The terrible night that was the more than city's history. wake many little three the liiist h en the scene of oth tragic deaths and buried treasure. Old residents of that part of the city recall that a great many years ago the then occupant, of the house had ended his life by shooting him self with :i shotgun, the suicide oc curring in the same room where the shooting of last Friday afternoon oc curred. This incident had been for gotten until the recent tragedy re vived the memories of the residents of that section of the city as to the suicide of the long ago. It is also stilted that when tl" former owner of the property, Mrs. Hill ia n moved to the place she was engaged in cleaning up the yard and on having a stump removed from the yard discovered some $SM buried in the tree stump and which had evi dently Iceti placed there years before its the tree stump was decaying with the ravages of time. This money was later placed in the First National bank and where the greater part was lost in the failure of the hank in The history of the home seems to be one of sorrow and disaster and what is left of the structure is now pretty well wrecked by the search after the $1.00(1 that the last owner of the house reported that he bad buried there.

Robbers Again at Union I'.urglars again visited the hustling city of I'nion last week and seem to think there is a crop of things to be had for the mere coming and getting t hem every few weeks. This time they visited the store of A. L. Hecker and (".ill Hull, the garage man. They did not get away with very much, but their continued breaking and en tering is very exasperating. The state department had some bloodhounds here to see if they could run down the thieves, but were not able. Someone who probably thought the dog of Mrs. Mabel K. Kevnolds might be in the way of another rob bery, shot ami killetl her dog, and have removed from the city a good dog and a friend of evervhodv in town. Krnm 'el tiesita v's Pally Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock the 12.000 bushel elevator at South Heud. owned by Cien Weaver was found tf be on fire and before tin' ravages of the flames could be creak ed the structure was completely des t roved. At the time t.f the lire a box car was heing loaded with wheat and all hut L'OO bushels of the carload had been placed in the cur when the blaze was discovered by the father of Mr. Weaver, the blaze being fust noticed 011 the voof of the elevator. The fire had evidently burned up through the siding of the elevator from the en gine room and when found had gain ed aich a headway that it was impos sible to check as there is no fire fight ing equipment at the town aside from the old time bucket brigade. It is thought that the tire was Caused from an exhaust of the gas engine used in the operation of the elevator, hut this has not as yet been defi.Mtelv fixed as the cause of tiie fire. The 1 11 load of grain standing on the track i;ar the elevator va? saved from destruction by the prompt ac tion of the driver of a telegraph line repair truck that was near the scene of the lire, the drivel of the huge truck hitching onto the ear and be ing able to move it sufficiently to get it in the clear of the fire.
