Captain Fred Keyc, who came home
from Manila some days ago, has received
word that his leave of absence had been
extended until Dec. 5 and his resignation
had taken effect on that date. This will
create a vacancy in the official roster of
Company B, and Lieutenant Geary is
next in line for promotion and Hildreth
will be first lieutenant if seniority is OBJ
served in the advancement Of officers
which is probable.
Fire was discovered late last night in
the vacant room between Gussner's store
at the corner of Fifth and Main streets
and Herbert's meat market. The blaze
had obtained a good Roadway before dis
covered but a number of tiremen re-
sponded from the dance that was in pro-
gress and soon had the flames under
control. There was no fire in the O
from which the flames could have
caught, and the blaze was evidently in
cendiary and the early discovery of the
fire and prompt response of the fircmcn
saved the building from destruction and
probably a good share of the block.
