Tho Seward Blade gives some fur
ther particulars of the fire we mentioned
last week, as follows: "Coming down
from Columbus Thursday morning, the
baggage and mail car on the A. k X.
caught fire just before the train reached
Staplehurst. The fire was under pretty
good headway when the train pulled up
at the water tank. Before the fire could
be extinguished the whole end and a
large portion of the roof of the car was
burned. The mail was all saved, but the
agent had a cool berth until the train
reached Lincoln, where another car was
put on. All the baggage was destroyed.
One lady from David City, on her way
to Kansas, lost her trunk and clothing,
and returned to David City. A revolver
in the baggage car created a stampede
when the fire reached it and the balls
began to fly. The fire caughtfrom the
