Ate. X. Bones camp, on the East
Side ditch, one day last week, great ex-
citement prevailed for awhile. Mr..
Bones horse skip, quite a pet, was fol-
lowing Mrs. Bone about tie camp. She
passed gunny sack lying on theground
near where the men were at work. The
horse has a habit Of picking up gunny
sacks and door mats and shaking them
like a playful pup would do. Skip seized
the gunny sack, and the men, as quick
as they saw it, yelled to Mrs. Bone to
take the sack away from him. Mrs Bone
attempted to take the sack, but the
horse held on to it, The men left their
work and rushed to her assistance, and
by the time they got ready to grab the
sack the horse dropped it. The sack
contained the giant powder and caps.
Geo. +. Goes dwelling house was dis
covered to be on fire last Thursday even
ing. Some one in the house had struck
n match to light lamp in one OF the
upstairs rooms, and the match was
thrown to the floor. 1t was large par
lor match and lodged in the sleeve OF a
garment hanging behind a curtain. Mrs.
VIM. Rand, living next door, gave the
alarm, and in very short time about
20 men gathered to put out the flames.
Ed Fewel rushed up stairs in the house
and grabbed the curtain all ablaze and
stuck it in basin of water, and the
flames were eXtinguished before the
family were aware that their house was
afre. "Adding Fewel to the flames" for
once had the effect of putting them out.
The third winter for this winter is now

to see his shadow. Sunday a few flakes
of snow kept flying during the day.
Tuesday morning about 4 inches OF snow
covered the ground, with a brisk east
wind. Wednesday morning the mercu-
ry went down to % degrees above zero.
The day was clear and pleasant. Thurs
day morning the thermometer ranged
about as low, and as we 60 TO press the

The Smith brothers, George and Soc
rates, seem to be in a hard line Of luck
lately, as to getting hurt about the face.
| Not long ago George met with an accl-
dent while working on the railroad
which nearly cost him an eye. Last
Monday, while Socrates was. watching
his brother and Andy Mel boxing, he
made an effort to get out OF the way
when he came in violent contact with an
oak tree and the rough bark of the tree
roughened and removed goOdly portion
of the bark from his face. Moral-Nev-
er bark up the wrong tree.
