Frank Fahey, on the west side, was
found to be on fire. The house is
Just about completed for occupancy
the carpenters having finished and
the painters being at work on the
buildingf it is believed that an oily
cloth that the worknlen had left on
the floor Of one Of the rooms was
the cause Of the starting Of the fire
by spontaneous combustion. For.
tunately Mr.. Fahay and wife hap
pened to be at the building when
the blaze broke out. having gone
over to the new house to clean up
after the workmen. and looking in
the window saw the fire. and also
smoke coming out Of the chimney.
Not having q key to the room
where the fire was Frank broke open
. window and got some water on
the blaze, which was just getting
nicely started. and soon had it
extinguihsed. The maple floor on
which the fire started was badly
burned in one room, but the
damage was confined to this and
the injury TO the walls and ceiling
By the smoke. The damage was

"Mothers OF Liberty" has been

nounced patriotism. Those who
have witnessed it pronounce in :
combination Of all three, with love
interest predominating and the
frightfulness Of battle subdued -

from the forcefulness. spectacular
ism and continuity Of the narrative.
Because Of ito complex character
and unusually wide scope, it is cay
to comprehend its universal appeal
to men, women and children alike.

the distressed mother. widow OF "a
American officer slain IN the Span

Contraband Bottled Goods

A. P. Lindquist, who has rooms
on the second floor Of the Van Asch
brick building, on Main street, was
hailed before Justice Bleser on a
charge Of violation Of the liquor
law last week. Two bottles of port
wine were found in Lindquist's po-
session. He maintains that the
wine has not the percent Of alcohol
which would bring it under the law
Of intoxicants. The justice placed
him under $100 bonds to appear be-
fore the district court, while the
wine was sent to the state chemist
for analysis and decision as to its
intoxicating properties.
What happened to be more flag
rant violation of the law resulted in
the arrest Saturday afternoon Of
Henry j. Pfeffer, a brakeman on
the local passenger train which
ends its western trip at this place.
Pfeffer was suspected Of bringing
in liquor from Minnesota, and be-
ing confronted by Deputy Sheriff
Crawford with request to open the

carried the grip to his lodgings. A

when the grip was opened no liquor

The following letter is from Al
tired Fenner one Of our Milbank
boys, who is with a machine gun
company now sta toned at the long
contested town Of Ypres, in Bel
gium:
July 90, 1913.
Dear ones at Home:
Well kid l received both your
letters of July lst and I'd . couple
Of days ago, while at the front.
Gee. it was sue q little exciting,
dodging ferries as we call Fritz's
n. 6. bullets and shells. About
IL or Ia Of his shells struck within
SO yards of our gun and about three
within 10 yds. about the same time.
/ was cramped up in trench 30 that
it took an hour and q half for me
to get Strengthened out again and
every once in a while his M. G.
bullets were flying or rather buzz
ing over our heads and cutting the
grass around. 1t was real inter-
esting, even if q little dangerous.
However, l would rather be at the
front than in rest camp. for while
in the rest camp the bugle or
whistle blows about every five min
utes for you to fall out and do
something.
also saw real air fight only q
little way from US but very high.
Five German planes took after one
of the British. 1t only lasted 2 or
8 min. and the British plane burst
into flames, the wings flew from it
and it went nose downward to the
ground. But while fighting it was
ia sight worth seeing-the speed
they were going and the figures
,, they were cutting in the air. They
say the air men are burnt to q crisp
before they reach the ground and
believe, it for this plane was all
one fire and it must have taken all
of 80 seconds to reach the ground.
This all happened at Ypres BEL
gium). I'll say this must have
been a pretty town, but it is only
brick and stone piles now. There
ISM t q building in it that one can
tell what it was supposed to have
been. And the Germans are still
hammering at it and dropping
bombs. The worst fighting is al
ways at night.
Well, | must close. Give my
best regards to all. | am feeling
fine and expect to go back to the
front soon. Your Brother,
Alfred Fenner.
