immediately sent Turkish armies
against the combined Georgian
and Armenian armies, who were
really the same armies that had
carried the Russian flag into
Asiatic Turkey under the leader
ship of Grand Duke Nicholas.
Deserted by their Bolshevik
Russian comrades, the armies of
the new republic were slowly
driven east and north into their
own territory.
At the same time the Baku
Tartars, Mohammedans and
Turkish sympathizers, who were
always unruly under the cars
sway, turned against the Geor-
CLANS and Armenian Christians,
and started massacres of I'M
armed villagers in the eastern
parts of Transcaucasia.
Parts Of the Transcaucasian
army were removed from the
Turkish front to stop the Tartar
massacres.
The Turks meanwhile invaded
Persia, which is helpless to pro-
test, and effected junction with
the Tartars in northern Persia
near Tabriz.
Aids Twin Nation.
The republic of Dagestan lies
on the north side of the Caucasus
mountains, adjoining Transcau-
casia. This republic was formed
by revolt of the mountaineers
against the republic Of Kuban,
ruled by Cossacks, which had been
proclaimed as an Independent ma
ton after the Bolshevik revolu-
ton.
Dagestan has sent small de-
tachment of fighting men to aid
Transcaucasia, but most of them
have remained at home to await
possible attacks by the Kuban
Cossacks, who may attempt to
reassert their sovereignty over
the Dagestanese.
The people of Dagestan are
Mohammedans, their president
being Colonel Tchermoev, for
merly of the Russian army. De-
spite their religion they appear
friendly to the Christians Of
Transcaucasia. At a conference
Of the Dagestan, Georgia and Ar
menian national councils in Dage-
stan, a Mohammedan sheik, Maj
mudin, tried to arouse his people
to a holy war" against the
Christians. This attempt was
frustrated by President Tcher-
moev, who denounced it as in
sulting to the Mohammedan re-
ligion.
