Oskaloosa, Nov. 23.-Fire at Hedrick
last night destroyed eight business
houses and stocks. The losses will ag-
gregate about $50, 900. The heat was in
tense and surrounding buildings were
badly damaged. The town has no fire
protection and but little could be done
to stay the flames.
The business rooms destroyed and
the principal losers are:
y. Engledinger, drug store.
Connolly, drug store.
II. Smith, general store.
Harris & Cubby, clothing house.
Charles Wilson, restaurant.
Is C.. j. Hagan, general store.
q. Stout, barber shop.
In addition to these all the ware
houses back OF the stores and between
them and the Milwaukee tracks were
burned.
The telephone Office was located in
Engledinger's drug store, and while
the instruments were saved connec-
tions were destroyed and communica-
ton except by telegraph was cut off.
The heat from the fire was intense and
all the buildings on the opposite side
OF the main street were damaged. All
the windows were broken out, many OF
them being large plate glass. The
buildings destroyed were of frame and
old structures. This fact reduces the
|loss materially.

The swindles were first discovered
some time ago by Mr.. Oren Ruffcorn,
head OF the Big Store, and since that

the extensive transactions.
"A reporter called on Mr.. Ruffcorn yes

Were correct. He said the transactions
were OF q criminal nature. which if
prosecuted would put not only one of
those implicated, or a few OF them, but
from fifteen to twenty persons in the
penitentiary.
It Il said that certain employees Of the
store have been dispostng Of goods. and

these goods at these prices, because they

Oskaloosa, Nov. 49,. German fellow
about 40 years OF age, giving his name
as John Lendner, reported at police
headquarters Wednesday, evening that
he had been slugged and robbed. There
was no question about his having been
slugged, as his face looked more like q
raw piece OF meat than human coun-
tenance. He said his assailants were
two colored men, and that they had se-
cured 1886 in money and a silver watch
Search was Immediately Instituted, and
after several hours Policeman Seibert
and Sheriff Cricket located the suspects
at the Rock Island depot. "A search Of
their persons was made and the money
and watch found in their possession.
They were locked up overnight and on
Thursday morning were arraigned be-
fore Esquire Ross. They gave their
names as Ellsworth Burger and William
Phillips. and their home as Eldora.
Trial was set for this morning and H. r.
Thatcher retained as attorney for the
defendants.
Lendner says his home Is in Peoria,
ILL.,, and that he vas en- route there from
Minnesota. AT Grinnell he boarded an
Iowa Central freight train and found
Burger and Phillips in box car. They
agreed to ride in the side door sleeper
as far as they could without being de-
tected by the train men. After leaving
Lacey according to Lendners story, the
colored men held a private consultation,
and then when the train neared Oska-
loosa they both assaulted Lendner, beat
INN into insenslbility and robbed him.
As the train pulled into the yards and
slowed up the colored fellows jumped
on, leaving Lendner to his fate.
