Sets Fire to Haystack
To Bring Assistance

George Reynolds, long time res
ident of the Snowshoe creek dis
trict south of Libby, believes in us
ing his head to get fast service.
Stricken with arthritis early in
week Reynolds had no way of get
ting to town to a hospital. His
first thought was to fire his gun
in the air and attract the attention
of possible fisherman. This proved
to be of no avail SO he painfully
made his way to one of his hay
stacks which he set on fire. He then
set fire to building on his prop
erty
The whole affair turned out just
as he wanted. The lookout on
Hoodoo mountain saw the fire and
reported it to Libby headquarters.
Within an hour truck load of CCC
youths arrived at the scene of the
fire, extinguished the blazes and
brought the sufferer to Libby where
he received treatment for his all
ment.

sidered to take Miss Larsons place
