SWEET

! Sweet Sunday afternoon, resulted in
! score of 8 to in favor of our local
/ team. They brought back our lost
faith in them after the game at En-
NETT on Decoration day, where they
suffered an inglorious defeat How
ever, we cannot expect too much of
our boys, considering the small
amount of practice they get. In fact,
we are proud of them and feel that if
they had one-hah the practice the op-
posing teams have they would cover
themselves with honor and glory.

The dwelling house at the HOT

Sunday forenoon, the origin of the
fire being unknown but thot to have
originated from a defective flue.
There was no one at the house, the
occupants all being down at the Nat
atorium at the time THE fire was dis
covered, and before any one could
reach the house the roof had fallen
il. and nothing was saved Severa l
hundred dollars worth of jewelry, be-
sides all their clothing, furniture, val
liable papers, ETC., were gone. Mrs
Stone had also just purchased IL fine
new hair mattresses, several bolts OF
sheeting and pillow tubing, blankets,
etc. to furnish the rooms
for the new hotel and they also were
all burned. There was q small insur-
ance but not nearly enough to cover
the loss. Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd Peter
son who also were living there, lost
all their furniture, clothing and jewell
nv, etc. also. Mrs. Peterson's most
valuable possession was her diamond

wore. We are indeed sorry for both
families as this was terrible loss.
