FIRE LOSS.

Tuesday noon, call came over the
telephone for help, and that the q.
W. Sager ranch home. nine miles
north of Elizabeth was a fire. Sever
al of the towns men who were off
duty at the time, went to the scene.
and did all they could by saving
goods from the blazing house, the
fire having gained such head way
that to extinguish it was beyond
questioning.
Most of the furniture. etc, was
saved from the down stair rooms.
The building was absolutely des-
troyed
The supposition is that the fire
was caused by defective flues. as
Mrs. Sager had just kindled the fire
for dinner, and shortly afterward
noticed the smoke fumes. On going
to the outdoors she observed the
flames on the roof around the chin
ney. And being alone, was help
less until she sounded the alarm to
Mr. Sager, who was working in a
field some disance from the house

AIiuht in CornfieId.


AIight in CornfieId.
While making what was to have
been his last flight before leaving
for Des Moines Thursday evening,
Lieut.. J. A. Gadbury's airplane. with
w. F. Innes as the passenger, crash
ed to the earth and turned over in
the Binford corn field, just west Of
the landing field. Neither the passen-
ger nor pilot was injured, and the
machine was not damaged material
ly.
The engine was not working prop
erIy when the craft left the ground,
one cylinder missing noticeably. The
machine was started over the field
toward the east but Ga not rise,
and was turned and sent back toward
the west. About midway down the
field Gadbury took the machine off
the ground, but 1T did not rise very
much and got no higher than the
tops of the trees. Turning toward
the south the plane settled, with the
tall running low, and, it is believed,
caught the high corn sufficiently to
tip the machine over. The noise OF
the fall was heard plainly by twenty
five or thirty people on the landing
field. who. with the setting sun as
background, could see the tail of
the machine fly up and turn over.
Fearing that the two men might
be pinned down beneath the machine
several men and boys ran thru the
corn field to where the machine lay,
three quarters of a mile away, to
find both men safe and the machine
not badly damaged. The propeller
was broken, also the END of one Of
