Q_ — Fire at about 9:30 o’clock Monday night destroyed the home of Jess burkhead, and what was once the happy ’home of tihe family is now a mass of charred debris. The origin of the fire, is unknown as there was no one at home at the time, and no fire had been in the stove since noon and (hat m a gasoline stove, but it is thought by some to have been caused by a mouse which carried a match unI der ther organ in the front room, and 1 it seems that the blaze started. I Mrs. Burkhead left on the noon train ! for Monroe for a visit with relatives ! and Mr. Burkhead was down the street and was’unaware of the fire until notified, and returning found his home in flames. It was discovered by neighbors, who smelled the smoke and soon discovered the blaze, but not until such headway had been gained that [ very little could be done. AH of the household goods were consumed with I the exception of but a few articles, ’ and nothing but the side walls remain standing. The house was owned by W» j Meyers, who also knew nothing of his loss until informed this morning. He carried insurance to the amount of S4OO in the Glen Falls Insurance company, but this will cover the loss by several hundred dollars. At present he is not able to state whether he will rebuild or mot, but it will have to be cleared away and put in shape for building purposes. Mr. Burkhead also carried S3OO I insurance on the goods, which will 1 cover a part of his loss. : 1 - WANTED TO SEE WORLD. But Willingly Returned to His Home After Few Days, I William Angell, a young lad of about sixteen summers, was in the city yes* terday and later left for his home at Detroit, Mich. On last Friday he conceived the idea that he would like to see some of the, world and started his journey without funds. He headed for St. Louis and got as far as Ven Wert, Ohio, where he found that such a journey was not nearly so nice as he had pictured it, and he was willing to return to his home. He was aided from here by a kind-hearted-friend who purchased a ticket to Toledo and told him to return to his home and stay there. A few years ago he tried the same trick and managed to stay away from home about eight months, working at Louisville. He was a machinist by trade, but owing to some bad luck was unable to succeed. This will no doubt be enough travel for him on this plan. A family on North First street has complained much lately that wood and eggs disappear in alarming quantities and with much frequency from their barn. The family has a good idea as to who thejransgressor is and unless the pilfering ceases, complaint will be made to the proper officials.
