dence there the manifestation of un-
canny effects was most marked, al
though at intervals the disturbances
recur with. great violence.
More history was added to the tract
during the winter of 1867-68, when a
man by the name of Fosna went across
it to the Joe Roe farm, to the west,
and was taken back corpse. Roe
was butchering hogs when Fosna ar
rived. Calmly picking up q sharp
knife, Fosna tested it on his thumb,
located his heart, and before any one
could interrupt him, stabbed himself.
Dreams Of Hearse.
After his father had dreamed for
three nights in succession that he had
seen hearse drawn by two black
horses drive to their home on the
murder tract" John KEN was brought
home the victim of hunting accident.
This was in the winter of 1871. The
young man had gone coon hunting on
a farm to the north of the tract, near
the place where the Whitaker girl was
found dead. A tree which he and his
comrades cut down broke limb from
another tree, which crushed him.
In March of the next year the body
of an itinerant butcher, unidentified,
was found east of the murder tract
on the asylum grounds. The man. who
carried complete kit of butchers
tools, had climbed tree and hung
himself with his belt. His body hung
in the tree several days before the
buckle broke and let it fall to the
ground where it was discovered.
Sisters Premonition.
While sitting by her child's cradle
on November 2, 1889, Mcclellan Mil
ler's sister had a premonition Of her
brothers death She imagined she
saw him lying in cornfield between
two rows. Later his body was found
in a field north of the tract. Death
had been caused by rifle ball, and
was attributed to the accidental dis
charge of his own gun.
Just across the National road, to the
south, a double tragedy followed a
few years ago, when man by the
name of Railsback used a double.
barrel shotgun to kill Alexander and
and Raymond Meek in quarrel over
a boundary line.
The last of the extraordinary series
Of tragic deaths which have happened
in and 'round the mysterious house
on the murder tract" were those re-
sulting from an automobile wreck in
which Miss Ada Kelly and Miss limo
gene Smith lost their lives. This hap
pened at the corner of the tract.

JEFFERSON RA|SERS
STORE WHEAT CROP

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, July 9.-The
hum of the threshing machine was
heard in Jefferson township yester-
day for the first time this season. The
wheat is of good quality, and yields
from twenty to thirty bushels to the
acre. But the price, being only sew
enty cents, the same as corn, the ma
jority of farmers are storing their
wheat and will have it ground for
feed. This is done because a bushel
Of wheat will put on more pounds OF
flesh than a bushel of corn, and as
they have to pay $2S ton for mid
dlings, they figure that wheat ground
into feed is much cheaper. The oats
crop is very poor on account OF the
drought, and corn is suffering from
lack of rain.

DEATH IN FIRE
DAKOTA FARMER, WIFE AND
CHILD BURNED ALIVE NEAR
PARKER.
HAPP ENiNGS OVER THESTATE
What is Going on Here and There
That is Of Interest to the Read.
srs Throughout South "a.
kota and Vicinity.

Parker.-William ]. Mccoy, aged
about 35, a farmer living one mile
north of this city, wife and son Mar
win, aged A years, we're burned to death
in their home. They had been to s
O'Clock mass at st. Christmas church
and returned home. Mrs. Mccoy and
her son went to their bedroom to rest
awhile, while Mr.. Mccoy went to the
earn to do the chores.
About an hour later Mr.. Mccoy
heard a scream, looked out of the barn
and saw his home in flames. Bruno
Johnson, a near neighbor, had just
seen the fire and ran to the scene. He
met Mccoy near the house and tried
to prevent him from rushing in
through the shed to the kitchen door,
as the house was a mass of fire. John
son tried in vain to induce Mccoy not
to enter the burning house, but he
rushed in and was burned to death.
Other neighbors were soon at the
scene, but the flames kept them from
entering the house, which was entirely
burned.
The bodies of the McCoys, burned to
a crisp, were brought to Parker and lie
in the undertaking rooms here.
Mrs. Mccoy was a daughter OF Fred
d. Highstreet, a prominent farmer east
of Parker, and a sister of Mrs. John
Elker, Milwaukee agent at Marion,
S. d.
Whether the fire started from the
stove or lamp is not known. The fam
lily was well respected and prominent,
and had many relatives in this county.

as to the over-enthusiasm of its devo-
tees, who have advocated it for pur-
poses and locations for which it was
never intended.
Designed originally for summer cot
tage work and for spacious building
sites, preferably of a hilly nature,
there have been too many instances
where this type of dwelling has been
squeezed into a narrow city lot and
put in between high houses of two or
three stories, much to the detriment
of the typical bungalow style. Much
very peculiar art has been perpetrated
in the nfele of the bungalow, and it
has to iccounl for many freakish
dwellir IS for which it is not in any
way to blame.
We have never happened to see a
bungalow style Office building, nor do
we remember having heard of one;
still, what is almost as bad, the bunga-
low style church is quite a common
thing in many of our cities and sub
urbs. These are uses never contem-
plated by the o~riginators Of the bung-
allow in this country, and should not
be charged up against the style. The
bungalow, rightly understood. is an
artistically designed cottage. and with
in that sphere has some exceedingly
creditable features of work to show.
The estimated cost Of the house
here shown ranges from $1,000 to
$4,000, depending to some extent on
the locality and on local market con-
ditions of material and labor. The de-
sign has that simplicity and direct
ness which are the keynotes charac-
teristic of the bungalow style of
house. At a cost no greater than for
a plain, unornamented cottage with
the same accommodations, a real
home-like, cozy and attractive dwell
ing is secured.
The porch. as can be seen. is a
prominent feature adding to the ex-
ternal appearance; and the same lie

Beresford Wins Lutheran Home.

Beresford.-The residents of this
place are rejoicing because, after
months of effort, Beresford has been
selected by the Norwegian Lutheran
synod of the northwest as the place
for the location of an old peoples
home, which will be established by the
synod and conducted under the direc-
ton of the officers of the church. The
main building of the new home will
cost between $4,000 and $4,000. Pre-
liminary arrangements already are be-
ing made for the erection of the build
ing, SO the home can be opened to the
old and dependent people of the
church at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
