BUSINESS FIRMS RAVAGED

Fire of unknown origin swept away
another Cou,ee City landmark carly

in about 1906, was totally destroyed.

ALI Of tie furnishings, OF the shoe
shop and the personal belongings Of
Mr.. Chambers were carried out OF the
burning building before the flames
reached that portion.
Henry Cook. night employee of the
Tavern, discovered the fire and turned
in the alarm at about 500 a. M, but
the conflagration, which started at the
rear Of the building, rapidly gained
Roadway and about all the fire de-
partment could do was to hold the
blaze to the two doomed structures.
No accurate estimate of the loss
was available late today, but 1t will
Iprobably reach the $4,000 mark.
Frank Abbott, manager of the grocery
store, estimated his loss at around
$4,000, which was partially covered by
insurance.
Other losers in the fire carried some
insurance, tkeugh II was reported the
actual buildings were not insured.

A PERSONAL TRIBUTE

Words fail to express our deep
sense of loss in the death of Dr. N.
r. Gregg, oun neighbor and friend. To
his family goes our deepest sympathy.
They will be able to derive comfort,
we feel certain, in the knowledge that
their loved one performed his duty
as citizen and physician in man
ner which would be outstanding any
where, and had the respect and es-
teen Of all who knew him.
In, this town, far from the large,
Eeities, DR.. Gregg devoted untiringly
most of his life to the caring for the
sick. Though he was often called upon
to administer to their needs at any
hour, day or night. his cheerful per
sonality always was evident.
Without a doubt, the passing of
DR.. Gregg is personal loss to every
resident of this vicinity. The example
set forth by him will be an inspira.
ton to guide his many friends.

now to be revealed as common
place.
"You, too, have discovered the
murderer I asked; not, I must
own, taking the little cleric very
seriously, but willing enough to
be diverted by his account.
"I have discovered the muir
derer," he replied, "by a rope, a
phrase, and by the way in which
man killed flies. It is very sim
pie, but it has the terror and the
power and the immensely of all
simple things"
He paused for a moment, as
though wondering whether he
should tell us. Then he went on.
There was a woman murdered in
locked room, from which the
only escape was by the window,
and the only manner of exit from
the window was by rope. So
without beginning to talk in that
superstitious way of unnatural
happenings, it was necessary to
discover how that rope had been
used. It could have been neither
climbed nor used for descent, so
we came to Lord Simon's explana-
tiOn-that rope may swing, and
a man may swing omit. But what
think Lord Simon failed to see,
was that when a rope can swing
from left to right, another may
swing from right to left.
I'm Mrs. Thurston's room there
were two windows, one which was
made to open, and one, con-
structed without frame or hinges,
which would not open. And both
had stone lodges at least foot
wide. And you were all observant
of the window which opened. But
what about the window which did
not open? It could have let in
lovely things, fresh air, and moon
beams, the scent of flowers, and
truth. For the truth of this mat
| ter was behind the window which
did not open, waiting to be ad-
| mitted.
ITO escape from the room a
man had to swing on rope. But
he did not swing to the right to
the window of Strickland's room,
but to the left, to the unopening
window, for the rope to which he
chung was let down not from Eel
loves room but from the box
room. And there he stood on that
ledge, gripping the stonework
above him, while you were search
ing the room. He could not
watch you clearly, for the window
is Of stained glass, but he could
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-03-05

! see when you had gone. And then
he returned. For another rope
was hung from the window Of the
apple room, on which he could
swing back to the window which
did open. It was simple to dis
cover this. One only had to re-
member that no pendulum goes
only one way, that an action has
it's reaction, that black, in fact, is
opposed to white.
"But who had done it? Who.
ever had swung on the ropes had
had an accomplice who hung
them. Or should one say that
whoever had hung the ropes had
had an accomplice who swung on
them? At all events the1S were
two people concerned.
"And while we sat at lunch on
Friday a spider appeared on the
table. The butler came into the
room and picked it up carefully
in his fingers. I was watching,
and I thought that the man who
shrank from killing an insect
would probably hesitate to kill an
employer. But suddenly I saw a
very horrible thing. The butler
had not shrunk from killing the
spider because he loved spiders,
but because he hated flies. He
took the creature and carefully
set it on the window-ledge where
several sleepy flies were crawling.
And he turned away regretfully,
as though he wanted to wait and
watch the results. It was appal-
ling, but like many appalling
things it showed the truth. The
man who had set spider to kill
a fly had set a man to kill
woman.
"But what man? It had been
a weak man who was persuaded
into it, guilty man who was
blackmailed into it, or a devil to
whom it had to be no more than
suggested. It could have been no
one who came to the door of the
room or was present at the search.
And that afternoon set off for
the village church. At first I
thought that should have to look
elsewhere, for Mr.. Rider was
neither a weak, nor guilty, nor
a bad man. But when he showed
me a fine piscina in the chancel of
his church and referred to it as a
washbasin, perceived the terrify-
ing truth. He was not himself
devil, he was possessed of devils,
he was insane. And this mad
man was the instrument which the
real murderer had chosen.
