Duell, who are engaged on a tie contract left for their work early and hardly commenc ed when they heard screams in the neighborhood of Mr. Duell's home, which is within one-forth mile from the Tanner place. Knowing that some thing serious was the matter, they started for their homes, and when they had gone but a short distance they were told that "Bert Tanner's house is on fire." Rushing to the rcene, the worried father was glad to see his motherless children standing under a Bhed. Bert rushed into the burning building, hoping to save his pocket book, containing $l4O and valuable papers, but the flames drove him back. Neighbors saved some furniture but most of which was scorched and ruined All of their bedding and clothing was destroyed. It is a total loss a:,d a ter rible blow to the more than unfortun ate citizen. The loss on house and furniture is about $2,000 with no in surance. Mr. Tanner was at Empori um last Saturday and is at a ions what to do. We sincerely sympathize with him, as do all our people, but what good does that do. It will not rebuild his home, neither will it clothe his children. But, friend Tanner is full of | grit aud hard work and will not sit down and "cry over spilled milk." The Best Outdone.
