Is Industry n Crime:
tor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
/ read with surprise the statement in
The Star of the 10Th that n Hebrew by
the name of Lyman Lewis, who is a shoe
maker was arrested and taken before the
Poll ice Court for buying old shoes, repairing
and selling them.
1t seems to me that instead of being ar
rested for this he ought to be compliment
ed and encouraged. Instead of becoming
a vaSrant and a charge on the public as
so many others do, he is industrious and
earning his support by his industry. The
idea of charging him, under such circum-
stances, with keeping an unlic ensed junk
shop strikes me as the very height of alb
surdIty and injustice. If the police can
not find any better employment they had
better be disbanded \ CITIZEN.

A. c. Buckcnberger was much surprised

For four years the citizens have felt reason

enough fire. The blaze was discovered Fri
day night at about 10 o'clock and the alarm
was at once sounded Chief Fry and
his men responded in an incredibly
short time, hut by the time they arrived at
the elevator the flames were beyond control.
The wind at the time was blowing Il stiff
breeze from the southeast, and sent sparks
and embers all over the east side Of town.
Seeing his work at the elevator was futile
the chief directed his mems attention to-
wards saving adjacent property, and it was
only by the hardest kind OF work that A.
BIerbach's saloon and the Elkhorn house
wert saved,
AT midnight the elevator and its contents,
&c, 600 bushels of grain, was a smoking ruin,
Mr.. Nolte estimates his loss on building and
contents ut $4,000, He carried no insurance.
The fire started in the engine room, and diff
