and leave Mr.. Rasenor alone il
the future.
This city and community was
greatly shocked Sunday evening
to learn of the sudden death, neal
Ansonia, of William D. (''Col. ~
Rush, manager of the Home Tel.
ephone Co. He. with his family,
had been up near North Star in
their automobile and were on
their return home and when a.
bout a mile and a half north OF
Ansonia Mr.. Rush made the re-
mark that he felt smotheling and
a little while afterward thu .his
cellar felt too tight and just then
he fell to one side of the seat and
his head dropped forward, fol-
death had suddenly come to him.
His son Haskell, who was operat-
ing the car, put On all speed to
the Office of DR.. Stevens in An
sonia, who, on first examination
pronounced life extinct, and that
death had occurred Immediately
after Mr.. Rush remarked of feel
ing bad the second time. Friends
here upon learning the news,
hastily repaired to the little nor
thern town and assisted in bring
ing the remains to the city and
to the undertaking establishment
of ]. C. Turpen, where they were
prepared for burial. No death
has occurred here recently that
so shocked and startled the COM
munity. Mr.. Rush was we'll
known and we'll liked, having
held many positions of promi-
nence and at the time of his death
was manager of the telephone
company in this city, the Union
City Telephone Co. and was also
Director of Public Safety. In
politics, he was a Republican and
took a very active part in all it's
affairs, both state and local. In
1890 he was married to Miss Mary
Lynch, daughter of DR.. Elijah
and Mary Lynch, early Darke
county settlers, and to whom was
born one son, Haskell, now grown
to manhood and who, since the
recent death of his wife, with his
babe, has made his home with his
parents on East Main street. Mr..
Rush was born on July 9. 1861,
and was 55 years, 4 months and
10 days old. Funeral services
were held at the Presbyterian
church Wednesday afternoon in
charge of the Masonic Order, the
sermon being preached by Rev.
C. C. Mckinney. Burial was
made in Greenville cemetery.

A prominent mems hat buyer Of

observation and summing up the whole

'BOb0 LOSES BARN,
 COW, HAY IN FIRE
Flames Destroy Granary on Old Lynn Place, Causing
 Loss of $2,500.

A big barn, filled with hay, was to- tally destroyed by fire about = o'clock last evening, on the old Lynn place, several mile | southwest Of the city, the loss being estimated at from 5000 to 5000, with no insu- ranse. One COW was also lost in tne fire.
 The Lynn place is now occupied by l.. c. Bobo, whose loss IS quite heavy. His entire supply of hay, TOT the winter, was in the barn and it proved a total loss Neighbors aided greatly in fighting the fire, and suc ceede1 in preventing it from spread ing to good-sized potato house, and to the dwelling.
 The cause of the fire is a mystery. There has been no fire near the barn for several days, although the past three or four days several tramps have been noticed in the vicinity, hence it is believed one of them may have been responsible for the fire.
 When the fire was discovered, most Of the stock was in the barn, but all was saved with the exception of the one COW which was incinerated. Re- ports of the affair which first reached the city, had it that the dwelling, the barn, tie potato house and about dozen head of stock had been lost, but later information proved the damage was not nearly so complete.
 Slight Fire Damage.
 A burning flue in the home of Mrs. Ida Wilson, 1O11 West, Fourth ave- nue, about G:55 o'clock last evening, caused virtually no damage, the new auto truck crew extinguishing the blaze in short order.
