FIRE RECENTLY
AT SPRING GREEN

The dwelling house occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pelton one of
the buildings in the group co,npris-
ing the Hillside Home School plant,
near Spring Green was burned to the

it had made such progress that it was
impossible to determine it's origin.
The household goods on the first
floor were saved, but the family
lost all of their clothing excepting
that which they wore.
Mr. Pelton's loss is partially cover
ed by insurance.

perfumes, and continued extremely
cold until the 10th. Another cold wave
carried the temperature to zero on the
last day of the month. Altogether
the temperature fell to zero or below
on Is days, and rose above the freez-

average temperature, 126 degrees is
lower than that of all but three De-
cembers, those of 1872, 1876, and 1886.
December 1872 averaged only three
degrees colder. Lake Monona froze
completely over on the Sd, Mendoza

fact upsets the regularity. Until the
