DIR. j. C. Whitlock's Office al New
stead was burned Saturday morning
about daylight. 1t caught from a
defective flue. DR.. Jack Whitlock
was sleeping in the Office and had
gotten up and started fire in the
stove and shortly afterwards the fire
was discovered in the second story.
No water could be had and the fire
rapidly spread and The Office with Its
contents was totally destroyed. The
library, medicine. furniture, etc, to-
gethcr with the house aggregate a
loss of about 800 or $500, with no
insurance. Messrs. Wall n Me-
Gehee had some goods stored in a
part of the building, but we could
not learn what their loss was or
whether they had insurance.
Shortly after o'clock Sunday
evening an alarm of fire was given
on Maii Street. The alarm caused a
stampede from the churches and
with one or two exceptions the SER
vices were entirely broken up. The
fire proved to be Mr.. III. A. Phelps
cabin. His cook, Lou Broadie, had
gone to church without exercising
the proper caution about the fire,
which had rolled down and set the
house on fire. The cabins with all
their contents were entirely consum
ed, together with smoke-house ad-
joining. 1t was not close enough TO
endanger the residence and Mr..
Phelps would not allow the fire
company to tear down his yard fence
to get to the cistern. An immense
crowd was on hand in a very short
time. The loss was probably $3.50
with no insurance. Several nice
fruit trees were also killed.
