ANOTHER LAUNDRY FIRE.
Meeker Company Has Second Blaze
!. Within Six Weeks

I - WITHIN SIX weeks.
| Several hundred towels, a large
quantity Of betting, and a dozen or
more clothes baskets were destroyed in
the second fire within six weeks at
the Meeker laundry. 1T West Main
! street, between II and IL o'clock Mon
day night. The cause Of the fire,
which started in the basement, is
doubtful. The superstition is that some
paint covered overalls were among a
pile of unwashed clothes. and that the
fire resulted from spontaneous COM
bustion.
On. Nov. s, fire In the, basement did
tconsiderable damage in the basement
and first floor of the laundry, and
painters and plasterers had just fin
ished remodeling the main room, when
this second blaze did more damage in
the basement.
S. j. Taylor, who rooms above the
laundry, smelled smoke in his room
about IL o'clock and on going down
stairs saw flames shooting up thru
the floor. He gave the alarm, and
when the firemen arrived they found
the blaze had gained considerable
Roadway in the basement. Very little
water was used. altho the flremen
worked under difficulties, as the cleo
trio wiring was burned away and no
lights were available.
Employees worked most CT the night
putting things to rights, with the re-
suit that no work will be delayed. The
loss is estimated by George Willigrod,
president of the company, to be APP
proximateiy 5000, fully covered by In
surance.

Despite RAIN, FAIR OF LAST FALL
KEEPS WELL UP NEAR
THE TOP.
RANKS FIRST IN MANY
RESPECTS in THE STATE
Was Second in Total Attendance and
Second in 1Ssai Paid Admissions
Stood First in Cash Premiums Paid,
and First For Premiums Paid For
Cattle, Swine and Poultry.

| In spite Of the rainy weather that
very seriously interfered with at
tendance and the numbers of exhibitors
and exhibits, the Marshall county fair
last September ranks first in many Of
its details with the ninety other county
fairs Of the state held last fall. This,
and other more detailed information
| Of the ranking OF the local fair, Is taken
| from the annual report of Secretary A.
,R. Corey, of the state department OF
agriculture, on the county and dis
| trict fairs made to the annual state
agricultural society convention.
! In total attendance the local fair
ranked first among all the other coun-
ty fairs of the state, and second to the
North Iowa fair, of Mason City, which
is district and not a county fair. The
local fair reported 36,712 as total ad-
missions. The Mason City fair re-
ported 44.129. In paid attendance the
Marshall county fair passed the Mason
City fair, which reported paid admis-
sions Of 24,129 to this county's $4,000.
Largest in Premiums.
In the amount of premiums paid,
which is one of the best indications
1 pose Of fair. the local fair has few
rivals in the state. Exclusive of the
state fair there were only two called
fairs in Iowa last year that paid larger
cash premiums. One of these was the
Inter- State livestock fair. held at Sioux
City, and the other was the National
dairy cattle congress, held at Water
loo. The latter is in fact not a fair at
| all. but an exhibition of dairy cattle,
open to the nation.
The local fair paid s3,1ss.5O in cash
/ premiums. Only one other fair In
Iowa paid as much or more than
| $4,000. 1t was the Mason City fair
that reported s3,0s9.30.
+! Pays Most on Livestock.
| In the important livestock depart
ments the local fair paid. more pres
miums than any other county fair in
the state. 1t paid more than any other
in premiums for cattle, swine and
! poultry. The amounts were cattle,
1863; swine. 1895: poultry, 1912.
1t was fourth in the amount Of pre-
miUms paid on sheep, second for pre-
miums paid for art work, and third for
premiums for grain and seeds.
The local fair was third in the total
number of exhibitors. with a. total OF
6f5. The Bremen county fair. held at
Waverly. reported $780, and the Black
hawk county fair. held at Cedar Falls,
reported 735, but in both cases these
reports included children exhibitors Of
school work. They were not included
in the report from the local fair. Had,
they been Marshall; county would have
ranked first in this detail also.

Mrs. Ripley Had to Borrow.

Because OF the uncertainty as to
whether Ripley's will disposed OF the
100000 in trust funds. the trust com
pan!es holding the funds refused to pay
over any OF the income to Mrs. Ripley
and her son. In her petition Mrs Ripley
said that she had been compelled 10
borrow money at per cent. interest TO
maintain herself and her son
The Widows contention that she was
entitled to the income OF both trust
funds until her son was 2I and then
to half the income was opposed by a
guardian ad Item appointed to protect the
interest of the son. who Joined with coun.
gel for the Bankers Trust Company IL
Insisting that Ripley's attempt TO dispose
OF the trust funds was void because It
violated the New York statute agains,
perpetuties. The attorney also insisted
that Mrs. Ripleys cash bequest of 800 O0O
and the other legacies could not be paid
out OF the trust funds.
The referee says that soon after the
birth OF tho son. when one trust fund
amounted TO 100000 and the other to
about $500. 900, Mr. Ripley spoke OF the
event as making him "A millionaire. re.
ferring TO the fact that by the will o,
Sidney Dillon he had power OF disposl-
ton of property held In trust for him only
in the event that he left a child" The
referee concludes that the phrase my
estate in Mr.. Dillon's will means not
only all the property he held outright
but the two trust funds. and that these
funds should be turned over to Mrs.
Dillon.
The referee decides also that all OF
Mr.. Ripley's debts shall be paid out OF
the trust funds and the remainder is Ia
be held for the benefit OF Mrs Ripley and
her son. This decision Is final
