The home of Mr. Yocum , seven miles south of town , presents a sight seldom seen. In the little house , which is the only building loft on the farm , lies the body of Daisy , the 14-year-old daugh ter , burned to a crisp. The mother , who was reported dead , Is still alive , but In a critical condition. At the side of the bed sits the father , his face and hands burned , his eyes testing upon his loved ones ono dead the other dying. Dead chickens arc Ecattered about the yard , others not fortunate enough to have been burned to death , with eyes burned out and feathers singed , are wandering about the place. In the road , about seventy yards south of the house , the eyelets from her shoes , and the buttons from her clothing mailc the place where Daisy fell and was burned to death. Near the house were gathered a few of the neighbors who had come to offer theh assistance. The fire started near the town of Dallas about 10 o'clock In the forp- uoon and was driven by a terrific west wind. It coveied a strip about twenty miles long and from two to live miles wide. wide.Mr. Mr. Yocum and his family had but recently moved to the reservation. Mi. Yocum was unloading some of his furnituie when ho noticed the fire approaching. He hitched his team tea a plow and started to plow a fire guard , but had only fairly gotten started when the lire was upon them. The horses became tangled in the larness and Mrs. Yocum , seeing her uisband in trouble , went to his as sistance. Her clothes caught fire and she started for the house , meeting her daughter about half way. She tried to protect the child , but was unable to do so. The daughter , whoso clothes wore also on fire , tore loose from her mother , was lost from view and when found was burned to a crisp. Johnnie , an 8-year-old boy , started for a plowed field east of the house , but the flames beat down upon him , and the father seeing that ho was in danger rushed to his assistance. Ho laid the boy down on the ground and threw himself on top of him , thus sav ing him from harm. Mr. and Mrs. Yocum and their family came from Frankfort , Kan , , to South Dakota , about two years ago , They had by years of hard work saved a little over $2,000 , which they ex pected to purchase a farm In Tripp county after the opening. They had no faith In banks and always kept their money In their house. When Mrs. Yocum saw the fire approach she feared the house would burn , and she I < ut the money into the pocket of her dross , Her clothing was burned from her lied > and tholr little foitnuu do- r-troyi'd. Tjie house and the throe Ill- tin children who remained Inside wore iinhaimed. Several thousand dollais worth of property was destroyed , the heaviest loser being 1-M McMaulgal , who lives about three miles soittfivvost of Yocum. A number of cattle wore lost and I'undiods of tons of Lay , GRIST MILL FOR AVENUE. M. Twlss Will Move Mill to Lots West of Gas Plant. M. Twlss has purchased two lots be tween the Witter building on Norfolk avoniie , now being converted Into n creamery , and the gas plant at the corner of Norfolk avenue and Seventh street. Mr. Twlss will use the lots for his windmill and gristmill. The mills will bo moved to the now loca tion fiom the lots west of the North western uptown depot. HIS VIEW ON SCHOOL. M. C. Hazen , Candidate for Rc-Eclec- tlon , States His Attitude. With legald to the school building pioposltlon , for which $21,000 in bonds aio to bo voted on Tuesday , M. C. Ha/en , republican candidate for re election to the board of education , has briefly outlined his views to The News : At first ho was of the opinion that the old. high school building should he rebuilt and as much of the old walls used as possible , also to icinodel the Intel lor airangoinoiit If thought ad visable. This conclusion was i cached from the fact that the walls seemed to bo In good condition right after the fire , and that about $10,000 could thus be saved in salvage , possibly some thing on architect's foes and at least a month's time In the completion of the building. Recently however , he has been con verted to the view that It would bo for the best Interests of the taxpayers the pupils , and all concerned , to build a new building on an entirely dlf- fcient plan , fiom the foundation up. This change of opinion was brought about by talks with builders and ar chitects and a careful personal ex amination of the wall last Sunday , when he discovered that there was not a section of the wall left standing which did not show cracks and places where the brick's were coming apart in the first story , and that the heat of the fire had expanded the walls which loosened the lie biicks which bound Hie pressed brick veneer with ho Inner wall , so that the pressed brick veneer is practically unsup ported. Then too , the windows weio found to be but 2G inches wide , and this fact with the present arrangement ot the outside wall would not give sufficient light to the various rooms , This detrlmenl , however , might be helped and ovei come by use of prism glass , which works wonders In light ing dark rooms. About $0,500 in salvage can bo saved by the use of foundation and walls below the second story , and about $3,500 In building an entire new building , and only saving of the ma terial. It is figured that in the con struction of a new building about 65 % of the present matetial in value can bo saved. The pressed brick can bo easily cleaned at an expense of $2.00 per thousand and the common brick at not over $3.00 per thousand. , To rebuild the present building and use foundation and first story walls , with heating and plumbing , will cost about $29,000 , and to duplicate the Blair high school building , with heating and plumbing about $34,000. This build ing at Blair is highly spoken of by educators throughoul the state , and has an assemble room which will seat about 250. If the new high school law Is passed by our present legislature , and It looks as though It will be , it will add con- slderable to the high school attend ance , as it will admit pupils from near by rmal districts. The high school enrollment In our high school Is In creasing rapidly , and the future de mands for space will be considerably over the present. The hlgh'school has been overcrowded for sometime. More space could be arranged for It is true In rebuilding present building , but not in such form or area as will bo soon reoulred. The Blair building has ten school rooms as against eight in old building , is heated by a modern steam plant , which is economical In operation , good water closets , supoilntondent's room , pilnclpal's room , laboratory , three manual training rooms , cault , library , and gymnasium , all economically and conveniently arranged. Add $2,000 for furniture , will make $3iJ,000 , ( $3,000 to spare ) , and the building is ready for use. use.Tho The Blair building , Mr. Hazen men tions simply as an example of what can bo done by pulling up a now building. Even If the people will lose from $3,000 to $5,000 In salvage , would It not be belter , ho asks , to build a new building and get what the people want now and will surely need in the fu ture ? These views are arrived at by Mr. Hazen on the hypothesis that the fig ures hero given about are approxi mately correct , and If found not to bo so , then of course that would Influence final determination.

Miller , a Meat Market Propri etor There , Was Arrested for Selling Wild Ducks and Later Was Jailed for Dlpso Offense. Plerco , Nob. , March 30. Special to The News : It would not tnko any ex tended argument to convince Fred J. Miller of this place that life Is full of troubles. Mr. Miller Is proprietor of a moat market here and the deputy game warden dropped In on Mr. Miller and confiscated a number of wild ducks that were suspended In his win dow. As a result two distinct acts took place. A complaint was filed In the comity court against Miller under the now law and Fred J. accumulated one of his fighting jags. He spent the night In the county jail and In the moinlng was taken from the county court to appear before the Insanity board on a charge under the dipso maniac law and his hearing Is still on. Interest In the Mljlcr case was to tally eclipsed , however , by the arrest of a number of prominent wealthy cit izens of Pierce by the game warden and the probable ancst of seveial. who have as yet not been complained against. It seems that a vigilance committee of young men have for some time been secretly at work gath ering evidence agalnot parlies who vlo- lalo the law by using nets and seines in the river and creeks. A number of seines and nets have already been con- flscated and several arresls are being made today. The young men have declared their L 'entlon of ridding Ilio river of seines and nets Irom Hadar lo Osmond and will complain against every person caught violating the law regardless of his wealth or promi nence. The depuly game warden will spend considerable time around here and It looks as If a number of people will have to change their menu from ftesh black bass to salt fish or be con tent with ordinary beef sleak. WANTED TO CARVE SOMEBODY. Colored Cook at Long Pine Goes Out With a Knife. Long Pine , Neb. , March 30. Special to The News : Sam Beatly , colored , cook at the eating house , was arrest ed and fined $10 and cosls and was given three hours to leave town.

Nellgh , Neb. , March 30. Special to The News : At the recent regular meeting ot the Odd Fellows lodge , the plans and specifications for the Audi torium and lodge room were submit ted to the lodge by Architect Stilt of Norfolk , and wore adopted. Proposals for the constrncllon of Hie building are Invllod from builders through ad- verllsemonls In the local papers. The plans show a flno looking front of an elevation of 40 feet and width of 48 feet. It IB to bo of brick with stone trimmings and galvanized work. The main entrance to the auditorium on the ground floor Is placed In the center with doors to the stairway leadIng - Ing to the lodge room on the one side and Into the office on the other. Be tween are two windows giving ample light. On the north side are three doors from the audPorlum building enabling It to be emptied of the largest crowd In a few seconds. The floor plans are complete and show a building with all modern conveniences , with ample dressing rooms beneath the stage , and two others at each side of the stage and opening upon the wings. The second floor contains the large lodge room , spacious banquet hall , reception and ante rooms , toilets and other mod ern conveniences. When the building is complete Ne llgh lodge I. O. O. P. , No. 72 , will have a building that Is perhaps unex celled by any similar lodge In the state It Is planned to have the actual work of construction begin with' the least delay possible. EASTER SUNDAYHERE. , Fair Weather and Pretty Gowns Were Features of the Day. Save- for a chill wind thai made light wiaps comfortable , Caster Sunday In Norfolk was all that the day demand ed. A bright clear sky , the bracing atmosphere of spring , grcon lawns symbolical of the new life In nature were features of the March Easter. That It was a Maich Easter , however , the Match winds and the trees of foil- ngo amply attested. * Norfolk women looked more than over becoming in Easier gowns and bonnets. Owners of pretty millinery effects saved two smiles for the weather man and bestowed n third on the dalntj vision in the minor. The place of the spilng flowers , missing In the early Easter , was taken by the pretly "flower hals" worn by Norfolk maids , In Norfolk churches special alien- tlon was given lo Ilio Iheme of Iho lesurroctlon , Iho more seilous side of Easier day. The ohuich attendance was laigo.
