EARLY noRNINd FIRE.
Andrew Hardy's Home In Ashes
Looted Then Fired.

Andrew ftardy's Home In Ashes
Looted Then Fired.
Fire was discovered about .
O'Clock this morning at the home
of Andrew Hardy on ID street and
2nd Avenue northwest. Mr.. Har-
dy has been absent since Sunday
at Durant and his daughter is also
out of the city.
The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry, George DeMoss who resides
near the Hardy home saw light
in the building about an hour be-
fore the fire was discovered, and a
lady who resides near the place
saw men on horse back near the
home. Horse tracks are plentiful
around the house and, for want of
better solution of the origin of
the fire. it is believed that the
house was looted and set on fire by
the guilty persons to cover their
crime.
The fire department responded
as early as possible under the cir
cumstances. One wheel of the
engine fell from the culyert at the
crossing of Broadway and Wash
ington and an unruly horse delayed
the department so much that when
the engine arrived the walls of the
building had fallen in and nothing
could be done. X. G. Farmers 5
home was saved by willing buck
ct brigade.
Mr.. Hardy's household goods
were insured with the Wolyerton
& Son Agency for $465. The
building which belonged to Rev.
A. G. Pickens of Wynnewood was
insured by the same agency for
$400 Mr.. Wolverton wired Mr..
Hardy this morning at Durant in
forming him of his loss.

We therefore note with pride the up-to-

one OF the afternoon trains from New York
recently we noticed 'broiled breast OF prairie

almost every dish that you could get on an

hot and appetizing. Recently broiled bacon
with eggs and broiled ham with, ezgs;ehave
been added to the menu. 4
