sided at the meeting. Among the
principal speakers were Bishop E.

Richards had done in SO short ii
time. A large number attended the
dedication and the hall was filled.

DESTROY BUSINESS
BUILDINGS, FRAZER, NASHUA
FRAZER'S MAIN STREET HAS
CLOSE CALL-DAMAGE AT
CIRCLE, SACO

The past week brought a coinci
dence of fires that may well serve
as a warning against the increased
fire menace that is brought by
winter.
Tuesday forenoon, about 1915
fire vas discovered in the Frazer
hotel at Frazer, a frame, two-story,
ell shaped building of 20 rooms.
Within an hour nothing was left
but the chimney. The fire appear
ed to start in the eastern portion
of the building near the chimney
that starts at the basement floor.
The dining room and kitchen were
quickly filled with smoke and
flame and access to other parts
of the building cut off. Only a few
articles of furniture were gotten
out. Mrs. G. B. Yaple, wife of the
proprietor, says she discovered the
fire and rushed to the cash regist-
er in the dining and lunch room
and secured most of the money
and contents but was driven away
by the heat before she could get
it all.
The town has no fire depart
ment or efficient equipment for
fire fighting. Those first at the
scene saw it was impossible to
save the building and at once or
ganized a bucket brigade to save
if possible the one story building
next on the east, owned and oc-
cupied by the Frazer Motor com
pany, Roy Sheppard, proprietor.
The Great Northern Railway, fol-
lowing a fire in Frazer last Spring,
put in a standard fire hose con
nection with the railroad water
tank which stands north and 400
or 500 feet from the hotel and the
row of business buildings east of
the hotel. The railroad has about

FRONT ST. PLACE
HELD UP MONDAY
OFFICERS GRAB NIX FROM
TRAIN AT BROCkTON,
$500 BONDS

Roy Nix, said to have come here
from Plentywood, is in the county
jail under $500 bonds pending
hearing before Judge Paul on De-
cember 8. Nix-that may be his
real name or only his pen name
is specifically charged with TAX
ing $3.50 from Sam Kaleck, a
man connected with one of the
road building crews.
The alleged holdup occurred in
a place said to be operated by
Fomby and Hall, near the brick
barn on Front street. 1t seems Nix
had been hanging around town for
a week or two. Monday afternoon
he lined up the three or four men
found in the alleged speakeasy and
took from them what money they
had. He shot through the roof
and into the floor several times.
1t is told that one of the inmates
of the place, Tom Dorr, thought
Nix vas shooting blank cartridges
until he saw the splinters in the
floor, and then he hastily sought
partial shelter behind a post.
After the hold-up Nix ran out of
the building and caught an east
bound freight just as it was pull
ing out of town. AS he left town
he continued to shoot from the top
of a freight a A telephone call
was sent to Poplar officials, but
as the train was a through freight
they we're unable to get Nix there.
However word was sent to Brock
ton where the freight was to stop
for water and there Nix was taken
from the train. The arrest was
made by Ford Monroe, deputy sher-
if, who brought Nix to Poplar
where he was arraigned before
Justice Turner and pleaded not
guilty. Hearing was set for
December 18th and bonds were set
at $4,000. He was brought to Wolf
Point the same evening and lodged
in the county Jail. Direct informa-
ton was filed in district court
Tuesday before Judge Paul. Nix
was brought up for arraignment
and he asked for further time in
which to plead, wishing to get a
lawyer. His case will come up De
cember 9. He is now in Jail under
$4,000 bonds.
1t is said that Nix resisted Dep
uty Monroe. 1t was dark and just
after Monroe had snapped the
handouts on Nix, the latter jab-
bed his thumbs into Monroe's side,
threatening to shoot. Nix had no
gun in his hand but wanted to
make Monroe believe he had. Mon
roe had to use his stick before
Nix was tractable.
Nix is said to be wanted at
Grand Forks, N. Oak. on another
charge.

CHRISTMAS SEAL
SALE HAS BEGUN

Mrs. Margaret Inglehart has a
gain been named county chairman
of the drive to sell Christmas
health seals. The sale of these seals
will continue until Christmas eve.
Seals have been distributed to the
chairmen in various parts of the
county.
In Wolf Point envelopes contain
ing seals are being sent out to Cit
liens with a letter explaining the
plan of procedure. A stamped en-
velope is enclosed in which pay
ment for the seals may be return
ed to Mrs. Inglehart, or payment
for the seals kept and such seals
as are not needed. They are not to
be sold.
Seal Sale
This is the 25th seal sale. Prac-
tically all the returns are used in
the community where the money
is raised. Some of it goes for nat
ional purposes, such as the work
of the national committee on med
ical research, which is conducting
extensive laboratory experiments
on the nature of the disease pro-
cess known as tuberculosis. the
effectiveness of the campaign l.
gainst tuberculosis may readily be
seen in the records which show
that in the twenty years between
1910 and 1880, tuberculosis drop
ped from second place in the cause
of death to seventh place. The
seal sale has been a great factor
in this drop, since it furnished
funds for educational campaigns,
research work, health surveys and
preventive work.
Figures compiled for the various
counties of the state on the num-
Der Of deaths caused by tuber-
culosis show that with the K
ception of Silver Bow county,
which has a large mining popula-
ton, there is a very much higher
death rate in counties all or partly
included within Indian reserva-
tons. Thus Roosevelt county had
Is deaths in 1880, while Sheridan
county, of about the same popula-
ton, had only 8 and Daniels 2.
Valley, part of which is on the Fort
Peck reservation had 6 T.B. deaths
last year.
Wolf Point Has Benefited
tuberculosis surveys and the
subsequent tuberculin tests made
rDon the school children in this
district and county were in part
financed by the sale of Christmas
seals. These surveys within the
last two years have been valuable
not only in discovering incipient
cases of tuberculosis, but in call
ing to the attention of teachers
and parents other defects that
needed correction. Thus, right here
in District As, diseased tonsils that
were sapping the vitality Of school
pupils have been discovered by
this survey; poor vision has been
helped by corrective glasses, be-
cause of the health surveys. And
these surveys have been made
possible by reason OF the sale Of
penny Christmas seals.

chief, there in response to a call

him. Driving a vehicle over fire
hose that is in use, thereby en-
dangering the flow OF water, is a
serious offense and it is surpris-
ing how many drivers persist in
doing it.

MRS. {. H EVERETT
95 YEARS OLD
FRIENDS EXTEND CONGRATU-
LATIONS ON BIRTHDAY
ANNIVERSARY

Mrs. c. H. Everett, who probab
ly has the distinction of being the
oldest resident in the Wolf Point
community, celebrated her 95th
birthday anniversary on Thanks
giving day. A number of Mrs. Ev.
erett's friends marked the passing
of the added milestone with a
shower of congratulatory cards.
Mrs. Everett was very appreciative
of the remembrance, and in a let.
ter written to the editor she says:
Dear Mr.. Editor:
Will you please say Thanks,
Thanks" to the many kind friends
who have remembered me so kind
ly on my 95th birthday anniver-
sary. May they all find a home
some sweet day in the House not
made with hands, eternal in the
Heavens.
Best wishes,
Mrs. G. H. Everett.
Born in Connecticut
Mrs. Everett, whose maiden
name was st. John, was born in
Sharon, Connecticut, November 26,
1886 in a house that had been built
by her grandfather. The house is
still standing after more than a
century of use. There she grew to
young womanhood, attending the
little school that several genera
lions of pupils had attended before
her. She became a school teacher,
and then she and Russell Everett,
also a teacher, were married. A
few years later they went west to
Galva, Illinois, to establish a home
in a new country. 1t was Mrs.
Everett's home for nearly fifty
years. Galva was surrounded by
rolling prairie when the Everetts
came there, but when this prairie
land was plowed up it grew corn
that astonished the New England
ers by it's size. Mrs. Everett has
had the experience of pioneering
twice, the first time in Galva, and
them again in Wolf Point when
she came here seventeen years ago
to make her home with her son,
B. Everett.
For sixty-six years she has re-
tanned her membership in the Con-
gregational church at Galva, and
last year when that church was
celebrating the 18th anniversary of
its founding, it was learned that
Mrs. Everett is the oldest living
member of the church.
Few people attain the age of
95, and it is a matter for particu-
lar congratulation when one reach
es that age and still retains a
keen interest in the affairs of the
day as does Mrs. Everett. Her
friends rejoice with her on the
passing of another birthday.
