James j. Jenries in "a Man from the

The extreme eat OF yesterday did not
prevent two large audiences from gather
ing in the Park Theater at the matinee
and night performances TO see Champion
Jefries in his new role of a theatrical
star. "A Man from the West is the
unique title OF the new melodrama written
for the great pugilist by Clay M. Greene,
and the play is full of interesting and
striking situations. i'm addition TO being
well written. People who went to see JEFF
fries with the expectation of enjoying a
hearty laugh at sight Of a prize fighter at
tempting to act and making a wretched
failure were agreeably disappointed. As
the big, powerful. gOod-natured bashful
hero, Mr.. Jefries Is really very clever. He
IS not continually telling the audience what
a powerful fellow he is, but makes a prac-
teal demonstration OF the fact occasional

A SUNDAY FIRE.
Another Blaze on the South Side
Given That Locality Clcse Call.

At two o'clock Sunday after
noon IL fire alarm brought an I'M
mense crowd to Dr.. g. w. Rom
ages barn, i.ich was aol We in
the hay loft. Seven men went
up into the toft attempting to eX-
tingulsh the fire, but having
nothing to do practical fire hight
ing with, We're compelled to give
it up and fee from the barn to
save them sclycs.
In the meantime II force OF
men had been ut work saving
what they could from the lower
story of the barn. Thy succeed
ed in getting out The horses. car
riages, harness, and Il faw other
articles, all OF the iced, with
which the barn had just been
filled for winter, was lost.
It seemed for time that the
entire business portion OF South
Main street was doomed TO dis
truction by fire, but Il supply OF
blankets and ralquantlty OF
water judicially used kept THE
fire from spreading beyond the
barn, and in very short time
there was nothing left but pile
of ashes. There Was no insur.
ance on the property. DR.. Rem
age states that ii was about the
only property he owned that was
not insured.
This is the third fire that has
visited our city Within the past
seven weeks, and like the other
two, it's origin is a mystery. 1t
is said that Il man was seen des-
cendiny from the loft window
just after the alarm Was given,
and the supposltion is that a
tramp had gone into the lott to
sleep and had for some purpose
lit a match from which the hay
caught tire.
