SEVERANCE BARN
BURNED TO GROUND
T. WYKERT's PROPERTY.
Fire Started in Hay Loft. Stock
All Saved.

Dode Wykert's livery barn at Sew
erance caught fire at Z o'clock las.
evening and burned to the ground.
AS Severance has no water, there was
nothing to be done after the stock
was removed but stand aside and
watch the flames consume the struc-
ture. What little assistance could
be rendered was given to the Schil-
lig Lumber company, which adjoins
the barn, and the flames were pre-
vented from communicating to the
lumber yard by an efficient bucket
brigade"
The fire started in the hay loft
of the barn early in the evening and
is considered accidental, though
who was primarily responsible is
not known. A telephone pole, ad-
joining the barn, was also con-
sumed, and all wires were crossed,
SO that communication with Sever
ance was cut off most of today. AS
it was early in the evening, there
was plenty of assistance at hand to
remove the stock and vehicles be.
fore the fire reached the first floor
but the loss on hay and grain will
be in the neighborhood of 5000.
The barn proper belonged to jim
Whitmore of Ault. 1t is large
structure and is worth considerable
money. 1t is understood that Mr.
Whitmore had insurance for onl!
$500. Dode Wykert is son-in-lav
of e. l.. Kellogg of Greeley.
The fact that a small quantity o
water was running in a near b.
ditch was all that saved the lumbe
yard adjoining.

who never fails to inform herself
when she sees anything new. On
her way from the depot yesterday
she noted workmen filling the trench
on Eighth avenue, after installing
water pine, and was curious in re-
gard to the water being poured into
the trench. She questioned the first
workman she came to and was III
formed that the water helped to
pack the earth. and in this way all
dirt removed could be placed back
in the same srace, thereby leaving no
declivity in the street. She thanked
the workman. and added that the
only way to learn was to ask qies-

Through the efficiency of the po-

urday night were much milder than
the vandalism Of former years.
Marshal Williams had eight spe-
cial officers on duty. together with
the day force. and he took care of
the telephone himself until long
after midnight, receiving complaints
and the reports OF the officers. No
arrests were made and the diversion
was confined chiefly to the small
boys and girls. Some fifty of these.
mostly clad in white garments, had
their witch's den In Meeker field.
and paraded the vicinity with much
noise but little harm. There are but
few reports Of destruction of prop.
rty and if any such can be proven,
the offenders will be prosecuted
Several bicycles were found tied in
the tops of trees; boxes were piled
in the streets; wagons taken apart
and overturned, ash can removed,
and several cement ash pits We're
broken.
Friday night Mt the home of H.,
d. Parker the High school junior
class was being entertained at hal
lowe'en party. and the boys from the
senior class endeavored to break up
the gathering. They acted more
like hoodlums than the sons of re-

was damaged to such an extent that

The article was evidently written
by brilliant. welI-schooled but dis

ticle attracted national attention,
partly because Of the prominence OF
the magazine in which 1t was pub

personal knowledge and shrewd COM

His article has provoked consider
able criticism, so that in the Oct0-

the criticisms that have been leveled
