Gilmore ISity.
Sparks from a freight engine started
a blaze In the roof of c. w. Edging-
tons hay barn at the south end Of the
switch yards.s The engineer blew his
whistle long and loud for assistance,
but every one supposed 1t was to scare
some loose stock off Of the track, until
one OF the tra!nmen came up and told
what the trouble was, after which the
fire company was soon on the way to
the fire. The trainmen held the blaze
down by passing buckets Of water from
the engine to the top of box car and
from there to the roof until the fire
company strung out a thousand feet
of hose and were ready to turn the
water on. The damage to the building
was small.

Wesley Bull. Of Humboldt, lost a
good horse in an unusual manner. He
spent the day at Gilmore City and on
reaching home he Embarrassed the
horse and turned it out in the barn lot
to roll. The horse walked up to the
side Of the barn to rub his nose and
fell over dead. Making an investiga-
ton for the cause Of death, Mr.. Bull
discovered that the covering Of an cleo
trio wire which was stretched along
the side Of the barn had worn off, leav-
ing the wire exposed. The horse had
stuck his nose against that exposed
spot and the shock had killed him. In
making the investigation Of the wire
Mr. Bull received a pretty strong shock
