Fire at
Blackburn.
Four Buildings Completely
Destroyed Tuesday Even-J
ing.
By the explosion of some pado-
inc and coal oil which had been nc
cidcntally mixed in Conrad & Paul
ing's pool hall in Blackburn Tues
day night a serious fire resulted
and four business places were burn
ed.
George Conrad was working with
his lights In the pool hall when thoj
explosion occurred, lie saw at
once that he could do nothing to
put out tho fire and so gave tho
alarm. A large number responded
and succeeded in confining the
flames to the four wooden, struc
tures. The fire on tho north burnt
to Gv J. Wagner's saddlery sljop,
which is in a' brick building, to the
south to Pelot's grocery store, also
in a, brick building. They also suc
ceeded In saving nearly everything
movable in all the buildings except
the pool hall.
The pool hall building was a onc-
story frame owned by L. Sunder-
brlnk and occupied by Geo. Con
rad and Joe Pauling as a pool hall.
The building was valued at $f000
and injured for $400. The con
tents were a complete loss, about.
$200.
The postof flee and barbershop ad
joining were owned by J. H. Wcbc
Bel, They were valued at $600 and
insured for $400. Taylor Entrekiri,
the postmaster, assisted by volun
teers saved tho contents of the
pcatofflce. In the rear of tho post
office was a room occupied by Jos.
Blackford, the contents of which
were destroyed. The barber shop
was conducted by Robt. Petering
and the contents were saved.
The building occupied by J.Rclth
as a saddlery and Geo. Haesemeyer
as a furniture and undertaking bus
iness was a two story structure
owned by D. L. Ramey, valued at
$800 and insured for $600. The con
tents were saved.
The fire was a big one and tho
heat' broke the window pane3 in
the buildings across the street.
Another Bad Fire.
The residence of Byron Collins,
on West Jackson burned at 2.30 a.
m. Thursday morning of this week.
Mr. Collins was home by himself,
his wife having gone to Mexico, Mo
on a visit to hpmefolks and when
the fire was discovered was hardly
able to escape, securing only his
pants and shoes. Mr. and Mrs.
Collins were married a year
ago and their furniture was new
so that their loss falls heavily.
Hair Rat Saved Her Life
Miss Lillian Kreiser, of Kansas
City who teaches hero every Fri
day and Saturday, had a fall on an
icy walk in Kansas City on' Mon
day that rendered her unconscious
and bruised her so badly that she
waB confined to her room till Fri
day. She said she fell backward
and her head struck the hard pavo
ment but the force of tho fall was
much broken by the fact that her
hair acted as a cushion.
A Fine Program
The Wilbur Starr Concert Co.
appeared at the high school audi
torium Tuesday evening of this
week. Unfortunately they afrlved
late and the .entertainment com
menced at nine Instead of eight
o'clock, but they made up in iriual
ity what they lost In time. Prof
Starr's numerous selections were
especially enjoyed by the... large
audlenco and ho kept them in

of the best entertainers to visit Mar
Bhall tor a long time. Mrs. Starr
and Miss Livingston were also very

resentatives from your sccilon.
There Is a feeling here that the road

materially In serving our com
munity, also promoting the rail
road interest. Tho committee in
structed ma to .write you, ask'ng
that you take this matter up with
such persons as you think would
assist in the project, and to meet
