county bought lot of furniture at 5.
Il. Deckard's shop, and had 1t packed
on a wagon with straw, and were on
their way home as far as H H Weir
Icks restaurant and confectionery
where the stopped to get some
cigars. When they were about to
start one Of the men lit cigar on
the wagon, and threw the match a
way but the wind blew the lit match
back OF the wagon, which set the
straw on fire. 1t blazed up very
quick, and not being seen right away
there was n large blaze before it was
seen. The horses became frightened
and unuanageable and had to be un.
hitched. BY that time a crowd WIS
collected soma being prepared with
buckets, and the fire was soon extin
gujshed. The cans bottoms were
bIrned out Of several chairs, and
. some Of the other furniture wa.
badly scorchcd, but not irreparable
, The damages amounted to probably
