Henry Lawless last week killed near Glenwood a large black bear and brought to town a quantity of the meat to treat his friends with . Some of the parties to whom it was given have a prejudice against bear meat and so they were told that it was deer meat.. In several cases it was nicely roasted and the ones who did not like bear meat cat litartily of it and pronounced it fine. Game of nil kind have been quite plentiful this fall all about here, one or two deer having been killed right on the edge of town, v. w. c. t. u. SOCIAL. On Saturday evening this week the Y. W. C. T.

Both the Dynamos Destroyed, I'm HiigiiicUuined aml Noth b"t the Boiler Escaped. On Tuesday morning about 6 0 clock the people f Cottage Grove were startled by the ringing of the fire bell and the shrill cry of fircl fircll fire!!! i an amazing short space of time almost the entire population were out on the streets and rushing wildly to the scene of the blaze. It was found that the Electric Ught Plant owned by A. Nelson ami situated on the west bank of the Const If oil: at the north end of town, was in (lames and the fiery tongues of red heat were shooting into the heavens one hun dred feet high and could be seen all over the valley. I he wildest excitement prevailed and many men rushed through the mud and slush of the streets in an endeavor to render any timely assistance they could. The hose was carried with great difficulty to the corner of Wall and River streets, where the nearest hydrant was to be found. As soon as con nections could be made about 400 feet of hose was laid to the burning building. Owing to some difficulty in finding the fire plug wrench to turn 011 the water the flames had nearly devoured the building be fore the stream of water was finally turned on. However it was just in time to save the private resi dence of Mr. Nelson, which ad joins the plant, for the heat had got so intense that iu a very few minutes more the building would have been at the mercy of the flames. It was so apparent for a time that the residence would be come a prey to the fire that most of the household belongings were moved out upon the street to a point of safety. The plant was closed down about 1 o'clock at uightas has been usual and the fires drawn and everything put in shape for safety, and it is a mystery as to how the fire started some four hours after the buikjing had been closed up. When the fire was first discovered it had gained the most headway in the cast end and seemed to have originated there, at the end the boiler is located. Many surmises are advanced as to the probable cause which led up to the fire, but it' is doubtful if the immediate cause will ever be known. On the plant was an insurance of $1400 and the loss of Mr. Nelson cannot be ascertained until after the appraisement is made by the writers of the policy he holds. The burning of this enterprise will cause a great deal of inconvenience to the patrons of the electric liglit, and for some time to come they will have to go back to the burn ing of oil lamps. The rainy season seems to have set iu for keeps and the roads will continue to be more cut up, so as to make the hauling of lumber for rebuilding a more serious matter as the days go by, and the people who have depended on the electric current for light must now nrovide 'some other beacon flame or prepare for a season of gloom. It is much to be regretted that this loss to Mr. Nelson has come nnd he has the sympathy of the com munity in his hour of trouble, and it is earnestly to be hoped that he will nut forth every effort to re establish himself with a first class lighting plant in the near future.
