Two Fire Alarms Tuesday Morning-
McCook was disturbed by two lire
alarms Tuesday morning Fortunately
neither fire amounted to much
The first was tutnpd in from the resi
dence of Dr A T Gatewoud and was
cuseri by the explosion of the water
back iu the range The water had
and consequently the water back
was in the same condition Fire was
bull in the range and a heavy presure
of steam was thus caused resulung iu a
terrific explosion wrecking the stoe
and cluing some damage to the kitchen
Fortunately the young bon escaped with
slight injury
The becond alarm came from the resi
dence of J Braubcom on 3rd street
east occupied by E W Glandon A
defective flui had caused a small fire on
the kitchen roof which was easily ex-
1 tinguished with small los
The department responded to both
alarms but found it only necessary to
turn on the water at the Branscom fire

David City used to boast that it had
the finest saloon in the state with tbe
most co itly furnishings and the best
regulations Perhaps it was true But
the town became so infested with people
who were narrow prejudiced and
unfair that they voted the saloons out
And great were the grief and lamenta
tions at David City It was even at
tempted to organize the farmers into
boycotting the town Of course no
town could prosper without the generous
a siatance of that clas9 of citizens who
are known to be broad liberal and fair
minded But have you beard the lat
est The business of David City of
ate has seemed to call for more bank
ing facilities and a new organization has
jut opened for business in the room oc
cupied by the famous saloon and tbe
former proprietor is one of the ofiicers
of the bank Bully for David City and
tho man who saw fit to get into a busi
ness that will doubtless be more of a
satisfaction and pride to his relatives
