A Sad Fate,

The fruit evaporator of John Ii. Stump,
situated about n mile west of Armada,
burned on the morning OF the 18th at
O'Clock. At that hour four men who work
in the building all night heard a noise, but
thinking IL was the wind paid no attention
TO it. Going out shortly afterwards they
found the building was on fire and at once
gave the alarm.
Elizabeth Stump, sister OF the pro-
prietor, a young woman of %, lived in the
building with another family. The latter
made their escape but Miss Stump was
shut in by the flames. Her brother, who
lives with his family in separate build
ing. tried 20 break in the door 20 save her.
but failing in this raised ladder against
the side of the building and attempted u
rescue from the window. While trying to
break the window in the fire burnt through
the ladder and Stump fell 70 the ground,
dislocating his hip and suffering internal
injuries. He was carried home insensible.
His sister persisted in the flames and por-
tions Of her charred remains were found in
the ruins.
The evaporator was one of the largest Of
the kind in the country and will be a
serious loss TO that village a. il gave en-
ployment TO fifty persons. At the time OF
the fire II contained about 1900 bushels of
green apples and two or three carloads of
dried fruit.
The loss is estimated at from $1,000 TO
$4,000 and there is no insurance. 1t is
not likely that Stump will rebuild.
