The big barn on the Mrs. Emmet

day night. The fire was first discovered
about jMjuarter of ten by Bert Gardner

ran to the barn, but when he reached it
the loft was all on fire and the flames
bursting through the roof. There waB
no fire on the ground floor except what
was dropping down through the hay
and grain chutes. T^iere were four
head of horses tied in the barn and
Bert tried to get them out but could
not succeed and all four were burned.
The barn also contained about 300
bushels of corn, 8 tons of hay, 150 bush
els of millet seed, 4 sets of double and 1
set of single harness, and several plows
and other farm implements, which were
all destroyed. The barn was a large
and good one 24x64 feet. The IOSB on
barn and contents is estimated at f1200.
It was insured for $500 in the Hawkeye
Co. 9300 on the building and 9200 on
the contents. The origin of the fire is a
mystery. Bert Gardner was at the
barn about 8 o'clock and is poMtive

Frank Moore, the sixteen-year-old sou
of John Moore, who lives just east ot
Crown, was the victim of an attempted
assassination Monday evening about 8
o'clock. Mr. Moore had come home
with his team and the boy took it to the
barn to put them up.- He was in one
of the stalls when a shot fired from an
adjoining stall whizzed past him and
the bullet, a 32, was btiried in the side
of the barn. Frank made a hasty exit
and was joined by his father and after
securing a lantern a search of the barn
was made but no one could be found.
It is thought that the shot was intend
ed for Mr. Moore, but no clew to the
person's identity is obtainable. It was
a narrow escape for Frank, however, as
the bullet barely missed him.

him again. Farris, who was sleeping in
the store below was awakened by the
noise and remonstrated with Crawford,
who attacked him with a knife. Farris
finally secured his revolver and fired,
seriously wonndingCrawfqid. Farris was
cut several places on his face and neck,
and Crawford is under arrest on the
charge of breaking and entering and at*
tempted murder,

more husked 75 busbels of corn in ex
actly -four and one-half hours. The
corn was bought by Mr. Dobson and
was hauled from the field by Rue Stone
who vouches for the accuracy of the
record. Young Densmore had offered
to wager he could husk 150 bushels in a
day and just to trv himself let out Fri
day afternoon and made the above rec.
ord. In addition to being a fast busker
he is also a first-class farmer, as the
corn was part of his crop raised on a
part of the Stone farm which he leased
for this season and which averages over
80 bushels per acre.

Announcement.
The Quaker Quartet organized in Phil
adelphia, September 1st, 1856, by Chas.
H. Baker, is the oldest male quartet in
America in continuous seivice. From
that date, they sang together for ten
years then its personnel changed every
few years, more or less, still retaining
the Quaker name. In September, 1887,
N. L. Baker, son of the founder, joined
the Quartet as Basso. He is now the
only member left of the original Quartet.
The Bureau confidently affirms that
the Quaker Male Quartet Company, as
now organized for the season of 1900
and 1901, is the. peer of any similar or
ganization that ever sang before an
audience. The Quartet will not onlv
appear in full dress, but also in elegant
costumes during the rendition of their
program, and introduce many novelties
that no other company will 'be capable
of giving. In comedy they are beyond
comparison. While eveiy member of
the quartet is a soloist, Mr. Baker, the
Basso, who sings three octaves, from
Tenor to below low C, is not only
one of the best bass singers in the coun
try, but is a whole host in himself, as
an entertainer and comedian. He is not
only the author of many of the most
popular songs of the day, but one of the
very best humorous vocalists on the
concert stage. "Ye vuaint and curious
melodyes" of olden times, as rendered
by this Quartet, must be heard to be
fully appreciated. Their concerts leave
an impression on an audience that is
not soon forgotten. Van Werden's
opera house, Friday evening, Dec. 14.
