 Maurice Clark came near having the house he lives in burned.

He located the fire and with. water soon put it out, the castings, mantel piece and side of a cupboard being ablaze. The fire started in the fire place, back of a sheet iron board, there being in the brick jamb a 2x4 piece of -studding which set the castings on fire.

A LARGE SALE OF DAIRY STOCK,

Dea George S. Humphrey and son, B. G. Humphrey, sold on Monday of last week their fine dairy of 40 COWS, all of which were raised on their farm near Romford, to Frank H. Turking- ton of Morris. The Messrs Humphrey are fortunate in possessing about the same number of young stock which will soon give them another dairy as large. Mir Turkington we'll knows a good thing in cattle when he sees it and while paying a good price for this dairy he will soon be prepared to fur nish to any farmer wishing to replen- ish his stock these COWS at as reason able a price as possible at this season of the year. The dairy will not go from here till April 6, which still gives MT Humphrey and son a chance to de liver at the railroad station each day seven cans of milk for city market.

BALM FOR HUMILIATION.
Rev. Robert D. Price is Sued fol
$4,000 Damages.

Papers have been served on Rev.
Robert D. Price at his farm in Rapi-
dan in a civil action started by his
son-in-law, r. A. Rogers of Eagle
Lake. Rev. Prices name is unpleas-
antly connected in the suit with that
of his granddaughter, Anna Cecilia
Rogers, aged eighteen years. 1t is
claimed that for three years, from
1898 to 1902, the young lady acted as a
servant in the family of her grand
father, and the alleged improper con-
duct of the defendant that forms the
basis for the suit is claimed to have
taken place during that period. For
the disgrace and humiliation brought
upon the young lady's family by this,
Rev aRFTiqa. is sB sskksgd t&9 q ygsss44S9o $4,000 t tee
the plaintiffs attorneys. Friends of
the parties hope that the matter may
be amicably adjusted before coming to
trial. Rev. Price denies much that
is in the complaint.
Rev. Prices second wife was last
week granted a divorce from him, the
amount to be paid al alimony having
previously been agreed upon.
