found on Ibla and the grains from

Chas. Kubach's Barn Burns.

Sunday about six o'clock the
fine barn on Chas. Kubach's farm, five
miles southwest Of Abilene, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire. d. G. Wilson,
who is manager, and other members
Of the household were enjoying the
cool of the evening in the shade Of the
house, when all at once flames were
seen issuing from the roof of the barn,
the fire starting in the hay. All the
horses were gotten out safely, Mrs.
Wilson throwing her apron over one
obstinate animals head getting him
out Just in time. Six sets of harness,
eight tons of hay, 500 bushels Of oats
and lot Of new canvass for
header and binder were burned. Loss
$1,000, insured for $500.
1t seems almost miraculous that
the two large graneries were saved
from destruction. They were afire
several times but two large tanks in
the yard supplied plenty of water.
No wind was blowing or this tale
would have been different. The
graneries contained about l,00(
bushels Of corn and 5000 bushels o.
wheat.
Mr.. Kubach is hauling lumber
to replace the one destroyed.

tween Frank Eberhardt and VIM.

2:30 o'clock. The contest will be in

prove interesting sport. DeCardy
has easily proved himself the fastest
man in competion races but Eber-
hardt has shown the fastest speed in
record events. Both men are possess
ed Of wonderful physique and being
evenly matched and rivals for honors
lit Is impossible to predict the result.

Chapman Standard. Those who
vote for +. Z. Munsell and W. G.
Lewis for high school trustees will
certainly make no mistake. Mr..
Munsell has served on that board one
term and is better qualified to push
the work already begun than any
other man in the field. Mr.. Lewis Is
an educated man himself and will
make one Of the best trustees that in.

"A novel insurance company has been
organized, and is already doing large
business in Chicago insuring dogs
against loss, stealing or impounding.
This is done by registering the dog with
this company, with its full description,
and receiving a tag to be worn with
the city license tag. The company has a
man at each pound to release any dog
bearing such tag and return it imme-
diately to the owner. This is a great
advantage, as dogs often contract dis
eases in such place. II also saves
both dog and owner much misery, anx-
iety and trouble, to say nothing OF the
expense and tiresome travelling and red
tape which are necessary to rescue
dog from the pound.

A good story is told Of an Auburn

In the face Of the approaching event
was so great that just before the cere-
mony he inadvertently donned two
boiled shirts. When he came to pack
his travelling bag he discovered the loss
OF shirt, and an anxious search was
instituted for the missing garment.
The most thorough inspection Of the
apartment was made, but 1t was fu-
tile, and the bridegroom-elect cast re-
proachful glances at his best man,
who had assisted in the arrangements.
Finally 1t occurred TO the perspiring
bridegroom that he was uncomfortably
hot, and in q moment Of mental reac-
ton, he argued that, perhaps, 1t was
due to too much clothing lnvestiga-
tion showed the soundness Of his the
ory, and quick shift Of attire was
made The waiting company won
dered at the flush in the bridegroom's
cheeks as he entered the parlors, but
1t was all explained later.

WERE PRETTY SMOOTH,
Cattle Thieves Steer Clear Of the
Laws Clutches.

The Salina papers give some inter-
esting details in regard to the Dickln-
son cattle thieves which shows them
to be experienced hands at the busl-
ness. The Record says
Some time ago 2S head Of cattle
were stolen near Hope, in Dickinson
county, as was told in the Record
at the time. The Dickinson county
authorities traced the cattle to Simp-
son, up in Cloud county on the Solo
mon branch, and there it was learned
that they had been shipped to Omaha
Payment Of the draft was stopped
which was made to the shipper OF the
cattle, one Z. H. Young.
The draft called for payment for
twenty-one head Of cattle aggregating
1850 pounds at $40 and two other
injured ones at lesser rate, making
a total of upwards Of $500.
On August llth, Marshal Gilbert
was notified to look out for Z. ID.
Young, and soon after it was learned
that Young had retained a Salina at
torney to collect the draft g.,
Friday it was learned that Young,
who lives in Lincoln county, was to
be in town and the sheriff and county
attorney Of Dickinson county were
on hand.
Marshal Gilber. was on the lookout
for anyone answering to Youngs de-
scription, and during the afternoon
found a man whom he arrested.
The prisoner proved to be the wrong
man, however, for when David Ritchie
returned from Gypsum City he identi-
fled him as young man by the name
of O'Hare, who lives on a ranch near
Sylvan Grove, but who answers the
description given OF Young.
O'Hare was released, but he acted
so strangely that the officers become
convinced he knew something about
Young and locked him up. After
supper, Mr.. Ritchie procured his re-
lease on a writ Of habeas corpus, and
he is supposed to have left town
Sheriff Robson came up on the after
noon train, but had to 60 back with
out his prisoner. If he had followed
up O'Hare he might have caught bis
man, as some of the officers think
that c. H. Young is simply an alias
for one of the O'Hare's. The family
bears a hard name, and some of then
have been on trial for cattle stealing
before.
The Republican says that the officers
are mortified at Young's escape, as hi
has been about town some time
O'Hare is the son of the man convicted
of cattle stealing last winter and pu
in iail. He left town about five o'clocl
and it is thought that he was joined
by Young.
