TURNED IN FALSE ALARM

The fire department was called out
at about 1880 p. m. Thursday, of last
week, for fire in the Stedler resi-
dence on Bay street, which proved to
be false alarm.
Some rags, which had been stuffed
in the flue above an open fireplace to
keep the cold out, were ignited by
sparks from a stovepipe leading into
the fue from above and started to
burn. Some. passerby saw the blaze
inside and thought the house was on
fire and turned in the alarm.

TORS

The state public examiner, at the
annual meeting Of county auditors held
recently, made known his intention to
recommend to the present legislature
that law be passed requiring all
county auditors in the state to attend
an annual school Of instruction, the
purpose of which would be to secure
a greater uniformity in the keeping
Of the records.
With the records Of each county
kept in the same way the work Of the
state public examiner would be great
ly lessened.
County Auditor McNairy expresses
himself as being in favor Of such meet
ings, providing they would be held Tor
