Mac- Keuzie, Buffalo, son of Postmaster MacKenzle here, was totaliv destroy- ed by lire which originated in the ad- joinin; house, and spread with such lightning speed that nothing of value could be saved.

There was only a small insurance. “'6 extend our sympathy to the sufferers. 11‘ was Saturday evening, the peace- ful closing of an uneventful week ihe sun was sinking in the west, the twittering birds had gone to rest and no sounds were to be heard but the carolling of the trons lulling the the weary laborer to the land of nod.

Their celestial ccgita- tions at once assumed a belligerent cast. “Do or die" was the watch- word and at once the bloody battle began. Nothing in history so appal- ling has been recorded since the days of Nero. The father waded in and one after another in rapid succession the enemy fell before his unerring blow, t ntil thirteen'bloody forms lay dead and dying at his feet. The younger here, not to be outdone by his father, and possessing greater ri‘glllty, now that his blood was up, ladded seventy-four to the number lkilled and mortally wounded. But lthe awful carnage didn’t end here. lNext morning during the canonical hours a relief eXpedition in search of their fallen comrades was attacked by a few scouts and twentyothree more fall before their deadly aim.
