every man knew that no water was

The fire proved, however, to be in the

railroad, back Of the compress. No
water could be brought to bsar by the

OF Hill, who is hard working man.
There was no insurance on the build.

OF Mack Hill, was attempting to build
fire In the kitchen with tho aid OF a
lamp filed with oil, his mother being
in the other room. Ho succeeded, as
is usual In such cases, and his cries
brought tho startled mother TO his
