Ai-restecl for Hotline Ip-ire asacl
-aurulng: tlie  Earns  ot
Wm. Crawford,
On the night of October 30th, two
large barns on the farm of William
Crawford, near Dover, in tho north part
of Grant township, wero consumed by
the flames, entailing a loss of about
$1,200 or 51,300. Tho Are occurred between 10 and 11 o'clock in the evening,
ancl whon discovered both buildings
wero entirely enveloped. The origin of
the Are was a mystery, as thoro was no
means known from which it could be
communicated. Mr, Crawford's residence was some 12 or 18 rods distant,
which was tho nearest place of a stove
or fire, and he says there was no ono
out there, to his knowledge, from about
8 o'clock whon ho went to the barnyard
to feed the hogs.
Tho following day (Saturday) a good
many of tho peoplo from that neighborhood were in this city, and of a
natural consequence had moro or less
to say regarding tho fire. Among tho
number were Henry McNeil and Frank
Banks. "Whilo coming up west -1th
streot the former spoko of the matter
and Banks replied, "Yes, and he will
looso a d n sight more if he don't
keep his mouth out of my business.'
They went into Dawson's saloon where
they met two or threo moro from tho
vicinity of Dover, whom Banks called
up ancl treated, and further conversation was had concerning tho matter,
and Banks said, "Yes, I set it, and he's
liable to loose a d n sight more," as
testimony goes to show. The men
hushed him up and told him such remarks wero liable to get him into
trouble, but ho porsisted he "didn't
care; ho could prove himsolf clear of
it."
Further testimony in tho caso by Mr.
Fields, who resides some GO or 80 rods
from tho burned barns, is to tho effect
that ho was awakened by the blowing
of the whistle on Mr. Crawford's shingle
mill; that ho got up and dressed and
hastened over, and that just as ho was
raising the brow of a littlo hill he saw
two men running rapidly from the
barns toward a patch, of woods in the

J. I. Kirkpatrick, a Vernon township
farmer, who lives on the state roacLtwo
and one-half miles south of Claro, met
with an accident about 4:30 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon that camencar costing his life. Ho went into tho woods
with his team after a load of wootL
After loading up his wagon ho got oxt

Tho wagon wheol passed over his body„
striking him just abovo tho left hip and
below the short ribs. Tho wheel had a
3} s inch tire. Had it been a narrow
tire he probably would havo been suddenly killed or received fatal injuries-
Ho got upon tho wagon to rido to the
house, but tho jolt caused him toomucb
pain, and he was obliged to got off and
walk. He reached the house with mucls
difficulty, and was helped onto the
lounge and medical aid summoned.

and did all for tho injured man known

The testimony introduced thus far
does not implicate Wood. Ho and
Banks wero arrested Monday by Sheriffs Doty and Parrish and taken to Harrison. Tho examination was commenced on Wednesday beforo Justice Mc-
Intyre in this city, ouly three witnesses
being partially examined. Prosecuting
Attorney Burritt asking for anadjourn-
ment of two weeks in order to procure
a witness who is now absent elsewhere
whose evidence is material in the case.
Mr. Burritt thinks ho has a good case
against the two young men and feels
quite confident of convicting them.
John Giberson is attorney for the defendants and is making a hard fight for
his clients.
Human Brutes.
James Bell and a man giving his name
as George Thompson became engaged
in an altercation yesterday forenoon in
Trainer's saloon and camo together.
Thompson took a chunk out of Bell's
little finger and also chewed him on the
cheek beforo they were seperated. Bell
wandered down on -1th street into John
D wyer's saloon where Thompson followed him. They had further words and
again got to fighting. Bell asked if
"biting goes" and during the melee
succeeded in getting Thompson's left
ear between his teeth and severing fully one-third off tho upper part thereof.
Both were pretty well loaded with
poor whiskey, which accounts for the
fight. Bell is reported as a quiet sort
of a fellow who has worked in divers
.lumber camps in this vicinity for the
past ten or twelve years. Thompson is
a big burley fellow, about 35 'years of
age, a stranger in these parts. He had
his ear dressed, and last evening was
still wandering about the city in a half-
stupefied condition. Bell left for parts
unknown immediately after the fight.
No arrests have yet been made.
There is the social call, "the preachers
call, the "call" in draw poker, the Close
call, the call to breakfast, the call a
fellow gets before trying to fill a long:,
felt want, and the call the priest reads
three weeks beforo tho ceremony. Doctors are sometimes called out of the*
opera house, but it breaks a young fellow all up to be "called" off tho porch
by the old gent in the way a certain
youhgman was tho other evening while
visiting his best girl at a rather late-
hour.
