Small Dwelling and Contents Near Newland Was Burned.

A small dwelling house just west of Newiand and near the Ed Oliver property was destroyed by fire this Wednesday morning and all of the contents were lost, leaving the family of Walter Adams, who occupied it, almost without clothes. The house belonged to Harry Batezell, who moved to Gary some time ago. Mr. Adams was working away from home and Mrs. Adams and their four children were left homeless and penniless, even the money they had in the house, about SB,. was lost. The good people of Newiand will have a meeting Thursday morning and take steps to provide clothing for the unfortunate family. Julius Taylor has about completed a nice new house on North Forest street, which he expects to occupy as a residence as soon as finished, either renting or selling his other property in the east part of town.
