It took hard work to aavo. the bank

over the roof and covered with salt,

was, saved. Cinders wore carried
against Hank Barker's and Mrs. Ber
ger'a barns and the roof and hay
caught fire several Minos, bnt the blazes
were extinguished.
Good work was done in saving the
goods from the store rooms of Gilbert
& McCandless They carried a large
stock of goodsj and it Is thought from
onesthird to one-half of the stock was
saved, but much of this was in a dam
aged condition, especially the dry goods
and shoes. In many case only one
shoe out of the pair was saved. They
had received a car load of (lour about
a week before, and bad considerable on
hand, and lost about a third of this, all
of the higher priced flour.
Nothing was saved of the drug stock.

Last Sunday R. E. Buchnr discover
ed that two freight cars had been broks
en into and goods taken put of boxes
which had been broken open. A sack
containing a butt of tobacco and sever
al boxoB of cigars was lying in one of
tbo cars. Some caudy and cookies bad
boon taken, but apparently nothing else
bad been disturbed. Two boxes of
cigars had been carried off, and were
not found, Tho burglary was evident
ly the work of boys who wantod to lay
in a supply of tobacco. There Is pretty
strong ovidence as to ono er two boys
doing the work. They wero evidently
frightened away before completing
their work or carrying away the goods.
This is tho second tlmo cars have been
broken into horo in tho last few weeks,
It is thought probablo the guilty purta
ioa will bo discovered and punished.
