returning to the house they were hor.
rified to find the cradle OH fire, and
the poor little child so terribly burned
it died in a few hours. The origin OF
the accident is unknown with GER
tainty. Some think a coal of fire
must have popped into the cradle ;
another theory is. that, as it was
playing with calico string, this may
have caught fire, AMI been pulled in
to the cradle. 1t was buried last

THE FIRE FIEND-IT pEvAsrArEs MOUND
CITY.

On last Friday night fire broke out
In Mound City in this county, which
came near destroying the whole town.
The fire was first discovered about ten
o'clock in the stables connected with
the Central Hotel. The alarm was at
once given and citizens from the town
and surrounding country promptly re-
sponded.
The stables and adjoining building
contained number of horses, two
cows and calves, and several head of
hogs. These animals were all driven
out before the flames reached that por-
ton Of the stable in which they were
confined.
The fire having begun in the hay
NOW. It was useless to try to save the
building. and all hands abauda,ed It
and worked to save the hotel and other
buildings near by.
Fortunately there were three good
wells and a large cistern near the build.
ing. and as the wind was not high the
men were able, by the use of wei blan-
kets, to keep the heat from igniting the
other buildings.
At one time it appeared that Mr..
zell u Bros lumber yard. adjoining.
must surely burn, but by hard work
they were saved.
The only property destroyed, besides
the barn and Mr.. Cranuers corn crib,
which stood just across the alley, was
two sets Of harness, a plow, feed cut
ter, a lot OF hay and corn, and few
other articles OF little value.
Ifthe fire had ever reached the hotel
or any Of tho adjoining buildings. notL-
Ing could have saved tho property In
that block. and the north wind would
have sweptthe whole business portion
Of the town.
The fire Is supposed to have been the
work Of an incendiary. and several Gus
picious persons have been loafng about
town for some days. are now missing.
