ROBBERS STARTED FIRE
Mrs. Purdie 81 Herington Screamed
and Frightencd Them Away


About 1 o'clock Sunday morning
Mrs. w. A. Purdie was awakened by
a noise as II some one was starting
the truck in the garage. Mr.. Purdie
had been called out of town by the
illness of his sister and Mrs. Purdie
had been confined to her bed with Ill
ness for some time. She managed,
however, to raise up and look out the
window, only to see the coal house
ablaze. She screamed repeatedly to
the neighbors for help and turned IN
the fire alarm. The coal house and
chicken house were soon reduced to
ashes and the garage caught fire. The
Purdie boys, Russell and Buford
pulled the truck out and found the en-
CINE still running and hot. Mrs.
Purdie says she thinks the parties,
who were trying to make way with
the truck, went In the coal house to
get more gas and dropped match on
the floor. As soon as they heard her
8 .ream, they shut the car down ana
m de their get-away.-Herington

HAVE 1900 REGISTERED
Estimate of the City Election vote
il 1.SOO to 1000

The registration for the city cleo
ton closed last night with 1900 reg
istered. City Clerk Rexroat said the
figure is approximate but that few
changes have taken place since the
primary, being mostly reregisters be-
cause of moving from one ward to
another. 1t is estimated that about
1.5OO to $1,000 votes will be cast at
the city election. At the primary l.
1913 were cast.
The campaign is not very excit-
ing, it being generally admitted that
Mayor Nichols will be reelected by a
handsome majority as the result Of
the excellent business administration
he has given and the interest he has
always taken in the city and its ad-
yancement.
