FARM HOME BURNS

Fire originating from an I'M
known source, broke out in the
farm home of Mrs. Catherine
Schubert of COtter creek, last
Saturday forenoon, burning the
entire building, together with
all it's contents.
1t happened that Mrs. Schubert
and her daughter were over at
Duffy Wendt's at the time of the
fire, and the boy was working
out in the field, SO that there
was no one at home to even try
and put out the fire.
The fact that all Of the folks
were away, and not a thing
saved makes it a sad case, as
there were many hundreds of
dollars worth of goods burned
up, including a fine new piano,
besides many smaller articles
and relics that can never be re-
placed.

i'll one of the stacks and spread
SO rapidly that the separator
caught fire and was ruined, to-
getner with about rs bushels
OF flax. The separator belonged
to Olaf Vinsand.
Cause of fire is said to be
sparks fro mthe engine, or poss-
IDLY from a cigarette stub.
fhis is indeed hard luck. In
the first place Messrs. Lehman
and O'Keefe did not get their
flax threshed last fall, owing to
the early snowstorm, and when
they finally did get a machine
on the place to thresh the grain,
they meet with the misfortune
stated above.

SHERIFF p. j. NACEY
BUYS BLOODHOUND

Introducing an innovation fol
this part of the country, Sheriff
P. J. Macy of Roosevelt county
has purchased a full blooded
bloodhound to use in connection
with his office. The animal was
purchased from a famous breed
er in Waterloo, Iowa, and cost
Macy 5000. The dog was pur-
chased byNacey personally, but
will be used in county work
tracing criminals and running
down trails, a few days before
the dog was taken from it's
home she pulled off a clever
piece of work by running down
two people who had robbed a
hardware store in a small town
near Waterloo. The incident
caused quite a sensation. The
dog which is female, was
put on the scent the morning
after the robbery. 1t was hard
job, for the scent was cold, but
the animal got busy at once and
after racing about the streets of
the town for awhile pulled up
at the home of two middle aged
people who had always been
held in the highest regard.
Thinking that the animal must
be, wrong she was taken back
to the store adm started over the
trail for the second time, but
after goign through the same
performance she pulled up at
this same house and refused to
go any further. The authorities
became active after the second
trial and much to their surprise
finally secured an admission of
guilt from the people whom the
dog had run down.
The animal has a puppy
which has been purchased by
Deputy Sheriff Kirk Kellogg of
Wolf Point. Nacey's new dog
answers to the name of 'eDarl-
ing" and seems to be well train
ed. She is a little frightened yet

Here On Telephone Matters

The residents of the Weldon
country had a meeting the fore
part of the week to take up the
matter of getting a telephone
line to Circle, and a committee
consisting of T. F. McGurren,
Andrew Aam and VIM. McMill-
an was delegated to confer with
Circle on the proposition.
Wednesday they met with the
publicity committee of the
Circle Commercial Club, and the
matter of a telephone line to
Weldon was discussed from all
angles. 1t will take about 25
miles of line to reach Weldon
by going UP Horse creek, and
the estimated cost would be
about $4,000 to put up a good
substantial line that would give
satisfactory service.
1t was decided at the meeting
that the publicity committee CO.
operate with the Farmers &
Ranchers Telephone Company
and have a line built to that
neighborhood. The committee
will also canvass the territory
in a few days to see which
would be the most feasible
route and ascertain how many
stockholders could be secured
along the line.
If it will be possible to finance
the line this year it is very i'm
portant that something be done
soon as possible SO that 1t could
be built before snow flies, as 1t
is needed in the winter time
most Of all.

GERMANY MAY Be
]. admitted. Of n.

Paris June g. The move
ment to admit Germany to the
League of Nations is due mainly
to the desire to avoid the pOssi-
bility of the formation of anOth-
er group composed of rival
powers, which would embrace
Germany, Russia and the old
TeutOnic group.
Evidences have reached con-
ference leaders that influences
are at work in Germany and
Russia to establish relations as
a basis for a combination of
powers not in the league. While
not regarded as imminent, it
was felt the danger of such com
bination would be always pre-
sent while Germany was outside
the league, and the admission of
Germany therefore, was recon-
mended as means of subject
ing her to the same obligations
as the allies under the League
of Nations.
Less Danger inside
This statement was chiefly in
strumental in the unanimous
decision of the British, French,
Americans and Italian members
of the league committee con-
ce1ning the conditions on which
Germany may be admitted.
