Daring the storm Sunday night, the
home of Mr. D O. Smith, of Hloney

completely destroyed by fir*.
Mr. Smith, It seems, had been In
the habit of making his home hls de
pository "for money for a number of
years, and atored about his house In
tin boxes was a large amount of
money. So pressed were he and hi*

save any article ofrurtiMiire, or even
the tin boxes containing their money,
'which th4y had been saving for many
(year); as a result the money, wns de-
Istroyed , „
After the fire, Mr. Smith sear fifed
through the ashen yesterday morning
nnd found the tins, and brought them

Tfglned, to the cashier of the. Wayne

A portion of (he money, according
to Mr. Smith, had. been In the po**e«-
slon of hls wife for more than forty
years.
Mr. Strbud expressed It n* hls op ! n

home Sunday night, and destroyed It
and all It contained.
There Is lltfle doubt, that If It had
been generally known that Mr. and
Mr*. Smith kept so large a sum of
money as reported to the hank, lhat
