DIVIDING THE MoNEY.-The com.
mittee of the FIRE companies appointed
to receive from Mr.. E. S. Leadbeater
the 500 presented by the Standard Oil
Company to the members who did
actual service at the recent FIRE, met
Saturday night. It was decided to
give each company $3S. 33a. After the
money is equally apportioned each
man will get about $1.75. There is
said to be dissatisfaction among some
of the fremen as to the distribution, it
being a difficult matter to determine
who are active fremen. Some of tho g
interested are in favor of donating the
entire amount to the Alexandria L.
Urinary or to some other charitable in
stitution.
