Bad Fire at Weldon.

Thursday morning about II
o'clock word was phoned to Leon
that the whole west, side of Weldon
was burning up, and asking for as
siotance and an auto loaded with
Leon fire boys started quickly to as
sist them. The fire started In the
big general store of Claude Snider
on the west side of the street, The
gale from the northwest famed the
flames furiously and it was seen the
building was doomed, SO efforts were
made to carry out the stock and
fixtures, and q. good part of them
were saved, and we understand Mr..
Snider had plenty of insurance to
cover his loss. The building was
owned by f., "A. Lockwood, being
valued at $500, with $4,000 insur-
ance. The Office building just south
OF the Snider store occupied as q
real estate ONCE by Lockwood &
Ashby, was burned with loss OF
$3.50, and insurance OF 1850. The
citizens of Weldon, assisted by. the
Leon fire fighters made a valiant
fight and stopped the fire just before
Il reached the Carlan restaurant,
and had it burned, the whole west
side would have gone. Everybody
on that side of the street removed
their goods from the buildings, ex-
pecting them to burn. Mr.. Snider
has removed his stock to the Mason
ic building and will soon be ready
for business again.

John Hayden Missing.

Does any one know of the where
abouts of John Hayden, a farmer.
whose home is about two miles south
east of Ravanna? The last seen of
him by his family we are told, was
on the last Sunday in November, on
which date he disappeared, from his
residence, after spending the day
pleasantly with his family and some
neighbors who called in the after
noon for a friendly visit at his home.
He was in apparently good health
and spirits when last seen and his
family can give no reason for his
disappearance and are
greatly worried because Of it. He
formerly lived about nine miles
northwest of Lineville, Iowa, but has
been living in Ravanna and on his
farm southeast of Ravanna, for
about three years. Some parties
have reported that short time after
he left home he was seen at his old
farm in Iowa, and said that he form
erly owned the place and Just. wanted
to "loOk around" He acted rather
strangely, but not enough to- excite
the curiosity of the people at the
time. II any one has seen or heard
from him since his disappearance,
they would confer q great favor by
notifying his famff which cQusiafe
and whose address Is Ravanna, MOI
Princeton Post.
