Fire Threatens
Town and Country
A prolonged dry period has
made vast regions of the country
a veritable matchbox.
Any spark or small blaze
easily can get out of hand and
spread havoc. In some Nebraska
cities, including Lincoln, the fire
chief has forbidden burning of
rubbish and residue from lawns.
Last Thursday at 1:15 p.m. the
firemen were summoned to a
downtown store where the mo
tor on an air compressor had
burned out.
Friday morning at 8:15 the
firemen went to the Mrs. Addie
Wrede residence. Hot ashes had
ignited a pile of leaves.
O’Neill firemen were summon
ed Saturday at 10:15 a.m., to ex
tinguish a blaze near the North
Western railroad tracks. A pile
of creosote posts, belonging to
Consumers Public Power district,
caught fire and a spectacular
cloud of black smoke billowed
skyward until the flames were
brought under control.
The fire occurred near oil
tanks and hay storage and might
have been costly if the flames
had been permitted to spread.

injured in an auto accident in

While driving down O street at
the minimum rate of speed,
another car illegally made a U

bruising her considerably. She
was taken to the St. Elizabeth’s
hospital for treatment. As yet she
cannot be moved, but it is hoped
she can be taken to Atkinson at

She has extreme difficulty in ;
breathing and every precaution
will be taken to prevent catching
cold. Mr. Porter was uninjured

other car was also unhurt. The
Porter’s car was totally wrecked
the other car also received con
siderable damage. The Porter car
will be towed to Atkinson. The
