$15,000 FIRE 0F ! UNKNOWN ORIGIN
ON WELLS HILL NEAR LAKEvllLE
Loss is $15,000 With Insurance of $7727-Two Men lump From Sec ond Story Window to Save Their Lives-FiVe Horses Perish-Fire Had Broken Through the Roof When Discovered.

Had Broken Through the Roof
 When Discovered.
 The training barn on the Wells farm on Wells hill between Lakeville and Sharon was burned Friday night, about II o'clock, entailing loss of at least $15.OOO.
 This farm is owned by B. R. and M. D. Wells, wealthy Chicago men with a penchant for country life, good horses, attractive buildings etc. They have expended thousands of dollars in the erection of buildings etc. and have one of the finest country homes in Litchfield county.
 This barn, a structure 45x100 feet, with an ell, was discovered in flames at 11:15 Friday evening, by Charles S.. Den- ison, the superintendent of the premises. He was awakened by the cracking of the flames and the roof was falling in at the time. He rushed to the building and awakened two employees, Lawrencee Gunshannon and Henry Gordon of Lakeville, who slept in the building. They saved their lives by jumping from second story window. They lost all their belongings. including S25.00 each and all their clothing except that which shey wore. The Messrs Wells reim- bursed them for their cash losses. There were 17 horses in the building, MT. Den. ison and the men managed to save 12 of these together with the cows. The five burned included four standard breed colts valued at $500 each and one su. perior work horse.
 The balance of the contents of the contents of the building was consumed and consisted of 100 tons of hay and straw, separator, mowers, reapers, horse power, wagons, sleighs, carts, sulkies harness and all the farm tools.
 The loss is apportioned as follows Building $1O.0oo, horses $25OO, hay ant straw $500; wagons and sleighs 5000, miscellaneous $500.
 Inasmuch as the Lakeyille wate, mains extend to the Wells premises, the Lakeville fire company hurried to the scene, O pair of horses being attached to each of their hose carts. They could dt nothing toward saving the barn bu kept close watch on the other build lngs which however, owing to the favor able direction of the wind, were not 1T great danger at any time.
 Manager Denison has completed { list of the property destroyed, so far a he is able, and the insurance adjuster visited the ruins this week, adjusting the insurance at $7727. The policies were with the McNeil agency of Linn, Rock.
 The origin of the fire is unknown al though there are various theories.

"All along" he said ~ have said that
/ was not a candidate for the nomina-

nomination unless It came 20 me under
conditions that, to my mind. were almost
out Of the question. I can plainly see now
that such conditions as would have made

ton viii not come to pass. When ! said
that I did not want the nomination,
meant IT, The trouble has been 10 get
people to believe a frank statement Of
that kind.
II am glad the conference was held
It gave me an opportunity Of finding out
where a number Of politicians stood II
was made very plain to me that they are
opposed TO my candidacy.
1T is time for those Democratic lead
ers who are interested In the success OF
their party to quit worrying about Frank
Brown and start out in a search for a
man who can win this fight
Il am an announced candidate FOR the
United States Senate. Even II there had
been a call from the whole party through
out the State for me to get into the gu
bernatOrial race, might have hesitated.
for I do not feel equal 70 the task Of
