Comparison of population by precincts cannot be made;
county redistricted between 1900 and 1910.
The census shows Roy Village with only 564 population, but
the census was taken during the "flu" epidemic last spring and
'several families were out of town at the time the census was tak
en. The Village' Board had a new census taken later for the pur
pose of changing the incorporation fróm a Village to a town, and
it shows the Roy census to be 654. Since thatcensus was taken a
number of families have moved to town and-no' doubt the census
at present will reach about 750. , ;.
You will also note that it shows a decrease, in the Roy Pre
cinct but this comes from the fact .that the Mills and Roy Precincts
were one in 1910 but since that date have been made into two pre
cincts showing a population of over 2,000. Roy precinct shows the
second largest in the County. Wagon 'Mound Precinct "which hás
. not been changed in size during the past ten years shows an ac
tual decrease of 208.' The whole county shows a gain of only 1,304
for the past ten years and 3,607 for the past 20 years. Gascon or
Precinct 21, in the northwest part of the county, is the smallest in
number of inhabitants, having only 156. - ,

This week has been one of terror to the residents? f Rov as fmir-
attempts have been made to burn
town.
The first fira was discovered at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening in the
shed back of the Appel store, where some one had set several
bales of hay and other rubbish on fire. The fire was discovered
a few minutes after it was, started and was extingm3ed before any
serious damage was done. .. . .,
Very few ever knew of 1 the
first fire. j "
Just as the picture show . was
over, about ten or a few minutes
of ten a light was noticed from
the Theatre and which later
proved to be the Roy Trading Co
store on fire. Some one had set
a pile of rubbish on fire at the
Southwest porner of he building,
and by the time the crowd , from
the theatre reached the building
the roof was ablaze whipped by
a light breeze from the south
west. A number of fire ex
tinguishers were rushed to the
scene and a bucket brigade
formed and after a hard effort
the blaze was extinguished after
considerable damage had been
done. Mr. Hanson and two of
the clerks stayed at the store as
guards and the crowd dispersed.
Every few minutes they made
a complete survey of the store
both -inside and outside,.- and
while on the rounds, Mr. Hanson
noticed a blaze in the south end
of town which he immediately
located in their large warehouse
which was stored full of hay and
broom corn and feed. He im
mediately gave an alarm, and
within a few minutes a large
crowd was present fighting to
save the Floersheim sheds and
residences which, were just
across the spur track from the
burning buildings. Milton
Floersheim and H. Krabben
schmidt noticed the fire about
the same time that Mr. Hanson
gave the alarm which was then

FlGersheim sheds were a fiire a
number of times but by the use
of fire extinguishers, salt and

the Flqersheim store to. the scene
of the fire and á number o! ianks
of water were hauled, by Mr.
Leatherman during the night
and the fire was. kept down so

made to give a, completing of

upper story. He was released
and ordered to get out of town
