The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1929-07-19

The little town of Gillingham,
England, was the scene last week
of one of the most horrible farces
it is within the power of fate to
play. The inhabitants of the
town were staging a midsummer
carnival in which a large number
of men and boys put on a perform
ance called 1.-THE Firemans We'd
ding" The spectators laughed
and cheered at what they believed
to be a mock tragedy in the per-
Torrance. By the time they real
lied the cries for help on the part
of the performers, were genuine
pleas of fear and aid. nine OF the
victims had been burned to death
and others injured beyond aid. A
premature fire had broken out,
trapping the actors before their
escape was possible.
The serious condition of grain
crops in this state was relieved by
rain in the Northwest section last
week. In the Havre vicinity
crops look very promising and a
good yield seems assured. This
community, not being so FORUM
ate, is looking ahead to harvesting
the poorest crop in a number of
years. Lack of rain for such a
long depriod has left the grain in
a critical condition.
