The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E. P.
Greene, located mile and half east
of town, was destroyed by fire Monday
morning. Mrs. Green was alone in the
house and awakening discovered the
rooms full of smoke. The portieres
between the sleeping room and the ad-
joining room were ablaze. She at
tempted to put out the blaze, but it
had gotten too much of a start. She
was only able to save few articles of
clothing. The origin of the fire is
mystery, but it is supposed to have
started from stove or lighted lamp.
The loss falls heavily upon them as none
of the articles were insured.

to the genuineness of the disease 1t is
whispered that he and Mr.. Boyd, the
two legal lights of the town, went to
Pasco the other day and rode back on a
freight train. They jumped off on the
fatal spot where DR.. Pallister made his
debut some time ago getting off the
North Coast Limited, and their pictures
are gracefully inscribed in the cinders
along the track. Hence the sore cheek.
They have concluded in the future to
observe the rule laid down by the Su-
preme Court of Common Sense, that
natural perambulation is for safer To-
comotion than a borrowed freight train.
