Goa Chamberlain Injured.
While attempting to make a pilot
bar coupling Friday night Gus
Chamberlain received a very painful
ilcsh wound in his left leg just
above the ankle. Gus was breaking
on the first section of train No. 19.
The engine which was pulling the
train wasn't steaming very well
and it was necessary to couple on
another engine. While Gus was
attempting to make the coupling
the pilot bar slipped and his leg
was pinched between the bar and
pilot in such a manner that quite a
large piece of flesh was cut out. He
was also pretty severely bruised.
He was brought home and his
wounds were dressed. He in mak
ing very fair progress.
Barn Burned.
Sunday afternoon the large barn
on the rear of the Cunningham
property in the First ward was
almost totally destroyed by ,fire.
The fire was not discovered until
it had gained considerable head
way and by the time the alarm was
turned in and the hose companies
and hook and ladder company
reach the barn the whole interior
was ablaze. The department
worked hard and succeeded in
getting the fire under control but
not until the building was so badly
burned and charred that it is
practically worthless. Fortunately
there were no horses in the barn
at the time it caught fire but there
waB about a hundred sacks ot feed
stored in it and some household
goods which were soaked with
water and are very much damaged.
The barn was insured but there
will be about $100 Iobb on the con
tents. It is not known definitely
how the fire started but as there
is a window oyer one of the mows
and the lire evidently started there
it is thought that Borne passerby
must have dropped a match in the
window.

HARRINGTON & TOBIN.
The bright and witty satire in
Hoyt'B "A Milk White Flag" is
directed toward the National
Guard. But it is done in snch a
manner that not the least offense
can be taken or was any ever in
tended. The comedy which is one
of Hoyt'a happiest efforts has for
the past few seasons crowded the
theatres everywhere. Its popu
larity seems to increase instead of
diminish, But this is no doubt
due to the management kcepiug
the company presenting it strictly
up to the standard of original cast.
The author has also seen fit to
revise it to meet changed conditions
of the day and to introduce new
musical numbers and a change of
specialties. The company is a
large otic numbering nearly fifty
people. Its superb scenic embell
ishments and showy costuming
presents a charming view to the
eye while the musical numbers de
light the car with melody. This
is by far the most pretentious pro
duction scut out by the ambitious
author, who judges so accurately L
wn.it me puouc ciestre in uie
amusement line.
