FIRST FORK.


The dwelling house of B. f. Ross, of
Wharton, Pa, was totally destroyed by
fire, with most of the contents, early last
Thursday morning. Mr.. Ross built a
fire in the kitchen stove, and went to the
barn to do do some chores, and on his re-
turn found the house on fire and past any
chance of saving it. We understand
there was 81 900 insurance on the house
and $500 on the contents, of which but
little were saved. The house was built
some 60 years ago by w. t. Jones and
was used for years as hotel. The barn
was burned two or three years ago and is
supposed to have been set on fire by a
tramp.

son, G. K. Logue brought iu two bears
alive, having roped them and brought
them in all by himself A few days later
Bert. Nelson brought in one alive with
Yves. Ber6eld to assist him. They were
not very large bears but tally three for
this section and are all alive. Amt it
