The announcement that Marshal En-

This afternoon afidavits on certain

the victims, mel with families who
paid SIS or $40 TO procure work. The fee

Mr.. CRAUBER'S Fire..
One Barber Chair and a Boiled "
Shirt Ruined.
incidentally There Was a Fight and
and a Weeping Match.
Now the Boss Shaver Wants His
Insurance Money.

Barber Charles Grauber. who has a
little shop at lis Attorney street, had
his first experience with fire at 2
o'clock this morning. 1t caused him SO
much trouble, and hc caused so much
trouble in his excitement. that he is
likely to remember the day for n long
time.
The shop is only ten feet square, and Is
bacX of a shoe store. Grauber lives on
the floor above it. Formerly he had to
go through the shoe store and into the
street to get upstairs to dis rooms. He
thought that was too long a way. so he
cut a trap door in the floor, and now he
just drops from his room into the shop.
This morning he woke up and detected
the odor of smoke. He jumped from his
bed and awakened his family. Then he
took two of hts children under his arm,
his wife, Frederick, took the third, and
they got out of the house.
In the street they all yelled fire so lus-
tily that Policeman Bohm turned In an
alarm.
The tiremen responded in a few min
utes. When they broke into the burn,
ing shop they found Grauber's head
| barber and assistant fast asleep In the
smoke-flled place. The head barber is
Elias Horse, the assistant is Tony Was;
ener. They are usually called Horse and
with G%rauber, but being a stout man
one day he stuck fast In the trap door
| Since then he has slept downstairs.
The fremen got Horse out easy enough,
but they couldn't arouse Wagener. 80
they carried him out. Whether he was
overcome by the smoke. or only a sound
sleeper no one could say.
He revived, or woke up. as soon as ne
got into the cool air, and immediately
he possessed had been burned; As he
is only learning the barber BUSINESS,
end does not receive pay. he considered
his shirt not only a serious loss, out a
setback to his business prospects.
The fire had been In a barber chair,
caused evidently by a lighted cigar being
left In It, and was quickly e~xtinsuished.
While the ~fre-fighters were at work q
barber who lives AROUND the corner Ws ro pvt
to 20 around and work for him, and he
presented a new shirt to the unfortunate
man. This made Grauber angry. and
there was a free night between nm ana

and yelled "Fire!' The people ran out
into the halls. wild with, fright. They
blocked the Railways, climbed down nre-
escapes and ran madly into the street:
| Policemen Stahl and Bohm had all they
could do to quiet them.
Grauber explained that he only wanted
to let the people know there had been a
fire. He would have explained at
with a broom and suggested that he
shut up. So he c~ontented himself by
going to his room and writing a letter
to an insurance company asking thai
they pay his policy at once, as he would
like to continue business.
His loss Is SIS.
