LOOTED, THEN BURNED.
The Navarro Fire Was Kindled
to Cover Up a Wholesale
Robbery, 1t Is Said.
Special to News-Democrat.

Special to News Democrat.
Navarro, Sept. 1S-Fire this morning
gutted the grocery and clothing house
Of James n. Loud, at this place. The
building was partially saved, but the
stock is total loss. The fire was one
of the most destructive and stubborn
that ever visited Navarro.
1t was discovered about 3 a. m. when
Ray Smith, who. lives in the Rochester
house, heard cracking in the build
ing nearby. He quickly gave the alarm
and the fire department turned out in
quick order. All that could be done was
done to extinguish the flames which by
that time had gained considerable head
way. William Siffert, who sleeps in
the upper story of the building, was
gotten out on a ladder with some diff
4, Guilty. The main. building was only par
}tially saved.
Mr.. Loud carries some insurance in
mutual companies but not nearly suffi-
cient to cover his loss. The loss on
building and stock will amount to $500,
with about $4,000 insurance. Mr.. Loud
would not say this morning whether or
not he would rebuild.
Navarro, Sept. 19.-It is learned that
the fire in the general store Of James
Loud, here, on Monday night was in all
probability kindled to cover up an ex-
tensive burglary.
Evidence tends to show that thieves
visited the store shortly after midnight
and hauled away quantity Of goods
in wagon, then fired the building to
conceal the crime.
The fire had gained such headway by
the time the hose company arrived that
little could be done to save building or
contents. The firemen found that the
glass basement door, which fronts on
the canal, had been broken before they
came and that the heavy iron bars had
been slid out of place. The marshal is
sure that it was through this door that
the thieves carried away their plunder.
Persons living in the neighborhood
say they heard three teams cross the
bridge, near the store, shortly before
the alarm was sounded. 1t is supposed
that the burglars were numerous, and
We're well prepared TO haul the spoils
away.
Citizens are today making subscrip-
tions to fund for the relief Of William
Sinert, who lost all in the fire.

Something About Trees.

The stems of trees have provision
for a symmetrical arrangement of
branches, the nodes or points where
the buds are produced, being placed
at regular intervals. This tendency
toward symmetry is, however, inter-
fered with by several disturbing
causes, internal and external. The
most important of the former Is the
varying degree Of vigor in the buds,
which behave like distinct plants,
some OF them growing into strong
branches, while others produce COM
paratively small shoots.
Even If all buds We're of equal vital
ity, regularity would not result. Many
of the buds and tender shoots are de-
voured by birds, insects or squirrels.
When of larger size, branches are Of
ten torn away by high winds, blasted
by lightning, or broken off by acci.
dent. A tree will sometimes grow
into an irregular form through the
pressure of prevailing winds. This
irregularity has also its use. In a
gale of wind 1t will be observed that
the branches sway In all directions,
and the various movements counter.
balance each other. II the branches
were arranged with perfect regularity
they would all sway together, and the
leverage would be so great that the
tree might often be uprOoted or brokek.

Pcrchance thou many times hast failed,
Some weakness over thee prevailed,
And thou hast faltered in the strife
And sadly rued thy blighted life;
Though great thy grief and keen thy pain

Dwell not upon thy mournful past.
Arise, and for the right stand fast;
BE strong and brave, fold not thy hands,
For thee still flow life's golden sands;
To better things sweet voices call
And God in love rules over all.
