CITY ESCAPES
HEAVY LOSSES
IN BIG WIND
Telephone Communication Is
Disrupted in Many Places
Because of Blow
L E RRIFIC VELOCITY

Bismarck escaped the brunt of the
terrific wind storm which did serious
damage last night west of the Mis-
souri, river. The weather bureaus S
report here showed the highest wind
velocity was 40 miles an hour, while
some estimates placed the blow west
of the river at 80 to 80 miles an hour.
The storm cut across patch of
woods on this side of the Missouri
river south of here, according to Mich
ael O'Connor, and blew limbs six inch
cs thick off big cottonwood trees
along the river. Many limbs were
blown off trees at the capitol grounds
and in various parts OF the city.
The highest temperature yester
day was 81 here, and was one of the
hottest days of teh season.
A few telephone circuits were dam
aged in Bismarck. The North Dakota
Independent Telephone company re-
ported service crippled from Steele
east, bad wires at Flasher, and west
of Glen Ullin 16 telegraph poles were
blown down. Trouble also was re-
ported north of Coleharpor.
The high power electric line from
Underwood to Max was badly dam
aged. There also was telephone trou-
BILE north Of Mandan. The 500 line
reported sbme poles down north of
Underwood, and one report to that
company said that across the river
from Washburn the wind uprooted
big trees while it did not do much
damage on the east side of the river.
Reports from Fargo stated that
wire communication from Minnesota
was badly crippled because of storms
here, and that this morning Fargo
was cut off from Minot.

New York, June 23.-Uncle Sam,
after starting to seize Johnny Bulls
liquor on the steamship Baltic, halt
ed, scratched his head and later re-
sumed his raid on the steamship
lockers stocked with liquor under
British government seal, intended for
use on teh homeward trip.
Secretary Mellon who promulgated
the dry ruling which the Baltic, Ber-
engaria and Paris have defed show
ing and officials at Washington pro-
fesscd ignorance Of the reasons for
the pause, and officials at the GUS
toms house locked in conference
could not be reached. At the Offices
of the White Star line 1t was stated
that no injunction proceedings had
been instituted.
At the prohibition, unit officials
likewise disclaime all knowledge for
the reason for interrupting the seiz-
ures. 1t was learned, however, that
Commissioner Haynes who also is in
New York had been in communica-
ton with prohibition legal advisers
here by telephone. No one would
reveal the subject of the conversa-
ton.
1t was said later that the author
tiles had delayed, through courtesy
for DR.. E. X. Sprague, local head of

ice, who had issued a permit for
retention of some liquor for medi-
cal supplies. When he failed to ap-
pear raiders resumed their work.
Removal of the seized liquor from
the Baltic began shortly before z
o'clock. The authorities induced
longshoremen to lift it with crane
from the hold and it was loaded on
trucks bound for government ware
house. Only q few dozen cases had
been removed, however, when the
work was stopped on telephone in
structions from DR.. Sprague.

Funeral of Auto
Victim Tomorrow

BRAWLEY, May d. Funeral
services for Alvah Burton, who was
injured in an automobile accident
on the San Diego road near Alpine
Saturday night, and died in st. Jos,
eph S hospital in that city Sunday
morning, will be held from his
late home in this city tomorrow. a
coroncr's inquest held at San Diego
found that the boy died of Il frac-
tured skull and internal injuries and
that death was accidental.
Harold Ozbun and CristO AleXan-
der. companions of Burton on the
fatal ride, were uninjured except for
slight cuts and bruises. The car in
which the young men were riding
struck q boulder on the side OF the
road while driving through Il heavy
fog, throwing the car down steep
embankment. Burton was held in
the ear by the steering wheel. The
other boys managed to jump and
saved themselves. ,'
Burton was II years old and "
freshman in the Brawley high school
working as messenger for rhc Wes-
tern Union in spare time. The boys
originally planned to spend the
week end at Salton Sea but evi,
IDENTIFY changed their plans and
headed for San Diego, following &
trip to Jacumba, where they were
seen by several local people Satur
day night.

several of them when the fire
| started. All were removed to the
street without loss or damage. Tools
and fixtures in the shop, which were
destroyed or damaged, will bring
their loss up to about $500.
Assisted by spectators, Mr.. Crom-
lie moved Q large part of his finished
stock of sheet metal goods out of
danger, to prevent it being rusted
by the water and he stated after the
fire that his loss would probably be
not more than 800. Two automo-
biles, property of the Buick Sales
Company, which were in Edwards
place, were completely destroyed.
They were valued at $25O0 and are
covered by insurance. Edwards lost
the entire contents of his shop and
personal belongings, amounting to
$1,000.
The buildings were owned by Mrs.
Daisy Baird of Los Angeles, and no
estimate as to the loss involved
could be made, as none of the local
agents carried any insurance on
them. 1t is believed they were in
sured through Los Angeles agencies.
Considerable criticism Of the fire
department for the delay in getting
water on the fire, was unjustified,
according to l. a. Thomas, acting as
chief in the absence of Charles +.
Ferguson. The break in the hose
connection was unavoidable and
was soon repaired. Several specta-
tors commented on the fact that
there is fire hvdrant in the alley,
less than 10 feet from the burning
buildings, which was not used by
the department, the engine pumping
water from the hydrant at the cor
ner of Fifth and Main street.
Answers Criticisms
As TO this matter Mr.. Thomas
stated that it would have been ut
terly foolish to bring the engine to
the alley hvdrant. to fight the fire.
The close proximity to the blazing
building not only endangered the
apparatus, but would handicap the
firemen in handling the hose at
such close quarters. Also, the hy
drant is situated directly under
the electric wires. ana though the
current was later turned off, at the
times the engines arrived there was
the possibility Of fallen wires to
consider, he declared. Clarence
Rowe, driver of the fire wagon, was
painfully burned according to Mr..
Thomas, when he drove the appar-
atus down the alley and headed for
the hydrant at Main and Fifth
street. The alley hydrant was too
hot to be touched long after the
fire had been controlled.
The fire was the third one in less
than "a hours. The department was
called out at midnight last night
for a small blaze in yard near
Sixth and He'll streets, which was
extinguished with practically no
damage. The first alarm came yes
etrday morning for a fire which
destroyed shack on the east side
of the city.
