STORK LEAVES BABY AS HOME
BURNS DOWN.

Within an hour after the stork
had left a baby girl at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman
Buckler, near the old Coulthard Mill,
in this county, the home caught
fire from an over-heated stove and
was burned to the ground. The fam-
lily lost all their possessions in the
home, upon which there was no in
surance.
The physician who had been call
ed to attend Mrs. Buckler, was st1H
in the, home. = He hastily wrapped
the mother and her child in blank
cts and carried them to the home OF
neighbor, where they were well
taken care of. The home destroyed
was one of the oldest in the county,
having been built of hewn logs over
1875 years ago.
