thinks best after full investigation
of all the facts and circumstances
bearing on the case. The claim is
made against the county that it was
negligent in not anticipating accidets
and placing better safeguards in front
of the ditch or excavation at the point
where the bridge was to be construct
ed; that there were no boards or 9th
er warning at proper distance from
the opening to enable one to discover
the danger in time to stop moving

The point is made in favor of the
county that the deceased was care
less in driving his car and was. al

rate of speed and that his negligence
contributed to the injury.

or information sufficient to express an

in the highways. The board of super

Notice of Suit Filed for Heavy Dam
ages by Estate Of Martin Du9an,
Who Was Killed Near Vail.
WILL CONSIDER CLAIMS MONDAY
Claim That County Was Negligent II
Not Anticipating Accidents and
Placing Better Safeguards

The readers of the Review will re-
member that some two months since
Martin Dugan was killed at a point a
few miles south of Vail by his car.
which he was driving, plunging over
an embankment where county bridge
was being constructed across small
stream. The car was loaded at the
time with a party of young people,
friends of the deceased, and while
each one of the party sustained in
juries of more or less serious char
acter, young Martin Dugan himself,
who was driving the car, was caught
in such a manner that he was thrown
under the car and crushed to death.
1t was predicted at the time that a
suit might be commenced against the
county to recover damages for the in
juries of the several young people rid
ing as passengers in the car, and also
by the estate of the young man whose
life was sacrificed. While no suit has
been started, preliminary notice has
been given the county which cOntem-
plates that large number of cases
will probably soon be commenced
against the county A statement,
which is in effect claim against the
county, has been filed in the office of
the county auditor which shows that
the estate of young Dugan makes a
claim against the county of $4,000.

FIREY EMBERS
CARRIED 1900 FEET
Five Barns and Workshops Burned
to the Ground in Short
Space of Time.
CAUSE OF FIRE is UNKNOWN
Department Responds, but Devotes
Attention to Saving Residences
From the Flames.

Fire Saturday night destroyed
five barns and most of their contents
at about a quarter after nine o'clock
The property destroyed was the barns
and workshop belonging to Messrs
r. M. Wilcox, James Anderson, w. R
Temple, Mrs. Staley and John Van
Winkle.
How the fire started is unknown
and there are many theories set forth
as to the cause. 1t is thought, how
ever that it originated in the Van
Wrinkle worshop, as this building was
the first to be discovered on fire. Mr.
VIM. Lorenzen when going home not
iced the flames and thinking the build
ing belonged to Mr.. Wilcox went tc
the door and informed Mrs. Wilcox
who Immediately telephoned the cen
trail telephone office and the call was
sent in to the fire department from
that source.
Before the arrival of the department
the flames had gained such headway
that the department devoted its ener
gies to the saving of the residences
and kept the tire from spreading. The
burning of the buildings was spect
acular and was the means of drawing
a large crowd.
Mr.. Wilcox was fortunate in saving
his horse, carriage and delivery wag
on; his feed and number of tools
We're destroyed. Mr.. Van Wrinkle, per
haps, suffered the heaviest loss, as
all his carpenter tools were in the
workshop and were burned. The loss
of Mrs. Staley was also considerable
although the buildings were not a.
| valuable as some of the others. A
number of pigeons belonging to the
Staley boys were confined in wire
netting and only a few of them were
saved, number of chickens were
also burned. The other buildings con
Itaine.ye nothing of value, but the los
of the buildings is considerable to th'
owners.
/ The strong wind carried flying shing
les and burning embers for a distance
of over 1000 feet, and people in th'
