MILL AND 5 ELEVATORS
DESTROYED AT SIDNEY

One of the most destructive con-
fagrations in Sidney and in eastern
Montana occurred last night when
the Russell Miller Milling Company S
mill and two elevators were totally
destroyed by fire. The fire was first
discovered shortly after eight o'clock
in the top of the middle elevator,
and while the fire department re-
sponded promptly and every affort
on the part of the mill employees
with their fire apparatus was used,
all efforts were futile and the loss
The local fire department was handi-
capped as the water mains were not
close enough SO that their hose would
reach the scene and they were help
less. When it was discovered that
all efforts to save the mill and eleva-
tors was useless, attention was given
to nearby buildings and at one time
the Farmers elevator, located across
the track from the mill and about $50
feet away, caught on fire from the
sparks of the fire, and due to the eff
forts of V. Johnson, Rev. Nelson
and A. Miller, who ascended to the
top of the elevator and broke through
the roof, this elevator was saved fran
destruction as the fire had gained
good headway when they reached it..
The loss is not only great one to
Sidney but the entire county will suf
fer, as through this industry the
wheat prices were always at the high
est point and it meant thousands of
dollars to the farmers. About $780,,
900 worth Of wheat was destroyed,
and it, together with the mill and
elevators, was fully covered with in
surance We have not learned yet
whether the mill will be rebuilt but
it is very likely that it will.-Sidney

of the thrills that belong to modern
college life. The hazing administer

goes to lengths that would appear to

Judson writes that last Wednesday
night all of the first year men were
grabbed and taken uptown to hotel
where they were required to goin and
sing songs; others sang solos to bev-
les of young women or climbed lamp
posts and attempted to blow out e.

But those were merely preliminar-

consisted in making the victims run
the gauntlet between long lines of ef-
fete sophomores who each was arm
ed with an instrument of torture in
the form of stout paddle. AS they
passed, the portion of each freshman
that came last received a stinging
blow from every paddle. The lines
were two blocks long and the punish

came through with blood-stained

Mr.. Wigtil had something of a
constructive nature to offer concern
ing a more stable local market for
potatoes. He said that the farmers
in this territory had raised quite
large acreage of potatoes and the
yields were turning out excellent,
many farmers reporting crops of 500
bushels or more. He said the stores
were already filed and farmers We're
bringing potatoes to town and find

The Game
"Wolf Point won the toss and e
lected to defend the east goal. Phil
ips for Wiliston kicked off, but the
Wolf Point boys lacked the punch to
push the ball into their opponents
territory, and from then on were al
most constantly on the defensive.
The Williston team tore large
holes into the visitors lines at Will
and apparently dazed them with the
speed and precision with which they
executed their maneuvers.
"Time and again, when the visit
ors' defense seemed to stlffen, they
were overwhelmed by the superior
teamwork and crashing onslaughts OF
the Williston backs and more than
lost whatever advantage had been
gained.
"Only once during the entire con
test were the visitors able to place
the ball in the mid-feld, when, dur
ing the second period the locals fun
bled the ball and Wolf Point recover
ed it Just within Wilhston's territory
and advanced to the 39-yard me.
At this point Williston's defense stlt-
fened and the visitors, being unable
to make their required yardage, the
ball went to their opponents, who I'M
mediately drove it back into Won
Point territory and across the Won
Point goal.

prominent part in his life than she, his
wife and the mother of his children.
