Waterloo, Sept. 3O.-Fire broke out
about $50 last night in the Hosteter
Furniture Companys large store and il,
an hours time had caused $40. 600 loss.
The origin of the fire was unknown, but
is supposed to have started from rags
used in vanishing furniture. The alarm
was given soon after the fire started,
but owing to the inflammable material
and losseness of the stock soon spread
to every part of the building. The fur
niture stock is d complete loss. The
undertaking department was damaged
by smoke and water and the building
was completely gutted The gravel
roof confined the flames to the interior
of the building, which doubtless saved
several other frame structures which
We're near. Two families living over the
undertaking establishment succeeded in
moving most of their goods. E. L. Hos
teter, proprietor, estimates the loss on
the stock at $4,000; building, $4,000. with

Threw a Can of Lye on Him.

Sioux City, Sept. 30.-S. Mcintyre, of
Burbank. lies in Samaritan hospital
in this city suffering intense pain and
almost blinded from the effects of can
of concentrated I've thrown into his face
by an Infatuated woman of Burbank.
The woman was Mrs. Walsh and the
deed was committed after Mcintyre
had refused to acknowledge the pa
ternity of her child. The woman had
Mcintyre arrested several years ago for
bastardy, but the case was dismissed.
The other day she appeared at Bur-
bank and asked Mcintyre why ne had
denied the paternity of the child. He
replied that he was innocent and would
have nothing to do with her. The
woman, evidently prepared, hurled the
can of I've into his face. 1t is possible
that Mcintyre will recover, as it cannot
be told at present whether the loss of
sight is permanent or only temporary.

bya strange Reing.
Diagonal, Sept. 3O-Editor Times
Republican,: This community is much
excited over the sudden appearance OF
a wild or insane man or some animal OF
the ape species, just which is yet UNI
determined. 1t was first seen about s
o'clock in the morning at the residence
of Mr.. Sam Crooks, four miles from
this town. Mr.. Crooks had gone to
Diagonal and there We're only two
women and an infant in the house at
the time of its visit Mrs. Crooks and
her daughter, a girl of 15 We're engaged
in household duties when the window
was darkened, and looking up they saw
that the cause was huge man-shaped
being, nearly seven feet high and COW
cred with long black hair or with
clothing of skin. 1t was as black as an
African, but it's face as we'll as it's body
was so overgrown with hair that the
features We're not distinguishable. Mrs.
Crooks was so terrified that she ran
out OF the door and fell fainting in the
yard. The girl grabbed the baby from
the bed where it was sleeping and tried
to escape by the same exit, but was
prevented by the wild man, as the OBJ
ject is called here, who stepped over
Mrs. Crooks and entered the house by
the same door through which she made
her exit. Once inside, the wild man
kept up a muttering, growing noise,
which occasionally swelled into roar.
and constantly beat it's breast with its
great hands or hairy paws. Seeing
some biscuit in pan on the stove
hearth, it seized and devoured them.
The terrified girl by this concluded the
animal was hungry, and Immediately
placed on the table additional food,
(which 1T deyoured in the same rayenous
manner. 1t then went out and started
toward the timber, half mile distant
When it was probably quarter of a
mile from the house a party of hunters
drove up and stopped to get some
water. BY this time Mrs. Crooks had
recovered her senses and between the
girl and herself they managed to detail
enough of the occurrence to cause the
hunters to alight and unloose their dogs
and give chase, but the wild man
gained the timber in advance of them
and disappeared. He was seen again
at noon by the children at the Clayburn
school house, and about in the after
moon called in the same unceremonious
manner as at Mr.. Crooks at the house
of Mr.. Frink, where there were only
4 two children, a daughter OF 15 and son
