Fire was discovered in the basement
of the John Peters house Thursday
evening, which was put out by few
pals of water. A few minutes later,
another blaze started in the attic clos
ct, thirty feet away from where the
first fire was discovered, and made
such Roadway as to burn small hole
| through the roof. This also was put
out by a small hose which connected
with the village water faucet. On
Friday another fire was discovered in
the cellar, and later, straw bed was
| found on fire in one of the chambers.
The house is not insured, and it is eV
ident that somebody, either out of
reason, or with malicious intent, is
trying to burn the building.
Henry Noe had a drunk last Tues
| day and caused quite a commOtion on
| Church street by driving a broncho in
on the dead run, striking the bank in
front of the Cong. church and throw
ing himself head foremost nearly
across the street, the buggy turning
| over on the side. The horse ran up
Water street until stopped by some
! body that way, when it returned and
drew the carriage square over Noe,
who was too badly stunned or drunk
to get up out of the road. Help arrived
and got him on to his feet, and finally
carried him to his home on Peters St.,
where he passed a very uncomforta-
BILE night. The magistrate went up
Wednesday morning and gave him
the usual dose for second offense with
a bill of costs, amounting, all told, to
| S16.51. He claimed to have obtained
his liquor at the Glover town agency.

Rev. E. K. Reynolds, large con-
