OLSON Brothers LIVERY
BARN BURNS TO GROUND
Hard Work of a Bucket Brigade and
CaImness Of Night Saved
Adjacent Buildings.

The livery barn of Olson Brothers
burned to the ground Sunday morn
ing with the loss of all the contents
of the building, including seven au
tomobiles and one horse.
The fire was discovered about
p. m. in the front part of the build
ing, and gained headway so rapidly
that it was impossible to save any
thing from the building. The escape
of adjacent buildings on the south
side of the barn was miraculous and
was probably due to the fact that
there was no wind and that the
night was nipping cold, making it
possible for the fire fighters to get
in between the buildings with buck.
cts of water.
For some reason the fire engine
would not start and things began tc
look serious, but finally after con-
siderable time had elapsed they got
it running and it was none too soon
as the back wall Of the Schoer
building began to smoke.
The bucket brigade did valiant
service and great credit should be
given the men who carried the water
to wet down the adjoining buildings
it was mainly through their splendid
work that these buildings were
saved.
The origin of the fire is not known

building which was used for gar

there at II o'clock in the evening

LADIES PLAY BILLIARDS FOR ~
RELIEF OF ARMENlANS
Police Chief SweIIs Fund By Arrest
ing Several violators of
The Law.

M1I I'LL duu laughter Was C1le OIueI
of the evening last night when
Messrs. Woods and Seglem surrend-
cred to. the ladies their spacious bill
lard hall to be used by them in a
billiard contest for which there was
an admittance charge of ten cents,
which money goes to apply on the
Armenian fund.
There we're five tables in use with
four ladies at each table and a Judge
Of play presiding at each table. Be-
fore the festivities commenced each
and every ones attention were called
to the list of penalties for which
fines were imposed.
The penaltise were, sitting on
table, fine S cents; but only two per-
sons were caught in this act. They
were the Misses Sjoberg and Rusch.
The second penalty was for chew
ing, fine 5 cents. Well, everybody
got clear on this score even the
great number of gents who were
present till luncheon was served and
then we regret to report everybody
broke this rule.
The third penalty was judges as
sisting, fine 25 cents. There were
five judges and three of the five had
to produce a quarter apiece.
The fourth penalty was smoking,
fine Is cents; on this charge two
gents who had adjourned to the
front door for quiet pull of the
weed were prevailed upon to look in
and were in the meshes of the law.
There was excitment in the game
when Mrs. Hussey made a wild shot
and f1ukes the Is ball. Mrs. Chas.
johnson makes a double header
Mrs Smith is little nervous, and
genial Jim Woods attempts to show
her, surprised, Jim pays two-bits.
Mrs. Geo. Mayhem tries to put the
16 ball in the pocket and S. Rich
ards goes to her assistance and i'm
mediately found a shilling which he
paid to policeman Berry.
Now there is a roar Of laughter,
Sheriff Lien who is Judge of play on
Table 5 has a cue and is showing the
girls how to use it and standing
over him is Berry The sheriff finds
his quarter.
By this time the ladies have got
the idea Of the game and now the
game is away in real earnest and ex-
citment is all the go. There were
four games played and it would be
hard to pick out any one of the lad
les as a player, for one and all
played exceptionally we'll, but the
final count showed that the Misses
Walser and Rusch were tied with
the Misses Sjoberg and Mccarthy
for first place, so that another game
had to be played with the result
Misses Sjoberg and Mccarthy landed
out as victors. Among the ladies
noticed playing were: Mrs. Chas.
Johnson. Mrs. B. Sterling, Mrs. Geo.
Mayhem, Mrs. Bayle, Mrs. Smith,
Mrs. Hussey, Mrs. John Johnson and
the Misses Mccarthy, Sjoberg, Mel
lie and Vivian Hussey, Ruth Ander-
son, Walser, Rusch, johnson, Drouil-
lard, Woods and Murphy and Mrs. G..
F. Lundquist.
The evening festivities came to an
end at 11:30 p. m. by the serving of
dainty lunch furnished by Messrs.
Woods and Seglem.
The proceeds Of the evenings en-
tertainment amounted to $1O.1O
which sum is applied on the county
allotment of the Relief Fund. Re-
grets were received from Mrs. Lien
and Mrs. F. Paine who were unable
to be pesent.

Hon. J. Burleson, Washington, D. c..

by the Schroeder people follows:
Hon. J. Burleson, Washington, D. C.
Dear sir:
We, the undersigned, herewith re-
spectfully submit a petition to the
postoffice department for regular
mail service in Cook County, Mime
sofa.
We are supposed to have daily
mail, but for the two last years
service has been very irregular, es-
pecially in winter, and this winter
worse than ever. During the last
two weeks only one load of mail has
arrived containing both first and
second class and only copies of our
daily papers have been brought in
during that period, making our out
lays for newspapers valueless, and
when the carrier does come along he
does not stop to pick up the mail
from the boxes put up along the
road for the convenience of the pub
| lie.
The service was better at the
time the mail was carried by horses
3 times week, before the roads
were improved at ALL And even mail
| one time a week by dog team, if it
is regular only, would be preferable
TO the present intolerable condition.
However, such a backsiding to
prehistoric times is hardly neces-
sary, for our newly built highroads
are excellent, kept in condition ev-
cry day by big trucks, army trucks,
other trucks. Fords are travelling
daily forth and back, carrying loads
and passengers and they all get
through brilliantly. Moreover the
weather for the last two weeks has
been ideal, still mail service never
was poorer. And we, the under
signed, herewith respectfully petit
ton, that the postoffice department
lind ways and means to provide Us
with regular mail service. We had it
before for a number of years, and
we believe, that if the concern that
gets the contract, puts in adequate
rolling material, we can again get
as good service as any other part of
the country, under the supposition,
that the contractor has a will to
perform his duty conscientiously,
md if he has not, the contract
hould be taken away from him, and
'iven to one who has.
On the other hand, if a contractor
annot be had for the price the gov
rnment is willing to pay, why could
1ot the government put in their own
rolling material and hire one driver
and one man to take care of the
mail, abolishing the small postoffices
along the road. Powerful, reliable

BETTER MAIL SERVICE
People of Schroeder Voice Their
Complaint to the Postal
Department.

The people Of Schroeder have sent
a petition to the postal department
asking for better mail service, which
is timely and we'll founded. Though
some of the statements made in the
petition may be rather strong, yet
there are ample grounds for COM

other communities along the route
to do likewise. The petition as sent
