Saunders Bro'a. ad Jonteoi Talc 25c poi' can at Richland Drug Store -ad FIRES DESTROY , CHAIN AND HAY Fourteen acres of barley in the stack on the Kiest Ranch at Sparta was completely destroyed by fire at about noon last Friday. H. J. Haskins, the owner of tho grain, informs us that stacking in that field had ben completed shortly after 11 o'clock and the orew had gone to tho house for dinner, but before leaving he had looked carefully around and scon that everything was all right. The fire was discovered by the loouout on Buldy and the word phoned to Mr. Kiest who hasten ed to where Mr. Haskins arid the crew wore and informed them, but when the men arrived at the field th3 fire had gained such headway that nothing could bo done except to prevent the flames spreading to the stubble. Investigation disclosed tracks leading to and from tho stack, those were followed for same dis tance until lost among the rocks and it is tho general opinion that the fire was the woik of some incendiary. I On Saturday afternoon, more than ipp,tona of hay avail ''(Juried on Frank Murray's ranch in Dry by a passerby who gave the alarm but nothing could be done except to prevent the flames spreading to other property. About lOO tons was this year's crop and belonged jointly to Mr. Murray and Herb Lambert, and a small stack containing about 20 tons of 1917 crop was the pro: perty of J. A. Kirby. Mr. Lambert Lad taken out in surance on 50 tons a few days previous to tho fire, but as tho hay had never been divided no adjustment has been made. The firo was of incendiary or igin without questioo and it is to be hoped that the guilty parties will soon bo apprehended. New and Corrected Addresses of Our Boys in Service Ray F. Taylor " Co.
