Fire Damages Fire
men's Headquarters.
A bad firo broke out shortly before
10 o'clock Wednesday evening in the
back rooms over the Ilinmnn garage in
tho rooms occupied by the firemen.
The bnck roein where tho firemen's trnp
door is located was practically gutted
by tho finmes. All the rooms abovo the
garage were more or lees damaged by
smoke and the fire spread some into ono
of the other bnck rooms.
Just how tho firo was started is not
known and some contend that it started
from defective electric wiring, but in
dications would bIiow that it started in
the bed in tho room. The bed wasjfirst to
burn and all tho bed clothes and slats
were burned. It is also reported that some
of tho men were in tho rooms a few
minutes before the fire was discovered
and and thut they wore lying on the bed
smoking. The room was in flames be
fore tho fire wuh discovered nnd one of
tho men in the garage smelled the
burning wood and turned in the alarm.
The department was called at once
and attempted to go up the front stairs
and apply the chemicals but were unable
to do so on account of tho smoke. Water
was then turned on the flamos both
from the front and tho rear, some of
tho men fighting from the roof of the
back room of the garage. A large
crowd gathered to watch the firo and
from the amount of smoke it was
thought to be much more dangerous fire
that it proved out to be.
Tho need of a paid regular fire depart
ment is strongly emphasized in this.
That a firo can start and get under
headway enough to cause so much dam
age in tec very rooms occupied by the
firemen is a deplorable fact. A regular
department would bo much more care
ful and guard against fire in their own
rooms, as well as bo on tho job in case
a firo broke out. Then too, they would
be trained to fight tho flames and would
be able to work more systematically.

Fremont Agains Offers
Franchise to This City
Ray C. Langford received a letter
from John Dexter, president of tho
F.emont baseball association, offeJing
the berth in tho state league and asking
if this city was still willing to pay the
price offered n few wcoks ago. The
price offered was $750 and Fremont
seems to bo anxious to sell as Mr.
Dextor stated that the same offer was
being made to Norfolk.
If North Platte should buy the fran
chise from Fremont they could enter
tho state league under the same rules
and regulations as Fremont is under.
This city, however, was refused ad
mittance to the league on acoount of
it being so far away from the other
towns and will not enter at this time.

advised them not to hold the team for

The instrument is a small affair, tho

of the radium bromide. Tho cost of
the ono instrument was $G00, and since
ho mado tho contract for it tho price
has raised until now tho same instru
ment would cost $91)0. Tho radium will
ba used in the treatment of cancer,
malignant growths, neuritis, rheuma
tism and skin diseases and it is very
powerful for this treatment.
Tho doctor demonstrated Tuesday
ovening to u number of men the power
ot radium. It will penotratu tiny metal
nnd it requires three inches of loud to
screen it off and eyun then some will
penetrato through. Tho radium is fixed
on a squaro base with a lead buck and is
covered with varnish so that it will not
work too stronglj. In the demonstra
tion tho doctor gae ho placed tho in
strument behind u stovo lid nnd it
ahincd through very brightly. Tho
illuminating power is much greater by
