He became thirsty, and seeing a jug near by began to drink supposing it to be water. The jug contained fluid for spraying trees, made out of one pound of arsenic and for pounds of soda to the gallon, and was left in the orchard by mistake. After drinking this poison Jackson could only get to the road, where he was found about 7 p.m. by William Davis, who helped to take him to a house near by, when a doctor was called, but all to no avail. The deceased could give little information of himself or of his friends, as he was too far gone. He let them know that he had a mother in Kansas. The only paper found upon his person was a receiver's receipt given at Boise for a homestead entry.

M. Buchanan, who recently left for Nebraska, and who died at Lincoln, Nebraska, March 4, was a member of the Woodman lodge at New Plymouth and his beneficiary Mrs. Buchanan, is left $2,000. The home paper of the deceased writes of him as follows: "D. M. Buchanan was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, March 16, 1843. With his parents he moved to Wisconsin in 1860 and while living there was married to Clarissa Harris. Unto them were born seven sons, five of whom are still living. He moved to Boone county, Nebraska, in 1880 and settled on a most beautiful piece of school land four miles south of Albion. A few years ago he sold this and not so very long after this the minds of both he and his wife seemed to be so affected that they were sent to the asylum. After a few months he apparently regained his normal condition, came home and then went west. Returning to Nebraska early this year he appeared quite well and rational but in a few days was worse than ever, and was tak! en to Lincoln, where he died March 4th. About three months ago Mrs. B. returned home and it was hoped they could spend the remainder of their days together. But this reunion was of short duration."

New Plymouth Again Looses by Fire, This time Loss Reaches $7,000 TWO THOUSAND INSURANCE New Plymouth people have lately been obliged to view the destruction by fire of two of the village's most valuable properties, representing a loss of nearly $11,000, one-third of which has been recovered in insurance. The second catastrophe, which occurred early last Tuesday afternoon, was the burning of the fruit evaporator and packing house commonly termed the "dryer." The only trace of the once treasured plant of the New Plymouth fruit growers now remaining is the smoke stack and a heap of ashes. Gus Ingalls and Joe Creel first noticed the fire. They were emptying the fruit trays, and Mr. Ingalls remarked rather in fun that he smelled smoke, and glancing down to the bottom of the oven both saw even more than smoke. The sill above the hot brick covering the furnace had ignited, at which sight Mr. Ingalls, Mr. Creel and Will Duborko spread the alarm and ran for the hose. Mr. Field and the half dozen women who were in the packing room soon arrived on the scene and all did splendid service but the difficulty in getting at the fire was so great that the flames were soon beyond control, and as the people began to arrive they could render assistance only in moving boxes of fruit from the building. The deep, dark smoke from the burning fruit was a bewildering sight and could be seen for miles around. Joe Creel and Will Duborko were credited with exceptional gallantry in putting out the fire. In talking with Mr. Field, the manager for the New Plymouth Fruit Growers' Association, he claims that the total loss on died and fresh fruit amounts to about $2,000, and boxes and sundries will increase this amount to $2,500. The "dryer" itself cost $4,000, and the packing house recently added, $300, making a total of $4,300. The loss to building and contents both is $6,800. The principal losers of fruit inside the dryer were Messrs. Field, Carrier, Ingalls, Lill and Mrs. Schmid, who lost all their dried prunes, amounting to several thousands of pounds. Mr. Niswander and Marnoch & Loveland also lost a large quantity of apples, the exact amount of which has not yet been determined. Two or three tons of peaches and pears which had been dried for individuals not belonging to the company were all carried out and saved. This represented a value of $500. The losers on the evaporator were the twenty-four stockholders in the New Plymouth Fruit Growers' Association, the loss ! being proportionate to the number of shares of stock owned by the members. The insurance of $2,000 would of course reduce the loss of the stockholders fifty per cent. We give the names of the stockholders as follows: C. S. Loveland - 40 shares Brown & Shaw - 40 shares Mrs. Rose Schmid - 24 shares P. R. Ketchum - 20 shares D. R. Carrier - 20 shares D. W. Ross - 20 shares W. E. Hill - 20 shares J. W. Lill - 15 shares Clyde Mastellar - 15 shares Hart - 15 shares J. R. Field - 13 shares John and H. C. Dillon - 12 shares A. H. Sundles - 10 shares Calvin Niswander - 8 shares A. Meyer - 5 shares Ringer, A. C. - 3 shares The inconvenience of not having the evaporator to market the remainder of the crop in the orchards increases the loss of the fire to the fruit growers. In the face of more than ordinary reverses experienced by our fruit men the past year Tuesday's calamity seems indeed discouraging. It would seem that it would be a dampener on the enthusiasm and hopes of our fruit men. But in talking to the stockholders we find that they are not despairing over their misfortune. They view the matter with comparative good humor. They claim to be good for all liabilities against the company, and many express the hope that the evaporating plant will be rebuilt larger and better than before, with the addition of a cannery and vinegar factory to utilize the enormous amount of by-products which go to waste here each year. The fruit raisers of the Payette bench should be optimistic. There is a brighter day coming. The railroad rates will have to come down and the methods of marketing the fr! uit at the other end will be arranged for in another year or two, and in the course of a few years the troubles of the fruit man will have faded in the mists of past history.
