AMPHITHEATER BURNED.
Comfy Fairs Loss Last Friday
Morning.

The amphitheater, ju dges' stand
and the secretary's Office at the
Fair Grounds were destroyed by
fire here last Friday morning. The
property is so far out that the fire
department could not reach il in
time to be Of much service. A
bucket brigade was formed for the
protection Of the dining hall near
by aud the amphitheater for neg.
roes. The fire department assist
ed in saving these structures with
the chemical engine.
The loss is estimated to be
$1,000; insurance 81, ,6G0.
Stable attendants on the ground
discovered the fire at about $3.50
in the morning. 1t was then go.
ing up thru the south stairway.
1t was soou seen that there was
no chance to save the structure.
How the fire originated is a
mystery. The building was well
up off the ground aud there was
no litter or sbavings or trash
around to feed a flame carelessly
started. Looks very much like
the work of an iucendiary. 1t is
possible that a crap player might
have kicked over his lamp, had he
had shelter in the building, or it
might have been cigar nr ciga-
rettp.
The buildings we've all new three

way map showing Il proposed line
from Mexico to Hereford, branching
thence to Columbia and Fulton.
1t is proposed extension of the
line from Perry in Rails county, to
Mexico and any active work on the
Galloway end will depend upon the
completion of the Audrain road
from Mexico to Perry.
Mr.. Murry has no intensiOn of
pushing the matter until the other
road is fully assured. but has been
in consultation with Mr.. Robin.
sou, the president of the Mexico.
Perry road. and when the other
road is finished, the rapid extenson
into Galloway will undoubtedly
follow.
Just now work on the Mexico.
Perry road is stopped because of
failure to get the financial backing
expected. Much grading has been
done, however, and those in close
touch with the Audrain plan believe
that it will succeed. No definite
work on the Fulton Columbia road
will be attempted until the other is
assured.
