FAllinURY, Neb., Feb. 15.-(Speclnl.)
A disastrous fire swept the town of IfeU
vey, eight miles northwest of Falrbury,
early yesterday morning, Involving a total
loss of $i;,(00. Tho flro originated ln tho
barber shop and pool hall belonging to
James Gano. These buildings quickly
burned to the ground. Thc flames spread
to adjoining buildings and a ten-room
hotel owned by O. Black, thc "armer's
bank and J. Armstrong's restaurant Were
consumed. It was impossible to savo
these buildings and It was only by hard
work that the Schmale hardware store
was saved by the bucket brigade. Tho
origin of the flro is a mystery. All the
buildings were frame and most of them
insured.

to be given to county boards to authorize
them to uproprlate money towards tho

ought not to object. But it seems that
the present legislature was elected on 11

Suspected Couple
May Confess Misdeed
MINDKN. Neb.. Feb IS (Special.)
Yesterday the authorities from I'ueblo ,

are to be examined for poison and used
If necessary as evidence against the
widow of Clyde Rlauchurd and her para
mour. V. E. Caldwell, now under arrest
for the murder of Clyde Hlanchard at
Fowler. Colo.
It has developed that Mr. Rlauchitrd
carried J2J.CC0 life Insurance, all of which
was payable to the wife except $1,000,
which was payable to the parents, tt
seems that Caldwell was living near or
with the lilanclmtds for a time, being
foreman of Mr. Ulanchard's business.
Mr. and Mrs. Rhuichartl did not tlve as
happily as they might have done and
when one day Hlanchard came home
he. found his wife preparing to leave
him.
However, she stayed that night and
tho result was that the next day Blanch
urd wus sick and tho wife called a doctor,
who pronounced It an overdose of mor
phine and told the widow that Blanch
ard would surely recover In a short
while.
Later tho doctor vas called again ntid
found Dtanchard Worse, In fact, so bad,
that that ho died wrthin fifteen minutes.
The supposition was, of course, that
Hlanchard wns given more of the medi
cine. Inquiry followed which led to sus
picion. The Insurnnco companies at once
put detectives on tho trail of tho couple.
The body was taken to Mlnden for In-
terment. As an escort, tho widow, Lam-
