BARELY ESCAPE FLAM ES
Seven Members Of John Clemens Fam
lily, Near Waterloo, Nearly Lose
Lives in Burning Hone-Old Land
mark Destroyed.

Waterloo, March IA fire which
completely destroyed one Of the IA
nous landmarks of Black Hawk coun-
~ and which came very near resulting
in the loss of several lives, occurred al
avout l o'clock Monday morning when
the large farm house on the Charles H.
Davis farm. in Orange town ship. one
and one-quarter miles from the city
limits Of Waterloo. caught fire and
burned to the ground, together with
practically all its contents. The farm
Is better known as the A. E. Glenny
farm. It is the present property Of
Charles H. Davis, of this city, and the
house was occupied by John Clemens
and family. the latter consisting o.
Mrs Clemens, three children. and
brother and sister OF Mrs. Clemens.
The family was awakened ~ smoke
only 10 find the roof and walls blazing
nercey. Without time to dress the
family was forced to flee for their lives.
When they reached the lower hall, q
locked front door barred their way. IL
was Impossible to open it in time anG
it was necessary to break the door
down. AS the seven members OF the
family finally rushed out Of the burn
ing structure the roof fell in and sec
ond later the entire structure was
seething furnace, in which no one
could have lived a moment.
The burned building stood on what Is
known as the old Blue House road ard
was one OF the most beautiful country
homes in this section OF the state.
Large and stately evergreen trees grew
In front, but fortunately the wind blew
in such way that none OF these was
injured. Neither was any Of the large
barns Or other buildings Gil the farm
burned.
The building was originally one of
the pioneer farm buildings Of the
county, but had been greatly enlarged
many years ago. In 1885 Mr.. Glenny
rented the place and continue to live
on it for many years, purchasing it in
1892 It was IN this old country man
sion, that Mr.. and Mrs. Glenny were
married and here their two daughters
| were born. He sold the place to Mr.
Davis in 1907 for 1882 an acre, which
was at that time the highes: price ever
! paid for a Black Hawk county farm.
Beside being an imposing farm resi-
dence as viewed from the street, this
| large ten-room house was most sub
stantially built of native timber. The
inside was finished in hardwood, the
! dining room, hal! and stairway sc:ns
| finished in natural oak, comparing ir
this respect with any residence in Wa
terloo. A large chimney extended
PARKWAY downward into the dining
room and 1t is believed that the fir'
was occasioned from the fact that thii
chimney may have become defective
The blaze seems to have started from
the dining room altho 1t made it way
quickly to the roof.
The loss will probably reach sS.00t
or $4,000, including the furniture. MI

the republican state committee VINO
,y.ra in Des Moines yesterday to plan
for the state convention and other WORK
were unanimous in expression that the
situation in Iowa is politically brighter
for the republicans than il has been al
any time in the recent past ana 'ha''
from a republican standpoint there IS
every reason to anticipate a very large
vote for the party ticket this presiden-

With regard to the presidential SIT

on the delegations in the various parts
of the state and this ARRANGEMENT Is
generally satisfactory. In only TWO dis

Presidential Survey.
Much interest was shown in an al
legged survey of the presidential stu
alton in last Sundays Chicago Tribune,
the conclusion Of which was that the
republican national convention would
have a great majority of delegates un-
instructed and sincerely seeking the
best candidate regardless Of past dit
ferences of opinion. Coming from
corporation source Of this kind it was
regarded as significant. 1t was con-
coded, on analysis of the reports from
states. that Cummins will have the
largest bunch of instructed delegates
Of any candidate. but the reports from
states did not do full justice to the
force Of the Cummins movement
The absence OF excitement over the
congressional nominations was also
noted. and the general disposition to
the present delegation en-
tire.
