Fire Fiend.
BIG PROPERTY LOSS
Postoffice Burned, Genera
Store nd Several Smaller :
Observation-Disclosures
Covers Loss.
(Stan Specially

Oval City, April 3.-Fire Wednesday
night destroyed the postoffice, large
general store belonging to Basil Wise
and several smaller buildings and for a
time threatened to destroy the greater
part Of the village. The loss will prob
ably reach $4,000, partially covered by
insurance.
The blaze originated in the store,
presumably from defective flue, and
was discovered about 1880 o'clock. 1t
spread rapidly to the other buildings
to which 1t was confined only by the
untiring effarts of the volunteer bucket
brigade.
Beside the loss of the postoffice and
store one of the smaller buildings con-
tanned the office of the township clerk
OF Plain township, whose records were
destroyed. All the property was owned
by Basil Wise.

CAUGHT BY Loo
Wagon Overturns and
lniures Teamster.

A. Fl. Schellenberger, teamster who
resides near Trump, short distance
north of Canton, was crushed beneath
a hugo log by the overturning Of his
wagon Wednesday afternoon, receiv-
ing injuries that will probably cause
his death.
Schellenberger was hauling logs for
a sawlnill near his home and was seat
ed upon heavy log loaded upon his
wagon. The road was full of ruts and
into one of these the wheels suddenly
dropped, causing the wagon to over
turn.
Schellenberger was thrown to the
ground and the wagon with its load
toppled upon him. When extricated
from beneath tho logs it was found
that his left side was crushed, his head
and face squeezed until the eyes were
forced from their sockets and his
whole body bruised and battered in a
terrible manner.
Schellenberger was removed to his
home where he now lies in an extreme
ly critical condition. DR.. Portmann
the attending physician, says that his
injuries are such that his death is al
most certain. Schellenberger is mar
ried and has two children. He was

The turquoise. although not credited
with either rcmedIol or protective prop
critics. SO fur as dlsease was concerned,
was nevertheless regarded rs kind
of sympathetic indicator. the intensity
of its color being supposed to fuctuate
with the health Of the wearer.
The latter, however, by virtue of the
stone he carried, could. 1t was said,
fall from any height with impunity.
The Marquis of vilena's fool, however,
was somewhat nearer the truth when
he reversed the popular superstition in
his assertion that the wearer Of tur-
quolse might fall from the top Of a
high tower and be dashed to pieces
without breaking the stone.

AN ECC@ FAMINE
Exists In Canton Since
Easter.
REASON IS UNKNOWN
The Trade of the City Is Said
to Be Larger Than Ever
Before In Every
Line.

Canton merchants are unable to ac-
count for the fact that there are no
eggs in the market. Stock was clean
ed up closely for Easter. but since that
time none have been coming in. The
little furry of cold weather was not
sufficient to check the supply, and the
fact that there is such shortage can
not be accounted for unIess 1t is be-
cause the weather has been so bad that
farmers have not been able to get to
town.
Wednesday morning one of the larg-
est grocery dealers in Canton stated
that he had not an egg in the store,
and the same was true Of other places.
The price remains at IS cents and deal
ers are anxious to buy at Is cents. A
day or two later it is thought that an
adequate supply will come forward.

PONY WITH HISTORY
DEAD AT SUNDANCE,

IN about the twenty-fourth year OF
his existence the small Spanish COW
pony known as Kid gave up the strug.
gle for life and died a slow death at
the ranch Of Sheriff Storm last week,
says the Crook County Monitor. Kid
was connected with many thrilling in
cidents on the range during the palmy
days of the 101 company.
Fourteen years 6 our sheriff
then a boy of rough-and-ready ways
and a candidate for all the glories and
privations incident to range life-be'
gan work for the 1O1 and Kid was one
of his string. No M pretended to ride
the familiar little pony but Del and at
the end of some ten years service the
company gave the horse to the devot'
ed rider, who long age p%ensioned the
little equine and turned him free.
The pony was n of the famous J D
brand and possessed better COW sense
than many meh who make this their
business. A remarkable feature Of his
career is that he never fell while rid.
