STOCK AND BARNS BURNED
Jesup Farmer Meets With Heavy Loss
Thru Fire.

Jesup, Jan 2S.-Information given
by passengers on an Illinois Central
train to the telephone operator at Jes-
up. saved the home of Roy Trip from
burning. The house and furniture was
all that was saved, for barns, cribs and
sheds, together with contents, were
consumed.
The Trip farm is located five and
one-half miles southeast of Jesup How
the fire started is a mystery The first
known of it was when a party from In
dependence who was on the train gave
the information to Mrs. Sheridan, the
night telephone operator. She called up
patrons on the rural line who lived
near the Trip premises, and when
some of them arrived several buildings
were burning fiercely and the man in
charge was sleeping soundly. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tripp were visiting in Mason
City and had left the farm in charge of
another.
BY heroic efforts the dwelling was
saved, but all the other buildings were
wiped away. Thirteen head of cattle,
three horses, hogs and chickens per-
ished in the flames, and all the grain,
and farm machinery stored in the cribs
and sheds was destroyed. The damage
amounted to at least $4,000 and is only
partially insured.

Waterloo. Jan. 2S-The city coun-
Gil of Waterloo has found novel
method of beating the statute that
requires meetings on different days to
pass an ordinance. Two sessions, one
other Immediately following, were the
shortest on record.
At 11:4O the council convened and
after being in session just thirty eight
seconds by the watch. passed an ordin-
ance on its second reading of title all
lowing the expenditures of the city OF
Waterloo for the past month. Ordin-
ances in Iowa have a queer way OF
passing, 1t seems, and once a day is
all they viii stand for. That was easy.
The council, not to be outdone by any
dinky ordinance that was ever read. sat
up and waited for Wednesday. We'd
nesday came and the council again
convened at 1901. Caught in the act
the ordinance was passed and nailed to
the city records and all was over and
lasted just long enough to think about
1t and was over-fifty-siX seconds by
the watch.
The cause Of 1t all was the Iowa
laws and two absent members-Coun-
cilmen Mangus and VAIL who failed
to be in attendance at the regular
meeting Monday evening. The city
bills had to be paid and the Iowa laws
won't stand less than five out of the
six councilmen being present in order
that the rules might be suspended and
the ordinance passed at once. How
ever. the law allowed the council to
hold three meetings on three different
days and the four councilmen who
were in the city might pass it by one
reading each day. The ordinance
passed allowed bills amounting to
nearly $4,000
