Angus Mckay, residing about five
miles northeast of Milton, suffered a sad
misfortune Sunday night, when in some
unexplained manner his fine barn
caught fire and burned to the ground
destroying ten horse, several cattle and
other live stock, together with two
wagons, harness, feed and other mis-

covered about one o'clock in the morn
ing when members Of the household
were awaken by the reflection from the
fire through the window. Nothing
could then be done, however, to save
the live stock or property and all atten-

the adjoining buildings. The loss is a
heavy one for Mr. Mckay, the barn be-
ing worth in the neighborhood of $1,000
and the horses and cattle were all fine
stock. We understand that all in
surance carried was 5000 upon the
structure.

home of VIM. Eastman, living between
Walhalla and Concrete, n day last

chopping wood, something like a mile
from home. the older one, about twelve
years, old using the axe. In aiming
a blow at a stick, the axe glanced and
the bit struck the younger brother, a
lad of about nine years of age, in the
back of the leg at the knee joint.
While the blow did not sever the large
artery, it was so close to it that the
artery was bleeding a little when the
doctor arrived. The eldest boy took up
his brother and carried him for nearly
half a mile toward home, when he
decided that the quicker way was to run
home for assistance, and this be did.
DR.. Scott was called and fixed up the
