Is It Hot?
Only log

Though Bismarck was sweltering
In l0S-degree temperature between 2
and o'clock this afternoon. the as
phalt paving on the corner Of Thayer
avenue and Fourth street was not hot
enough to fry an egg.
More than that, o. w. Roberts. Bis
marck's weather prophet. making
ready for fishing trip. purchased an
electric heater this morning.
Despite the fact that Bismarck, as
we'll as practically all points in the
temperate zone, is getting used to
hot weather after a continued baking
for almost . month, the heat probably
was more depressing today than at
any other time this year.
A new heat record for the year here
was established shortly after noon,
and weather men predicted the mer-
curry would rise to log and possibly
LOT before evening.
Though yesterday was uncomfort-
able, It was "cool" compared with to-
day. Mercury rose only to 100 degrees
Thursday. Ten North Dakota points
reported 100 degrees or higher yester-
day. Leading the state was Fessen-
den, with los. Other points reporting
100 degrees were Bottineau, Devils
Lake. Dickinson, Drake. Dunn Center,
Larimore, Minot. and Sanish.
Temperature here at 8 q. m. today
Was 30 degrees.
A prediction of cloudy weather and
lower temperatures tomorrow gave
Bismarck wee bit Of consolation this
afternoon.

but another elevator, also owned by
the Heatons, was saved. Two houses

cific engine were responsible. D. 8.
Colby, jamestown, railroad superin-
tendent, said al Northern Pacific en-
gines are equipped with spark arrest
ers which are inspected before each

The blazing sun had made the
prairie near Mckenzie dry as tinder
and half . dozen prairie fires had
started and then burned out between
Mckenzie and Bismarck, q distance
Of l8 miles.

elevator at $4,000 to the building and
1000 to the contents. In addition,

nine children. The house was valued
at $4,000. McC;osky estimated that
he lost 500 worth Of household ef-
fects.

with loss Of $500 to the house and
$500 In personal property.

Stopping Dog Runs

geance by violence for the states at
torney's action in closing Chicago dog
tracks was predicted today by Pat
Roche. chief investigator for the
states attorney.
Roche said he had direct informa-
t; !, that "the hoodlums controlled
by the dog track interests are to
be turned loose on Chicago for a
wave Of bombings and robberies il
we persist in our fight against the
tracks"
It has been Roche's contention
the dog tracks provide a large part
Of the money required to finance
Chicago gangs. He estimated that
AL Capone, now in Jail in Philadel-
phia for gun toting, took half mil.
lion dollars 4 year from his dog
track interests here. The Hawthorne
track, twice raided this week, j.
known as q Capone enterprise.
