) The remains of Clarence M. Smith
were shipped to San Diego, California
Thursday evening last for burial. The
body was accompanied by Otto Staab.
As was stated in the Journal last week
the young man died from the effects of
pneumonia, after but two days of sick
ness. Two days before death he seemed
to complain of a severe cold, but nothing
alarming was thought of. In a f.-w
hours a raging fever compelled him to
take to hit bed and a doctor called who
pronouueed the patient in a dangerou
stage of pneumonia. All that could be
done was administered to the young man
but to no avail. He was conscious until
almost to the end. He came here from
California last October to make his home
permanently with the Reeder family,
Mrs. Reeder being an aunt to the unfor
tunate boy. Clarence was a eon of
George B. Smith, and grand son of
Samuel C. Smith, one of the early set
tlers ot Platte "ounty, who moved sev
eral years ago to California. His father
died a few years ago, but his mother is
still living and resides, in 8an Diego,
California, where interment wsb "made
Early Thursday evening short services

No one would hardly dream that Co
lumbus was the home of fire bug, but it
seems so from the following facts. Last
Friday night, while Doc Cook was absent
from home, np near Creston attending to
some veterinary work.some parties, up
to this time unknown, set a straw stack
on fire which is near bis barn m south
Columbus. This happened about eleven
o'clock, but before the flames "could do
much damage was extinguished by
neighbors living near by. This first
attempt to burn Doc out did not quite
suit the perpetrators, and about two
hours later another match was touched
off and tye second time the straw stack
was ablaze. The neighbors again saw
the flames and it was by the hardest
kind of work that the building near by
was saved. The fire alarm was not
sounded. Mr. Cook told a Journal re
porter Monday that he was at a loss to
! understand why he should be particu
larly picked out by the parties who
wished to see hard earned money go np
in smoke, as ho knows of no such enemy
in Columbus. ..
The ringing of the firebell Friday
afternoon brought the citizens out into
the cold. Tbe",fire'.was found to be in
the John Tober house in the south part
of town. When -the fire boys arrived
the entire inside of tne building was
burning but the flames had not reached
the outside. It took but a short time
before water was turned on and the
buildisg was saved, though damaged to
the extent of about $300.' The family of
Joe Martyse occupied the residence and
were absent from the place at the time
of fire. Mr. Martyse was at work at the
coal scbutesand bis wife after doing her
morning work, filled the stove with coal
and left for a visit to a relative. The
stove pipe became red hot and set fire
to the wall, and Ind it not hi en for the
prompt action of the neighbors the
house and all its contents would un
doubtedly been ruined. Most of the
household goods were carried into the
street but much damage was done by
breakage and water.
