"As regards car interchange. we have
had to watch our equipment very close

keep our cars from foreign lines when
the needs of our shippers called for

knew why our equipment was leaving

result of closer attention there is a

NONE OF THE GUESTS INJURED
Ono of the Best Known Hostelries in

to Ground-Loss On Building Alone
i. ss5,ooo-No Trouble in Getting
Guests Out Of Danger.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to mes-Republican.
Roone. Jan. 29.--F'ire at a compare
lively early hour last evening, burned
ia the ground the Butler hotel, which
was not only the best hosiery in Boone
but one of the best known In the
state. The loss on the building Is Civ
en- as about $4,000 with $4,000 insur-
ance. The loss on furnishings ana
fixtures will be from $4,000 to $4,000,
fairly we'll insured.
There was no trouble in getting the
guests out Of the burning building.
ONLY four Of them had retired for the
night, altho there We're from forty 10
fifty people in the building. The SHOW
troupe which was presenting "A
Stranger in Town." in this city last
evening had all their effects In the no.
tel. They broke of the performance
and rushed back to the burning build
ing. but too late to save all OF their
property
Almost everyone in the hotel lost
something, as it was thought for sev-
eral hours that the building would be
saved. Fred M. Lorenzen of Ogden, the
newly elected county treasurer, VINO
was stopping at the hotel, was in the
court house, mile away, and knew
nothing of the fire until it was too late
to save any Of his belongings.
The botel stood in the heart OF the
business district and directly across the
street from the government building.
There was little wind, however, anu
the roofs were covered with snow and
these conditions, coupled with the fact
that the burning building was sur
rounded by little park. prevented any
danger Of the fire spreading.
The fire was discovered by the night
clerk, who smelled smoke and on at
tempting to go into the basement TO
look for the fire was driven back by
the suffocating clouds which enveloped
him. He at once gave the alarm ana
warned the guests. For several hours
the firemen fought the flames and two
or three times the fire seemed under
control, but it always broke out in
new place until finally the building was
left to it's fate.
The building was owned by .thA two
minor daughters Of Mrs. Kate Hall,
who held 1t in trust for them. Mrs.
Hall is now in California. The land
lords name is l.. r. Weiser.

CLAYTON COUNTY SALOON wAH
Drastic Action on Part Of Grand Jury,
is Expected.
c~aoioI IN TSi,roS. n onl1h1iCan


Elkader, Jan. 29.-The saloons OF
Clayton county are being investigated,
in an effort to find out whether the sale
of liquor is being carried on under the
mulct law, or IL minors can secure In
toxicants, and IL the grand jury takes
the drastic action which is anticipated,
every saloon in the county may be
ousted or ordered closed. Witnesses
from every township over the county
have been called before the jury and
asked to testify on violation OF the
law. Should radical change be made
in the liquor traffic as a result OF the
searching Investigations it will mean
loss of $4,000 yearly to the county.
Complaints of harboring habitual
drunkards and permitting slot ma
chimes and minors are the cause of the
action. The report of the grand juryis
awaited with interest
That body has had one of the busiest
sessions in it's history. Ned West was
indicted for murder in the first degree
for the killing Of John L. Boland of
Highland township, November 4. The
case comes up at the April term.
Dan Harding was indicted for terror
izing the inhabitants Of a dwelling
house.
George Hines was indicted for lar
ceny of chickens. He was arraigned
at once, pleading, guilty, and sentenced
to the penitentiary for one year,
mo Leg" Hines was indicted for ar
son in Lodomillo township. He was
arraigned, pleading guilty. and was
sentenced to the penitentiary for six
and one-half years.
No doubt other arrests will soon fol-
low, as the authorities are determined
to bring the guilty parties to Justice
committing the many depredations in
Cox Creek and Lodolnillo townships.
