This paper has said in the past, and will reiterate, that it has no room in it's columns for the record ing of neishborhood scraps. In a little community like this everyone knows what happens when there is a row, and what outsiders don't know isn't going to hurt them, nor would they be helped if they did know. The publication of every home fracas would only engender hard feelings, lead to more enmity, and could accomplish no good. So let them R. I. P.

Disastrous Blaze
at Roberts Monday

Fanr 4 by stiff east wind, fire
which s.. rted about eight o'clock
Monday morning in the r. III. Ludke
hardware store at Roberts completely
wiped out that and the remaining 3
business places to the west in that
block.
The destruction includes Ludke's
hardware store, James Tobin's dry
goods and grocery store and the tele-
phone exchange which was located
over it, Forest Churchill's barber shop
and Victrola salesroom, and Frank
Hawkins billiard hall.
The blaze had gained such Roadway
when discovered that the telephone
exchange in the adjoining building
had to be abandoned Immediately, and
the operator ON duty, Miss Lucille
Buxton, had barely time to escape
after being notified of her peril by
MIR. Tobin.
Mr.. Tobin had just taken $3.50 in
cash from his safe, intending to use
it to pay his taxes. His first thought,
ON seeing the flames that were al
ready bursting through from the
hardware store, was to warn The ex-
change operator, and in his anxiety
to do that he forgot the currency.
When he returned from seeing Miss
Buxton to safety his store was wrap
ped in flames and the money burned.
The telephone having been put out
of use, word was sent to Northline,
and from there relayed to neighboring
towns, Mgr. Vannatta of the Pierce
County Telephone Co. of which Rob
erts exchange is a branch, was noti-
fled here and he Immediately engaged
Frank Pomeroy to take himself and
Iinesmen Briggs and Elliott to the
scene. The roads were impossible
for auto traffic, and this prevented
outside assistance at the fire. The
focal phone men connected up line
to the James Morrow home, and Miss
Minnie Morrow, chief operator at the
old exchange, is in charge there to re-
ceive long distance calls.
The volunteer fire fighters at Rob-
erts, handicapped by lack of efficient
equipment, put up a heroic battle
against heavy odds and deserve great
praise for their saecesssin saving the
bank building which adjoins the hard
ware store on the east and in prevent
ing the flames from spreading to the
suildings in the block to the west,
where sparks and large embers fell
in veritable shower.

Seasons Prize Blizzard

River Falls was without train SER
vice from Tuesday afternoon until
last evening on account of the worst
blizzard of the season, which piled the
tracks and all highways full of hard
driven snow and heaped up monster
drifts as high and solid as sand dunes.
The freight, which pulled five car
loads of cattle out of here Tuesday
afternoon was stalled opposite the
Walter Chapman farm. A crew of
twenty-five men was dispatched there
Immediately from Hudson, and they
worked all night and half the next
day before the train was able to pro
coed into Hudson. Every precaution
was taken to protect the cattle, but,
it is reported here, one COW and
calf died on the train.
About nine o'clock last night the
snow pillow went over this branch, and
the passenger train, which had been
held at Hudson since Tuesday after
noon, followed through few minutes
later.
The wind, swirling dense cloud of
snow before it, attained its highest
velocity during Tuesday night, and
our oldest settlers claim they had new
er experienced such powerful biz
card in this section of the country
before. The strong wind made the
zero temperature seem 40 degrees
colder, and it was next to impossible
to- heat stores and homes until the
gale abated late yesterday morning.

A FREAK CALF

Will Matzek, town of River Falls,
on Monday brought to the city the
carcass of nightmarish freak, the
offspring of one of his Holstein cat
tie. It's skin bore the black and white
markings of Holstein cattle; but the
head and hind quarters resembled
those of pig.
Hundreds of people viewed the car
cass as it lay in Mr.. Matzek's sled
for several hours on Main street, but
no one recalled ever having seen any
thing like it before in this neighbor-
hood.
A COW belonging to Steve Lewis of
Kinnickinnic recently gave birth to a
two-headed calf, and Mr.. Lewis turn
ed the carcass over to the research
department of a university for inves-
tigation and study.

FIRE DEPARTMENT BUSY

The Fire Department answered 3
alarms during the past week. On
Thursday evening, about six o'clock,
there was chimney fire at the BE
gen home on Third street. The SER
vices of the Department were net re-
auired. About II o'clock Monday
night George Healey, substituting on
the police force for Roy Hyatt who
was ill, discovered smoke issuing in
a threatening manner from the Alton
restaurant bake shop, and turned in
the alarm. Stove wood placed in the
oven to dry had ignited, causing a
dense smudge, but resulting in no
further damage. This is the second
time the practice of drying wood in
that oven has resulted in call for
the fire department.
During terrific gale, about six
o'clock yesterday morning, the fire
alarm sent a thrill of apprehension
through the city when the Depart
ment was called to the Golden home
sn the West Side, where chimney
blaze had proved threatening. No
damage resulted, but everyone who
heard the alarm and noted the power
Of the gale realized the certain dis
aster If fire should gain Roadway in
home or store at that time.
