Tuesday morning people along the lower
portion OF Main street became somewhat
excited because of the burning out of the
Magog house chimney and the roof catch
ing fire around it, but the fire was quickly
extinguished without calling the aid of
the hose company.
At two o'clock Thursday q. M. the fire
alarm sounded and the fire proved to be in
the mill of the Peerless Bobbin Co. It
must have been burning some time, as it
was beyond control when the hose COM
pany arrived and the entire building was
consumed. We are told there was but
little insurance.
Rather peculiar accident occurred In
Batesville Thursday afternoon. Mrs.
Vance and friend were driving up the hill
when the horse stumbled and in his effort
to keep from falling, in some way broke
the traces and holdbacks, thus freeing
himself from the buggy, which immedi-
ately began to run backwards, down the
hill, the occupants trying to stop it by
of no yUh
passerby seeing the state of affairs, came to
the rescue and cramping the wheels
around succeeded in bringing the vehicle
to standstill. Mrs. Vance's hand was
severely bruised and cut, but beyond this
and the breaking of the harness no serious
damage was done.
