KelIy's Saloon


The last two or three issues of
the FREEMAN have contained ref
erences and communications con-
corning the outrage inflicted upon
the community at Volcano juno
tion by the County Court of Wood
county in granting license to Mr..
James Kelly to keep a saloon at
that place.
On last Saturday afternoon as
the railroad track-foreman was
burning trash along the roadin the
vicinity, the saloon took fire from
the burning brush and was con-
sumed.
We rejoice over no mans calam-
ity, and regret always the destruc-
tion of property by fire. But the
community that has so long been
cursed by this saloon, would gladly
pay Mr.. Kelly all his losses if they
could thereby prevent the saloon
from ever being rebuilt.
The "stock in trade" was saved
as we are informed. 1t is reported
that it would not burn.
