ELEVATOR BURNS DURING BLIz.
ZARD

The Occident elevator, located near
the Milwaukee water-tank in the south
end of town, burned to the ground
Tuesday evening in the midst of the
worst blizzard of the year and in fact,
the woss. blizzard~for several years.
John P. sclotS the manager of the
elevator was working in his office
when the roof caught fire from the
stove. He attempted to summon aid,
but could not get to the telephone, so
decided to get busy at saving the
books and records of the concern.
Very shortly after the fire started,
flames were shooting out of the roof
of the building, the heavy east wind
driving them through the building as
though it were a chimney. A car of
wheat, which had just been loaded,
was burned, the heat preventing it's
removal. Considerable wheat and
some flour was burned.
Another Alarm
The second fire alarm during the
storm came yesterday about noon
when the roof of the Ray Coonen
house in West Linton caught fire. The
flames were extinguished before any
great damage was done.

The Fargo Courier News is
out with the claim that Town
ley has promised to provide
money. to pay all league debts
if the league will put over his
balance of -power" scheme,
which is claimed to be a
means of throwing the leag-
ue support to McCGmber for.
reelection. "A fortnight ago,
Townley at Fargo, announced
he was going to Nebraska. A
couple of days later he show
ed up in Washington. The
Courier News contends it was
en- that trip Townley got his
promise Of unlimited funds.
It is generally admitted
that McCumber is highly sat
istfactory to the eastern f.
nancial interests, and that
they want him retained as
chairman Of the powerful f.
nance committee of the US.
Senate. It will not be at all
surprising if a vast campaign
fund is thrown into North
Dakota to secure McCumber's
reelection. In the light of
such probabilities it is not
impossible that the Courier
News has 2 pretty gosd hunch
as to what Townley is up to.
