TEEN and confidence Of the Cuban

them.''

can officials who remain behind may
count themselves fortunate if, when
the time comes for them to leave the

spect and good wishes Of those whom
they in turn leave behind as Gen.
Brooke is about to do. The Cubans
have had no better friends than the
American officers

culiar accident, resulting in death, oc-
Cured at the elevator of S. Stewart.

search was Immediately made to To-

clothing so tightly drawn around his
throat that he had been choked to

supposed that he had crawled under
this set of bands to adjust or oil the
machinery and that his jacket had
caught in the band and thus strangled
him.

"Who was it any way" is the ques-
ton now puzzling the residents of
College avenue. Tuesday night, wo-
man dressed in black and of a very
rough appearance called at the resi-
dence of |. c. Libby and inquired
where II. |. Libby lived. She was told
and after a few moments chat went on.
She next called at the home of Mr.
Mitchell and made the same inquiry.
From here she went to several of the
houses in the neighborhood asking the
same question at each. She finally
mysteriousy disappeared. The neigh
borhood was aroused by its strange
visitor and turned out to search for
her but no trace of her could be found
When last seen she was near the home
of L. c. Libby but where she went from
here could not be learned. Wednesday
morning, however. after comparing
notes. those who had been in the search
the night before concluded it was some
man maSquerading in woman's clothes
but who ii was is still in doubt. A col
| lege boy who lives in the neighborhood
was accused of the deed but he Stoutly
| denies it. The neighborhood was, o.
| the evening of the strange visitation
considerably excited but is now uncer-
tain whether il is joke or a mystery

FIRE AT WINSlOW.
SeIden G. Reynolds Loses Buildings Loss.
$1,000: Insurance 5000.

An alarm Of fire was rung in from
box 81. Wednesday morning, at 6
o'clock. The fire was in Winslow and
therefore the department could not go
across the bridges out Of the city with
out orders from the chief. The fire
was in the house of Seldom g. Rey-
nolds. about a mile below the Ticinic
bridge. Winslow has no means OF
lighting a fire and little could be done
to check the flames after they had
once started.
The city department would have
been useless had it been able to have
gone over, as the nearest hydrant to
the building was about three quarters
of mile away. The neighbors turn
ed out and fought the blaze in the old
fashioned way but could not save the
house and ii was destroyed. Most of
the furniture was saved. Two hogs
and Il new set Of double harnesses and
a single set were lost.
Loss. about $1,000: insurance. $500 on
the house; $500 on the furniture. The
cause Of the fire is not definitely
known. Mr.. Reynolds hired man was
at work in the stable when he discov-
cred the fire in the end nearest the
railroad.
The house was just across the road
from Mason's and has been recently
remodellCd and repaired. The loss will
be heavy one for Mr.. Reynolds. who
is a young man just making his start.
1t is probable that the fire will start
some action in the town towards OBJ
tanning some protection from fire.
The question has been brought up in
the town meetings several times but no
action has ever been taken. Efforts
have been made to have hydrants put
in near the house that was burned,
yesterday. but they have failed. The
plant Of HOllingsWOrth & Whitney is
protected by its own fire department
and apparatus. The Ware saw mill
has a water tower to protect it. Aside
from these there is no apparatus of
any kind in the town for fighting fire.
The large crowded tenement houses
on the Sand hill are wholly unprotect-
ed and if fire should once get a start
in that locality it would no doubt in
short time cause the loss of money
enough to purchase sufficient appa-
ratus to protect Il town twice as large
as WinSloW.
