PARKER HOME
BURNS SUNDAY
ONE OF THE HISTORIC DWELL
INGS OF THE CITY LOCAT-
ED ON FOREST HILL.
ORIGIN OF FIRE IS UNKNOWN
Was Built in 1879 and Moved Into
Just After the Big Fire-A
Home of Happy Memory.
From Deadwood Daily Telegram.

From Deadwood Daily Telegram.
Sunday afternoon about $3.50 PEG
pie living on Ingleside noticed smoke
coming from the old home of the
late Col. William Henry Parker, for
mer congressman from South Da
kota, who died two years ago las
June. The home is located on the
north slope of Forest Hill, and Phil
lip Wertenberger notified Mrs. Par
kerr who now lives on Fillmore
street, and the boys, VIII, Ralph
Francis and Clarence, who are in the
city. Communication was had by
telephone with c. o. Gorder, whose
residence is nearby, and he verified
the fact and sent in q still alarm.
The fire alarm was later sounded but
the department concluded it was of
no use to attempt to go up with any
of the apparatus. Quite a number
of people climbed the hill, however,
and watched the historic home burn
to the ground.
The house has been unoccupied for
more than a year about which time
the Parker family moved to Fillmore
street.
The residence that burned Sunday
was built in 1879. 1t was nearly
completed at the time of the big fire,
which occurred 81 years ago today
when the Parker family were burned
out and they moved into this house,
which continued to be their home
until about year ago.
The fire is of unknown origin.
Ralph Parker, who is employed at
the Pioneer-Times, has been sleeping
there nights and left the house about
$3.50 yesterday morning. There was
no fire in the house and had not been
Tor more than year. Just how it
started is mystery. 1t seems prob
able that the log shed in the rear
of the house was first set on fire, as
that was built of green logs and had
been aflre evidently for some time
when people arrived on the scene.
The house is located back In the
woods on the north slope of the hill,
about an eighth of a mile from the
residence of F. w. Bower, and is out
of range of the water pressure. Moth
ing could be done to save the build
Ing, and in an hour it was consumed.
The most probable solution of the
cause Of the fire is the fact that pos
sibly some one had been in the log
shed and had been smoking and
carelessly thrown a match into some
combustible material. The fire may
have been burning two or three
hours before having been discovered.
1t was a weird looking scene to
witness, the fire in a snow storm,
away out in the woods away from
any other habitation. The place
must have been very beautiful one
In bygone days, and doubtless was
the scene of many a gay festivity
taken part In by the family of the
late congressman, yet withal, there
were memories of sadness. for the
bitter is always mixed WITH the
sweet. 1t was there the family was
reared, and in those dense woods
and among the tall pines the Par
ker children played in their youth

may be so ordered by the county
court. The petitioners represented
that they were opposed to the county

SUICIDE DUE TO RED TAPE
Victim Could Have Been Saved but
for the PecuIiarities of
French Law.

Paris.-When a body is found by
the roadside in America it's discoyerer
usually cuts 1t down, alarms the
countryside and does his best to re-
store life. Not so in France. Here
certain necessary formalities are en-
ployed. Meanwhile the suicide, who
might have been saved by quick &C
ton, is allowed to complete his deed.
At Cambria young farm servant,
after an alteration with his employ
err, hanged himself from a tree over
looking a railway. A passerby saw
him thus suspended and walked off
to report his discovery to the local
guard, who, when he arrived on the
SPOT, found quite a crowd assembled.
He felt the body, perceived that 1t was
still warm, but would not interfere.
as the tree happened to be standing
on the ground Of neighboring parish.
He therefore proceeded to inform
its special guard. After the lapse of
half an hour this worthy returned
with his comraGe and then ensued
a long discussion as to whether the
tree was situated in one parish or
the other, so away they went to con-
suit the ordnance maps. Hours rolled
by and when they at last met again
on the scene of the tragedy they came
to the agreement that the tree was 10
Gated in the third parish.
They then walked off together to
inform that particular guard, who,
having visited the spot and confirmed
the opinion that the tree was in his
special domain, started off to report
the suicide to the gendarmes, who
finally cut the rope. Need it be added
that long before this hour the unhap.
nv young man was dead?

OWLS HOUSE WITHOUT LINING
Bones and skulls OF Small Animals
Left Lying Around on Floor
Homes OF other Birds,

Owls houses are, for the most part,
quite without lining, says a writer in
st. Nicholas. Whether from design or
pure laziness, the bones and skulls Of
small animals which they have killed
are left scattered about the floor.
Gruesome playthings for the owl chill
dren! But one can scarcely imagine
even a baby owl being anything but
wise and dignifed. 1t is easiest to pic
ture them apparently grayely musing
on these skulls like monks In their
dark cells.
Since so many Of the owls have
their homes in hollow trees, we might
expect some of their near relatives.

or by some Woodpecker.

When Nelson began on 1t with a

DRAWS PICTURE
As SPIRIT GUIDES
WOMAN GIVES CREDIT FOR HER
WEIRD WORK TO AN ANCIENT
EGYPTIAN.
FRIENDS PRAISE DRAWINGS
Mrs. George D. Field of Minneapolis,
Who Knew Nothing of Art, lnflu-
enced by severian Who Flourished
5000 Years Ago.

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.-From a condi-
ton of absolute lack of knowledge Of
drawing or of the rudiments of art to
an ability to produce pictures remark
able for their wealth of detail and
weirdness of conception sums up in
few words the art career of Mrs.
George D. Field, SIT Twenty-second
street E., whose work has been the
talk and wonder Of all her friends and
especially her fellow members of the
Spiritualist church of which her hus-
band, George D. Field, piano man, is
the head
For all her work and the praise be-
slowed upon 1t by friends Mrs. Field
says to Severian, an Egyptian who
f1ourished 5000 years ago, belongs the
credit.
Through this spirit directly, or as he
directs many subordinate spirits, does
she work With Seyerian guiding her
right hand or controlling it through
the lesser entities of the spirit world,
Mrs. Field produces drawings with an
ordinary pencil which have attracted
the attention of some of the art ex-
perts of New York.
Throughout all her work is appar-
emily the influence Of Egyptian art.
In practically every representation of
ancient Egyptians, male or female, the
peculiarities of the headdress are
marked. Mrs. Field has carried out
every detail thereof with great faith
fitness. Into the dress upon every
head she has drawn appear all the
distinctive features which make that
part of Egyptian art so much fea-
ture In itself.
Hidden away in these head-dresses
at all angles are tiny faces, usually
Of women. A casual glance does not
always reveal them. Careful study
brings them out in surprising number.
In some drawings of other figures,
some of them almost weird and some
even of the goblin type, the tiny faces
appear again. every one having an in
dividuality of expression that makes a
great impression.
One of the finest of the drawings Is
that Of a great bird as large proper
tionately as the tabled roc. Close in
spection shows tie form to hold 3
