Western New York are giving up good po-
sitions putting their all into outfits ana

match which ignited the rapidly spreading
flames of excitement. In less than ten min
utes after Frazer landed in his native town,
800 persons had surrounded him and lie was
kept busy answering questions until 4
o'clock next morning. Frazer talked Will
ingly enough about his experience. but
about his own future was reucent-
Il am satisfied was the most that could
be drawn from him. Perhaps this retlcence
