dusk, a smoke raised, and the loca
tion, at once was cause for alarm by
the surrounding community. Judge
Krickbaum rode on horse back past
this nlace iust in the cool of day as
we finished a harvest field. After a
short conversation he passed on his
uiv. and we to our supper. The
oricrin of the fire is a profound mystery,
A horse, six head of cattle, harness,
wagons and all his farm implements
went im in smoke. The Tudee. on
his way home saw the fire, and return
ed only to find a dreadlul contiagra
mn of valnahle ruins. The insurance
on all the loss probably reaches
$1950. Not ten minutes before the fire
vfro Knrkhanm was at the Darn, ine
hired crirl had only a few minutes be
fore finished milking, and Benny
Gibbons and young Stauffer were
Kittinir bv the road near the barn,
and the whole building was a mass of
fire before any one discovered it. The
women at the house at first could not
believe the alarm of fire. The gates
and doors were fastened from within
and it was imnossible on account of
heat to reach the fastenings, and from
without the doors could not be open
ed to liberate the stock. Urdinaniy
it would not seem credible that so
n-iii4i nronertv and stock should
nerish with men and women around
and near the barn. It was a very
sudden and speedy ruin. We got
there as niiir.klv as possible probably
not over twentv minutes after the ap-
nearance of smoke, and the timbers
aireadv falliner iti. Over a hun
dred people from the surrounding
neighborhood, in less than half an
hour, came to render what help they
could. The whole community sym
jpathize with the family in this dire
calamity.

day for a two days stand with our
boys. The first game was an easy
victorv for the Blue Birds, who out
stayed their opponents both at Dai

batted rather hard, but Sperlin of the
visitors received a great deal the worst
of it. There were three home runs
in the game, Hallman, Goodhart and
Splain each having one to their credit.
