Des trUctive Fire.

Shortly after midnight on Sunday the
family Of Mr.. Lewis Keller, residing on
the river about fOur miles south of this
place, were awakened by the cracking
noise of fire to find a large two story
frame wash and meat house situated
within a few feet Of the dwelling, had
Just fallon in a mass of flames, v bile the
roof of the wing and portion of the roof
of the main binding, a handsome and
comfortable brick house, were burning
6ercely. Mr.. ard Mrs. Keller and the
other members of the family had only
time to escape In their night clothes from
the sleeping apartments on the upper
floor. and save piano, sewing machine
and few other articles, some clothing
&C., from the lower floors.
The origin Of the fire seems SUSPECT
ously like the work Of incendiaries to
cover up the robbery Of Nr. Keller's meat
house
Mr.. Keller's son, Gilbert, returned home
about ~ O'Clock. and spoke to the dog
that was tied on the ground floor under
the room where the meat, about 30 pieces,
was stored. The animal which was lying
down renamed quiet and motion
less, and, although burned with the
building, never made the least noise that
was heard by any of the family, and the
supposjtion is that the dog was dead
when young Keller returned home, hsv-
ing been killed to prevent an alarm. As
the collar was quite lose, and the dog, q
shepperd, with heavy coating of Lair
on his neck, SO that he could have slipped
1t over bis head with but little effort, and
escaped the flames through an open door
tie suspicion grows stronger. Six par
italy burned pieces of meat were found
in the ruins but not vestIge of the re-
mainder.
The house belonged to Mrs. W. c.
Alther, of ST. Luke, sister of Mr.. Keller,
and was uninsured, cauing heavy loss.
Al! the household property belonged to
Or. Keller, and the loss to him is a severe
one, as well great inconvenience.
Bat for the fortunate awakening Of
Nr. Keller's son, just as be did, the fam.
lily, or at least portion of them might
have met with terrible death.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1894-02-23

Mr.. Robt. Martin. now on the staff OF
the Staunton Daily News. came down
from the "Hill City," on Saturday even
ing to spend few days with his parents
here aud mlngle with the boys who are
always glad to welcome hin among
them.
Mr.. Jacob Keller, Constable of Stone
wall District, received a severe ducking
in crossing the river last Monday. Jake
began to think that things were serious
and we have no doubt that his mind re-
yerted to the macy dogs that he had so
suddenly sent to the other world.
Charles Wright the yeuug man who
shot his father Mr.. Jas. Wright, by His-
take, at their residence few miles east
of this place, several weeks ags, died Of
brain fever on sunday night. The IN
fortunate young man who was about 10
years old, is supposed to have brought on
his fatal illness by great and worry over
the above mentioned accident by which
father was painfully but not dangerously
wounded, and from which he is rapidly
recovering.
The family have the profound sympathy
Of many friends.
Mr.. Samuel Hickman. one of the well
known river farmers of this section,
and an old citizen OF the county, died az
his home on the river q short distance
from this place, at an early hour on
Wednesday morning, after very brief
Hines of paralysis. A few days before his
death Mr. Hickman suffered a stroke of
paralysis while at the breakfast table,
this was followed by a much severer one
in day or two, from which be never
rallied. Few men were better known in
this section where he passed all the days
of his long life of nearly Il years, and
where he had many friends. He leaves a
widow but no children. He was a con-
sistaDt member of the Reformed congre-
CATION Of this place for many years.
We Inadvertently neglected last week
to chronicle the death Of Mr.. Joseph F.
Branson, an Old citizen of Lost River,
Hardy county, W. V9., a man most highly
esteemed and respected, and who was
well known in THE Place where he had
many warm friends. He died at o'clock,
on the morning of Feby, 18th, 1894. A
more generous, kindly hearted man, or a
more honorable and upright person has
seldom lived in this country, His door
was ever open to all and his home was
the seat of an unaffected and warm hos.
pitality that knew DO bounds. To the
poor of his section he was indeed friend,
and bis death will cause many sad hearts
and genuine regret in large number of
humble mountain homes. A few months
ago his noble hearted wife. to whom he
was most devotedly and lovingly attached,
died, and since then his decline has been
rapid. He would have been IS years old
on the lst of April. He was brother in
law Of MI Isaac Haas, and Mrs. Jacob B.
Clover, of this place. Truly a good man
has gone to his reward.
