Dixon farm, about seven miles east of this city. The grain was mainly oats and was estimated nt about 800 bushels. Fire evidently started from a spark from the engine of J. T. Spaugh's thresher, which had started work there only a few moments before the lire was discovered. An alarm of tire was al once raised but the Humes seemed to envelop the stacks of grain almost like a lla.di. The engine was stopped, the big drive belt thrown off and the engine was run around to the rear of the thresher. There, after three or four attempts, a chain was fastened to the machine and it was drawn out of danger. The self feeding attachment of the machine was burned. The grain was a total loss, with no insurance. .1. RLAKELEY'S CAR LINE. Mcdford Council Puts Question of u Franchise up to People.

He also agrees to pay his pro at a of Die cost of Improving nuv of he streetH of the city along which the lines of his company extend. Will Hasten Work. Mr. Iliakeley stated to the council ast evening that the sooner the mat 'er Is acted upon the sooner lie can jet to work, lie wishes to have the Seventh street track laid before the pavement is put down, ns this will mean a saving of about $2700 tu his company. The franchise grants to Mr. Blak ley I he right to lay tracks upon Itfverside avenue nnd Seventh street 'rom city limits to city limits aud upon Third street to Holley, on Holly 'o Eleventh, on Eleventh to Central avenue, on Central avenue to Twelfth ind on Twelfth to Riverside avenue. As most of the citizens of the clly are nllve to the advantages to be de rived from an Intern rhan trolley linn, the franchise will probably be sustained at the election.
