Tempest in a TeaDOt

Because he gave him some fatherly
advice, William Schwefel, hale and
hearty farmer of Lebanon, which is
near WatertOwn, claims that he was
subjected to tongue lashing from a
rural mail carrier name Cruel, and
his complaint was forwarded to Wash
ington by the Milwaukee postoffice.
Schwefel lives on the line of mail
route No. 2, and last November put a
silver dollar in his mail box accom-
panied by request for stamps. He
claims that the dollar was taken, but
that no stamps were left instead, and
that at first Cruel denied receiving
the money, but later admitting that
he did. Schwefel says his fatherly ad-
vice consisted partly in an observation
that .'if he was kept warm enough

FIRE AT CLYMAN.
The Northwestern Depot and the Water
town Grain Compsny's Elevator
Wiped Out.

Yesterday afternoon the village of
Clyman was visited by a disastrous
confagratlon which completely de-
stroyed the elevator of the Watertown
Grain company and the depot Of the
Chicago and Northwestern railway
The buildings joined one another and
were rather old structures. The total
loss is probably about s.. 900. Between
5000 and 600 bushels Of barley re-
Gently purchased was contained in the
elevator.
The fire started in the depot build
ing from detective chimney. Dur
ing the morning an incipient blaze
was discovered Lear the chimney, but
was extinguished and it was supposed
everything was all right, but about 5
O'Clock in the afternoon the blaze
again broke out aud. famed by the
high wind, spread rapidly to all por-
tons Of the double building. In less
than an hour the structure was a mass
Of ruins.
Through the herculesn efforts of
the ''bucket brigade formed of ely
man citizens the lumber yard south Of
the elevator was saved. Had the
wind blown from the southeast instead
OF the northwest, in all probability
the entire business section Of the VIII
lage, consisting of a dozen or more
buildings, would have been consumed
At 4 O'Clock word was sent to this
city asking for the assistance of the
fire department and the Silsby engine,
but it was later ascertained that the
lumber yard was saved, SO assistance
from this end was not needed.
Herman Wertheimer, manager Of
the Watertown Grain company, says
the barley destroyed was insured for
$4,000, but there was no insurance on
the building and machinery. He es-
Inmates his company's net loss at
about $1,000. The railroad com
pany's loss is probably nearly as much
more. The grain company will prob
ably rebuild the elevator
