Evansville

There is possibility that Evansville
may lose the free delivery of mail. For
several years now the postal depart
ment has delivered the city mail in Ev-
ansville and in few other places of
similar size in the United States. 1t is
called "village delivery and at first
was regarded in the nature of an ex
pertinent But the city of Evansville
has gone to considerable expense in
plating the city, naming all the streets
properly, putting up appropriate signs
at intersection of streets, numbering
houses, etc., and now expects the gov
eminent to keep its part of the agree
ment. This expense weuld not have
been incurred if it had not been under
stood that the postal department would

A fire loss, amounting to about $780,
900, was sustained here Saturday night
by the Paulson Lumber company in one
of the wickedest fires ever seen in this
city. Shortly before 7 o'clock pedes-
TRANS noticed smoke rising from the
lumber piled at the east end of the
yards. The local fire department was
summoned and efforts were made to
check the spreading flames that threat
ened the entire yards and the surround
ing section, including the Baker Mfg.
Co., that lay not far distant. The
GAINESVILLE department was called, but
by o'clock another call was sent to
the Bower City that the fire was under
control. The cause of the fire was
spontaneous combustion, workmen hav-
ing been dipping shingles in linseed oil
during the day. Insurance to the
amount of S13, 900 covers over half the
loss. The Muenchow residence nearby
was afire short time, but little dam
age was done.
