CONTENTS OF HOUSE AND . HOME BURN , Hoopingarner’s Out of | Town When Flames Destroyed Home. While Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hoopingarner were in Fort Wayne, Tuesday, fire destroyed the contents and the inside of their concrete ' block home. The fire, believed to have started front an overheated furnace in the basement of the house, had gained much headway, and was not < noticed until smoke roiling out of | the house attracted the attention of 1 men at the Shell Oil filling station ■ across the road. They turned, in the ! fire alarm and the fire trucks were . hurried to the acene about 11 o’clock, Tuesday morning. They did not leave until 1 o’clock—but only the front . porch swing was saved. When the firemen arrived the house was filled with smoke and it was so hot., it W»« impossible for them to enter until they had played water into the basement, and then steam shot into the air for some time. t The walls, floor, ceiling and” furniture downstiirs were charted embers, and the upstairs floor settled. What was not damaged by fire and srpoke was damaged by the wa-. ter applied. About all that is left is the outside walls, and the roof of the house. Mrs. Hoopingarner’s father, F. 1 L. Hoch, located Mr. and Mrs. Robpingarner in Fort Wayne and told them by telephone of the damage to their home, and they hurried back to Syracuse at once. The loss to the house and contents is only partially covered by insurance. As Mr. Hooplngarner said: “Thank goodness we wore as many clothes as we did today, as that’s all we have. ” . ’ — MAN BELIEVEd’c.RAZY, ALARMS RESIDENTS A man believed to be crazy, alarmed residents on Boston street, Monday morning.

ONE WOMAN KILLED; ONE HURT IN WRECK Car of Rev. Foust of Lydick, Formerly of Syracuse, Strikes Two of Hk Church Members. One of the women who planned to be a guest at a Sunday-school party at the church of which Rev. R. G. Foust is pastor in Lydick, was killed and another injured when on their way to the party, Friday evening, they were atruck bj the car of Rev. Foust, formerly of Syracuse. Mrs. William E. Wilds, 60, of Lydick, died instantly of a fractured neck, and Mrs. Joseph Grouse, 63, who was walking by her side on the road, was thrown to the pavement and suffered severe fractures of both legs. She wss taken to a hospital. In the opinion of the deputy coroner, who was called after the accident, the slippery condition of the highwsy, arid poor visibility resulting from sleet and drizzling rain were principal factors of responsibility. He reported that Rev. Foust, prostrated by the accident, said that he was driving at a speed of less than 15 miles an hour when the two women loomed in the road ahead. He had just started up his car after a stop at a house about four houses distant. Applying the brakes and shouting a warning the driver saw his sedan skid into the pair who were walking east at a point about 100 yards east of Lydick stores. The deputy coroner said that he believed that the women were walking near the road eenter because of the positions in which they were found and from marks on the automobile, one of which indicated that the victim was struck first by the center of the bumper. One of the women was carrying a flashlight, but it had not been lighted. EVERYONE ASKED TO FREE FISH SUPPER Big Program Planned After Supper At Yellowbanks Hotel, Dec. 17; Tippecanoe Club, Hosts.
