Death Of L. G., Peck.

Died, at his residence, at Hazelton,
April 10th, 1892, Loren q. Peck, aged
SO years and 4 days. From the Hazel
ton Express we clip the following bio
graphical sketch:
The subject OF the above notice was
born in Machias, n. Y, April ID, 1929.
The cause of his death was a chronic
dropsical disease. from which he had
suffered almost continually for several
years, but having been man of Indom-
liable will and energy, he had only been
out of active business for about year
Mr.. Peck came to Kansas and settled
at Anthony in 1882. In August, 1888,
he came to the present site of Hazelton,
and immediately commenced prepara-
tions to lay out the town, and from that
date until his death his interest in the
upbuIlding of HaZelton never waned.
The parks, and every street in town are
marks of his enterprise that may ever
be pointed TO with pride by the citizens
OF HazeltOn. Mr. Peck was ever fore
most in suggesting and carrying out
PAbho IOL IllO DCHcuI VI tu6 IOWu Ill gen.
eral, and his kind and charitable nature
won the admiration of even his most
bitter business competitors.
The funeral services were conducted
In the NJ. E. church, Wednesday after
noon, by Rev. B. F. Baker, and the re-
mains were buried in Rose Hill ceme-
terry in the presence of large concourse
Of citizens of Hazelton and vicinity.
He leaves a wife and four sons, one
brother, one sister and an aged mother.
Two of the sons reside in Ohio, his sis
ter in New York and the others here In
HaZelton.
The community in general condole
with the bereaved relatives in their
sorrow; yet, while coincidence does not
heal the wounded hearts, it binds more
firmly the sympathy of humanity for
one another, and thus the burden of
grief is lightened."

The Fire Near Canaan Valley.

Last Thursday August Anderson con- ceived the idea of burning over one of the hardhack pastures on the M. B. Tobey farm. He ploughed furrow around the "piece or parcell of land" in question and applied the match. Then the trouble began; the wind was high and the fire disregarded the furrow entirely and swept over tract of hun dreds of acres of woodland and pasture and incidentally burned up three or four miles of rail fences. One of Stiles Stevens barns came very near being destroyed, as the fire was headed off when within only few rods of it. A large force turned out and finally stop ped the fire in the woods by raking back the leaves. Much good was &C., complished by the burning of many acres Of old time hard hacks, but 50 acres of woodland on theTobey farm and 25 on the Stiles Stevens farm were burned over, so that the fire did more harm than good.

Lieut.. Totten,s Change of Base

Lieut.. Charles A. l.. Totten, U. s. A. instructor of military science and tao tics at the Sheffield Scientific School al New Haven, has been ordered to join his regiment, the Fourth Artillery, now in the far west, on Aug. l, 1892. Capt James S. Petit, First Infantry, now an instructor at West Point, will take his place.
 This change from the classic shades of "Old Yale" to the parched plains ot the far west, with red devils thrown in will go far toward convincing Lieut. Totten either that the end of the world has really begun or that his nonsense has gone far enough.
