a. Clark announces that he and Miss
Anna La Chappelle were married in

FIRE AT RIVERSIDE
Burns Postof6ee, Blacksmith Shop, q
Restaurant and Miss Pepple's
Store.

A fire occurred Saturday MORN
ing at Riverside which started in
the postofice building and spread
to the blacksmith shop, a restaur-
ant and Miss Peoples store, burn
ing all four buildings.
A. b. Exson, postmaster at that
place, was filling a gasoline stove
while the stove was lighted which
ignited the gasoline and caused
an explosion. Mr.. Exson was
badly burned about the hands and
face but it is thought he is not
seriously injured. The flames
spread rapidly and as Riverside
has no fire protection very little
could be done to extinguish the
fire.
Very little was saved from the
fire.
