BIG FIRE IN SALISBURY.
Business Section Practically
Wiped Out

Fire which started in the general
merchandise store of Judge Frank c.
Dyer early Wednesday morning from
an unknown cause, wiped out the en-
tire business section of West Salisbury
village, resulting in a loss estimated at
nearly $50, 900. Although it is not de-
finitely stated, it is believed that a
tramp, who was seen about the railroad
station Tuesday evening is suspected of
having set the fire.
The fire was discovered between 2 and
8 O'Clock in the morning by Byron
Paige, who conducted a feed store and
grist mill opposite to the Dyer property.
He was awakened by an explosion in the
store, possibly a kerosene tank, and
Immediately spread the alarm. AS the
town has no fire fighting apparatus
the large crowd of villagers and farm
ers who gathered quickly could do little
but watch the flames spread from one
building to another. The fire had an
enormous start when diocovered and
nothing in the Dyer building was saved.
A strong wind was blowing and it was
but short time before the Rutland
railroad passenger and freight depot,
located on the opposite side of the track,
was wrapped in flames. The feed store
and grist mill of Mr.. Paige, across the
street from the Dyer building, was
the next to go and his two story honse
and barn burned later SO rapidly did
the fire spread that he was able to save
but little of his furniture. Mr.. Paige
is hardest hit by the fire as his entire
property was wiped out and it is under
stood that he carried but little in
surance.
Following is an estimate of the loss:
Frank c. Dyer, $4,000; Mr.. Paige,
$4,000; Miss Viola Dyer and Mrs. Ida
Paige of New York, owners of the DYER
building, $4,000; Rutland Railroad com
pany, $500. 1t is understood that all
of the losses except that of Mr.. Paige
are well covered by insurance. Mr..
Dyer carried insurance of $l1, 900.
So intense was the heat from the
burning buildings that the northbound
sleeper was unable to pass for an hour
and half,
MIR. Dyer was in Bristol at the time
of the fire and did not know of his loss
until notified by telephone.
Mr.. Dyer has secured temporary
quarters for his store and will be ready
for business in day or two. In the
meantime new buildings will be erected
and in few weeks he will be back in
the old location. 1t is said to be doubt
full if Mr.. Page will rebuild. =

Defense Will Take Courts Decision
as One of the Grounds
for its Appeal of
Case.

KANSAS CITY, April 20.-Judge
Latshaw in the Hyde murder trial to-
day indicated that he regards the
death OF Moss Hunton as part OF TIE
evidence in the charge being brought
by the prosecution. This will let
down the bars for the admission of all
the evidence prepared by the state.
Judge Latshaw overruled the obiec-
tions of the defense to tie introduction
of evidence showing typhoid infection
of others OF the Swope family. He
admitted the evidence of the nurse,
Miss Pearl Keller, as to Hyde's sup
posed criminal participation in the
death of Moss Hunton by bleeding the
latter until he died.
The defense will make t-is one of
the grounds for appeal.
The judge read into the records his
reasons for the ruling based on the
Molineaux, Daily and Ssssman cases.
Miss Keller told of DR.. Twyman's at

too much blood from Hunton's arter-
les.

Eggs and Meat are Reduced as Well

Price Of

NEW YORK, April 20.-The present

supply of old potatoes for as little as
20 cents bushel, which is the lowest
price in many years. Other foods are
also cheaper
AS a result of its Investigations the
American Agriculturlst for April %
will say:
A marked decline has occurred in
the prices of certain food products.
If this decline continues much longer

Compared to the high price of wheat
last year. the market at Chicago
shows decline of X cents. The de-
cline in cornfrom the high point of
last year is 19 cents and oats 20 cents
In other words, the present wholesale
price of oats is 50 per cent below the
higest prices of last year; corn is of
"a per cent and wheat IA per cent.
Cotton-seed neal if off So to s4, OF

fraction of a cent a pound less than

5 per cent.
Potatoes have never been sc low
