persons who endcavored to send in the

connection until the fire had gained
considerable headway. The two small
frame buildings were completely des-
troyed. and in the Wittenbach build
ings the stairway was burned away
leaving no means Of entering the build

A. 7. nelson SUCCUMBS
BATHING in SOAP LAKE

A. T. Nelson, aged 81 years, well
known resident of this city, died early
Saturday morning at Soap Lake,
Washington, while bathing in the lake.
Death was due to cerebral hemorr-
hage.
Mrs. Nelson was with her husband
in the water, which at that place was
little more than knee deep, and MOTTO
ing that something was wrong, rushed
to him, just as he sank into the water.
She raised him up and called for help
He was at once taken from the water,
but was dead before the shore was
reached, death evidently having been
almost instantaneous.
Other members of the family were
notified at once, and the body was
prepared for shipment, arriving in
this city Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Nelson and his family, consist
ing of the wife, five sons and one
daughter, moved from Minnesota to
Moscow in 1912, Mr. Nelson being en-
gagged in the piano business for
number of years after coming here,
and retiring from active business
some five years ago. He was the
owner of considerable property in
Moscow, among his holdings being the
building on Main street occupied by
the j. G. Penney company.
The children are H. F. and e. A.
Nelson, lone, Wash; R. T. Nelson,
Mankato, Minnesota; c. e. Nelson,
Henning, Minnesota; John Nelson, at
home and Mrs. Frank E. Thomas, La
Grande, Oregon.

afternoon at o'clock from the Short
parlors, the Rev. E. Bur-
ton, pastor of the Baptist church, con-
Quoting the service.

LATAH COUNTY MEN IN
RICH MONTANA OIL FIELD

]. A. Harsh returned Monday from
Shelby, Mont, says the Latah County
Press. He brings encouraging re-
ports from the oil fields, and states
that the Potlatch Oil & Refining COM
pany is running oil into the pipe line
right along. The largest of the COM
pany's wells, Baker No. 3, is produc-
ing 1000 barrels daily. The Potlatch
is now one of the largest companies
in the field, having recently bought
up all of the Troy-Sweet Grass hold
ings and thereby getting control of
about $4,000 acres of the choicest oil
land in the field. A consideration
of the purchase of the Troy-Sweet
Grass holdings was that holders of
stock in the Potlatch Oil & Refin-
ing company were to receive without
cost the same number of shares they
held when the deal was made. These
stock certificates were distributed
from the company's office last week.
Mr.. Harsh has unlimited faith in
the future of the field. The country
is dotted with hundreds of derricks
and new areas are being proven each
month.
