FIREl
Charley VENTS Harness Shop
Destroyed.
Fire Boys Fight While Covered
With Ice.

Last Monday night. between 10 and
IL O'Clock, while stiff northwest wind
was blowing and freezing everything in
irs path, the fre-bell sounded the alarm,
making the people hustle into their over
coats in hurry.
The fire was discovered in Charley
Wentz's harness shop. by George Stiles.
who ran to the city hall and gave the
alarm. When the fire company arrived
on the scene, the house was full of smoke,
and but little fame could be seen. How
ever, as soon as hole was made in the
front window to admit the hose the
flames shot upward. The boys worked
hard. and against great odds. as the
freezing weather soon gave each one a
coat Of ice. The FIRE had gained such
Roadway, and the interior OF the build
ing was 80 dry. that it was impossible
to save the building and its contents.
The only thing the boys could do was to
save the adjoining buildings-Baxter's
feed store on the west and the Hub res
turaut on the east. For while, it SEEM
ed that thes. buildings must burn.
Had the water-works lake not been
dredged and the water run into basin.
it would have been impossible to get a
drop OF water. As it was, there was a
good flow of water. The city ows its
thanks to Councilman Farrow. who in
sisted on doing the work at the lake in
his own way. Otherwise, we would
have had no water to fight the fire.
The building which was destroyed be-
longed to ex.Mayor Setter. 1t was IN
sured for 5000. Mr. Wentz hao $1,000
insurance ON his stock of goods. Mr..
Setter knew nothing of the fire until the
next morning. when he came up town.
This was the last frame building on
the south side of the square, all the rest
having burned years ago.

Was II Suicide?

Last weeks Greeley Graphic gives ar
account of the death of Henry Fink, ar
old, respected citizen of Greeley neighbor
hood. Tuesday, we received an account
OF his death written by an old friend, as
follows:
"Our town and vicinity was
startled, Tuesday morning, as the fact
was made known that Henry Fink, who
lived mile northeast of this place. had
wandered away from home the evening
before, about dusk. A search was made
until late hour without any favorable
result, and as the night was dark, and a
dismal rain was falling, the search was
postponed till morning, when a search
ing party was again started out. 1t
was shown by his footprints north OF
the Missouri Pacific road that, in his
wanderings, he had run into shocks
of fodder, brush.heaps. etc and would
re-trace his steps. When he reached the
creek, he went up and down the bank
several times. He finally got into deep
wate-, and, from indications, he made
several, efforts to get out, but the bank
was steep, and he would slip back He
appeared finally to have given up the
struggle, and died in the water. where it
was about four and halt feet deep.
When found. he was in STOPPING pc.
sition. His head was not under water,
and there was no water in his lungs.
The consensus of opinion is that he died
from chill and exposure.
Deceased was favorably known
throughout the vicinity as an upright
man in his daily walk and conversation.
He was a Bible reader of ANALYTICAL
method, and his particular study was
the terror of the law. He was GO years
of age; was born in Lehigh county, Pa;
in 1854, married Delilah Swartz, and
moved to Iowa the same fall; in 1878,
moved to Graham county, Kas., and IN
1882, moved to Greeley, where, with
their son. Alfred, they have continuously
lived

An Unpleasant Surprise.

Last Friday. it rained and drizzled a
good deal, and it was warm during the
day. Toward evening, however, the
wind begun to blow from the northwest.
and wiseacres predicted blizzard. 1t
came, too-a real old fashioned one.
Saturday morning. the Thermometers
registered from seven to ten degrees below
zero. It was claimed by some to be cold
er than at any time last winter, 1t was
a very severe cold snap, anyhow. and we
hope we won't have any more like it this
winter.
LATRR-The thermometer still fingers
around below zero, and mick" Nichols
is putting up ice SIX inches thick.
