One horse was burned to death Sat
urday night when the barn of Frank
Lamb, 110S Taylor avenue, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire. Much hay
and oats, several sets of harness, and
some garden implements were also
destroyed The barn was fully COW
ere by insurance. Tramps have been
in the habit recently of appropriating
the barn for sleeping quarters, says
Mr.. Lamb, and it is believed they can
be connected with the origination of
the blaze which started in the loft, on
the northwest side.
Mr.. Lamb was not at home when
the fire broke out, but his little son
discovered the blaze. Frank Genung
made a heroic effort to save one horse
but the fire was too heavy, and Mr..
Genung received slight burns as the
result of his attempts. John Gamble
aided in saving another outbuilding,
but, though making several runs with
water very close to the flame, was not
injured. The fremen arrived in time
to save this building from destruction.
Immediately after the alarm was CIV
en- the fire wagons were on their way,
but the fire enveloped the entire barn
SO quickly that spectacular blaze
lighted up the entire neighborhood.
So tercely and quickly did the barn
burn that when the first wagon ar
rived the roof had tumbled in. The
spectators witnessed a pathetic scene
when the two animals, tied in the
barn, endeavored to break loose and
escape death. The rope attached to
one animal was burned off and the
horse eaped out of the flames to safe
ty. The other was seen struggling in
the blaze for a moment and then, eX-
hausted from inhaling smoke and
fame, fell down and peTished.
This is the second time my barn
has burned down." said Mr.. Lamb. 81

Norfolk High School Beats Madison.

Notwithstanding the fact that Mad
isOn defeated the Stanton high school
team by a narrow margin recently,
and that the Stanton team easily de-
feated Norfolk week ago, Norfolk,
Saturday afternoon, gave Madison one
of the most thorough defeats the. Wis
itors ever experienced. The score
was, from the fan side of the diamond,
disgusting one, Norfolk running in
twenty-seven tallies and holding Mad
ison down to two.
Before the game Superintendent
Hunter promised the Madison super
intendent, over long distance tele-
phone, that Norfolk was going to treat
Madison very we'll, but that Madison
was scheduled for an awful drub-
bing" which came true
II. Smith, for Madison, brought in
the first score for his team in the in
itial inning on LOomers grOunder as
sisted by an error on Logan for Nor
folk at first. The other score was
brought in by Bates, who lined out
such long one that it looked like a
home run. He made all the bases, but
the home run was not checked to his
credit, the ball being fumbled by
Smith in the right field against whom
an error was checked. Bates received
much applause from the fans, but the
batting of Madison had ended
All through the game Madison play

The intield men seemed very good foI

aided the intielders in taking up the

team seemed shot to pieces. 1t was
one-sided from start to finish. Every

into service, but one by one, each was

MOROCCAN REBELLION GROWS.
Sultan is Penned Up and Political Out.
look is Uncertain.

Fez, Morocco, April 3O.-By courier
to Tangier, May G.-The arrival of
Captain Bremond's column has not
changed the situation. The invest.
ment of the capital continues. The
rebel horsemen, who are beyond the
reach of the artillery, have cut off
the food supplies. The sultans troops
are worn out with the constant skirm-
ishing and watchfulness.
The rebel chiefs have a growing
moral advantage since now all Mo-
rocco knows that the sultan is penned
up in the capital and that his loyal
troops are unable to move outside the
range of their artillery. The rebels
are obtaining the upper hand through
out the country. Tribes heretofore
loyal are joining the rebellion through
fear that the villages of those refugees
will be raided.
The arrival of the French relief eX-
pedition will secure the entry of pro-
visions and the safety of the capital
but the political outlook is confused
and uncertain.
