JURY GENEROUS H ALF With no one to fight the flames hut a woman o f 65 years o f age, the Hard half way house on the Bohemia road, was completely destroyed Friday, ac cording to word brought to the city Monday by E. M. Smith, the caretaker. His w ife was the only one in the house at the time o f the conflagration, which started from a defective flue. Mrs. Smith struggled to save some o f the furniture, but only succeeded in getting out a bed and a trunk containing some clothing. She was burned about the face in saving the latter. Mr. Smith was working in the woods a half mile away at the time of the fire and knew nothing o f it until Mrs. Smith went to him and told him that everything was gona. The entire possessions o f the couple were contained in the building. Mr. Smith is in hia 70th year and Mrs. Smith in her 66th. F. J. Hard o f Eugene, who owned the place, is in Neveda on business. Word has been sent him by Mrs. Hard and it is thought the place will be re built at once. The house is necessary for the accommodation o f horses and passengers on the stage line to Mr. Hard’s properties in the Bohemia Dis trict.
