day William Coats is moving from

fortunate enough to be struck by a

and partially stunned and feels pretty
sore after the shock.
It Was Dark-For the first time in

Burnt Fences and Pasture - A
prairie fire. started near the railroad
track yesterday and burned north to
the cemetery where it destroyed some
of the fence, the fire continuing over
the pasture and burning hundreds of
fence posts along the pasture fence be-
fore citizens reached the spot and ex-
tinguished the fire. It is supposed the
fire started from a railroad engine.
Damage Suit lnvited-In the opinion
Of a. great many people it would be to
the interest of both the lot owner and
| the city if the sidewalk was replaced
In front Of the lot at the corner of
Broadway and Fourth street. It's
present condition simply invites some
one to get hurt and make the city or
property owner pay for it. The walk
has been torn up quite a few months,
and few walks in the city are more
used than this.
