A BARN AND HORSES BURNED
On Farm Occupied by w. a. Wilson,
Near Charter oak.-Harness
Also Consumed.

About four o'clock Tuesday after
noon word came to Charter Oak that
the barn on the farm occupied by w.
A. Wilson, was on fire. The farm be-
longs to Shaw &, Kuehnle. Mr.. Will
son and his little son had been in
Charter Oak and returned home some
time in the afternoon, the boy hav-
ing in his possession some fire crack
ers. Mr.. Wilson went into tie field
to work and the boy began to. cele-
rate in or near the barn. At the time
the fire was discovered by Mr.. Will
son, he was in the neighborhood of
one-half mile away. There We're three
young horses in the barn, two sets of
double harness and one set of single
harness, all of which were burned.
Fortunately for Mr.. Wilson the three
work teams were in the field and away
from the barn at the time of the fire.
A large number of people went out
from Charter Oak as soon as the fire
was discovered, and did all they
could to save the other buildings. Mr..
Wilson's property was fully insured,
and it is presumed the barn was also
insured. 1t is another instance of a
too indulgent father placing in the
hands of a child a weapon Of de-
struction. 1t is fortunate that. the
child himself escaped injury.

EARLY MONDAY MORNING FIRE.
Rear Of Palace Bakery Badly Burned.
Volunteer Department Does
Quick Work.

About six o'clock on Monday morn
ing, the fire bell sounded and the fire
laddies were called upon to put out
a fire which started in an addition at
the rear of the Norman bakery on
Broadway. 1t was fortunate thing
for the owners of the property, and
all property owners in the locality
that the fire was put out before it
spread far enough to do much dam
age. 1t seems that one McKane, who
worked for the bakery, was engaged
in baking and left the fire for a few
moments to go across Broadway on
an errand, and while away the fire
spread to some papers scattered
around, and before his return, set
the room on fire. 1t is said the bak-
ser considers himself worthy the hon
ors of hero because he returned in
time to make an effort to put out the
fire and to give the alarm. The truth
carelessness in leaving the fire in
the manner he did, and permitting it
to escape control, thereby jeopardiz-
ing the property of all the people in
the neighborhood. 1t is question
whether the city is justified in per-
mitting places like this to be conduct
ed in a grossly careless manner. There
should be q system of inspection ap-
piled in order to determine the risk
property owners assume on account
/ Of other people conducting their bus
mess. The sooner the city becomes
( aroused to the danger of inattention,
the sooner 1t will rise to the proper
( level of responsibility. We sincerely
hope that this fire will prove a warn
ing to other people conducting bust
ness ola like character.

unknown man
IS SsFOUND DEAD
No Marks of Violence and
Belief is that Heart
Failure is the
Cause.

An unknown white man was found
dead beside the Norfolk & Western
track last night near Wilmore. There
were no marks of violence upon his
person, no evidence that he had been
struck by passing train and nothing
to establish Identification.
A Norfolk 4 Western lantern was
found near the body and IL was ut N.rst
thought that the man was n flagman.
but the fact that there are no miss.
ing tlagmen on the road disproves this
theory. The supposition is that the
man died of heart failure.
In the absence of Identification
there was nothing left for the com.
pany to do but bury the remains on
the right of way.
