FIREMEN ARE ROUSED
BARN AND SHED IN SOUTH. PART
OF CITY ABE DESTROYED
BY FLAMES
The first fire alarm for some time
tolled out to extinguish a blaze in a „tnrp
barn belonging to J. F. McNally and
a shed belonging to Herman Hyson.
The fire'is said to have started in the
Bhed but the origin is not known.
Mr. McNally's barn, the contests of
which included a bin of grain, was
saved from total destruction, some of
the grain being carrid out, the
balance being badly damaged. Horses,
harness, etc., were removed without
damage. Mr. Hyson's shed was a total
loss, including a quantity of goods
stored in it, and before the arrival of
the fire department the flames threat­
ened to spread to the ^Hyson, house,
but were checked by neighbors.
The loss on the barn is partly cover­
ed by insurance, but the shed was an
absolute loss. Considerable delay was
experienced in getting a stream of wa­
ter on account of a frozen hydant, and
it is believed that the barn might have
been saved but for this.
The entire winter has been remark­
ably free from fires, this being the
first call on the fire department since
January 23, when they were called to
extinguish a small blaze in a wood
pile.

"THE ROSARY"
Those who complain about the de­
cadence of the drama can offer no
sound criticism of "The Rosary,"
which was the sensation of the popular
priced houses last season. It is not a
religious drama of the heavy sort,
lacking in entertaining qualities. On
the contrary, it is a delightful story
of every day life, in which the plot
hinges upon the misery which creeps
into a household through circumstances
which lead to suspicion and jealous/,
and of a part which a priest, Eev.
Brian Kelly, plays in bringing about
a correct understanding. A rosary of
pearls figures in the unfolding of the
plot, and it is final happy denoue­
ment.
The play is handsomely staged and
is enacted by a powerful acting cast'.
Will be seen at the Milo on Thursday,
April 3.
BICYCLES IN TRANCE
The number of bicycles in France
appears to be on the increase, judging

with 2,697,406 of the previous year.

VASALY A VETZEL
Old Resident of Royalton and Sister,
Twins* Celebrate Birthday at
Crookston
Crookston, March 22.—Mrs. J.
Irvin and Amos O. Berry, twins
years of age, celebrated their birthday
anniversary at the home here of
Mrs. W. E. Spence, daughter of Mrs.
Irvin. To make the celebration still
more interesting, four generations weie
present, Mrs. Irvin, her daughter, Mrs.
W. E. Spence, the latter's daughter,
Mrs. Claude Carpenter and son.
Amos O. Berry resides at Eoyalton,
and is here on a short visit. He was
born in Maine in 1834 and came* west
in June, 1850, by way of the Erie,
canal and Great Lakes to Oshkosh,
thence by stage to Fox Lake (Fort
Winnebago) and thence to Portage
City, Wis. From there he went to
Grand Rapids, Wis., where he logged
for a time with a six-ox team. He
went from there to La Crosse over an
old Indian trail, and took two rafts
of hard pine logs down to St. Louis,
a perilous trip in those days.
He went to St. Antony Falls, then
a place of but 200 inhabitants, in 1851,
and rented Governor Eamsey's farm
at Cottage Grove and carried the mail
from Port Douglas to St. Paul, where
he says there were about 100 persons
in 1852. He ran the first boom to St.
Anthony Falls in 1852 and continued
with his logging operations until
1861.
When war was declared he enlisted
at Fort Snelling in the First Minnesota
He participated in the battles of Bull
Eun, Fair Oaks, Seven Pines and the
second battle of Bull Eun. He was
in the seven-day battle at Manassas
and White Oak swamp, and tells of
the building of the famous grapevine
bridge across the Pumunke river to
save two brigades of federals. He
was in the siege and capture^of York
ton, at Williamsburg, Balis Bluff,
Leeds Mills, Malvern Hill, Mechanics
ville, Gaines Mill and Savage Station.
Even more thrilling were his ex­
periences at Antietam, White Horse
Plains, where the First Minnesota
fought three days, subsisting mostly on
blackberries Fredericksburg and Get­
tysburg. He was mustered out in
March, 1864. While the hardships of
the war and pioneering in Minnesota
have left their marks physically, men­
tally, he is vigorous and despite his
years takes a deep interest in current
affairs.
Among the relics of war he has a
diary which he kept and a copy of
the Berryville, Va., Conservator of
March 12, 1862, the first half of which
had been printed before the town was
captured. The inside was published by
the union soldiers as "The First Min­
nesota, there having been several
practical printers in the regiment. He
prizes this very highly, as well as a
copy of the Daily Citizen, printed
July 2, 1863, on the back of common
wallpaper.
REV. ATKINSON GIVES INTER­
ESTING TALK
The talk on "Law and Order," which
was given by Rev. Frank Atkinson at
the Congregational church Sunday
evening was well attended. Rev. Atkin­
son is an impressive talker and can
reach his hearers very nicely, using
stories which well illustrate the point
to be brought out.
He stated in his opening remarks
that the meeting was not called to
hold a "post mortem," but to foster
the work of securing a clean eity. The
liquor question and its relation to Iw
and order was spoken upon and Ice­
land, with its 78,000 inhabitants and
only one policeman, was taken as an
example, the sale of liquor b^in# for­
bidden within it boundaries. In speak­
ing of the present citv administration,
he said it had done well, but that there
was still room for considerable improve
ment.
