FIRE DESTROYS
GALUSHA HOME

The home Of Gerry Galusha on
Town House hill was destroyed by
fire Sunday about noon. The family
went to call on his parents on the
adjoining farm and when they re-
turned found the upper part Of the
house in flames. Help quickly came
and by tearing down the connecting
shed they were able to save the barn.
Some of the furniture in the lower
part of the house was also saved.
The loss is estimated at some over
$1,000 with insurance on house and
furniture for half that amount. The
fire is supposed to have been caused
by an overheated defective chimney.
Much sympathy is felt for Mr.. and
Mrs. Galusha who are young people
who have taken much pains to repair
and improve their property.

Smallest Precinct in
u. S. Has Four Voters

st. Louisa voting precinct in st.
Louis County, with four perennial resi-
dents, is believed to have the smallest
population of known qualified voters of
any precinct in the United States.
The precinct is at Washington Uni
versity, just west of st. Louis City,
and the four residents are wondering
how they can distribute themselves at
elections to provide the necessary six
precinct officials.
The quartet, however, takes comfort
in the fact that some members Of the
faculty stay at the dormitories when
the university is in session, and some
of these may be qualified voters in
st. Louis County.
Those who reside at the university
throughout the year are Jack Reichert,
a janitor, and his wife, and Morris
Boorstin, superintendent of buildings
and grounds, and Mrs. Boorstin. For
merly they voted at the county court
house at Clayton, but at the last ses-
separate precinct. The unique precinct
passed providing for board of cleo
ton commissioners in st. Louis Coun-
ty. This law necessitated a redistrict-
ing of precincts, as it forbids the adj
joining of municipal and rural; or I'M
attached, territory in precinct.
As Washington University is not in
municipality, but is surrounded by
municipalities, it was necessary to
make the grounds of the institution a
will be in operation for the first time
Sept. 1920, when registration will be
held in st. Louis County.
