A RECTOR FIRE.
a Widows Unisured Home Consum
ed Last Night.

A one.story six-room residence
owned and occupied by Mrs. Mary
Rogers, ADD situated about two
blocks southwest of the Richard Al
lea Institute on the outskirts OF the
city, caught fire about eight o'clock
last evening and owing to the very
great distance the building was sit
uated from the fire limits, it was
soon consumed by the flames. The
building was valued at $500.
Mrs. Rogers home had been in
sured but her policy had recently
expired and she was unable to re-
new same owing 10 the prevailing
antitrust law.

A QUEER ACCIDENT
Happened On the 1on Mountain
Road Near Town.

The north bound Iron Mountain
passenger train was delayed about
thirty minutes Tuesday afternoon
by a slight accident, which could
have been a very serious one and
much death and destruction might
have certainly resulted.
A 9out three miles south of here
the land on either side OF the track
is flooded with stagnant water. AS
the train neared this point, big
clumsy oak tree fell across the track.
Luckily the wood struck the boiler
of the engine just above the cow
catcher and was thrown to the side.
The engineer quickly reversed his
throttle and stopped the train. The
force Of the tree injured the big iron
structure.
The damage, which was of a very
slight nature, was soon repaired and
TIE train continued its journey to
this city. The oak had decaYed
from the long standing water. If
the train had been a few seconds
later, it is no telling what serious
damage would have beea done.
