The bonee is situated near where the C & E. and S. P. railway tracks -cross, about a mile from the central part of town. -0' " ' 'S'r ---- - : ' Residents nearby noticed that the dwelling was on fire ana rasuea 10 ine assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Howard; Mrs. j. F. Yates telephoned up town that there was a fire in progress . just north of the city and the fire bell was rang, and, by the way, it doesn't ring the best in the world. Firemen and citizens gauiereu at the engine house, but when it was learn ed where the fire was, they concluded not to proceed to the place, as ft was so far out and there being no water supply, no assistance could be rendered. ' Daring this time those who bad reach ed the scene of the conflagration . were ; doing their utmost to save what they could from destruction. -The greater part of the household effects were saved from the flames. In a woodshed that was close to the house several cords of stove wood was stored. This wood, as ell as a number of cords of 4-foot wood, moved by the men who worked like demons, but although moved, it was not placed at a sufficient distance from the flames and was consumed. The fence leading to the barn was torn down and in this way the flames were kept from reaching that building. The fire was a most fierce one and spread with great rapidity. There being no way of securing water, the omy : inmg 10 u was toaave what was portable and per mit the flames to run their course. .... This is a great calamity for Mr. How ard and family. He practically lost his l l nd was left homeless. 'It is under stood that there was a small insurance on the house, but it will not anywhere near cover the loss. Lumber is high and carpenters are in demand at good wages, and, as Mr. Howard said, M I can't build a house with windV" Those wha.were at the fire contributed $11 or $12 on the spot to assist the family in their dire ne ceasitv. and a paper was "circulated and iiv-oHtr anhsr-rihed to in the hope Of helping Mr. Howard to meet the.loas he has sustained. .' '. Mrs. Howard states that the first inti m,nnn oi.e had of the fire was from a boy. The latter is said to have thrust his head through thedoor and exclaimed, 'Your darned old house is on fire," Tocf R.mrlav the house came near jjoaw m j catching fire. The children had a play house that adjoined the residence, and in some way they set fire to their minia- fciint mansion and but for the fact that a tub of water was nereby, the house in n litoiihnnil- would have gone up in smoke on this occasion. . " .v'i. Prosecuting Attorney Bryson, who prose cuted the boy in Justice Hoi gate's court. The case was called at 9 o'clock Wednes day morning and Judge Holgate imposed the lightest fine allowed by the statutes, Ii5. The law 3toea ' not allow jDhina pheasant shooting ;before the first of Oc tober and why sportsmen, young and old, will persist in Ignoring this section and laying themselves liable to ?fine or inv prisonment is a, -mystery. The lowest fine for euch an offense is - $15 and costs, or imprisonment : fb "a certain period, or. both iise and imprisonment." The maxi mum fine , is $20C- of imprisonment, or both. I So. it will be seen that it is liable to be a pretty costly bit of sport to kill a China pheasant daring the close season. ; As a warning to'; thosa-who might be inclined to assume the risk of killing a few birds between now and the 1st of next October, we desire to state that in formation has reached us to the effect that a deputy game warden will be kept in this section of the country until the open season for shooting pheasants be gins.
