The COW that occupied the barn was
in the feed lot. Some feed and tools
burned 1t is not known just how the
fire originated. The alarm was turned
in and the fire department responded
to the call but as the barn had been

The police just couldn't hold the
small boy back. He was ordered to
hold his enthusiasm for the Fourth,
but with the decorations and street
attractions running full force on the
third and every sign of the national
holiday in evidence, they just couldn't
do it and early this morning there
was popping of crackers and torpe
does and blanks and the thing was off
The noise will therefore hold for the
two days and those who cannot stand
it will be compelled to stuff cotton in
their ears or remain in a noise proof
room. The spielers early joined in
the fuss and things in general became
lively at a very early hour.
