FIRE DAMAGED GARAGE
Some Property of Philip ThiIgen Was
Partially Destroyed.

Fire last evening partly destroyed
the garage, damaged the automobile
and smoked the dwelling of Philip
Thilgen, at Fourth and Mulberry
streets. It was about eight o'clock in
the evening when Mr.. Thilgen's nine
year-old son Henry played with the
gasoline tank in the garage. He start
ed the liquid, letting it pour upon a
pussy willow, his idea being to make
a torch. He threw the lighted match
on the floor after lighting the pussy
willow and the flame caught the lit
tie stream of gasoline that ran on the
floor. Happily the lad was not hurt
The garage quickly burst into flames
and neighbor gave the alarm. The
firemen were soon on the scene and
put the fire out. Strange to say, the
gasoline in the tank was not all con-
sumed. Neither the garage nor the
car was damaged beyond repair.

WHEAT CROP is EXCELLENT
Farmers Are Very Optimistic And
+ Pleased With the Prospect.

Farmers in today to attend the
meeting of the county exemption
board report the wheat crop first
class. Spring wheat is turning out
beyond the best anticipations, and
winter wheat is also a good crop,
although not as heavy a crop as
spring wheat. 1t is thought that
many people who plowed up their
winter wheat crop last spring made
mistake. Fields that were left,
although very spotted, filled out later
to "a large extent. Where marquis
wheat was sowed with the winter
wheat, to fill in the places where it
was frozen out. it has ripeed at the
same time with the winter wheat
and is about the same quality, so
can be milled together.
