Marshaitown went thru the Fourth OF

OF the alarms to be turned in came Very

we're doing most OF their celebrating
and for time half DOZEN business

During the evening a public dance
was in progress in the old court house.
In the rear of the a. T.. Myers store ut
lis East Main street and adjoining the
dance hall large quantity of gasoline
in a tank in large box. A fifty-gallon
tank had been filled that morning and
but little had been drawn from it. Some

into the tank. the oil escaped in a
stream and ran out on. the pavement OF

by, and the next firecracker that was
thrown in that vicinity caused the trou-

AS 1t was the woodwork in the rear OF
the Myers grocery store. the Evans drug

fire was extinguished before it had
gained the interior of the rooms. Two
bullet holes We're found In the gasoline
tank and one of the bullets was found
Thursday.
The second fire was shortly after 5
O'clock on t, y evening of the Fourth,
and it is presumedAthat it originated
from sparks from skyrockets. The fire
was at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles McGowan. COS West Boone

Not being able to procure assistance she
secured ladder. carried bucket of
