Shortly before six o'clock Tuesday eve
ning, the house of Dave Howard caught
fire and was burned to the ground. ; Just
ljaw the fire originated is not known.
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
