6 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1981 BIG DAMAGE CAUSED | ~ BY FOREST FLANES Village Destroyed, Two Dead, 125 Homeless, Great Amount of Timber Burned Milwaukee, Wis., April 20.—?)—A ‘wave of fire that swept across north- ern Wisconsin and upper Michigan, destroying one village, burning two! woodsmen to death, razing thousands of acres of timber and cut-over lands, and making 125 persons homeless, subsided Monday. Soaking rains in the northwestern part of Wisconsin quelled several fires and dying winds curbed most of the others. Blazes continued to flare menacingly, however, in three Michi- gan counties untouched by rains. Flames roared into Tipler, Wis., as! residents fled the doomed village. Only seven dwellings and the school house remain. Property damage was estimated by village officials at more than $300,000. The women and chil- dren were taken to neighboring towns. Charles Dryden, 45, and Louis Bruun, 50, both of Morse, Wis., lost their lives as they fought fires near there. In the Michigan peninsula serious blazes still burned in Menominee, Iron and Dickinson counties. Near Hermansville, Nathan, Nadeau and Randville, more than 1,000 men were fighting fires. Uncle Sam Sends Ships to Protect American Citizens (Continued from page one) - and one marine officer and all Amer- icans there were said to have been evacuated, no warship was left in that. port. New Policy Followed Instructions to ship commanders in Honduras conformed with the new American policy adopted last week to- ward Nicaragua. They were to limit their operations to the protection of American lives and property in coast towns, not sending forces inland. A strict neutrality is to be maintained. There appeared, too, some differ- ence in the activities of insurgent forces in the two countries. General Augustino Sandino in Nicaragua has been bitter toward Americans, and men following him were credited with; the nine casualties. William C. Dufour, counsel for the Standard Fruit and Steamship com- pany, said he had been advised Gen- eral Ferrara does not intend to harm any foreigners or to damage their property more than is absolutely nec- essary. Ferrara is one of the best known generals in the country. He led an unsuccessful revolt in 1924 and is un- derstood to have aligned himself with neither the liberal party of Presi- dent Colindres nor the opposing na- tionalista group. The trouble was credited principal- ly to unemployment. Week-end Mishaps In Northwest Take Lives of 7 Persons (Continued from page one) burned to death after his automobile crashed into bridge near Indepen- dence, Wis., and burst into flames, Oscar Hanson, 65, died Monday of injuries received a week ago in Min- neapolis.

Editor, Trnbune: In a recent issue of The Bismarck Tribune an article appeared relative to the action that has been taken by the committee appointed contingent, with the erection of a new state capi- tol. To one not informed in the duties of such a committee it would appear that the delegated individuals have taken a seriously active interest in their intended objective. However, the report continues that the commit- tee is being delayed in furthering its Program of preparation by the absence of Mr. Bangs, of Grand Forks, whose business interests apparently are of a very urgent nature. In all justice to his state, and with conscientious consideration of the citi- zens of the state, doesn’t it seem a bit unwise that one individual should impede the immediate steps for con- struction? Granted the wisdom of| caring for personal welfare, wouldn't it be more practical to witness 2 mem- ber on the committee who would have Plenty of time to devote to the work at hand, who could give his undivided | attention to such an important mat- ter? The general condition of political organization is a lamentable state of irresponsibility, with a few notable ex- ceptions. It is unpleasant to think that the said incident is such an example; much less unpleasant would) be the knowledge of facts to the con- trary. JAMES E. GORMAN, Fargo Might Have A New City Auditor Fargo, N. D., April 20.—(?)—On the eve of the reorganization of the new Fargo city commission which is to take place Tuesday, it is reported that A. R.
