THE FIRE AT CITYPoINT. The fire DEPART
ment was called out at 10 o'clock last FRIDAY
night by an alarm from box Sc for fire at
Citypoint. The fire was in the barn on the
George A. Sides estate, and had made such
progress when discovered that there was no
possibility of saving the building. By quick
work of the neighbors in removing a fence
the house and the blacksmith shop of Charles
G. Havener were saved. The Sides place had
been unoccupied for two or three months and
the barn, which was used for storage by Frank
M. Bailey, had not been entered for two days.
Mr.. Bailey had in the barn at the time some 8
10 cords of hard wood, IL tons of hay and
several thousand feet of pine lumber, and his
loss is only partially covered by insurance.
There was small insurance on the barn. Sat
urday afternoon there was another alarm from
box SO, the wind having famed into blaze the
fire still smouldering in the wood and hay, and
the fire department again responded. Had the
fire taken place before the recent rains it must
have done great damage, and as it was several
buildings were threatened and much work had
to be done to prevent the fire from spreading.
At fire inquest held by the municipal officers
last Monday evening several witnesses were
examined and it was decided that the fire was
of incendiary origin.

Wisconsin Takes Hard. Fought Game
by 81 to IL,

NORTHWESTERN FIELD. EVANS
TON. ILL.,. October 30.-wisconsin defeated
Northwestern by the score Of n TO IL in
hard gridiron battle on the new North
western Field today. Wisconsin displayed
far more knowledge Of both new and old
foot ball than did its opponents. and IT
is safe TO say that the better team won
the game. Both teams relied largely on
the old style smashing game. and only
now and then was there a flash Of new
and more open game. Wisconsin tried
the forward pass several times, and only
two OF these were successful, while
Northwestern did not use this play until
near the end of the second half, and this
lone attempt failed dismally.
Anderson, the new Wisconsin end. was
the star OF the game. His end runs on
end fake punts gained many yards. while
time after time his punts went far over
the Northwestern fullback's head and
aided his team In scoring. The North
western ends were lamentably weak.
