In Casey county last night. The
hloodhounds of Marshal Lair, OF Hus.
tonville, were quickly called to the
scene and placed upon the trail. The
building and all contents we're de-
stroyed. The family was away from
home when the burning occurred.
RE hounds trailed to Eubanks this
morning. II was learned there that
two suspicious characters bought
tickets for Danyllle and the investiga-

toners, but annually has a list Of
novelties worth their weight in dia-
monds, and issues a supplement to
his catalogue called practical Farm

no opportunities that are presented
or made to push his goods-that fail
to do what is claimed for them
hence the damage.
