 Every story of the building hay ing been divided into four alright and tiroprooC enclosures, the flames were unahle 10 spread far from the start. I'll" only peculiarity Of the blaze WAS that thc fire was able to spread 10 different stories through q shaft containing pipes.

STOCKHOLDERS CHARGE POWER co.
HAS PRACTICED FRAUD IN STOCK DEAL

Charges that certain officers and
directors Of the Montana Dakota
Power company have practiccd a
fraud upon them in stock deal have
been filed with the state railroad
board by ". S. Davidson and IL
other Montana Dakota company
stockholders, all living at Williston.
Investigation Of the charges has
been set by the state railroad board
for January II.
The charges grew out of a trans
action in which the Montana Dakota
company traded 5000 shares of its
stock to the Minnesota Northern
Power company for 1884 shares in
the Eastern Montana Light 4 Power
company, owned by the Minnesota
firm.
The petitioners allege that the
Montana Dakota stock was worth
$500 900 while the stock received in
exchange was practically worthless
since the Eastern Montana Light 4
Power company properties were en-
cum bercd for more than their APP
praised value. Officers and dircc-
tors Of the Montana Dakota company
and the Minnesota Northern Power
company who participated in the deal
are the same persons, the complain
ants allegc and contend that stock
holders of the Montana Dakota com
pany were dcfraudcd by their ac-
tionS.

was granted by the state railroad
board on April 6 last, no objection
