This morning about 9 o'clock fire discovered is

that than half million pounds of seed already
tracted for would be secured and ready for shipment in
few days to the East.
How the tire started is mystery. Whether 1t came
from spontaneous combustion the work OF hay
burners has not been determined The fire seemed to
start in the middle of the huge stack and the heat
intense that it impossible to get close enough to dis
cover any tracks about the place. Sheriff Applesti is
now on the ground making an investigation.
The value Of the big crop estimated at 600

innate by Mr.. Rath of Rath Marshall local represen-
tatves of the owners the German Seed Company The
local firm had interest in the big field and will also lose

The seed insured for $4,000 and letter regard

night but arrived too late to be effective In discussing
the fire. Mr. Rath said
I'VE cannot thus far determine what caused the fire.
The ranch foreman discovered it and notified the

may have been ncendiary may have been caused by
spontaneous combustion We have decided to at

London, Aug. 8.-Four Americans
were lost on the British steamer, Bel

submarine on July 81. Thirty-eight
of the crew were drowned and three
rescued by patrol boat
The survivors say the submarine
commander shelled the vessel and
ordered the crew to take to the boats
and come alongside the submarine.
The Germans then removed the life
belts and clothing from all but eight,
smashed the life boats with axes and
re-entered the submarine, leaving the
men the deck. After travelling sew
eral miles in this manner the U-boat
submerged and deliberately drowned
the helpless sailors.
