JOLLY JUDGE JONES
Talks Entertalningly About Clubs
 and Their Meetings.

As we arrived at the office of Judge Jones this morning we were fortunate enough to be on time to hear some of his up-to-date wit. The Judge is, as most people already know, an entertainer of no mean ability.
 Speaking of clubs and Modern Journalism,e the Judge said, That a newspaper when it is on your side is all right, but when it is against you it is all right-for somebody else"
 Recentlythe Judge was asked to make a speech on Modern Journalism in this-eity, at2which time he gave vent to the following: Mans a, vapor, full of woes; starts a paper up he goes" The Judge claims this to be origiual. We do not believe however he gave vent to such senti- ment from the school of experience.

4 FLAMELESS FIRE WAS THAT OF THE RUSSELL GROCERY co. AND PACIF-
 lC EXPRESS HOUSES. BRAVE TREATMENTS WORK. Russell Bros. Loss $2o,ooo An Explosion Aided the Fire
 in It's Awful Work.
BRAVE FlREMEN'S WORK

Thursday night at 11:50 SIX. shots rang out on the midnight air; they were fired by Mir. Sandefur Currie, an officer of the city. They announc- ed fire, which but few moments afterwards proved to be one of the most damaging and hardest for the firemen to fight In the history of our city.
 The scene of the fire was the Rus sell Bros. wholesale grocery house 5on Pine street, near Fourth avenue. 4 The alarm was turned In by Paul Morris. The fire was first discover ed by Chas. Jones.
 The fire department arrived on the scene few minutes after the alarm. All the hose that could be used or bad was there. From four plugs the hose was stretched, two of them across the tracks of the Iron Noun tain railroad.
 The t1remen under Chief Senyard did some of the finest work ever witnessed in this city. They proved themselves to be heroic men and worthy the name of firemen and the emoluments that come lfrom such a position.
 How the fire started no one knows. It was the opinion of all, however, that it had it's origin in Russell Bros. Grocery. It started under the roof and wended it's way under the roofs ot the Pacific Ex, press Company and under Russell Bros Grocery. The entire block was ua mass of smoke; once in 8 while spark of fire could be seen. The city looked like great fog was oyer it. The Merrill Hook and Lad der Go. proved most valuable ad- dition to the fire company and dem onstrated their usefulness. While the fremen fought in front with a poor pressure of water the hook and ladder boys fought it ia the rear.
 When the fire was about half gone freight train pulled in on the Val ley from Little Rock. The crowd was so busted about moving articles out of the adjoining buildings, namely, the Pacific Express Go. and A. Brewster & Son, that no one no- ticed the oncoming of the train.
 Fin ally MT. James Goodwin, a young engineer on the Cotton Belt, rushed over to the tanks with a lamp in his hand and Jagged the train in this manner, thus saving two of the lines for the fire compa- ny.
 It was at an early hour when the fire was out and this morning the firemen could be seen still at work. The Pacific Express Co saved ev- erything.
 The Russell Bros. grocery was a total loss. They lad a stock of $20,0O0. They were insured for $12,000 with the following firms: Geo. M. Wells & Co.,, Tankers!y < Roberts, R. H. M. Mills & Sons, and Bell & Vernon.
 Mr. H. E. Russell while in eonver- sation with a Graphic representa- tive this morning said: .We have been in business 4 years; wholesale business since last Au- gust. Our loss is total. We can and will pay all our liabilities just the same as if we never had dollar of insurance. We will start in business again in about 4 days.
 Our brave 6remen each deserve a

THE FIRST NIGHT
Oceanic Athletic Club a
Success.
Large Audience Well Satisfied With
the Excellent Performance
Given Last Night.

The Oceanic Athletic Club is now
fairly launched, and, it would seem,
upon sea Of success. Certainly its
opening entertainment last night and
the hearty encouragement given on all
sides was such as would afford strong
foundation for hopes of prosperity.
1t was a representative gathering
that surrounded the roped arena when
the first call of time was sounded.
Among the spectators could be seen
lawyers, doctors, government officials.
capitalists, and Of course, the true,
dyed-in-the-wool sport.
The bouts were conducted in a clean,
sportsmanlike manner which augurs
good for the club. In many instances
some remarkably clever work was
done. Again,-it was evident that the
material was there and all that was
needed was somebody to bring it out.
so that there was no tedium between
acts. Frank Vida performed the
duties Of referee in a most satisfac-
tory manner for all the bouts.
The first event was a six-round go
between Carney and Sullivan. Both
stood up to their work in good fashion,
but it was easily apparent that Carney
was the more clever man He was
awarded the decision.
Next came what wa sprobably as in
teresting as anything of the evening,
an eight-rOund bout between the two
bantams, o. Kreuter and J. Decker.
Both showed remarkable cleverness,
speed and stamina. They were on the
Jump from their first entrance to the
wind-up and were loudly app1auded.
Declared draw.
The skip rope dancing Of H. Lyndon,
of the Australian dramatic company
ives a revelation and a reputation was
demanded. Mr.. Lyndon possesses the
title of champion of Australia.
Post and Marion appeared in a clever
sketch in which they burlesqued the
legitimate. The enthusiastic applause
testified that the clever comedians
were thorough favorites with every
man present.
Two soldiers OF the Artillery, Con-
ners and Blake, pummeled each other
in good shape for four rounds. Draw
At this juncture one of the promo
tiers took the center Of the ring and
in a we'll delivered talk explained the
origin, the possibilities and the aims of
the club.
The entrance of the principals in the
event of the evening was the signal for
an outburst of applause. This feature
was a ten-round bout between Martin
Denny, Austra1ia's lightweight cham
pion, and Jim Picketts of local fame.
The advantage in size was with Pick
etts, but this was offset by Denny's
speed, skill and generalship. Picketts
stood up to his man in good shape, but
in the third round the pace was too
hot and his seconds threw up the
sponge.
The hall had been tastefully decor
ated with Hawaiian and American
flags and presented neat appearance.
