The many friends OF Mr.. and Mrs. K. L.
Curtis will be sorry to hear that they
have lately sustained very serious loss
by fire at their farm near Moorehead,
MINI. About IL o'clock on the night of
the 18th of December, MIR. Curtis
nephew, who was sittir z up late for the
purpose of study. noticed a red glare
through the window and on going outside
discoy cred that the big barn which
stood about 200 feet from the house was
on fire. He Immediately gave an alarm,
but the family only got out in time to
zee the roof fall in. The barn was 60x52
feet with large wing on one side and a
root house on the other. In the barn
were thirteen horses, nine cows, thirty
three hogs, 100 chickens, carriages and
machinery of all kinds; all being destroyed
but three OF the horses and az they had
been united and driven from the barn it
is presumed the fire had started from the
sparks from the pipe OF some tramp who
might have taken shelter there from the
cold, il being 20 degrees below zero at
the time. Mr.. Curtis estimates the dam
age at about Sc. 900. upon which he only
had 81 200 OF insurance.

The News understanding that some oil

in the National Church Mutual Fire In

the interest OF our people called attention
to the statement that had been going the
rounds OF the press that the association
was not authorized to do business in this
State. One OF our resident clergy men
who is interested in the matter, clipped
the item and sent it to Iowa, which
brought out a letter from Mr.. Furnas,
the secretary, threatening the NEWS and
editor with all sorts OF punishment Tor
reprinting what the writer chose to call a
libel. The letter was forwarded to the
insurance commission. Since then we
have learned that the commission has
been firing some hot shots at Brother
Furnas, in which he states that the asso-
citation is not even authorized to do bus
mess in it's own State, Uowa) leaving
ont Michigan. That ministers and
others acting upon the request made in
the circulars sent out by the association
would become criminals under the laws
OF the State. and winds up the letter
with the following scathing remark:

ton, fraud upon the state in escaping
taxation, lnducement of others to CON-
init crimes, personal cowardice and pious |
hypocrisy. The trustees OF the churches |

Supreme Court yesterday from Justice Law

The Telephone Company is beginning to put a
