Another Victim OF Joseph a. poilah.

Editor Caste: l learn through
your paper Of the unsavory practices of
Joseph Bellah and wife. He called
upon me about three months ago, on a
Sunday, said he had just received a
telegram that his mother-in-law was at
the point of death somewhere in the
State of New York; that he had several
checks in his possession, but had ne
elected to cash them Saturday and that
he needed to start at once or his mother
in.law would be dead before he could
arrive, and declared if l would let him
have the money to get there he would
send it to me the next day. l did SO,
and have not seen or heard from the
said Joseph H. Bellah or his mother-in-
law since. / certainly hope she died if
her son-in-law and daughter have taken
to preying upon poor preachers for a
livelihood, as your other information
would seem to imply.

Norma Glee Club furnished music in the
evening
AT 9.45 o'clock. when the closing hymn
was being sung, a fire alarm was sounded
from the Robbins Hose building which
adjoins tile church. Immediately the
congregation fastened to leave the church,
but in an orderly manner.
The fire was supposed to be at the rail
road depot, and the two hose companies
and hook and ladder truck were soon at
that place, but no fire was found or any
signs of it. 1t was afterwards learned that
chimney of little house on Klrkwood
street was on fire and some boys began
yelling an alarm.
