FIRE LAST NIGHT,
Bon Ton Bakery Burned Loss Not Esti
matedInsurance One Thousand
Dollars.
About 10.20 last night fire was dis
covered tn the roar of the second story
of the Bon Ton Bakery, whloh was oc
cupied by Peter II. Smith, proprietor
of bakery, as dwelling. The fire alarm
was given and tho fire company quickly
responded but by tbe time they got the
water on the fire had a good start and
It looked as If tbat building and tho
buildings on each sldo, all frame build
ings, would certainly be devoured by
the fire fiend, but with good water force
and good work on the part of the flro
men, the fire was confined to the one
building, and only tho roof and upper
part of that building was burned. Mr.
Smith, wifo and children were at Mr.
Smith's store In the Doiblo block when
tho fire started and the origin of fire Is
unknown. It started In the kitchen.
Only a few things were saved out of the
second story but everything was saved
nut of tho store and bakery. Mr. Smith
did not know this morning what his loss
would amount to. He carried (1,000
Insurance. Among the household goods
destroyed was a new piano.
Mr. Smith expects to build an oven
iu rear of his store In the Delblo brick
block and will continue the Bon Ton
Buknry, but will only run onestoro.
The building was owned by E. L.
Evans, who lives In the adjoining build
ing and conducts a grocery store. Mr.
Evans did not have any insurance on
the building. Tbe roof of the one story
building on east sldo of Bon Ton, an old
roof, was so badly damaged by firemen
walking over It, that the occupant of
tho building,. Mrs. Anna Hendricks,
will have to move Into another building,
as Mr. Evans will not repair either of
tho old buildings but will have them
torn down.
Tho fire company from West Reyn
oldsvllle was at the fire in good time and
did good work in helping to control tbe
flro.
When a fire ggts as good a start in an
old framo building as tbe fire had last
night and the fire companies get control
of It before the fire gets outside tbe
walls of the building It started In, It
shows that tho firemen did good work.
At one time It looked as if it would be
Impossible to save the buildings ad
joining tho Bon Ton.

Chick-Corn Club's Second Raid.
A year ago a Cblck-Corn Club was
organized In Rcynotdsvllle and the first
raid of the club was on a farmer's corn
fleld not far from Roynoldsvlllo. The
second raid was mado on George Bur
top's chicken coop and shcopfold In
Boechwcods on tho night of August
4th. Each mombcr of tho club received
the following notlco :
To all mombors of tho Chick-Corn Club.

nauso tho start must be mado at 6.30

Sixteen members of tho club met on
time at tho placo designated in the
command served on them and, wore
driven to ''Sunset Camp" In Tapper's
tally-ho, a delightful trip out, but the
homo coming was different. The man
who hired tho tally-ho thought it
would bo a hugo joko on the mombors
of the party to walk In from "Sunset
Camp," a distanco of eight miles, and
the gentleman arranged with driver of
tally-ho to quietly drive off home and
leavo tho party. Several mombors of
tho Chick-Corn Club mado a raid on
Georgo Burtop's chicken coop and
carried seven or ulgbt chickens into
camp and dressed and cooked thorn.
Other members of tho party carried a
lamb Into camp and would have
slaughtered it, but ono mombcr of the
party objected so strongly that the
mutton was not killed and there was no
lamb on the bill of fare.
When the party was roady to start
homo at 1.00 a. m. Friday tbe tally
bo could not bo found and tho only
thing to do was to walk homo. They
came Into town about 4.0Q a. ra., some
of them with sore foot and ruffled
tempers. The joke was too long.
