Another Schoolhouss burned In Wells
Township.
While by no means the largest
nor wealthiest, W'ulls township in
this county has for years carried
tho banner for educational prog
ress and moral reform ; and no
other township has turned out a
greater number of sous who have
won distinction in the battle of
life.
It was Wells that was first, in
this county, to take advautage of
tho offer of the State to assist in
the establishment of township
high schools, and through the ju
uic.ous management, oi uiescnool j lt Plcnsant Grove school Jan 15

and, with the State a,d, save thejet? a. llow do you prevent tar-
lars.
But now trouble begins:
emy oi progress appears; ana
during the night of November
27th the school building is fired,
and with all its furniture, books
and apparatus, is burned.
Nothing daunted, the board, en
couraged by their constituents,
proceeded to place a contract for
a new and better building. Jas.
B. llortou took the contract, and
the building would have been
completed Monday, but about 4
o'clock Monday morning the new
building was discovered envelop
ed in flames ; and daylight found
nothing but a smoldering bed ot
coals and ashes.
The board meets to night, and
will proceed to build another ;
and, as an added precaution, will
purchase a well trained blood
hound ; for had they been in pos
session of one of these animals, it
would have beeu an easy matter
to have had tho incendiary Mon
day morning.
