And the great heritage of time.

BIG BARN DES-
IR0YED o Z ED BY FIRE
ANDREW sAUER LOSES ONE OF
HIS BARNS, AND 60 TONS
$ OF FEED FRIDAY

Andrew Sauer, prominent farmer
living north Of town had the misfor.
tune to have one of his big barns
destroyed by fire at O'Clock Friday
morning of last week. The flames
started in the hay NOW and before
it was discovered had gained such
headway that it was impossible to
check it or even save much from the
barn. Three threshers were sleeping
in it that night and the fellows had
just enough time to escape with their
lives. Some even without all their
clothing. John Rockney had two hors-
es in the barn which were burned to
death and Mr.. Sauer lost two thor
oughbred calves. Roy Parks and
John Olson, also had teams in the
barn, but these animals were gotten
out The wind was In the right direcr
tion to blow the flames onto hay
stack back of the barn. In the stack
were about As tons of millet, while in
the barn there were Is tons of hay.
Mr.. Sauer lost all the feed. The other
barns and milk house were saved by
the men throwing water on them, thus
the fire was confined to just the one
barn and the stack. Mr.. Sauer does
not know how the fire started and
can. give no explanation. The men
who were sleeping in the barn stated
that. the first they knew about it was
when they were enveloped in flames
and smoke. Mr.. Sauer carried some
insurance to cover the loss. .l- -,

Hunt Gypsiies
In In Three States

Jake Notion, of Garrison, the father
Of the small 4 year old boy who was
lost in the brush along the Missouri
River last June, and who was never
found, received word the first Of last
week from a man at Hiel, N. D., stat
ing that a band of"gypsies had passed
there and with them was small
boy that answered the description Of
the little Notion boy. : = y
+; Mr.. Notion lost no time in finding
Sheriff Stefferud and the search for
the band of gypsies was, started. The
men travelled through South Dakota
stopping at several Of the. larger
towns in the northeastern part Of the
state. Tut they were always aoYut
six days behind the wandering band.
At last they crossed the line into
Minnesota. where the trail became
fresh and the reports were that the
gypsies had passed through just two
days before. Just at the outskirts of
st. Cloud the Sheriff came upon the
band as they were making camp for
the night. Mr.. Notion at once asked
about his boy and the leaders told him
they did not have him. There were
a couple of light headed boys that
answered the description of the Not
ton boy, but ssh.ey were not Mr.. Not
tons son. The man who had sent
the word had jumped at conclusions,
thinking perhaps that one Of the chill
dren In the band might have been the
Notion child. It proved great dis
appointment. to Mr.. Notion. as the
hopes Of finding his, son had been
cherished throughout the entire trip.
The men returned here. the latter
