The old groceryman was in front OF
the grocery in his shirt sleeves, with
a watering pot in his hand, trying to
brace up some wilted lettuce that had
seen better days. After all attempts
had failed and the lettuce laid down
in its bed with an appealing look, as

the old man acted as though he

Bad Fire at BrOdhead,

A fire, the origin of which is mys-
terry and will probably always remain
unknown, occurred at Brodhead Friday
morning and resulted in the total de-
struction of three buildings and consid
cradle damage to fourth. The entire
loss will at least reach $4,000. The
alarm was rung in at half past two and
the flames ragged furiously for several
hours. The fire department under Chief
Brcderick worked heroically, but before
the confagration could be placed under
control the Pierce & Marshal hardware
store, the Manager opera house and the
Carroll & Vance grocery were entirely
wiped out. The saloon building adjoin-
ing was badly damaged.

court Owen had taken the disconnect-
ed end of wire of the company and
hung it up in the pump house on his
farm. While combing his hair before a
mirror in the pump house near this coil
of wire in 1908, he was struck by flash
of lightning, apparently coming from this
coil of wire. He brought suit and was
awarded $1,000 damages, but the court
held there was want of ordinary care on
the part of the plaintiff, which contrib
uted to the injury" The plaintiff NOV
