Bay brought in branch from a
peach tree in T. J. Nevitts orchard
Tuesday evening, bearing peaches of
both the first and second crop. While
the first crop was yet green, the tree
put forth second lot of blossoms
and the second crop ripened while
some of the first still clung to the

Fire was discovered in the south
room OF the Clipper building at IL
O'Clock Friday night by Claude
Bridgeman and Ed Hadler, who had
been to the concert in this city in the
evening and were returning to the
country. The room has been used by
the Clipper as a paper room and gen.
eral ware room for some time past.
When first noticed, the fire, covering
a space Of about three feet square,
was located in the southeast corner
Of the ceiling Of the room, but the
Goals, dropping on the floor, immedl-
ately caught in the loose paper and
trash. The flames soon spread through
the side Of the building into the upper
story Of Bozman & Co.'S hardware
store, occupied by DR.. Janeway
as an Office and by the ball boys as a
club room. During the fire n. E.
Pierce walked off the back end Of the
Clipper building and fell TO the
ground, distance of about fifteen
feet. He had an ak in his hand at the
time and 1t seems strange that he es-
capped unhurt. Two kegs Of powder
were stored in the upper part Of Boz
man & Co.'S hardware store, directly
in the path Of the fire. When taken
out the kegs were so hot as to be un-
comfortable TO the touch. FOrtu-
nately the damage was slight, except
to the buildings, which were insur-
