tempted to effect crossing a short
distance from the Brentsville pike near
the home of Mr.. Ben Ardery.

rent the animal was swept eff it's feet
and with the buggy was carried down
the stream. The horse was drowned
and the buggy caught on portion of
small watereap holding the vehicle
| fast in the center of the stream.
| All night long Mr.. Ewalt occupied
this perilous position with the water
rising slowly about him. His cries
of distress was not heard until the
early morning when Mr.. Ardery, at.
tracted by the sound which reached hi:
ears, made an investigation and founC
Mr.. Ewalt in the buggy. Going to bis
assistance he succeeded in getting the
harness from the dead horse, which
was washed down the stream. Mr.
Ewalt was taken to the home of MIR

" blaze originated between the roof
and the ceiling o. the 'ome of James
Leffingwell at No. 1414, Concert street
and continued to burn all Of the wood
work that was in reach of the flames
including the entire roof.
The house is a modern two story
brick. the third house from the cor
ner Of Fourteenth, street, and previous
to the lire was in excellent condition.
The cause of the fire was from de-
fective flue and the place where tt
fire broke out gave it ample time to
get good start. before the aid of the
fire department could be secured.
Owing to the frigid condition of
the weather the firemen are deserving
OF much credit for the speedy progress
they made, as many of them when
coming down from the roof were COW
cred with coat of ice.
A close estimate of the loss will
reach in round figures $500 to $4,000
which is partly covered by insurance
both in the Iowa State and Standard
Fire insurance companies of this city.
On account of the strong wind and
the hot blaze two lines of hose and
the chemical engine had to be used
in order to subdue the flames.
