Our town had a narrow escape
from fire Sunday night, some bad
one setting fire to some hay but
few feet from Bissing's big tank
of crude oil for his engine, evident
ly wanting to see big blaze, but
fortunately it was discovered early
and the quick work of our fle
company with a hose from Alex
Bissing's, with $4,000 gallons of
water at their command, quickly
put it out. The fire bug evident
ly wanted to see blaze, so half
hour later set fire at John CUNTS
which was quickly put out. If the
fire bug gets caught it means 10
years in the Pen.

a fire protection was fully proven.

ly wanted a blaze as 1t was LIT IN

All good may you the Fates accord,
And Heaven, when blows the final blast
As men long tossed by ocean gales,
When food is gone and water fails,
Shall welcome harbor lights at last.
AS famished hordes with palIid lips
Shall bless the corn of coming ships,
From Kansas fields so fair and vast,
AS hungry beasts may stalk behind
The caravan in hopes to find,
Some missionary for their fast.
AS tribes through Egypt's wilderness,
Upon their starving way did bless,
Celestial mama downward cast,
So, value |, the note you write,
And bring with me an appetite,
Huge as this bountiful repast
I drink your healths good lord & dame,
Old ages best, respected name,
And Heaven when blows the final blast.
