BelvieW Hotel
Again Burns
BUILDING PRACTICALLY DE-
STROYED IN FIRE OF LAST
WEDNESDAY.

For the second time this year the
citizens of Belyiew were aroused at
the ringing of the fre-bell shortly af-
ter dinner Wednesday, when little Cliff
ford Holmes discovered flames leaping
sky-ward on the roof of the Hotel
Building near the chimney, which
structure had been already badly ruin
ed by fire on New Years Day. Ow-
ing to southwest wind that was
blowing there was some question
whether the three frame buildings to
the north could be saved. The flames
spread rapidly on the roof, but with
the good work of the fire department,
who had two streams of water play
ing on the fire, had it under control in
about one hour. Practically all that
is left now of the old landmark is the
four walls, the second story and roof
being mostly burned.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ennis with the help of
othersssaved most of the contents with
the exception of those rooms in which
the fire started. Fortunately most of
the fixtures and stock had been moved
into the office, where they had been
living since the first fire, preparatory
to big sale. Although Mr.. Ennis
suffered another loss, it was small in
comparison to the former fire. A de-
fective chimney is given as the cause
of the fire.
None of the surrounding buildings
caught fire, but as a safeguard large
part of the stock in the store of the
H. o. Hegdal estate had been moved
out on the street Much of the mat
erial in the blacksmith was also carri-
ed out for from all appearance they
were doomed to go.-Belview Indepen-

Morton Team,
Defeats Legion
FASTEST GAME ENDS IN SCORE
OF 29-16 FOR VISITING
TEAM.

The fastest game of the season,
played before the largest crowd, was
battled out on the Armory floor last
Thursday evening and Morton returns
ed over the hill victorious. The whole
Morton aggregation played in the
limelight and they pulled some of the
best basketball seen here this year.
The locals were way off in shooting
and could not hang onto the ball.
Gregor made some good shots and
played a commendable game; but miss
ed shot after shot right under the net,
while Greenslit held Mason to very
few shots that would have counted
under ordinary conditions. Dahms
also missed some very easy shots when
he did have chance to get the ball.
The first quarter was quite even and
ended 20 with Morton in the lead,
Redwood missed lots of easy shots
and had lots of hard luck. During
this frame Donlon made Morton's one
basket from past the middle of the
floor.
Morton counted in the second quart
er for five baskete. Helgeson and
Fadden each made two and Donlon put
in another long one. Gregor speared
one shot nearly the full length of the
floor and put in another. from a corn
er. Castle opened up spectacular
dribbling attack but his shooting was
Ineffective
The third quarter Redwood played
their best game but only found the
net three times to Morton's four.
Dahms put in a nice shot and LANDER.
ton made another from the-middle.
Gregor made shot from under the
basket but missed several others.
Donlon put in two for Morton and
Castle and Fadden each made one.
Redwood was far outclassed the last
quarter, making two ringers and one
free throw to Morton's two baskets
and three free throws. Donlon made
the prettiest shot of the game from
difficult angle. Gregor made an
other long one and the last whistle
blew in few minutes. The final score
was Morton 90, Redwood 16.

Miss knudSOn
Wins First
DECLAMATORY CONTEST VERY
CLOSE; MISSES KyELLO AND
KOLBETS WIN PLACES.

The High School Declamatory Con-
test was held at the High School We'd
nesday evening before large crowd.
and gave some of the finest talks
heard here in declamatory speeches.
Each contestant thoroughly knew her
selection and brought out the drama
tic situations in it very forcibly. Miss
Rost, member of the High School
Faculty, has done wonderful work III
the training of these girls and their
success is a great credit to the girls
as well as herself.
First place was awarded to Evan
gelie Knudson, who gave, Madam
,X". She will represent this school at
the District Contest at New Ulm.
Avis Kvello, reciting, 1.-THE Confess
sion" was second and Loretta Kolbet
giving "The Music Master" was third.
Each Of these three girls was given a
first place by one or the other of the
judges, so it is very evident the de-
cisions were extremely close.
The others who took part and their
readings were: Hazel Marvin, "Jean
Vatican. Muriel Kuester, From a
Far Country. Gladys Pearson, "The
Necklace" Geraldine Sparks, "The
Polish Boy. Mathilda Seifert, 1.-THE
Sign of the Cross. All of these girls
gave their parts splendidly and had
it not been for some very slight fault
or defect, which the sharp eyes and
ears of the judges could detect, they
would probably have been awarded
places. The judges were: Superinten-
dent Miller from Morgan, Superinten-
dent Peterson from Morton, and Mrs.
T. E. Finn of Redwood Falls.
The City Orchestra entertained the
crowd with many fine selections, and
played some splendid music.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Police to- night broadcast descriptions of a man. believed to be tho son of Mon- treal minister who occupied fur nished room in Ninety seventh street. adjoining that of Miss Es- telle Phillips. attractive department store executive, whose mutilated and nude body was found today on the floor near her bed.
 While the search for the suspect was being made police assembled from bits of evidence in the room on the body, a connected story of the murder. They believed the assault was committed by a man who en- tered tho roof while Miss Phillips was asleep and strangled her before she could call for help.
 . A handbag containing cents. found open at her feet. investigators think, was left by the murderer to give the appearance of robbery as the motive of the crime. A towel was knotted about the dead woman's throat and there were evidences of a desperate struggle.
 Detectives said man closely an- swering the description of the sus- pect was seen boarding a train for Montreal at the Grand Central sta- tion at S:45 o'clock this morning. The man had identified himself to a fellow employe in an uptown hos pstal as the son of a Montreal clergy man, the police learned. He took the room in the Ninety seventh street house a week ago.

 She said she heard steps in the hall a half-hour later. Opening her door, she peered out and saw the man starting downstairs. His room sepa- rated hers from Miss Phillips. The man wore a cap, carried a suitcase and an army overcoat on his arm, she said.
 Puzzled by the unusual hour of his departure. Miss Meitria said she went to tho window and watched him board surface car. The man who boarded Montreal train. who. beside answering the personal de- scription, wore the same sort Of clothing and cap, and carried suit case and an army coat. similar to that seen by Miss Meitria.

PROSPERITY HERE TO STAY DESPITE SLUMP IN STOCKS
Expert Says Wall Street Is In Rut And Needs Public
 To Help It Out
By WALTER E. BROWN (Editor New York Commercially (By Leased Wire To Age-Hcrald.) )

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-There was no use in trying to match the move ment of the stock market with news developments during the week for the very good reason that the mar ket displayed no particular trend.
 The public is taking no interest, leaving it entirely to the professional element and even they seem to have gone stale. Wall street Is decidedly in rut. It needs the public to put life into 1t, but the public is not likely to be attracted to something that has no life.
 The market might be described as being on a dead center so that It will require some outside force to set 1t in motion. It Is difficult to predict where that force will en1an- ate from the most logical thought is that Wall street must finally take cognizance of the stability of the business situation and show q corr responding stability in prices that will begin to attract outside invest ment.
 Prosperity Is here to stay. We have this on the authority of the ad- ministration itself. There have been so many attacks upon industrial con- ditions by the bear party that the community was beginning to be dis couraged in the fear that perhaps we were in for depression.
 Assurance Given.
 Official Washington was being asked whether there was anything in this or not These questions became So persistent thatit was finally de- termined to let the country know just what the facts in the case were. Tho statement, which was an in- formal talk with the newspaper men by high officials, was to the effect that the country is prosperous and will continue so for months to come in line with statements previously made to the writer by high financial authorities outside of the admins tration.
 There are some big supporting facts that cannot be ignored. There is no unemployment to speak of, and as long as labor is well and profitably employed there can be no serious depression in business, Another fact that stands out is that the railroads are continuing to carry record breaking tonnage. The last week reported, that of September 25, again established a new high record for freight car loadings within 6 single week.
 From the banking standpoint re- ports are equally favorable. Bank CTS insist that the situation was never better. During the latter part of 1919 and the early. part of 1920 these same authorities issued warn ings of the gravity of the then eX- isting situation.
