During the recent very cold
spell Mr.. A. H. Widney had a
very narrow escape from the loss
of his home by fire. While at.
tending the duties of his dairy at
the barn he discovered that the
roof of his residence was in a
blaze. He rushed to the well
pump and found it frozen. The
faucet of the cistern was next
tried, but it too was CONCEALED
with ice. He called for blanket,
which he saturated in a bucket of
milk, and climbing to the roof,
spread it over the increasing
flames. His son got rope and
bucket and mounting the cistern
promptly, drew water and passed
it to his father. The flames were
conquered with but slight damage
to the building. Presence OF
mind and prompt action saved this
home.

ORIGINAL COPY GONE
Commissioners Loaned Duplicate OF
Refunding Bonds and 1t Was
Not Retune6.

County Treasurer Boone received word
yesterday that one of the bonds recently
called in by the county commissioners
would be turned over. Thus far the hold
ers OF the other twenty-nine have not
turned them in.
The original copy Of the bonds is not at
the court house. In 1895 the commission
eTs loaned the copy TO the representative
oil a bond company and the instrument
has never been returned.
There viii probably be no further devel-
opments in the case until the next semi
annual dividend is due. If the county re-
fuses TO pay it, and it will if the commits
sioners insist on the withdrawal of the
bonds, the bondholders may bring suit for
the interest. This would brng the point
at issue into court and it would soon be
determined whether the county had
right to call IN the bonds.
The bonds were issued in 1890 to refund
so, 600 worth of bonds issued to the Rock
Island railroad in 1887. They are denomi-
mated 20-year bonds, but the law states
that the commissioners can cali in rail-
roao bonds at any time after ten years
from the date of their issue.
