L. D. Erwin, aged 84 years, who has been spending the winter in Chicago with his daughter, Mrs. Newt Waterman, came last week to visit his daughter here, Mrs. N. Littlefield. Mrs. H. R. Kurrie and children, who have been sojourning for the past several weeks in Florida, at Umatilla, returned home Sunday morning in President Kurrie’s private car from Louisville. Mrs. Jennie M. Conrad sustained the loss of a large barn and contents, on her north ranch, near Conrad station, by fire Saturday. With the barn six head of horses, two cows and a large amount of grain were consumed. By this misfortune Mrs. jConrad will be greatly handicapped in the beginning of spring work on her farms. Before the loss of the six head she was already short of horses sufficient for doing the work and only last week purchased a span of mules here from A. M. Smith.—Kentland Democrat. <
