Think Fire Started To Get Revence
Underwood Journal: A fire occurred at the home of Ole Gradin, seven miles southwest of Underwood, in which Mr. Gradin lost his large barn and everything there was in it except the stock.
Mr. Gradin was returning home from Underwood with a lad when, within a mile and a half of home, he noticed his barn was on fire. He put the whip to his horses, who had been taking their time, and arrived at the scene in time to cut loose fourteen head of fine work horses. As the last horse left the barn the floor fell in nearly catching Mr. Grandin as it fell. All that remained in the barn were a calf and a hog that were unable to get out.
Beside loosing {sp} the barn, a large amount of hay and oats were burned, together with twelve sets of harnesses and some machinery. The total loss is about $2,000, as it was partly covered by insurance3.
The cause of the fire is a mystery, but it is thought some convict that had served his time at Bismarck and wanted a revenge on the ex-sheriff is the one that did the deed.

Dave Crowthers, who was lost eighteen days on the prairie between
Fort Buford and
Tongue River, is in the city. Dave says he got pretty hungry. He found some meat poisoned for wolved and eat it thought he knew it was poisoned. He says it would not remain on his stomach but he cleaned it and eat again and for eighteen days lived or rather starved on such rubbish as he found about the old camping places, suffering terribly at night from the cold. Dave's mind still wanders at times but it is hoped that he will soon recover.

FARMER IS TIRED OF SOCIALISM; HE TELLS THE WORLD, TOO
An incident, typical of the anti-Townley meetings, occurred at a meeting at Baldwin, Thursday night when Rev. Birchenough and Frank Streeter, Victory Ticket candidates for lieutenant-governor, addressed the crowd.
After the speeches a farmer walked up and said:
"I believe every word you fellows said. I'm sick and tired of this bank of North Dakota grafting and I don't want anyone classing me with a socialist, nor do I want a socialist state."
With these words he threw his "I'll stick" button into the weeds.

The font and style of this "article" are significantly different than the rest of the newspaper. I believe it is an anti-Nonpartisan League advertisment. "I'll Stick" is a reference to A.C. Townley's quote, "Make the farmers pay their money to join and they'll stick - stick 'til hell freezes over."
