WOLF POINT HAS FIRE.

The shrill siren brought the fire
department and many residents out Of
their slumbers at about S o'clock Mon
day morning in response to an alarm
sent in from the Arcade cafe.
The fire, which had a nice start
when discovered, is supposed to have
been caused by live Goals in ashes
dumped against the west wall Of the
building, and had eaten its way well
into the wall before being discover
ed.
The employees of the cafe had smell
ed smoke for about an hour before
they were able to locate its source
1t was at first thought that something
was wrong with the furnace but after
assuring themselves that this was
not the case, the fire was located or
the outside of the building. An alarm
was Immediately sent in and the fire
department responded in a very short
time. 1t was found necessary to use
water in fighting the blaze, but sew
eral small tanks of chemicals wer,
used.
The danger of throwing ashes con
tanning live Goals against anything o.
an inflammable nature at this time O.
the year can not be overestimated ant
greater care is urged by the author

DANIELS COUNTY HAS
ROCKY HIGHWAY AHEAD
Movement Started in ScObey for New
County up North Is Opposed
in Opheim Country.

The proposed county Of Daniels
which is being fathered by the citl-
zens and boosters of Scobey and vi
cinity is to have some rough shedding,
from reports brought down from the
north country.
To counterfeit the movement already
started, citizens of the Opheim coun-
try have formed an association to
promote an opposition county to be
known as Bench county. The Opheim
IObserver covers their side of the
question as follows:
can enthusiastic mass meeting was
held last Thursday evening in the
Mela building to devise ways and
means to head off the proposed county
of Daniels from annexing a part OF
Valley county, which project has been
taking up the time of all Scobey OF
late. 1t seems that Daniels county
would like to take about fifteen town
ships from Valley county, while resi-,
dents of that territory would rather
be in another county formed from the
north half of Valley county than te
go with Daniels county. Therefore
petitions are out against Daniels
county which will doubtless more thar
offset the petitions for it.
The meeting also took up the prop
osition of making a new county out O.
the north half Of Valley county, with
the south line running along the cor
rection line between townships 81 ant
33. It was agreed that the new coun
ty be named Bench county, and a com
mittee of five was elected, with R. c
Arnold as president, to put the count,
idea in motion.
The Bench county boosters organiza
| ton was formed to look after the in
terests of the new county. A subscrip
ton of $25O0 was made up at tn
meeting to defray the expenses o
the workers. A committeeman Wi
be appointed for each precinct to &c
signers to the petition, which will b
presented to the county commission
ers as soon as the desired numbe
of signers are obtained"
