Which blinded him and weighed him

And went erratically
Where Right and Wrong held sway

While men, like puppets,
Bowed and fawned beneath him
But slid their troubles to his ashing

The Fire

Saturday morning about two o'clock
the property owned by d. G. kitzmeyer
known as No. l was discovered on fire.
By the time the alarm was give The rear
of the house was in sheet of flames and
it was only by hard work on the part Of
the fire boys that the main building Was
prevented from total destruction. The
fire pretty well Quilted the building and
with the damage done by water the loss
will foot up about $1,000, with no insur-

The fire was evidently Of incendiary
origin as the house has been unoccupieti
