Ed Bellows, four miles southwest of Remington, on the county line, had quite a nairrow escape last Thursday night from a bad fire, They had threshed about ninety acres of bats there that day and the straw stack was within twenty feet of his big barn, with straw scattered .between the stack and barn. They had not finished threshing and the nearly new threshing outfit of the County Line Threshing Co., stood near the stack. When Mr. Bellows got up in the morning he noticed smoke coming from the straw stack and a hurry up call for help was sent by telephone through the neighborhood. In a short time nearly fifty men assembled and the way they went after that fire was a caution, digging clear to the bottom of the stack and hauling fifty loads of straw to the fields. It took them till ten o’clock to finish the Job, but they saved the barn with all Its valuable contents and the expensive threshing outfit. Mrs. Bellows and the women folks assisted in the work by furnishing the men with coffee and lunch, they having left
home before breakfast. It is supposed that the stack was struck by lightning about midnight, and only the heavy rain that fell before the lightning came saved it from immediately bursting into flames.

EMPLOYES QUIT STEEL PLANT
Because They Can’t Get Beer In Gary Business Men Alarmed. Hammond, Ind., Aug. 14.—Six hundred employes of the Indiana Steel Company, a subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporation, at Gary, quit work to-day because they could not get beer there, and the merchants of Gary are panic-strick-en since that town went dry. The steel company reports that last pay day $75,000 worth of checks were cashed at South Chicago. To remedy the abolition of saloons a mass meeting, attended by a hundred business men took place last night. The gathering was addressed by Rev. George Matthews, the attorney for the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, who was responsible for the saloon ouster of the Board of Directors of the Steel Corporation last summer, in which the officials said that the only way to dispose of saloons that bred dives and gambling dens was by remonstrance. He denounced illicit liquor dispensaries and said the “blind pigs” were responsible for vice and the consequent crusade which had paralyzed business in Gary by driving thousands of laborers out of town to seek liquor elsewhere. A petition was Introduced at the meeting to be taken before the Board of Commissioners, the signers of the document pledging themselves that if the remonstrance against the saloons was withdrawn all violations of law by saloon keepers would be prosecuted-
