Last Sunday.
LOSS OVER $1,000, AND NO INSURANCE

A most disastrous conflagra.
tot occurred In Licking Creek
township on last Sunday after
noon, in which the house, barn,
and shop of George w. Sipes was
entirely destroyed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sipes had gone
in the morning to visit the latter S
paretts, Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Sharpe, near Knobsyille, and had
arranged with neighbor to do
the feeding at noon. The feed
ing was done, and at that time
everything seemed to be right
about the premises. Some time
in the afternoon, smoke was seen
ascending from the Sipes place,
and when neighbors arrived, the
hre had gained such headway,
that the buildings were doomed.
In addition to the buildings, Mr..
Sipes, who is a contractor aud
hne carpenter, lost all his tools,
about $500 dollars worth of dress
ed lumber, which he had gotten
out preparatory to the erection of
new dwelling house this sum
mer, all his farm machinery, wag.

There is no clue to the origin
Of tneR fire. The loss to Mr..
Slpes approxlmates $4,000, and

ance.

1t will be remem bered that

AT the court it was shown that
telescope containing wearing

taken from a carriage at Crystal
Springs campmeetlng last Au-

home of MI. Hess. The evidence
was so convincing that 1t took the
jury only twenty minutes to re-

court sentenced Mr.. Hess to a
term of six months imprisonment
in the county Jail. The SIX months
would have ended on Thursday

length of the term.
On, Tuesday morning when one
of the Sheriff's sons went around
to the pump in the Court House

brick wall of the Jail yard. The
query naturally arose: "Has

AS has been intimated, Mr..

reason for gaining his liberty at
this time. There are some costs
that it would be necessary for
him to settle at the expiration of
the SIX months, otherwise the

was used a fraction over 800
yards of thread five stitches to

Coun ing three crochet stitches

1923 hours and fifteen minutes
without losing one minute, to put
the rug together after all the ma

the work.
The material was handsomely
