Automobile Fire Destroys White Property and Livestock
A leaking report says a loose automobile sparked a barn fire at the Durkee farm near New Underwood. Thirteen horses perished, twelve of them home stock belonging to local settlers. The Whites’ Mitchell automobile, brought to market only 15 months ago, was burned with other farm goods. Firefighters and locals fought to save the barn as winds shifted, narrowly preventing a larger town-wide disaster.

End of the 62nd Congress Adjourns in Washington
Washington Aug 22 The sixty second congress ended after an extra session of 121 days. President Taft and several tired lawmakers left for home as Washington grew comparatively deserted. Taft vetoed the tariff revision bill just like the earlier wool and free list measure. The veto was sent to the house and greeted with democratic laughter and republican applause. The Ways and Means committee will hold the veto until December when tariff revision is revisited. The mood was happy but the usual close of session vaudeville was missing. Taft spent time at the capital and was cheered by senators of all persuasions. At 6 02 the vice president’s gavel marked adjournment.
