The buildings on the farm owned by
w. S. Redman but formerly known as
the John l.. Davis place caught fire
about $50 p. NJ, on Wednesday and
the dwelling house, shed and stable adj
joining and one barn were destroyed.
The large stable and the barn to the
west carried the sparks and embers
away from them. 1t is understood that
the fire originated in one of the front
rooms around the Fireplace and when
discovered that part of the house was
so filled with fire and smoke that it
was impossible to save the contents.
Mr.. Redman lost everything excepting
the clothes that he had on. There were
also several hundred bushels Of potatoes
in the cellar which were destroyed. The
total loss was about $4,000 and at this
writing it is not known whether there
was any insurance on the buildings or
not. Mr.. Redman is a young man who
has just started into farming opera
tions here and his property loss is a
serious matter to him.

ton threatening to effect some of the
fundamental questions of naval war

For that reason. it was not finally

dications remained that the latter
course ultimately would be followed
Officials are said to realize that their

come up as a precedent at some other
time during the war and even might
have bearing on the case of the AM

Frye case is on the eve of settlement,
virtually on terms for which the Uni

British officials go so far as to charge
that the Appam was brought to Hamp-

testing the soundness of Germanys or
iginal contention that the sinking of
prizes is a necessity incident to naval
warfare in it's present form. To offset
that contention, however. is the Ger

trail port They recognize that should
the United states turn her back to her
British owners that fact might be made
an argument for sinking captured mer-
chantmen.
One further important result which
threatens to confrent-the United States
should it be decided to recognize The
Hague convention instead of the Prus-
sian treaty is that Germany might con-
slider herself thus relieved from the
treaty obligations which the United
States is contending to enforce. Such
a development, it is feared. might
threaten the successful termination OF
the Frye case.
The situation was cleared of some OF
it's COMPLEXITIES today however. by the
