FIRE DESTROYS A HOME. Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Eidsmoe met with quite a loss Sunday evening, when their house and its entire contents were destroyed by fire. They had been spending the evening with one of their neighbors, and had left a lamp burning low in their house. The curtains were left down and they had no knowledge of anything being wrong until upon their return they found it all ablaze. It was impossible to save a single thing from the building. It is supposed that the fire was caused by the explosion of the lamp as the fire seemed to be all over the room. Mr. Eidsmoe and his wife have only been here a few months and had built a neat little frame cottage. There was no insurance on the building or its contents and the loss is felt very keenly by them. They have the sympathy of the people in their trouble. It would be a great help to Mr. and Mrs. Eidsmoe if the neighbors hauling grain to Mandan and coming home with empty wagons would bring out volunteer loads of lumber even if it was hauled no further than Flasher, it would save that gentleman a great deal of labor and expense and give him a chance to get started once more, ready for spring work. Any one willing to do anything for Mr. Eidsmoe can leave word at the Hustler office.

Sam Bickford received the sad intelligence on Tuesday of the death of his father, which occurred at the family home, near Buffalo, N.Y. The news was quite a shock to Sam, while he knew his father to be in poor health, it was not considered quite so serious. Mr. Bickford has the sympathy of a large circle of friends in this community.

Mrs. R. R. Pearce, of Dogtooth, was called to her home in Frazee, Minnesota, last Wednesday by a telegram which brought word that her brother had suffered a relapse and was in a serious condition. Later word was received that the young man had passed away, before his sister could reach his bedside. Mrs. Pearce has the sympathy of a host of friends in her sorrow.

We understand that Grandpa Wing failed to make final proof on his homestead while at the land office. This is a great surprise for everyone, for it was supposed that no one stood better to show than this gentleman. The trouble was that Mr. Wing was not residing on his homestead at the expiration of the first six months or for some time after. Owing to the strict methods adopted by the homestead laws Mr. Wing will have to live on his homestead another year before making final proof. We regret the circumstances very much for it has cost the gentleman a great deal of unnecessary expense, which might have been avoided, had we know how particular the department were in performing their duties.
