A Farm Burning Up.

Hartford City News
The fire on Jesse H. Dowelrs farm, north
Of the city, is the most extensive of the
muck fires that have occurred in this Sec
ton OF recent years. About sixty acres
have been burned over. and many rods OF
fence destroyed. Twenty-Five acres are
still burning and the sight is one that at
tracts crowds of spectators. The fire does
not break out In flames but the whole sur
face il covered by dense smoke, the ground
In time assuming a dull red hue like burn
ing brick. 1t is impossible to extinguish
the fire and all the efforts are devoted to
saving property. The fire on the Dowell
farm is more disastrous than those who

actually burning up. The twenty-five acres
now burning is three feet lower In the CEN
ter than 1t was before 1t caught fire. and
the muck will continue to burn until IL
reaches the water line. 1t Is said that the
land will be utterly ruined as far as the
next W or three generations are con,

ashes shall blow away what was formerly
a green expanse of luxuriant blue grass will
be nothing more than q big pond as una
valuable for agricultural purposes as an
abandoned gravel pit In the course of a
wash into the big hole to elevate the sur
face above the water line. but Mr.. Dowell
does not expect to live 10 see the day.
There Is another big field OF muck. con-
tanning 10 acres. on the farm. Although
men are employed In widening the ditch
which separates IL from the field now burn
ing, IL is feared that the wind may blow
the FIRE over. In that case IL could not be
extinguished by any available method and
would continue to burn Until the water
line was reached. A heavy rain would
lessen the chance OF tho IRE spreading. but

ANDERSON. Ind. Aug. 7.-Some time ago
Mrs. Mary Croak, a well-known woman. OF
Anderson, died. leaving an estate that was
worth about $1,000. which was duly settled
by the courts and divided between her
daughters, Mrs. Margaret Pfafnin, of Con-
nersvilIe, and Hannah Carey, Of this city.
Yesterday, however, a skeleton appeared in
the person of John Dunn. who claimed to
be the undivorced husband of Mrs, Croak.
The daughters believed that their mother
had been divorced from Dunn, but there Is
no record to prove 1t. Twenty-Five years
ago Dunn and Mrs. Croak were married, but
after living together for a few months
Dunn disappeared and was lost to sight for
many years. In the meantime Mrs. Dunn
had resumed the use of her maiden name.
At Intervals Of a few years Dunn would
return to Anderson, but has not been seen
for about six years. Dunn claims his third
of the estate and has retained the firm OF
~Goodykoonts & Ballard to prosecute his
claim. The court records have been de-
stroyed and there are but few persons now
living here who remember their marriage
and subsequent separation. Dunn did not
learn of the death of his wife until a few
DAYS ago and came TO Anderson as soon as
possible TO secure his share OF the estate.
He stoutly denies the story of the divorce
and insists that he Is one of the legal heirs
70 the estate.
