Fire At Graceham

Early last Friday morning fire broke
out in the residence of Mr.. Chester Joy
at Graceham, and for time it was thot
that the eastern portion of the village
would be destroyed. The fire is suppos-
ed to have been started by stovepipe
becoming overheated, articlesin the room
occupied by Mrs. Joy catching fire. Mrs.
Joy has been ill for some time and was
carried to the home of aneghbor. Those
persons who assisted in subduing the fire
fought it in dense smoke, all windows
being kept closed on account of strong
wind. The furniture in the room was
badly damaged.

Greatest Comedy in The World.

AS has been remarked, the history OF
a successful play is usually quite as in,
teresting as the play itself. The story
of how, when and where it was written,
and the experience the author had before
it was produced, are frequently filled with
those elements of romance and adventure
that make fiction stories popular.
With this thought in mind | asked Mr.
Craven to tell me the story of Too Many
Cooks" and discovered it was one OF
those lucky accidents in play writing that
are practically plotless.
Mr.. Craven has had the idea for his
little comedy in mind for ten years. He
was always going to write the story Of
the house that should start from it,
foundation and finish with its completion
but didn't do it. Did not even try tt
write it until year ago, when he wa'
playing Jimmy Gilley in Bought ant
Paid For" in Chicago.
Then he wrote the first act in single
night. At 10 O'Clock in the morning h,
was called to the phone and told he wa
to pack his things Immediately and star
for London. Bought and Paid For
was to be produced over there, and Mr.
Broadhurst was particularly anxious tina
Craven should play his original part. A
the close of the London run he starte'
the second act, which he finished in an
other day or two.
On the steamer that brought him HON
VIM. A. Brady was fellow passenger
During one of their conversations tn
manager remarked that he wished h
had light comedy with which to ope

Accident At School Building
Friction Band Failed TO Hold
Bucket Falls.

An accident, the first to occur at the
High School building, happened early
Tuesday morning.
The work of putting down the concrete
floor above the basement story was COM
menced Monday. In order to get the
concrete to its destination 50-foot tower
has been erected. A large iron bucket
especially for the purpose is hoisted on
the inside of this tower to height of
about As feet where the contents is dump
ed into large funnel from which it is
directed in large trough to any part of
the floor.
Tuesday morning when bucket of
concrete was being hoisted one of the
workmen having occasion to go to the
top of the tower got on the bucket.
When near the place the bucket is
dumped, Mr.. Hoke who was attending
the engine, threw off the gas and applied
the friction brake to give the man a
chance to get out of the tower. A bolt
holding the brake broke and in an in
slant the bucket and man was coming
down the tower at rapid speed. Before
they reached the ground the emergency
brake was thrown on. The sudden stop
caused by this brake tore the heavy wire
hosting cable and also tore piece from
the 8xS leg of the tower where the lower
nullov wheel was attached
The man in the bucket fortunately
came down the proper way, otherwise
his head would have struck the side of
the tower and he would have been killed.
All hands were terribly frightened but
no one was Injured.
The breaking of the cable and brake
caused considerable delay and extra
personal work

Hunting Season OpenS.

Owing to the passage of State law
at the last session of the Legislature,
the season for hunting did not open un-
til Tuesday of this week. Early in the
morning gunners got busy in this vicini-
ty and for time reports of guns here
and there were heard in quick succession.
Firing became less frequent in short
time indicating that game was getting
scarce or hard to locate. OF course ev-
cry shot fired did not mean rabbit or
bird killed. We speak from experience.
