FIREBUGS STARTED A BIG BLAZE

The large country store of Mr.. Char
les Mauk at La Crosse, six miles north
Of Americas, together with the Central
Railway depot there, was destroyed by
fire shortly after l o'clock Wednesday
morning, with all contents
The burning buildings made a great
blaze which was plainly seen by Amer
icus people who were abroad at that
hour.
The entire stock of goods carried by
Mr.. Mauk and consisting of drygoods,
groceries and general merchandise,
was consumed, as was all the freight
stored in the railway depot at that
time
The flames started in the store build
ing, which was burglarized and then
set on fire.
The depot, near at hand, caught fire
a few moments latter and the blaze
from the two large buildings illumi-
mated the country for miles around.
Mr.. Mauk had left home for Ameri-
Gus at 9 o'clock, bringing one of the
prisons escaping from the county pen
here the day before and captured near
La Crosse Mr.. Mauk drove through
in his buggy.
Within brief time after his arrival
here with the prisoner his property
was destroyed.
Other escaped convicts were in the
neighborhood, and the theory is that
some of them burglarized the store and
measure.
The village postofice was located
in the Mauk store, and all the stamps
and other valuables belonging to the
Government were destroyed.
Mr.. Mauk carried a general stock of
goods valued at $4,000 and insured for
only $1,000. The store building belong
ed to Mrs. Edwin Bell of Americas and
valued at probably $4,000. There was
no insurance upon it.
The store belonged to the former II.
H. Singletary estate.
The loss of the Central Railway in
the burning of the depot is not known.
but is probably fully insured. There
is no direct clue to the incendiar1es ex-
cept the theory advanced here as to
escaped convicts.
A reward sufficient to insure their
capture will be offered, no doubt.

WONDERED WHY CROWD LAUGHED
Darkey Makes Apt Comparison with
The Monk.

An organ ground by classic son OF
sunny Italy, with an aborigine of the
African tops, struck Americas yes
terday. 1t was the harbinger of
Spring, the reminder that the time had
arrived to lay off winter underwear
and buy Easter suits.
All the old popular airs were turned
loose on the sultry atmosphere. Even
tually the peripatetic musician reached
the postoffice. The monkey entered
the governments precincts, and began
to take up collection.
Among the interested spectators
were prominent citizen and dimin-
utive darkey, whose physiognomy
had been spoiled in the making and
bore a somewhat striking resem blance
to the little red capped penny picker.
Il declare" said the prominent cit
izen to a bystander, That monkey
seems almost human, doesn't he?"
The underslzed darkey caught the
words and blurted out:
Human, he sho Amt no more
human dan | is" The darkey is still
probably wondering what all the
white folks laughed about.
