When the fire was discovered, about 10:45, it had gained such headway that it was impossible for the volunteer firemen to get to the burning building, although it was known that the old man was within. When the body was picked up out of the ashes it could not be held together and was absolutely unrecognizable. The cottage, owned by the aged gentleman, stood near the B. B. & B. C. railroad depot, in the heart of town. The origin of the blaze is not known, but as there were no hot fires in the stove the opinion is advanced that the old man may have in some way upset a coal oil lamp or lighted a match for some purpose or other, from which the building caught fire. Mr. BENJAMIN had resided here for many years and was known and well thought of by nearly everyone residing in this vicinity. Aside from the two already mentioned he leaves a son, residing near here, and also a daughter, Mrs. LIBERTY, who resides in the country near this place. May 9, 1905:
