Fire At Marvin

Last Sunday morning about IL
o'clock, the residence occupied by w.
H. Cox of Marvin, was destroyed by
fire. The building was owned by
Howell Bros of Atkinson, and was
worth about 5000 with no insurance.
The fire was started from a defective
fiue, and was discovered by Mrs. Cox.
Neighbors rallied and attempted to
remove the household treasures, many
of them made dear by an association
of thirty years, but owing to the rap
ldity with which the flames, famed
by high wind, destroyed the build
ing were not able to secure much.
The loss is a very severe one to this
estImable family.

This is am other act of the 18th legislature which was passed unar imously and received the governors signature and was rati- fled by congress. There are people who believe that when this act was before congress that orr delegate hould have had the gold clause wiped out and lawful money clause insert ed.
