DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Frank Minnette'S Livery Stable
and Germania Barn
Burned.

Early on Friday morning fire was
discovered in the livery stable of
Frank E. Minnette, corner Third and
Pine-sts., and the flames progressed
so rapidly that it's salvation was i'm
possible. The fire department re-
sponded promptly and in force and
held the fire in check-all that could
be expected under the circums tances.
The stable was large building, old
and dry; and including the addition
purchased by him on the Ebenstiner
lot, was 90x30 feet with a shed for
buggies attached. The stable was on
the ground floor and above was the
hay loft, well filled. When the fire
was discovered, the hay was all ablaze
and the flames were breaking through
the roof. There were six good horses
in the stable, together with robes and
blankets valued at $3.50, harnesses
we'll worth S75, and feed and hay to the
value of 1925. All was totally de-
stroyed. Mr.. Minnette's house is
about fifty feet from the.barn, and he
was aroused soon, but too late to save
his horses. He opened the stable
door butwas driven back by the flames.
He succeeded in getting out cow and
and calf and the buggies were saved
from the open shed. The Ebenstiner
house, thirty feet from the fire, was
saved, but it's rear was badly damaged.
The Germania House barn, adjoin-
ing the burning building, was soon on
fire and completely wrecked. although
the frame was left standing. The fire.
men did splendid work in limiting the
fire, as stiff wind was blowing from
the south, carrying burning cinders
Tor north. One set the mill barn on
fire, and one the roof of John Boutelrs
house. Both fires we're speedily ex-
tinguished. The losses are: F. E.
Miunette, $500, no insurance; Mrs.
Gaspard, Germania House barn $500
insurance $500; Ebenstiner house 500
fully insured.

Died, after an illness of but a few
hours, Mrs. Sarah A. Campbell Bot
kins, at the home of her grand
daughter Mrs. G. M. Woodruff in
Minneapolis.
Grandma Botkins was we'll known
in Sank Centre and esteemed by all
for her excellency and sterling worth.
Sank Centre has been her home for
more than twenty years. Her hus-
band died here in 1881. She was born
in Illinois more than seventy-five
years ago, and was married there at
the age of eighteen. A son survives
her, Will Botkins of N. OAK, who
with the granddaughter Mrs. Wood
ruff followed her to the grave. She
was buried from the Adventist church
where for years she had been a devot-
ed attendant and of which she was a
consistent member The church had
been tastefully decorated with ported
plants and profusion of cut flowers
adorned the casket.
Her death will make sad break in
the little home at Minneapolis, and
the heartfeltsympathy of many friends
is extended to the surviving members
Of it.
