LARGE BARN BURNED
Corn Husl<er Causes a Disastrous
COnilagratiOn.
Bedding Bros And Mr.. Pickard, The
Man In Charge of the Farm. Both
suffer Loss-Partialiy Insured

The large barn on the Belding farm
caught fire Wednesday forenoon about | Q
o'clock and burned to the ground together
with all its contents. A spark from an
engine used in running a corn husker is
supposed to have been the cause.
The alarm called out the fire depart
ment but the hose was not ussd as there
are no hydrants in that locality. The
firemen, however, worked hard with
buckets and succeeded in saving the 9TH
er buildings near it, A large amount Of
hay and grain belonging to Mr. Pickard
who runs the farm, was consumed, as was
also the machinery, tools and farming i'm
plements belonging to the Belongs.
Mr.. Pickard's loss is estimated at $500
with no insurance. The total loss on the
barn and machinery was about $4,000,
with an insurance of S2,loo carried in
the Wagner agency. The loss is severe
one coming at this time of the year and
especially so to Mr. Pickard.

Albert Ohlinger Bert who has been
the assistant foreman in the spooline
room at the Richardson silk mill for the
past two years was made the recipient Of
a fine gold band ring Tuesday by the en-
ployes in that department in recognition
of his services and Of their respect ano
esteem for him.
1t was great surprise to Mr.. Ohlinger
when he was presented with the gift by
Miss Green, but he was equal to the oc-
clsion and made a neat little speech ir
thanking them for the remembrance
which he said would always be highly
priced by him. He has been transferred
to another department in the mill and the
employees under him regretted to see hin
go from their room.
The ring was beautiful one and finely
engraved with Mr.. Ohlingers initials.

RECOUNT BATTLE ON
Hearst May BE Mayor of Greater New

Hearst May BE Mayor Of Greater New
York-CIaims lie Was Elected
The battle for the recount of the ballots,
which, according to the Murphy returns
re-elect Mayor Mcclellan by little more
than 5000 plurality, began Tuesday
morning Every effort possible will be
made by Murphy and Mcclellan to pre-
vent the plan for recounting the votes.
Counsel for Mr.. Hearst will carry every
dispute to court. and they are very san
guine that before New Years day it will
be legally decreed that he and not Mr..
Mcclellan shall serve as mayor of New
York.
The method of attack on Mcclellan S
title was outlined by one of the counsel
for the Municipal league Monday. 1t
starts with the statement that change
Of about 800 votes on the face of the
returns would dethrone Mcclellan.
Eight thousand, one hundred and TWEEN
ty-nine ballots will be the subject of spec
ifc inquiry. Many of these, whether void,
protested or otherwise, are known to
have been counted for Mcclellan and
other Murphy candidates on the city
borough and county tickets.
Evidence has been procured that rs
per cent of the remainder were legitimate
Hearst ballots and that because they
were such they we're thrown out.
1t is maintained by those in a position
to know that enough ballots will be
thrown out or counted for Mr. Hearst by
the courts to insure the election not only
of Mr.. Hearst, but of his associates on
the Municipal league ticket who have not
already been declared chosen by the po-
! lice returns

The HELLO SYSTEM
Citizens Phone Service Is Grow
ing Rapidly.
Force of Nine Now Required To KeeT
business NJ owing ProperIy-New
Cables to be strung.

Since the advent Of the telephone into
Belding twenty years ago there has been
great advancement and improvement in
that then so-called luxury which has now
developed into a necessity 1t would be
almost impossible to get along without it
The Citizens Telephone Company in
this city:are now crowdng the four hun
dred mark in the number of phone takers
and it requires force of nine people to
keep abreast with the demands of the
service. Under the management of Miss
Jessie Presley il has had a wonderful
growth in the past two or three years at
testing to the popularity of the efficient
manager and the excellent service given.
There are in the office. besides Miss
Jessie Presley, manager. Mamie Presley
bookkeeper and collector, Lulu McElroy
and Ruby Babcock state line oper Ators
and Gertrude Robinson Alta Moore and
Cora Robinson who answer the local
calls night and day.
Ray Watson and Ernest Gooding are
the trouble men" and when anything
goes wrong with the system or phones
are required to be changed or new ones
to be installed they are soon on hand to
put things to rights. 1t is rumored that
for reasons best known to themselves
there is to be change in the office force
in the near future among the popular
young ladies'.
An extension of the service is now being
made. A force of seven men is at work
running a cable out into Grattan and one
is also contemplated to the Bricker and
Whtford resort grounds at Long Lake.
These new cables will give added power
and will allow the company to take on
more subscribers here in the city also as
we'll as outside.

and brilliant hue. At all times hey are
bright eyed and roguish and all nearly

Johnny Calvin plays the title role OF
