Grocery Visited
By COnfIagratiOn
Kuenzli and Luscher Store Scene Of
Mild Blaze Last Tuesday
Evening
Both Stock and Building Scorched and
Water Soaked-Loss About
$1,000

Fire broke out in the basement of
the Scenic City Market last Tuesday
night and from there burned through
the partition into the Kuenzli- Luscher
Grocery where it did considerable
damage. The only thing that saved
the entire block from being badly
burned was that the fire broke out
early in the evening and was discov-
cred before it had reached serious
blaze. Had it occurred a few hours
later when few people were on the
street the result would undoubtedly
have been disastrous.
Building and Stock Damaged
The meat market was very little
damaged, the most of the trouble hav-
ing been caused by the water used in
quenching the fire.
The Kuenzli-Luscher building was
badly scorched as well as very much
water soaked and will require consid-
cradle remodeling and entire redecor-
ating.
The owners have planned extensive
improvements including a steel ceiling
and plate glass front with side en-
trance. The entire building will be re-
painted and completely rejuvenated.
Loss About $1,000
1t is estimated that the injury to
the stock amounts to nearly $1,000
while the loss on the building itself is
estimated at rather more than $500.
Both were protected by insurance.
Business Not Handicapped
Messrs. Kuenzli and Luscher showed
great enterprise and initiative in not
allowing their customers to be incon-
venienced by the accident. The store
was open for business Immediately af-
ter the visit of the adjustor, and has
been handling all the trade that came
its way since.
While the stock in the store itself
was greatly depleted, the reserve stock
in the storerooms and basement sup
piled all demands made upon it.
Much Of the damaged stock is disable
and is being disposed of. Crockery,
which was thought to be ruined at
first, is found to be as good as new af-
ter being cleaned, and cans which in
some cases have the labels scorched
off, are found to be uninjured as to
contents.

F of the Tenth Minnesota for three
years, during which time he engaged

first male communicate of the Episco-
pal church of Redwood Falls and until
his illness always took an active part
in church work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodrich were married
in 1857 and nine children were born to
them. Seven of these children sur
vive their father. They are Mrs. F.

Joseph Hoffman Walks from Bismark
To Redwood Falls in Thirteen
Days
TWO DAYS AHEAD OF TIME
Has Walked Faster Than Average Set
By Wager-Will Win Eight Hun
dred Dollars

Joseph Hoffman who was in Red
wood Falls the last week in September
on hiking expedition from Cincinnati
to Bismark, North Dakota, was here
on his return trip Friday.
Mr.. Hoffman walked from Bismark
to Redwood Falls, distance of four
hundred, seventy-five miles since Oc--
tober 16, making an average of more
than thirty-six miles per day. He does
not walk on Sundays.
Mr.. Hoffman left Cincinnati in
August, undertaking to make the hike
to Bismark and return at an average
of thirty miles per day, thereby gain
ing wager of eight hundred dollars.
He is now two days ahead of his sche-
dule and enjoying the trip immensely.
viii Walk 270O Miles
The round trip when completed will
be twenty hundred miles. Mr..
Hoffman is making the return trip
over the same route taken in going
out.
Mr.. Hoffman travels in khaki suit
and brown hat, carries pack" weigh
ing about sixty pounds and is appar-
emily enjoying the trip hugely. He
says he has never known day of i'll
ness SO cannot say If he has been bene-
fitted by the trip or not. But he does
know that he has enjoyed every day
of it and il feeling particularly fit
A rather remarkable feature of the
trip is that Mr.. Hoffman has worn the
same pair of shoes on the trip SO far,
and they will apparently last him until
he reaches Cncinnatti as they are

When discovered the baby was on the

she soon revived. The physicians at
tending her said that no bones were
broken, but could not be sure for
day or two whether internal injuries
had been sustained. The child's head

but she was resting we'll this after
noon.
The accident is the second of the

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

The decision of the Arkansas su-
preme court dissolving the injunction
issued by Chancellor Martineau re-
moves all doubt as to the fact that
Judge George W. Hays is the legal
nominee of the Democratic party for
governor.
The court, however, decided the
case on the purely technical issue
that courts have no jurisdiction in
equity over the acts of duly qualified
representatives of a party organiza-
ton in the selection of a nominee,
and that the only relief OF an aggriev-
ed party is at common law In other
words, the court holds that in the
present case the State Democratic
Central Committee was sovereign in
sofar as the party is concerned, and
there is no appeal from its decisions
TO the courts.
1t will always remain an open ques-
ton whether if the vote had been
puTged of all fraudulent ballots on
both sides Mr.. Brundidge or Judge
Hays would have been the nominee
The courts decision does not in any
manner vindicate the majority of the
State Democratic Central Committee
for it's ruthless operation of the steam
roller. 1t would have been far better
for the party if this committee had,
in the limited time at its disposal,
made an honest and earnest investiga
ton of Mr.. Brundidge's charges.
But, while it does not dispose of
these questions, the decision undoubt-
eddy bestows the nomination upon
Judge Hays, who perhaps is not per-
sonally to be blamed for the high
handed and ill-advised political meth
DDS of his associates.
AS the Log Cabin Democrat has
said throughout the campaign, we be-
lieve Judge Hays is a clean, upright
and honorable gentleman. From our
standpoint he has been unfortunate

ing in the foreground of his campaign
some of the most undesirable elements

he can, and we believe he will, remove
himself from the influence and control
of this faction and make good gov
ernor for all the people.
AS the official nominee of the Demo-
cratic party, the Log Cabin Democrat
cheerfully accords its support to
Judge George W. Hays.

COUNTY GETS A
CROUND.SOAKfR

A ground-snaking rain, the first
general season" for nearly two
months, fell throughout the county
this morning. The rain began to fall
about 8 o'clock, and a steady down.
pour continued all morning and
throughout the early portion of the
afternoon. According to Prof. G. H.
Burr's guage, exactly 2 inches of pre-
cipitation had been recorded up to
1870 o'clock, and it was still raining.
The rain will be immense benefit to
crops. Early corn had been suffering
Tor several weeks, and in some sec
tions corn was severely damaged.
Late corn and cotton, however. have
not been hurt and will be greatly bene-
fited Gardens, pastures and forage
crops of all kinds will be restored to
life and abundance Of water for live
stock is assured.

THE DEPOT CONTROVERSY.

The satisfactory adjustment of the
controversy over the location of the
tracks on the public square, incident
20 the erection of the new passenger
station at Conway, as recorded in the
news columns of the Log Cabin Demo-
crat today, is matter for congratu-
lation by the entire citizenship.
The property owners who instituted
the injunction suit were loath to do
anything to hinder work on the long
needed depot, and would not have
done so, unless they felt that their
property and the property of the city
woQld have been seriously damaged by
the proposed arrangement of tracks
and buildings. That the complaints
were Just was conceded by Supt. c. b.
Wildman, who stated that the en-
croachments on the street and square
were contrary to the plans as drawn
for the improvements and were errors
of the engineers.
Mr.. Wildman clearly demonstrated
that he did not desire for the railroad
company to occupy more ground than
was absolutely necessary for freight
and passenger facilities under the new
arrangement. He willingly conceded
many points and his evident desire to

THE tragic death of Judge James
H. Harrod is deeply deplored in
Faulkner county, where he lived for
so many years. Everyone who knew
him was his friend, and it seems ter
rible indeed that he should have been
stricken down in the prime of bril-
liant life. In their sad bereavement,
Mrs. Harrod and her son have the
deepest sympathy of hundreds of
friends and relatives in this city and
county. AS for the reckless automo-
bile driver who caused Judge Harrod's
death, his punishment should be so
swift and so severe as will forever
prevent recurrence of such an mex
cusable tragedy.
