Fire Monday Morning

Frank Smalley's residence to
gether with part of the contents
was destroyed by fire about 4:S0
O'clock Monday morning. The
loss is about 81 800 with 5000 in
surance on the house and $3.50
on the contents.
The fire is thought to have
been caused by the explosion of
an oil stove on which Mr.. Smal-
ley had started to prepare break
fast, Mrs. Smalley being in Kan
sas on visit to her son, CIar
ence. and family. Mr.. Smalley
had lighted the stove and gone to
the barn to feed his horses, and
thus the tiae got a good start be
fore his return to the house. The
alarm was given and a volunteer
fire fighting brigade was soon on
the scene, Mrs. Jesse Brazeal at
the Mansfield Telephone Co. of
flee sending out the news over
the wire. A large part of the
household goods were saved but
it was impossible to save the
house The house was practical
ly new, Mr.. SmalIey having built
it on the Dunncgan place which
he purchased some time ago.
Mr.. Smalley, who is the rural
mail carrier on Route 3, was re
lieved from duty Monday by J.C.
Freeman. He and his wife have
the sympathy of our people in
their loss,

BIG RAIN AND HAIL
Many Thousands of Dollars
Worth of Damage Is
Done Friday

One of the hardest and most
destructive rain and hail storms
which has ever visited this com.
munity fell Friday afternoon, do.
ing thousands of dollars worth
|of damage to growing crops,
washing out fences and damaging
roads,
The water fell seemingly in
sheets, and fell with such rap.
idity that it rose to such heights
that many began to fear for their
household goods; in fact, some
damage was dcne in this respect
The culverts and bridges were
unable to withstand such a heavy
down pour and hence the damage
was greater than it would other
wise have been.
The K.C, o. & S. K. r. lost
some bridges, putting them out
of business until Monday, when
traffic was resumed.
The farmers were heavy losers
and the town gardens suffered,
some ground being badly flooded
