Second Fire in Community
Last Thurday Burns
HayStackS.

Two fires occurred near Finlayson
last Thursday morning at which time
the Herman Mack home was destroyed
and some hay stacks on the farm
occupied by the M. E. Ward family
near little Pine lake were burned.
The first fire which destroyed the
Mack home was noticed by Mrs. Her.
man Mack when she heard a noise
on the roof of the kitchen of their
farm home which is located about
two miles southwestern the village at
about 1880 o'clock. She called her
husband, her son, Harold and his
wife, and another son, Leo, all of
whom were in the barn and they i'm
mediately summoned aid by phone.
Only small place was burning
when first discovered but it spread
rapidly to the main part of the house.
Part of the furnishings of the up-
stairs were saved and all from the
downstairs were carried to safety as
was most of the canned goods, but
Mrs. Harold Mack lost practically all
her clothing
The elder Mrs. Mack was taken to
the home of her daughter, Mrs. An
drew Wallio, in Finlayson, at once
so she need not witness the destruc-
tion of that which had been her home
for many years. She will remain
there for the present while the re-
mainder of the family will live in the
granary.
The Macks have lived in the Fin
layson community for many years
where they have been active in it's
upbuilding. Harold Mack was man
ager of the Finlayson Shipping As
ISOLATION for several years, but did
not take the office again this year.
The quick response of neighbors
and tOwnsmen made it possible to
save so much of the household equip
ment. The loss was partially covered
by insurance. The home will be re-
built this summer.

RANGER POINTS OUT
GRASS FIRE DANGER

Ranger P. w. Swedberg, who has
charge of fire protection in this terri
tory, has called upon the general pub
lie to discontinue burning grass with
running fire and comments as fol-
lows:
Grass fires are beginning to run
up on the highland. There must be
small trees before there can be any
large ones, therefore they should not
be killed by burning. Any kind of
tree growth is better than none at all.
I'VE ask everyone to consider that
both game and other birds are just
beginning to nest and it is from now
on that running fires destroy our bird
life"

TRAIN VICTIM
LAID TO REST
NickerSOn Farmer, Killed by Gre at
Northern Freight, Was Buried
Saturday Afternoon.

The body of Erick Edin, who was
killed by a Great Northern freight
train Wednesday afternoon of last
week near his home at Nickerson,
was laid to rest in the Nickerson
cemetery Saturday afternoon follow
ing funeral services held from the
house and from the Swedish Lutheran
church at which the Rev. Charles
S. Rydell officiated. A host of friends
attended the last rites as a testi-
mony to the esteem in which the
deceased was held.
The tragedy occurred about half
way between the home of Mr.. Edin
and Nickerson. Although no one saw
the accident, it is apparent from all
indications that he boarded the freight
train at Nickerson to ride part way
home and in getting off fell under
the moving cars. He left home to
walk to Nickerson earlier in the aft
ernOOn on some errand connected with
his farm work and at the time he
started home there was a freight train
standing at the station. There is an
upgrade pull toward his home, the
trains usually run slowly and an act
i've man can usually jump off at a
certain point with safety. He prob
ably attempted to ride and while
jumping off became entangled in some
way, fell under the wheels and was
killed. The fast evening flyer came
along soon afterward and evidently
hit the body again. The train crew
on the passenger noticed something
on the track but could not see plainly,

ISTANBUL Turkey, April 20.-The
first Of the buried mosaics in the
Mosque of St. Sophia, which have been
hidden under whitewash far centuries
because of the Islamic taboo against
images, were uncovered yesterday.
When the coating was removed from
the wall above one of the interior
doors there were revealed golden and
glittering Byzantine crosses. The work
was done under the auspices of the
Byzantine Institute of America.
The uncovering of the famous st.
Sophia moSaics has brought more ap-

other reform instituted by Mustapha
Kemal.
The work was begun just after the
1,400 birthday of the great edifce.
which was started February %, 532
AID, by the Emperor Justinian. The
church was designed to be greater
than any since the time Of Adam, and
any Of time to come"
Prof. Thomas Whittemore of Boston,
director of the Byzantine Institute, is
in charge of the uncovering OF the
moSaics. Italian workmen who have
been trained as moSaicists from child
hood are assisting him.
The plan is to leave the art treasures
untouched in whatever form they may
have survived.
