HAYDEN

HAYDEN. Feb 9-At about 11:30 | o'clock Friday morning the cottage occupied by M. R Lescher and wife in the smelter section of Hayden was completely destroyed by fire destroying practically all of their ef- fects. The blaze is supposed to have originated from the kitchen stove. Mrs. Lesher had stepped over to a neighbor's for a few minutes and it was then that the flames started and got beyond control before being detected. The cottage was a small building of three rooms standing among a number of others of the same type and it is much to the credit of the A. s. X R. volunteer fire department that the loss was restricted to the one building. The good work of the fire fighters may be largely attributed to the frequent drills they have had in the service.

The Hayden Gun club has received a challenge from the Ray Gun club to match it's skill with them at an early date and our local marksmen will put in considerable time prepar- ing for the slaughter Many rumOrs have come to our ears of the splendid marksmanship of the Ray boys and there is no doubt that our local spOrtsmen are up against the real thing

 building at the time and it is thought
 that an electric iron which had been
