Largo Barn Burned.
At about G.30 : p. m. , yesterday
the large barn on Allen Heyner's
place , 2 miles south of this diy ,
was totally destroyed by fire ,
together with three calves , one
sow , two sets of harness and a
saddle.
The cause of the fire was the
same as when Chicago was nearly
destroyed. A lighted lantern
was left near a cow and in some
manner overturned and set fire
to the straw.
In addition to the stock burned
there were twclve head of horses
and ten cows in the barn when
the fire was discovered but they
were rescued. Ben Tvson , employed -
ployed on the farm , c t a gash
one and a half inch deep in his
left arm while enJaged in cutting
halter straps with which the
horses were tied.
The building was large enough
and arranged to accomodate 20
horses and 18 head of cattle.
There was no insurance.
Sale Dale Cancelled.
Joseph A. Mattox had bills
printed intending to hold a public
sale of siock and farm implements
on the 20th , but has now decided
not to do so and desires the
REPUDUCAN to ad vise its readers
of his later decision so they w111
not be decived should they see
one of the safe notic s.
Marriaic Li en.e. .
From Nov. , 2Hth until Dec. ,
7th , no licenses . were issu d , then
one on the 8th. which indicates
that Custer county 'lovers do not
seem to have reached the point
of seriousness as quickly as some
of th ir acquaintances think they
should. ' ! 'he holidays ought to
produce a briskness in this line ,
