containing some $40 in money, anG
perhaps some notes.-the is not certain
yet. The origin of the fire is as yet un
certain. Mr.. Staples arose about I
o'clock, built fire, and then returned
to bed, and in a short time discovered
the fire, and used every effort to extin
guish the flames, but that proving fulfil
he turned his attention to saving hi
: furniture, but succeeded in saving onl
part of it, the fire making such rapi'
progress that in less than an hour every
) thing was destroyed This is sever
blow to Mr.. Staples, being rendere'
homeless, with large stock of cattle o
: his hands just as winter is coming or
l The buildings, hay and grain were II
e sured in the Farmers Mutual for S270(
y and probably $4,000 would not replac
d them.-Reporter.
