Ole Bulls Castle Burned.

Ole Bulbs grey old rock-bound castle,
which since 1852 has stood guard over
the inhabitance of Oleona, is a men,
ory, The great Norwegian violinists
home, perched on the mountain summit
overlooking that place, after years of
litigation and law suits as to its title
has at last been claimed by the fire
fiend and all that remains ofthe stately
edifice to-day is a few crumbling,
blackened, fire charred walls. The en-
ployes of the Lackawanna Lumber
company, which now owns the 10000
acres Ole Bull settlement, made a
determined effort to save the old land
mark, but Notwithstanding their brave
work, the rentless flames, devouring
alike man and natures handiwork,
swept the last vestige of sole Bulls
Folly' from the face of Potter county,
the scene of the grand old mans futile
attempt at colonization.-Potter Demo-
crat.
We clip the following from the Austin
Republican: The story Of the destruct
ton of Ole Bulls Castle near Oleona,
by forest fires this spring, is no doubt
the work of fertile imagination which
had never been on the spot. The
Republican scribe visited the old castle
last fall and found it to consist of
hole in the ground surrounded by a
crumbling clellar wall. Not silver of
timber was in sight to suggest that a
building ever occupied the site.
