TWENTY FIRST YEAR
A Small Sunday Fire
A defective flue caused a fire in the
Bowen restaurnnt Sunday afternoon
about five oclock The fire department
was quickly at the fire and as there was
practically no wind going soon had the
flames under control The fire was for
the most part confined to the kitchen
part of the building and between the
ceiling and roof of the main building
The damage to the building was esti
mated at 150 which was fully covered
by insurance Pat Walsh owns the
building which was promptly repaired
rfirst of the week and Mr Bowen re
sumed business with but three or four
days loss of time Mr Bowens loss on
stock furniture fixtures etc will not
exceed 250 He carried a thousand
dollars insurance nnd consequently his
loss and damage were entirely covered
The absence of any wind was a happy
circumstanco and doubtless saved the
building from destruction
Monday noon a gasoline stove in the
candy kitchen caused an alarm to be
-sounded The fire was caused by the
wind blowing out one of the burners
nnd allowing the gasoline to escape
Fire from the other lighted burner final
ly communicated with the leaking gaso
line causing quite a blaze for a minute
or two The fire was easily extinguished
however without the aid of the depart
ment and the loss was nil
The Evening- Was a Joyous One
Miss Lillian Burnett gave a lawn party
Wednesday evening of happiest fea
tures in honor of Miss Daisy Maddux of
Catherine which was enjoyed by a large
company of young friends The lawn
was brightly illuminated and decorated
with Chinese lanterns headlights otc
for the occasion The west porch was
lined with white and draped with lace
curtains and in this cosy bower Anna
Burnett and Mabel Tobin served punch
The east porch was also attractively
prepared for the purpose and here the
refreshments of the evening were served
Mrs L R Hileman and Myra Conner
presiding Rose Elbert served iced tea
and Marguerites
Duplicate artificial leaves were utilized
in securing partners for refreshments
Benard and Josephine Phelan of Alli
ance Clarence Dolan Merle Powell and
Flora Hoag of Indianola were out-of-town
guests
Arnold Bunger Wedding
Saturday morning last Eobert Arnold
and Fannie Bungor both of our jity

this ceremony Mabel Mokko and John

parties in the marriage ceremony After
the wedding the happy couple their
relatives and friends repaired to the
Bunger residence in West McCook and
the rest of the day and following night

ing a dance at night being a feature of
