Narvc Trotter of Broken Dow Accused
of Criminal Carelessness.
A warrant was sworn out Fri
day for Narve Trotter , charging
him with criminal carelessness in
setting fire to the Buckeye ranch
and neighboring properties a
week ago last Sunday while the
wind was blowing at a forty-mile
clip. About 3,000 acres of fine
pisture land and a number of
f nee posts were destroyed , the
1 iss being estimated at $1,500.
When taken before County Judge
Holcomb , Trotter explained his
conduct by saying that he want
ed to burn a lot of rubbish on his
place near the Buckeye , and
thought Sunday the best time to
do it. Fare guards were not
thought necessary and he failed
to take the wind into considera
tion. He also failed to give due
notice to the surrounding proper
ty owners that he intended start
ing a fire , The accused asked
for time to prepare his case and
Judge Holcomb extended . tbe
hearing to May 12 , placing the
defendant under $200 bonds.
Oratorio Hearing.
"If one has the rare good for
tune to listen to the grandest of
.ill forms of vocal and instrument
al music , the Oratorio , the honor
is great and the prepantioni
should be thorough. First turn
to-Holy Writ , and read again
the story which is now to be told
by song and accompaniment.
"If it is Haydns Creation" ,
read the book of Genesis , or Mil
ton. It is impossible for even
trained musicians to really under
stand the works of great masters
on first hearing ; how much , less ,
then , can one who is not a
musical student understand them ,
without making the slightest
effort to do so ?
"Vanity and ignorance are
fully displayed when persons avow -
vow their dislike of music , of
which they know nothing :
knowledge is necessary to just
criticism , , ( Pease. )
