Tuesday afternoon at 9 o'clock the
residence of Patrick Cantwell on Hill
street, Mayfleld, was burned to the
ground. The alarm was sounded by
the whistle at the GlenwoOd breaker
and in short time William Walker
Hose company was on the spot. Upon
the company's arrival the flames had
gathered such headway as to battle
their attempts In fighting them. All
efforts were then directed towards the
saving of adjoining property. The
dwelling including all the furniture,
etc. was burned to the ground. The
fire was caused by the falling of Goals
on the floor from the kitchen range,
and in the absence Of all the members
OF the family soon gathered such head
way as to destroy everything. Mr..
Cantwell will rebuild Immediately.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Parties from the Last Chance Quarrel
Over Water.

Parties from the Last Chance Quarrel
Over Water.
1t 1t usually something stronger than
pure spring water that cause fractures
and Quarrels In domestic life. but a
case was heard at Alderman Jones. OF
which this same spring water was the
principal cause.
The parties in the case hailed from
Last Chance settlement, as the place
Is outside the water limits. the water
Is secured from O spring near by.
Among others who use the spring are
Mrs. Whitman and Mrs. Mooney. The
women had quarrelled about something
and had not spoken for some time.
Mrs. Mooney was at the spring one
day when she saw Mrs. Whitman COM
ing, and deliberately rolled the water
so Mrs. Whitman was obliged to wait
for 1t to clear.
This trick was repeated time and
again until the little patience Mrs.
Whitman possessed was totally con-
sumed by her fiery temper, and she
proceeded to talk to Mrs. Mooney In
language which Is not found IN the
dictionaries. This incensed Mrs. Mooney
and the result was that both had war
rants sworn out against the other.
At the Office of Alderman Jones they
still kept up their war of words when
the Alderman threatened to have them
both committed. They then decided
they would try to live more peaceably
and were discharged.
