Friday Night Bulb blamed in fire fatality Investigations by the state fire marshal into two fires in Fayette County which claimed two lives last week has led to the discovery of the cause of one of them. West Union fire officials said a faulty light bulb in the home of Mrs.

Florence McCauley of West Union apparently ignited some clothes in the closet, starting a smoldering blaze which eventually killed her. She was asleep in the home at the time. That fire occurred Friday. Her body was discovered by a nephew when he came over to visit her. There was heavy smoke damage to the house, but little actual damage from the blaze.

Meanwhile, fire officials still haven't determined the cause of a fire at a rural Westgate house which took the life of Richard Luther, 23, who was asleep in the house at the time of the fire. That fire occurred early Saturday morning, although the blaze was not noticed until close to 9 a.m. when the alarm was sounded by a passing motorist. The investigation is continuing into that blaze.

Arson charge for ivoman in Brandon INDEPENDENCE (Special) Diane Sue Brown, 22, of Brandon was taken into custody Wednesday and charged with alleged arson at the Golden Age Residential Care Facility in Brandon after an investigation by the Buchanan County Sheriff's Department and the state fire marshal's office.

Over 70 volunteers, clad in 1840's garb and practicing skills long forgotten by 20th century folks will demonstrate crafts and displaying wares at the Fort Atkinson Rendezvous.

Among the old-time skills that will be demonstrated are ropemaking, tinsmithing, egg decorating, silversmithing, loom beading, log trough hewing, shingle making, blacksmithing, soap making, and cooking in an iron kettle. The craftspeople will fashion items with tools similar to those used in the 1840's. Over 50 "buckskinners," a name given to early trappers that made a living by selling furs and trading for goods, will spread their trade blankets beside their tepees. In addition, contests between the buckskinners will be held, and daring spectators may participate says Kyle McGonigle, coordinator of the event. One contest planned is to see which team of two people can start a fire with flint and steel and cook a pancake the most quickly.

Demonstration muzzle shooting by the buckskinners is also a planned event.

The Turkey Foot Longrifles, the group presenting the play, will perform at least twice each day of the Rendezvous. Sponsored by the Iowa Development Commission, Iowa Conservation Commission and the Fort Atkinson community, the weekend event is the first part of a program designed to attract visitors to state-owned places that have little fame but great natural appeal. Fort Atkinson state preserve was chosen as the first site since part of the original fort is still standing and because the northeast area is rich in natural beauty when leaves are changing color, McGonigle explains. Visitors to the Fort Atkinson Rendezvous might also enjoy traveling to other nearby attractions during the weekend, he added. Some of those within less than one hour's drive of the fort include Effigy Mounds; Spillville's clock museums; world's smallest church; Montauk, a restored Iowa governor's home; Little Brown church; Norwegian museum, and Lidtke Mill.

There will be no admission charge to the fort, displays or play performances for the weekend. Camping facilities will also be available. The Fort Atkinson community is providing parking facilities, concessions and a shuttle bus service as well as hosting a variety of other events in conjunction with the fort's activities.
