1t is SURPRISING how many unpat-
riotic citizens there are who will

of dollars are lost each year by the
city through such slackers. At pres
ent the authorities have in hand a
large number Of unpaid water tax
bills for the fiscal year. It has been
decided to cut off the water at these
homes without fear and the work of
doing so will be accomplished as
as each tax evading home

HOLSTEIN CATTLE SALE
PROVES REAL SUCCESS.

The Dickinson county men who at
tended the Holstein-Friesian Associa-
ton meeting at Topeka also remained
for the sale which occurred yester-
day. Eighty-two head of Holsteins
were sold at the Topeka fair grounds
for an average price OF $326.76.
About 200 breeders of Holsteins and
others interested in these cattle were
present. No extraordinarily high or
low bids featured, but fair, satisfac-
tory prices were obtained for practi-
cally every animal. The top price
was 1910, which Edward Fitzgerald,
of jamestown, gave for the year-old
bull, North Star Champion Lad,
owned by j. T. Axtell, of Newton A.
B. Wilcox of Abilene, vice president
of the association, was a high bidder.

SPARKS FROM CIGARETTES
CAUSED BARN TO BURN.

Fire destroyed the barn at the j.
w. Dawson property on South Cedar
street at 4:30 o'clock last evening.
The alarm was not turned into the
fire department until the barn was
almost burned and the building was
burned to the ground. No animals
other than two pigs we're in the barn
and they escaped the flames. 1t is
believed some small boys started the
fire when they went behind the barn
to smoke cigarettes. The loss will
not amount to more than 500.
Despite the fact that the fire whis-
tie was not blown large crowd gath
cred at the Dawson place and many
succeeded in getting in the way of
the firemen. 1t may be necessary to
rope off a space around the fires if
the crowd doesn't keep back.

WOMAN FATALLY BURNED
Died At Home In Heringson After
Being Burned.

About ten o'clock Wednesday
morning Mrs. Herman Treble aged
so and feeble, took cloth and brush
ed away particles OF coal which fell
ON top OF the stove at her home in
Harrington. In a moment she was
conscious that her clothing was afire.
In her feeble condition she fought the
flames as valiantly as she could but
her clothing was practically burned
from her body when her husband.
four years older, came in from the
back yard and carried her out on the
porch where he put out the last of
the blaze with water.
The woman was horribly burned
about the face, head, arms and lower
limbes. Strangs as II may seem, she
suffered no pain from the burns and
calmly told her husband and neigh
bors how the accident occurred. Her
husband, on the other hand. whose
fingers we're burned while he was
putting out the fire suffered intense
Iy. About two o'clock in the after
noon she passed away.
