nearly all the butter itscan make. Four

that deserves success and we are pleas
ed to learn that every week it adds

hay rack, made lively run down Front
street Monday afternoon, colliding with
James Spikes carriage at Atwells
drug store where it overturned the
wagon and freed the team from the rig.
Fortunately Mussehl escaped without
injury when the collision came, and the
team was caught near the Heddles lum-
Der office. The Spike carriage was
most damaged but a few dollars will
make the repairs. Lucky runaway all
around.
Steele Bros. store at Nora, on Lib
erty Prairie, burned Friday. The loss
is around S., 600 and is practically COW
cred by insurance. The fire was caused
by the explosion of a gasoline stove,
and one of the brothers, Thos. Steele,
was quite badly burned. Mr.. Steele
and his family lived over the store, and
also lost their household goods. The
Steeles have been in business about
three years Besides the store which
was destroyed, there is creamery and
blacksmith shop at Nora.
Night Waterman Campbell discov-
cred smoke issuing from Mawhinney's
market in making his rounds about 4:3O
O'Clock Wednesday morning and imme-
diately turned in fire alarm. When
| the department reached the scene and
had their hose laid the building was
| filled with dense smoke and small
blaze in the floor of the front room was
| found to be the cause of all the trouble.
| 1t was a small matter to put out what
| fire there was and hole in the floor a
couple of feet across was the only dam
age, aside from smoke, to the market.
| 1t is somewhat of conjecture what
| occasioned the fire, but it is believed to
have been set by the careless throwing
| of a match into the sawdust spread
| under the meat racks, and must have
been. smouldering all night. When
Freeman Lyons left the market at
| about $50 O'Clock he remembers smell
ing smoke but saw nothing of the blaze.
A thin coating of sawdust covered a
hardwood floor that was slow burning
and as no other woodwork was near for
the fire to feed upon and the building
being tightly closed, the theory that
the fire must have been burning all
through the night seems reasonable.
