The engine and ware house on the farm of Fred Timm, trustee of Cass township, caught fire late Wednesday, afternoon and with its contents was completely destroyed. The fire was the result of carelessness, we are told. Lester Gaddis; a young man, was employed about the premises and lighting his pipe, threw the match on the floor which was more or less saturated with gasoline In a twinkling everything was in flames. In trying to subdue the flames Lester was painfully burned about the head, neck and arms. Mr. Timm estimates his loss at about $650. —Medaryville Ad--vertiser. Mr. Mansfield, the rile ditcher, had the time of his life last Monday, killing rattlesnakes. He was helping make hay on the farm of Thomas Dimon in Gillam township when lifting a bunch of hay there were no less than three rattlesnakes curled up under it. It goes without saying that he dispatched them. .Going to another bunch he found anoher of the reptiles under it. It was also killed.—Medaryville Advertiser.
