this fall campaign composed Of the

Cregao, Ole 7. Axvig, Ole J. Gjevre.
Norris Nelson, Russell, Balfour, anG
August Moritz. 1t is understood that
there was harmony at the meeting tc
such and overwhelming extent as to
be almost painful at times. The at

to be stated that the representation
was general from all over the county.
Several speakers are to be routed for

FIVE HEAD OF HORSES
AND BARN IN FIRE LOSS
Joseph Lorenz a Nekoma Farmer is
Among Many to Suffer Heavy
Fire Loss This Fall

Joseph Lorenz, whose farm is i
mile east and two miles north of Ne
koma, was the loser of his barn and
five head of farm work horses in a
fire of Tuesday evening las. week.
The loss is one that means matter
Of several thousands Of dollars to Mr..
Lorenz, although it is to some extent
covered by insurance
The fire was first noted oy near
neighbors Of the Lorenz and the
people of Nekoma, at about six
O'Clock in the evening. Mr.. Lorenz
and the members Of his family had
been away all day At the farm OF his
brother, William Lorenz, where
threshing had been il. progress during
the day. Three horses were saved
from the burning building, and by
the efforts of those who fought the
ire, the home and two other large
buildings, used for the housing of
the hogs and for the poultry, were
saved.
The loss in the barn in addition to
the five horses, included thirty-fve
tons of hay and five hundred bushels
of oats. Luckily on the day of the
fire Mr.. Lorenz had several teams at
the farm of his brother to assist in
the threshing, or he would have been
much heavier loser. There is no
cause assigned That could possibly ac-
count for the fire

HORSES KILLED BY LIGHTNING

1t is learned that at the farm of
John Wijhe)mi, in the vicinity of
Nekoma, the loss of three horses was
the result of the barn being struck by
lightning in the storm that passed
over here on Sunday night, or during
the early hours of Monday morning.
The fact that the barn was not injur-
ed to any noticeable extent, just the
dead horses on the inside, makes the
incident one quite unusual and show
ing the freaks that sometimes are the
result of an electrical storm.
