Last Thursday afteinoon while
Perry Bryant was burning fire guards
the fire got away from him and did
considerable damage before it was
put out , burning a lot of range that
would make good winter feed for the
cattle. While it is a fact that nearly
all prairie fires start accidentally and
io great damage every yeisr , a great
many fires are the result of too much
carlessness or recklessness. An ounce
of preventation is worth a pound of
cure ; also a little more care at the
proper time will save a lot of hard
labor for yourself and your neighbors.
Someone makes a blunder so that
hardly a year passes that a fire does
not sweep some part of the county ,
[ t may be that each man only seta
one fire in a life time , for after ward
he is more careful. If each one was
careful not to set a fire or let one get
away from him the accidentals might
be reduced. Now is the time to ugl *
tate a telephone connection all over
the county.
Crowded out last tteek.
Last Thursday evening the ' 'Fresh
men of Valentine College1 (9th (
grade ) had planned to celebrate the
birthday of Mabel Helzer. They pre *
pared refreshments and surprised

grade and the ' 'juniors" , the 10th
grade , heard of the nice little party
that was going to be given aa a sur
prise to their school mate , and with
no other thougot than having a good
time ) they were going td surprise them
all by rushing in , steal the relreah-
ments and laugh at the helpless who
they thought would not be looking for
them. They couldn't keep a secret
and'so some one toldthe "Freshmen"
who prepared themselves with pistols
or revolvers , and were going to defend
their ground if necessaryvith weap *
ons. The party progressed The
Seniors and Juniors came , and in
breaking into the house , broke several
window panes and were ordered out of
the house for their pains. Jn addition
the marshal was attracted by the
bellowingand came running. Sever
al shots were fired by the freshmen
and the marshal ordered thost'belong-
ing to the party to go inside , and
those interfering to go home. He
then searched the boys for their guns
but was unable to find them , they hav
ing hid them upon hearing that the
