Michigan City. n. D.-Monday
morning, Jan. ., near the hour of six
the home of Mrs X. Il. Doherty burnt
to the ground with Il loss of every
thing, says the Nelson County In
dependent The fire originated in the
kitchen and when noticed was creep
| ing up the paper on the wall. Attempts
| We're made with a blanket to smother
| it but to no avail. Then so suddenly
did it spread accompanied with such
dense volumes of smoke that the fam
| lily barely escaped with their lives, one
being compelled to jump from the up
stairs window. When the alarm was
turned in the engine was put into
working order with very little loss of
time and soon powerful stream of
water was turned out and in fifteen
minutes it would have been entirely
sulleIched, but the packing around the
cylinder head blew out and the engine
quit. The flames burst forth again
and spread with such rapidity that the
safety of the ofticc--which was but
three feet distant--seemed almost
| hopeless Under the cool guidance of
Jasper Smith, the printer, ready hands
cleared the shop Of everything from
top to bottom, from the files to the
forms, without the loss, Or mixture
of single type-a task seemingly al
most incredible, and due as much to
the observation-disclosures Of the printer as
to the care and toll Of the helpers.
All those who aided us we wish to
| thank sincerely, rs friends in need are
friends indeed We have the deepest
| feeling of gratitude over the result of
heroic efforts in saving the office. In
the future as in the past it will he
! our earnest endeavor to follow along
our pathway in life happy in our sur
rollndings and blest with the priceless
gift of true friendship.
