Editor John ID. Burt, who was down
from South Shore last week, speaking
of the prairie fire in the vicinity of
South Shore which destroyed upwards
of 500 tons OF hay. said that the latest
information which he had obtained

probably reimburse the losers for
the loss, Ii having been conceded by
the section men that the fire original
ed from the sparks from a locomotive.
Some of the citizens Of South Shore
hurriedly jumped from their beds up
on the spread OF the IRE alarm, and
dressed themselves in haste, rushing
to their automobiles TO get out and
help fight the fire, found upon their
arrival at the scene that the greater
portion of the damage had already
been done. However, they succeeded
In helping the farmers a V some Of

L. J.. SHAW FATHER DEAD

Mr.. l.. j.. Shaw was summoned to
Madison, S. D., last week on account
Of the death Of his father, James
Shaw, well and favorably known by
many Watertown people. 1t appears
that he was i'll but a few hours, hav-
ing contracted pneumonia. The Mad
ison Daily Sentinel refers as follows
to the deceased: James Shaw, a
well-known pioneer citizen of Madi-
son, died yesterday at $3.50 p. m.
after a very brief illness. He felt
symptoms of pneumonia the day be-
fore, but retired and slept well appar-
emily until O'clock in the morning,
when he awakened worse. His lungs
filled rapidly and he passed away in
the afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw
had planned to leave next Tuesday
for Florida, where they have spent
the past few winters. The deceased
was one of the early pioneers of this
city and in 1886 was the proprietor
of a grocery store in the room now
occupied by Earl Kelley. He is sur
yived by his widow, n daughter.
