Hayes Homestead: Friday af-
ternoon about 4 o'clock, the house
on the Johnston Jetfries' ranch,
about five miles northeast of San
sarc, burned to the ground. The
origin of the fire is unknown. No
one was at the house, Mr.. Jeffries
being at a distance hunting, when
be discovered the flames, but too
late to save any of the contents of
the house. He states that he left
no fire in the stove. 1t was good
sized, well built house, making it
a heavy loss. Mr.. .Jeffries just
came from town the night before
with a load of coal, which also
burned.
The worlds record for blowing
was recently broken in a demon,
stration at Purdue University, In
diana, in which a gang plow hav-
ing 50 plows and drawn by three
traction engines turned over a
stubble field at the rate of an acre
every four minutes and fifteen
seconds, says the January Popular
Mechanics Magazine in an illus
trated article. This mammoth
plow cuts strip nearly SO feet
wide, and turns over acres for
every mile it travels. Each of the
so plows is independent of the
others, rising and falling as easily
and naturally as a wooden chip on
the surface of rough water, 50 that
the service of the machine is not
confined to ground absolutely
level.
r. V. Fletcher was somewhat
disturbed the other day when word
was received from the bank at
Midland, that two checks, each
carrying the amount of $72 and his
signature had been presented for
payment and that suspecting a for
gerry they had held them up pend
ing an investigation. The checks
were made payable to a party at
Black Pipe and were both cashed
by innocent parties, one by Cut
Meat Mercantile Co.. and the other
by a bank at Stamford, so we are
told. A representative of the Cut
Meat Mercantile Co., was in town
Sunday comforting with Mr..
Fletcher. At the present writing
no arrest has been made. White

Bridget, O'Flarity had recon-
mendation written for her before
leaving Ireland to come to America.
When coming across, while lean
ing over the railing of the steamer,
she dropped the letter into the
ocean. On her arrival in New
York she didn't know how to pro-

omnendation, SO she appealed to
Pat Rafferty,, a fellow passenger,
and he wrote the following letter
for her: ITO the general public
Bridget O'Flairity had a good rep
