FAMILY OF EIGHT
ENDANGERED BY FIRE

Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Wilson and six
small children were rendered practi,
cally destitute this morning at 1880
when fire consumed the house in
which they have been living on the
Charles Serrell wheat ranch three
miles east of town. Wilson is en-
ployed at the Mytinger dairy. nearby.
One of the small children. the old
est is but 10. discovered the roof
ablaze this morning and ran into the
house to tell Mrs Wilson. The fire
was burning with such headway that
the family had little moro than enough
time to escape safely. much less hope
to save any OF their household goods
or clothing. The alarm was sounded
too late to save anything of value
and the dwelling as well as contents.
We're destroyed without insurance.
A defective flue is given as the
cause of the fire. The extra speed
with which the early morning fire in
the stove was burning is given as the
reason for the trouble.
The Wilson's have, been residing in
the Serrell ranch house, which was a
five room frame dwelling. for the past
three months. Mr.. Serrell has a crop
of wheat on the place which he is |
farming, but lives in town. Mr.. Will |
son is working at the Mytnger dairy |
nearby.
The fire took nearly everything the |
Wilson's possessed hut they consider
themselves fortunate to have escaped |
safely with their six children. who
range from 10 years to three months
in age. They are being cared for by
friends.

NOT PRESS CHARGE

Belief that the father will relent
and drop the prosecution of his un-
welcome son-in-iaw, John c. Zoller
| is held here in the case of Frank
lThurston, North Fork rancher, whose
young daughter, Katy, ten days ago
leloped and was married To Zoller. The
case now rests in the hands of the
September grand jury but IL Thurs
ton decides to drop the case, the
grand jury viii have nothing to do but
acede to his wishes.
Just what objection Thurston had
to the marriage, other than the dis
crepancy in age of the couple, Is not
known here. The girl, he claimed. is
not Yet Is years old and Zoller is said
to be nearly 40, although he gave his
age as 35 on the marriage license.
The forged permission from Thurston
is said TO have been written by the
girl, who is well satisfied in her new
home.
Zoller is a sober and industrious
man, his aequaintances say. being en-
ployed as n section foreman for the
railroad at Duncan. He is said to be
his young bride happy in their
little home and as long as she is sat
isfied, her father is not holding out
strenuous objections.
The whole affair has been tinged
with considerable romance OF the from
tier variety, charges and counter
charges. gun play and elopement hav-
ing figured conspicuously. The case
opened on Saturday, May 81, when
ZoIler. accompanied by James Snyder

ing the girl had her fathers permis-
sion TO marry and obtained license
from Deputy County Clerk James b.
Welch. That evening. under the trees
