Fire at BARLEY.

BARLEY, Neb., Feb. l3.-Four bust.
ness buildings were totally destroyed
by fire in this city Friday morning at
2 clock, and another so badly charred
as to render it practically valueless.
The fire originated in L, W Shorts
confectionery store and quickly spread
to Mr.. Shorts -four and feed store
A. j. Crawford's grocery store and D.
X. Filtcher's real estate Office.
The citizens Of the town turned
out enmasSe and worked valiantly In
saving the contents of Fletcher S real
estate office and plrt Of Crlmmel' )
goods until the fire compelled them
to desist in their efforts. The wind
was blowing gale from the north at
the time and for few minutes it
was thought that the Rollings livery
barn would be burned, but by heroic
effort the hre was prevented from
spreading to the adjoining buildings.
No insurance was carried on any of
the buildings and the loss will aggre-
gate So, 900. A. j. CIammer held in
surance OF $500 upon his stock of
goods. 1t - probable that some of
the burned buildings will be replaced
with new structures soon.

Fremont, Neb., Feb. 10 Swan S.
Bens-n, aged about forty, a section
hand in the employ OF the Fremont
railroad, was instantly killed at 6:05
Friday morning under the wheels OF
a freight car in the local Yards. His
death was pure accident, resulting
from his failure to hear the ringing

car nearest Benson and yelled to him
twice to get out Of the way, hut the

When picked up by Stratton and a
brakeman after the wheels passed
over bin, every spark Of life had fed
from Benson's body. He had been

length, after which the first set OF
wheels had run over him and stopped
about six feet beyond. His left leg
was severed above the ankle and his
right below the hip. His left leg
was also broken near the hip joint,
and his chest was crushed in in
fearful manner. There were few
scratches and bruises about the head.
The body had fallen across the track
