MOSCOW FIRE LOSS
BELIEVED A RECORD
STATISTICAL REPORT SHOWS
LOSS FOR YEAR LESS THAN
FIFTY CENTS EACH.

What is believed to be low record
for the entire northwest for fire loss
es during 1920 is claimed by Moscow
citizens. Announcement is made to-
day that with population of 1856,
as shown by the federal census of
1920, the fire loss in Moscow for
1920 was but S1,924, or less than so
cents per capita.
The announcement was made after
an investigation by the fire depart
ment in which every item Of loss dur
ig the year was made. The instiga-
ton for this investigation was the
publication of reports from Pullman
showing that the loss there had been
$40 per capita in four months, as
compared with total loss for a year
in Spokane, of $2.16 per capita.
Carl Smith, fire chief, began an in
vestigation and got figures from
every fire in Moscow during the past
year and found the total loss was
1924. "This is not an estimate, but
the actual loss, for I got the exact
figures from all property owners who
suffered fire losses during 1920" said
the fire chief.
Chief Smith pointed out that mis-
which is purely volun-
teer, having no paid members, de-
votes more time and attention to fire
than to fire fighting. For
three years Moscow has claimed the
northwest record for low fire losses.
In 1919 the loss was less than $4,000,
or less than 81 per capita. During
the past three years there has not
been building in Moscow totally
destroyed by fire, a record believed
to be unique for town the size Of
which covers an area large
enough for a town of $4,000 inhabit-
ants.
Much credit is due Chief Smith and
lis splendid organization of fire
lighters. They have done remark |
able work and their efforts have, no I
loubt, saved thousands of dollars to !
Moscow property owners. Every
member of the six companies is said
% be an efficient fire fighter and the
nen always respond promptly to an
llarm.

DEFENDANTS HELD
TO DISTRICT COURT
LESTER BERRY MUST STAND
TRIAL FOR THREATENING
TO KILL BROTHER.

For alleged threats to kill his
brother unless the latter produced
5000 before 2 o'clock, accompanying
the threat with a menacing gesture
with his brothers revolver which he
had taken and loaded, Lester Berry
must stand trial before jury in the
district court. Judge Adrian Nelson,
Of the probate court, held Berry to
the district court in $1,000 bond,
which he was unable to furnish and
she is now in the county jail.
The preliminary hearing before
Judge Nelson brought out additional
facts to those given when the arrest
was made several days ago. The evil
dence showed that the trouble arose
over the attention of Lester Berry,
an ex-soldier, 20 years of age, to the
wife of his older brother, Henry, with
whom Lester had made his home for
several months, and that Lester Sc
cured a revolver owned by his BROTH
ser, took it down town, secured box
Of cartridges for it, buckled it about
his body and "sneaked around the
house" when Henry and his wife were
talking it over"
Lester was invited into the consul
ltation and agreed to leave his
brothers home and Moscow upon
payment of 5000, but he presented
he gun, pointed it at his brother and
declared he would kill he latter un-
less he 5000 was produced before
2 o'clock" that afternoon. Those who
heard the evidence at the preliminary
hearing predict that the real trial
will result in some sensational evil
dence. "It will be bad one, when it
comes to he trial." said G. L. Sum
merfield, the deputy sheriff who
made the arrest and declares that
Lester Berry attempted to draw his
gun when the warrant was served.
George Rowland and Harry Egg
land, arrsted some time ago for al
legged possession of Intoxicating
liquor, were also given a preliminary
hearing. The defendants were repre-
sented by Judge J. H. Forney. They
introduced no evidence but Judge
Forney submitted statutes and de-
cisions upon which he asked that the
cases be dismissed After studying !
these for time Judge Nelson re-
fused to dismiss the cases and held i
the defendants to the district court. /
A jury term is expected to be called |
Monday, January II and these cases
will probably be called at that term.

MUST QUARANTINE
FOR WHO0P|NG COUGH
HEALTH OFFICER LEITCH IS
SUES WARNING--MANY CASES
IN MOSCOW NOW.

That cases of whooping cough, of
which there are scores, if not hun
dreds of cases in Moscow now, must
be quarantined is the announcement
made by DR.. F. M. Leitch, city health
officer. DR.. Leitch says he has been
informed that there are many cases
of this disease in town and that chill
dren having it are permitted to run
about the neighborhood and thus ex-
pose others.
The state health laws class whoop-
ing cought with chickenpox, measles
and Spanish influenza and requires
isolation where possible. but where
isolation is not possible, quarantine
must be inforced. DR.. Leitch has is
sued the following statement:
Must Quarantine The Cases
"There appears to be very gen
eral misunderstanding among the
citizens as to the requirements of the
quarantine laws as regards certain
diseases. After enumerating all the
diseases subject to quarantine the
amended law reads as follows: Pro-
vided however, that in the case of
measles, chickenpox, whooping cough,
and the disease commonly known as
Spanish Influenza or either Of them
the patient suffering from the dis
ease shall be isolated and if isolation
of the patient is not practicable, then
the premises in which such patient
resides shall be placed under quaran-
tine
"Whooping cough is not simple
harmless disease, as many young
children die from it, and many others
suffer from living complications
leading to serious diseases later in
life. Every case of whooping cough
should be promptly reported.
