FIRE FROM OvERHEATED STOVE
Cottage of Peter Damaged
Fire in saloon.

Cottage of Peter Damaged
Fire in saloon.
The rear part of a one-story frame cot
tage on Avenue D., near the corner of
Eighth street, owned by Peter Donahue
and occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Green
lee was seriously damage by fire at a
late hour Saturday night. The blaze, which
was caused by an o~verheated stove In the
house. started during the absence Of Green
lee and his wife who were attending a
dance but a block away. They did not
learn of the fire until after the depart
ment had extinguished 1t.
When they left home the Greenlees
neglected to close the draughts on the
stove and Ii became SO hot that it set fire
to the wall Of the kitchen. The fire had
made considerable Roadway before 1t was
discovered and by the time the firemen
reached the place the whole back part of
the cottage was In flames. The firemen
experienced some delay in getting water on
the building as two OF the nearby hy-
drants were found to be out OF commission
by reason of the ''stuffing boxes'' being
frozen. The damage was said to be COW
cred by insurance.
Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning
the saloon at the corner OF South Main
and Story streets conducted by John Nc
Farlan was on fire. Gasoline leaking from
the lighting plant had caught and a serious
blaze would probably have resulted had It
not been discovered shortly after 1t started.
The flremen used the hand hemic and
except for the scorching of the bar front
and a small hole burned in the floor, the
place was not damaged.
Fire, said to have. been caused by an
oveThested stove, destroyed the Rock Is
land railroad yard office at Thirteenth ave-
nue. and Eighth street about $3.50 O'Clock last
night. The building, a small frame struc-
ture, burned like finder, and by the time
the fire department reached the place 1t
was a mass OF flames.

City Will Wait
Outcome of Suit
No Disposition to Sell Water Bonds
Until Courts Have Passed on
Their Legality.

Although Judge Smith Mcpherson decided
the suit brought in the federal court by
the c. b. Nash company to restrain the
city from issuing the proposed $60O,O0
water works bonds In favor of the city, and
dissolved the injunction secured by the
plaintiff company, it is not expected that
any effort will be made by the municipal
authorities to sell the bonds until the litiga-
ton is finally determined. The fact that
the C. b. Nash company intends to appeal
from Judge McPherson's ruling acts as an
estoppel to the sale of the bonds, as the
city officials realize that as long as the
question of the validity Of the issue is not
definitely determined it is doubtful If the
bonds could be disposed of at any price.
City Treasurer True is opposed to trying
to sci. the bonds in face OF an appeal and
is of the opinion that 1t would be prac-
tically impossible to find a buyer for them
so long as there Is a suit pending against
tn, issue. "The Nash company still has
the right to appeal its case, and so long
as there is a possibility of this l do not
think 1t wise to issue the bonds. 1t will
take only a short time to dispose of the
securities when they are once ready for
sale and l do not see the advantage Of
offering them before the whole matter is
settled. At the best, buyers OF bonds would
agree to handle the issue only under the
condition that the decision of the circuit
court was sustained by the court II apr
peals," Mr.. True said.
Mr.. True is also of the opinion that the
bonds, once their validity is determined,
could be sold at 4 or at the most AZ per
cent, and that the city council should
rescind its action in deciding that the bonds
should hear x ner cent interest
The matter will probably come up in some
form at the meeting of the city council to-
night, as City Solicitor Kimball is expected
to make a report of the final signing Of the
decree in favor of the city last Friday by
Judge Mcpherson.

The Miners Union, which has been
Systematically squelched by the rich

much for its object as anything the
protection of the miners. However,
this institution, which did SO much for
the man who risks his life under

lowmen, many of whom worked on
farms, and so lured by the dollars OF
the corporations they laid down the
hoe to take up the miners pick when
there arose contests as to conditions or
wages between miners and employers,
with the result that everything except
the union spirit was wiped out. The
union spirit still exists and will some
