AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
A False Alarm of Fire and a Hand
Grenade Bombardment.

9InDardulen
At about IL O'Clock last evening the
visitors at the Catholic fair were sur
prised by the unannounced appearance
of o hatless man with his eyes bullying
from their sockets, his hair erect, and
his arms full of fire grenades. The man
entered the hall on q trot, and after
| reaching the centre Of the throng he
yelled "hre." There was an immediate
response to the alarm in a concert
screech from every lady in the house,
and q stampede followed the cutlery.
At the moment of the appearance of the
human "a fire engine, G tender young
man was whispering some
thing very interesting to a young lady
oH in one corner of the room, which
caused a red hot blush to mantle her
fair cheeks and the surrounding atmos.
phere. The man with the grenades
located the fire in that corner and I'M
mediately fred a grenade at the object.
The missile struck the wall near the head
of Emmett O'Brien, who had not reali-
zed before the cause OF all the row.
MIR. O'Brien, with his usual presence OF
mind, made a dive for other quarters,
aud as he was about to seek shelter be.
meath d table an excited lady grabbed
him round the neck and asked
him 10 preserve her life, Emmett replied
"Wby cert. There's room enough for
two" And they both crawled in under
the table. Mark De Camp left his fam
Ivy to slide down the north stairs, while
he vent back into the hall for the
carriage blankets he had won. AS he
entered the door. Clarence Cox, the man
with the grenadcs, was engaged in
thro wing the extingulshers at the red
blankets to put them out. De Camp
yelled at him to stop, and be received as
center of his anatomy. The fire de-
partment by this time had run out OF
grensdes and left via a window
and down o post for the Morrison house
for a fresh supply. When he returned
not a person was in the bali, except those
two under the table, who were engaged
IN prayeriul u]tterauces and alternately
yelling for help. Ed. Kearney carries a
badly bruised hand from the effects OF
trying to ave an old set of cog wheels
that were used in navigating Noah's arh
and were on exhibition as q curiosity
at the fair. The Cause of the panic Is
said to have been the discovery of hot
air rushing from the hall proper out into
the cold atmosphere where it became
visible. No serious results are reported,
but much amusement was furnished, Tor
those who were cool enough to see
things as they were. However if all the
ways of egress had not been opened
promptly there might have been some
broken bones.
