Friday evening Mr and Mrs Kay Hindman of Dan bury are visiting relativesjghere this week Mrs Clarenca McCord who has been visiting here the past two weeks returned to her home in Colorado Joe Fern and family arrived here last Saturday from Louisville Colo Mr Fern has been working in the mines for a good many year but owing to failing health was compelled to leave that work and will now take up farming Mr Fern is a relative of the Burtons There are several threshing roa hines in this vicinity and all seem to be doing their beat to save the grain for the farmers The report on the yield of wheat is from five to ten bushels per acre and the test from forty eight to fifty seven pounds to the bushel F A Hodgkin threshed a field of rye Wed nesday afternoon and the quality of the berry was so fine that some of the boys suggested that he sell it for alfal fa seed Perry A Premer came home from Missouri Tuesday morning where he has been for a few days looking up the land and agricultural conditions He says he is well pleased with things in general If all the precincts in this county send delegafes to the Eepublican Coun ty Convention like those from East Valley North Valley and Alliance there will be no danger of county option not getting there The delegates from Bartley and East Valley were J E Hathorn U G Etherton F G Stilge bouer A L Cochran and S W Clark North Valley Wm Wright Alliance Samuel Premer Wo are certainly to be congratulated that the delegates to the state conven tion from this county were instructed for county option and that it is to be hoped it will eventually become a law Quite a delegation of McCookites en joyed a splash in the Indianola swim ming pool Wednesday evening going down on 10 and returning on 5 M mQmmmi aV UPDIKE ELEVATORS ARE DESTROYED BY FIRE Saved in Early Evening From Such a Fate to be Consumed in Early Morning LOSS ON BUILDING AND CONTENTS 3000000 City and Company Departments Do Valiant ServiceCongratulations ore Due All Around that Loss Was Not Much Heavier The big Updike Grain and Coal Co plant in this city became on early Tuesday morning but a mass of smouldering ruins Fire finally did its perfect work including both the old and the new ele vators office building coal bins engine house etc The first fire occurred at about six oclock Monday evening the big new elevator being discovered afire just under the roof Both city and company fire departments responded to the alarms and although there was considerable delay on the part of the city department in getting a stream of water on the burning building within an hour the flames were confined to the extreme upper part of the elevator and supposedly extinguished much to the relief of everybody But rejoicing was not to be permanent At about 330 Tues day morning fire whistles screeched out the alarming fact that fire had broken out anew in the big elevator and by the time the fire men had water on the flames it was only too evident that both ele vators were doomed such headway had the fire already made There were about 16000 bushels of oats about 7000 bushels of corn 2000 bushels of wheat in the elevators and about 300 tons of coal in the fine large new bins lately built for that trade The grain is practically destroyed and the coal is for the most part badly damaged The loss on both elevators the office building and the coal sheds together with the contents of all will aggregate 3000000 upon which the company carried a blanket insurance which will doubtless reimburse them for the damage sustained A burst fire hydrant at the conier of B and east 3rd street im paired the pressure considerabty and burst hose also delayed gett ing water promptly onto the fire J E Molund had 40c sacks of cement stored in the east coal bin of Bullard yard and this was damaged considerably entailing no little loss on Mr Molund which wa not protected by insurance The damage was from water The east coal bin ot the Bullard yard was practically destned As none of their coal was reached their loss is small The hard thorough and h arty work of the Burlington fire de partment is fully appreciated The Tribune has no doubt by all the citizens of McCook After the city fire department gets down to steady work the do as effective and as good woi k as any volunteer department Monday evening a set of circumstances retarded their progress very much Twice their water line were too short and bursting of hose later on when direct pressure pumping was done in the main delay ed them With these delays however they made good Their weakness is the lack of thorough organization which goes necessari ly with the volunteer service but harder and more willing workers to the last bit of endurance you cant find either in volunteer or regularly paid departments Charlie Emerson and Ed Howell and their boys are always there with the wet goods in case of fire J S Miller of the company fire department was quite severely hurt about the head by running against a quarantine rope in the darkness He was thrown to the curb and received an ugly cut on the head and a black eye to boot It is greatly to be regretted a watch was not maintained over the elevator all night About eveven oclock Mr Garvey and others went carefully through the elevator and finding no evidence of fire left the building and went home and retired for the night E Stockham of the Updike Co was in the city yesterday The company will rebuild at once building one large elevator Of the wheat in the burned elevators 1100 bushels had just been delivered from Charlie Evans farm over south It was extra fine weighing 62 pounds to the bushel The damaged grain is being sold rapidly for feeding purposes INDIANOLA Wm Short pioneer liverman sold his interests in
