Mrs. II. F.. Rimmel Surprised.

D.
A very pleasant surprise party was
rendered Mrs. II. f. Rlmmel on Tues
day, January 23rd. Her friends took
this means of saying goodbye, as she
is leaving for Los Angeles, Califor-
MIA Wednesday.
She was taken most completely by
surprise as the guests invaded her
home during the hour Of her after
noon beauty sleep, from which she was
noisily awakened.
Baskets Of good things to eat were
brought by the guests and wholly
enjoyable afternoon was spent.
Mr.. w. w. Fee was awakened at
one o'clock Wednesday morning by
the barking of his dog and a COM
motion under the house. He went out
to investigate and saw large coy
ote under his house. He called to Mr..
II. Smith to bring the gun with which
he shot the animal. 1t Is supposed
that the coyote was hungry and was
after the cats for square meal.
(Our advice to Mr.. Fee is to kill the
dog that was in the mixup with the
coyote, as it was in all probability af-
fected with rabies.-Ed. Record.)

Fire Again Claims Toll

Another disastrous and un-
accountable fire swept our town
Saturday leaving big gap in the
heart Of The city.
The Faii'pIay Hotel, belonging
to W. p Minckler but occupied
for the past year and a half by
W. p. Dunlap, caught fire from
within and all the upper story
burned to a shell and the flames
burst thru the roof before the
fire was discovered. The house
hold effects on the lower floor
were saved in part.
The Wood cottage in the same
block, but unoccupied at this
time, was also destroyed as was
the old Dr.. G. w. Varnado resi-
dence on the opposite side of
the street, and the law offices of
NJ. I. Varnado and a fruit stand
owned and operated by VIM.
Magee. were damaged by the
fire.
The older settlers of the town
felt a strong sentimental at
tachment to both the Minckler
and Varnado property, as they
were the two oldest buildings in
the town. The Fairplay Hotel
was known as the Squire Wads-
worth property and was built
in 1881, of heavy pine logs NOR
ticed together .and later ceiled
over on both sides. Some ten
years ago it was modernized and
still further improved.
The Varnado residence was
erected in 1870 and except for
about four iyears of this time
has been occupied by some mem
Der of the Varnado family, the
late Dr.. Varnado's grand daugh-
ter occupying it at the time of
the burn. ~.
