THREE HORSES BURN
TO DEATH IN BARN FIRE
Snyder Barn on Cedar st. De-
StrOyed by Flames of MyS-
FERROUS Origin.

A fire of a mysterious origin Mon
day night at 1850 o'clock caused the
death of three horses belonging to
Councilman Niles IOwman of this city
and destroyed a barn at the corner
of Lawrence and Cedar SITS, owned
by Fred Snyder of L. Joseph st.
The fire was first discovered by q
man named Gill, who resides around
the corner on Z. Lawrence st. Snyder
was preparing to retire when he no.
ticed the rear wall of the barn ablaze.
Rushing from the house he pulled the
nearest alarm at the corner of Elm
and Cedar SITS, and summoned both
central and the north side hose house
to the fire.
Several buggies and delivery wag-
onS were safely removed from the
building, but it was impossible to
save the horses, as the part of the
barn containing the stalls was afire.
1t was the theory Monday evening
that the building was set afire by
tramps who were attempting TO find
a nights lodging in the hay NOV.
The damage to the building was
estimated in the neighborhood Of 500
and the loss of the horses was placed
at about $400. The barn and horses
were partly covered by insurance.

Was He Right?

A Chicago doctor gained a lot
of free advertising last week by
standing idly by and permitting a
baby to die which he could have
saved by a comparatively simple
operation.
He refused to operate on the
ground that if the child lived it
would be a cripple and morally
and mentally defective. The
mother of the child consented to
allow it to die, on the advice OF
the doctor.
"A coronor's jury composed OF
physicians, held that the doctor
twas justified in refusing to oper-
ate and found that the child
would have been q cripple but
found no evidence that the child
would have been mentally de.
fective.
