FARMERS HOME IS :.
FIRED BY UNkN0WNS

= Buxton. N. D., Sept. 16.-John
Fannom, a farmer living three miles
north. of Buxton, narrowly escaped
being burned to death this morning
when his house and barn were set
on fire.
The blaze appears to have been OF
incendiary origin, nay having been
piled around the outside OF the
building and then ignited.
The unknown incendiary first set
fire to the barn and then attempt
ed to fire the house. In doing so
he broke one of the windows, which
awoke~ Mrs. Lloyd Dietz, lannon's
hOusekeeper.
AS result. the fire at the house
was eXtinguished before it had
gained much headway, but the barn
and sheds were totally destroyed.
Eight horses which were in the
barn at the time were burned to
death. The total loss is estimated
at $6,0OO. ~..-.F 49,.

ROAD CONTRACT

At meeting OF The county com
missioners held on Thursday Of last
week the construction OF 4 h g
the county was let to Schultz Bros.
:, of this city, who expect to start
work Immediately and continueau un.
til they are stopped by the frost,
There were also several other bid,
dersi for the work, but it, seemed
that the, Schultz bays had a little
advantage over the other fellows
for the reason that they had their
outfits within q few miles OF the
new raad to be.sse seonstrueted and
would save the expense Qf moving
5hense could put in a trife lower. bid.
This road will continue east until
1T reaches the bridge on Des Lacs
lake and there will connect with a
federal road to be constructed in
Ward county. While some work
will be done this fall on the. job, it
sprobably won't be completed as far
as Bowbells until some time next
fall. y, $50 .s: \; (, s s;$.
The Schultz boys are old hands
at moving dirt, and have the most
modern equipment procurab bic.
During the past ten or twelve years
they have put in practically all Of
their time during the summer
months, constructing roads. For
several years. they worked on rail-
road construction, but when this
was stopped on account of the war
they put in their time since then on
county and state contracts. They
put in "a federal road a year age
east of sWilliston, and this was. not lt't
completed until last spring. Dur
ing the summer they have had their
outfit at work atssS the coal mines
south Of Colum bus where they have
been moving dirt from the.top Of
the coal vein. Thsy are experts at

SCHOOL HAS BIG En-.
R0LLMENT FIRST DAY

The Bowbells Public Schools op-
ened for the years work Monday
morning. and Superintendent Harry
E. Polk reports the largest enroll
ment in the history of the school
for the opening day. The total
number enrolled Monday night was
243. This exceeds the number en-
tered at the end OF the first month
last year by twenty-three The pu-
pills were distributed through the
different branches Of the school as
follows: The names of the teach
ers of the various rooms are given
following the number enrolled:
First grade "a, Miss Kopriva.
Second grade 27, Mrs. Donovan.
Third grade %. Miss Wigby.
Fourth grade, "a, Miss Hougen.
Fifth grade. 26. sixth grade Is,
Miss Holz.
: Seventh grade 81, Miss Thorson.
Junior High 21, Miss Anderson
and H. S. Faculty.
High School Sc, Miss Perry, Prin-
cipal.
There are a great many boys who
have been kept at home for a week
to help with threshing. and 1t Is
certain that before the end of the
month the enrolment will pass we'll
into the three hundred mark, which
was reached the last month Of school
last year. There will be no nom
attendance reports made for the
first week, but if any pupils who
are within the required age limits
are not in school next week, unless
special excuses are granted by the
superintendent. such pupils will be
reported to the proper authorities.
On account of the crowded con-
dition of the schools last year. 1t
was found necessary to find addi-
tional room this year. and the Pres
byterian church. which will hereaf-
ter be known as the Annex in con-
nection with school, was secured.
For the benefit of parents who have
children attending the Annex, it
may be stated that every possible
means is being taken and will be
taken to make this building as COM
Portable as the MIN building for
the pupils. Storm windows will
be provided, the. siding nailed on
tight and ventilating apparatus in
stalled with the least possible de-
lay.
Mr.. Polk states that the Parent
Teachers Association. which was or
ganized with such success last year,
will be continued this year, and
that the first meeting will be called
just as soon as threshing is about
completed, SO that all parents may
be able to come.

his second wife. whom he married six

They have filed in Florida court
