SHOWER FOR MISS
BOURGEOIS FRIDAY

Showers! Showers One would
think it was June instead of October.
Surely Cupid has had quite number
of victims this month, one of them
being Miss Carmelite Bourgeois,
whose marriage to J. H. Parish,
prominent young man of this city,
will take place some time in Noven-
Der.
Miss Bourgeois was quite surprised
Friday night when she was taken to
the home of Misses Ruby and Pearl
Moak, where about forty-five girls
awaited her arrival.
The house was decorated with
hearts and cupid dolls, and each
table represented something concern
ing the romance of Miss Bourgeois,
such as love making, the victim, cupid
with his bow and arrow and best OF
all, the sea of matrimony. The good
ship Carmelite was placed in water
and ready to sail. Then each guest
was asked to answer questions re-
garding the romance of Miss Bour-
geOis, each answer to end with the
word ship, such as, What was popular
between the courtship, etc.
French Walnuts were then passed TO
each guest and upon opening them
slips of paper were found, telling
their future success. The ring being
found by Miss Bourdreaux, the thin
Bile by Miss Ruth Bateman and the
penny by Miss Katie Bender.
Following the serving of refresh
ments a sLrill whistle was blown by
the little postman, Master Carey
Moak, who appeared with his post
man wagon loaded with pretty and
useful gifts for the young lady who
as fortunate enough to in a whole
"Parish" for her own.

Four Families
Homeless By Fire

Four families were left homeless
as the result of fire that broke out
Monday night at midnight in the
home of Cliff Reed, on 807 Ave. G..
The conflagration completely destroy
ed the house owned by the Columbia
Land and Development Company, oc-
cupied by the Reed family and dam
aged the two houses on either side to
such an extent that they cannot be
occupied.
occupied. Damage is estimated at
about $4,000, the buildings alone be-
ing insured.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by a lamp exploding in the
bath room of the Reed home. Mr..
Reed stated that it was customary for
them to set lamp in the bath room
which connected the room of Mrs.
Reed and himself with the back room
where their 9-year-old daughter, Lily,
slept.
The family of Paul Roussett, resid-
ing on the south side of the Reed
home, were the first to notice the
flames, the back end Of the build
ing being enveloped, and by their
united efforts in crying and hammer
ing on the doors and windows awak-
ened the Reed family. Mr.. and Mrs.
Reed were forced to crawl from the
house on their hands and knees, the
upper part of the dwelling being al
ready on fire. Their daughter, who
barely escaped being trapped in the
rear room was burnt slightly.
The frenzied neighbors delayed
several minutes turning in the alarm
and as a result the buildings on eth
er side were afire when the fire truck
arrived, one of the trucks laid up in
the station for repairs could not be
taken out, and the other slipped a
chain under the mill on Fourth street
en- route to the fire, delaying the
progress several minutes.
The building on the north side of
the burning house occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Ben Brown and two-year-old
baby, and Mrs. J. B. Hughey and two
grown children, was badly burned,
and only about half of the contents
saved.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roussett and family,
with the assistance of the volunteer
firemen who arrived on the scene be-
fore the regular firemen were able to
save practically all of their posses
sions, only a piano being scorched by
the heat, the entire side and roof near
est the fire, however, was burned.
It was impossible to save single
article in the Reed home, the family
being forced to crawl from the house
in their night clothes. Mr.. Reed,
formerly a blacksmith in the Kreat
Southern shops, has been i'll and un-
able to work for about FL months.
The family were brought to the home
of Mrs. Reeds sister, Mrs. Henry
Smith, on Huron avenue, where they
were cared for the balance of the
night.
One Of the many items that made
for the delay in the arrival of the
firemen was the fact that the neigh.
| bors in their excitement forgetting
about the proximity of the alarm
boxes wasted many minutes awaken.
ing residents who had phones so that
the alarm could be turned in, while

ROAD WORK FINISHED
IN GALLATIN CANYON
Contract For Work Above Karst's
Finished Adding Nearly Eight
Miles to Completed Highway

Practically eight miles of the new
road construction has just been COM
pleted on the West Gallatin road on
the Gallatin Way to Yellowstone
park. This roadwork was contracted
for last spring, and was started the
latter part of August. Lindgren,
Peterson & Thornton, of Forsyth,
who were the contractors, bid on
five and one-half miles, but found
it possible to finish the added mile
age, due to the lower cost of con-
struction work than was estimated.
The work in the canyon is consid-
cred the heaviest done this year and
has added greatly to the Tightening
of grades. One particular stretch
known as the Lost Creek grade, has
been greatly reduced, and the three
new bridges of steel construction are
big improvement on former ones.
The roadwork was inspected by J.
T. Patterson, chief highway engi-
neer of the bureau of public roads;
Fred H. THEM, district engineer for
the forestry service; Berg w. Clark
supervisor of the Gallatin forest re-
serve; R. J. Hale, resident engineer
of the bureau of public roads, to
gether with j. E. Moore, chairman
of the board of county commission
ers, and George Darlington, county
commissioner. After making g
thorough inspection of the work, il
was accepted.
This adds zone more link in the
long chain of roadwork being done
in Gallatin county, over which there
is so much travel, not only by those
living in that section, but the large
number of tourists passing to anC
from Yellowstone park by way o.
the Gallat;n canyon.

had each purchased a pint Of moon
shine whisky, at what he called Bob's
place. He did not know the last
name of the proprietor. On the way
Walters drank nearly all of his pint,
but DeBroff did not touch the pint
he had.
Walters, according to the testi-
mony of DeBroff, was unable to han
die the car properly, and when cross
ing the bridge just outside of Man
haitian had struck the siderail and
torn off one of the hub caps on the
rar. The car went across the bridge
and started to leave the road, head
ed for the ditch. Walters seemed to
try to turn the car into the road, but
was unable to handle it, resulting in
the car skidding and turning over,
landing upside down in the ditch. To
protect himself when he saw the car
was about to turn over, DeBroff
stated, he crouched down below the
windshield and was able to crawl out
from under iis. His Shoulder was
bruised, he stated. He found Wal
ters was pinned under the car in
about ten inches of mud, and nearly
/ 18 inches of water He made an eff
fort to pull Walters out, but could
not move him. Calling for help
several men came from the ranch
house near by, and together they
lifted the car and removed Walters
A physician had been sent for, who
arrived in a few minutes and made
an examination, and pronounced Wal
ters dead.
