Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Mason sustained
a great loss last Monday evening,
when their dwelling caught on fire.
Mr.. Mason was in town and the men
had assembled in caucus and just
nominated the mayor when the fire
alarm was raised. They Immediately
postponed the meeting and started to
help put out the fire. The origin of
the fire unknown. Upon examination
there proved to be no defects in the
chimney. The fire started in the loft.
Their daughter, Iva, hearing curious
sound above, opened the stairway
door to find blazing fire above. They
did all they could until help arrived
and We're nearly exhausted. Very
fortunately there was no wind and
nearly 10 inches of snow that made
a heavy covering on the roof and
helped add to the water thrown on
the fire to extinguish it. They sue
ceeded in putting out the fire. Part
of the house is very badly damaged
and will doubtless have to be rebuilt.
Their clothing was burned and good
share of the stuff upstairs, except
the bedding on the beds at the oppo-
site end of the room from the fire.
They feel grateful, however, that it
was no worse.

B. H. Beaman passed through town
one day last week. He had been to
Denison for baled hay. Hay was
selling for $4,000 per ton. This is
doubtless the highest price known for
hay here. The long cold winter and
scarcity of the hay crop last season
accounts for the high price.
The carrier failed to make his route
Thursday and Friday, the roads be-
ing blockaded worse than any time
this winter. Now that the six weeks
have passed since the ground hog saw
his shadow, we hope the severity of
the winter has passed, when we can
welcome spring
