directed to the question whether any

The method of assessment here PRO

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.

About two o'clock yesterday morning
an alarm of fire aroused the people
living near McDougals shoe shop,
where it was found that Mr.. R. Nc
Dougal had by some mysterious means
set his clothing afire and had run out
of the house and was rolling on the
ground extinguishing the fire with
snow. He was taken back and laid on
the bed and found to be quite seVerly
burned. The situation indicates that
he and one of his neighbors had loaded
themselves too heavily with bug juice
The neighbor who lives near by had to
be aroused and led home. Aside from
the severe and possibly dangerous
burns inflicted upon McDougal, the
fright given the neighboring women
was the worst damage doLe.-DeLamar
