out in the engine-room of Weidler's
numbering mills, in the north part of the

lumber lying west of the railway track
The loss is 100000.

Immediately after the alarm was
sounded four employees of the mill were

hayed at an old dead stump of a tree
thirty feet high and with no branches.
The party remarked that there was
certainly no coon up that stump Uncle
ike persisted there was. One of the

solid. No coon was in the tree. Uncle
Ike waxed indignant and declared he
would bet his two mules against $50

of the dead tree. After parley the whole
party waited till morning, previously
building fire at the foot of the tree
by which to keep warm. In the morning
up on top Of the trunk sat a large coon.

fire had eaten up the inside of the tree
and driven out the coon through a hole
in the side of the tree. The dog was
