thefact that quite a number -of
our substantial citizens are said
to be members proves conclusive
ly that" there were those who
opined the club was all right..
Iet opinion be as it may, the
fact remains that on a complaint
made out by Deputy District

Wednesday, Sheriff Burnett and
his deputy, J. D. Wells, accom
panied by one or two other gen
tlemen raided the place. - This
was shortly after noon. -The
sheriff, according to the author
ity vsted by the complaint he
carried was entitled to take into
custody Mike- Kline, Merwin

Doe. ' v ' ' '
Mr. Kline being absent from
town at the time, Messrs. Mc
Maines and Miline, were appre

numbers. The tro men secured
were haled before Justice r Hol-

be made and the matter carnea
to a higher court, imposed a fine
of $300 each on Mike Kline and
Merwin McMaines for their
operations in defiance of the local

serted that these men will. take
an appeal. They have thirty
days to carry the matter to

dwelling of Gustave Harding
was being destroyed by flames.
Many rcen about the city made
haste to go to the scene of the
conflagration, in order that they
might render any assistance
possible.
- It seems, however, that noth
ing possible could have saved
the house, which was completely
licked up by the flames. From
what it learned, Mrs. Harding
thought the morning a trifle
chill and started a fire in the
fireplace. Just how. the fire
originated, even after this, is not
known, but the supposition is
that a spark lodged on the roof
and the brisk wind -blowing from
the north fanned'it into flames'.
When discovered the fire, was too
far advanced .to put 6ut and, the
only thing to attempt was the
saving of what could be carried
from the building in the way of
furniture and other valuables.

on the place and they rendered
all possible assistance. Neigh
