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
