GLAZE IN A BARBERSHoP

Last night was a busy one for the
fire department About II o'clock an
alarr, of fire was turned in from the
neielborhood of Fifth avenue and Main
street on account of a blaze in Jerry
Williams barber shop. IN some un-
known manner the rear Of the shop
had caught en- fire The fire depart

property by using buckets of water, 1t
not being necessary to bring the hose
into play.
It took only a few minutes to ex-
fingaisl, this blaze and the two com
panies returned to their respective sta
tions.
The hose wagon of company No. i

when the firemen observed brilliant
illumination in the southeast part OF
the e;ty. Without waiting for an alarm
to come in, though it was received just
as the fremen drove out of the house,
they started for the scene of the fire.
Upon arriving at the fire they found
TIE home of Mr. Charles A. Dellmon
already completely enveloped in flames
and the Rouse next door, owned by
T Mr Dewitt Hope, on fire. In few
minutes the Dellmon home was com
plet1iy Quilted and all household eff

that it was impossible, with the facili-

try. and has assisted on some of the
most important committees in the
grand lodge. He is a business man in
Helena. In leaving the grand lodge
he was accorded the floor to say
few words to the members. He urged
the young men to be true as tne faith
ers, to live honorable and upright lives
and to be true to themselves and their
families. He spoke of the advant-
ages of the young negro of today, IN

those of his race who were born in
the dark days of slavery "It is your
duty to get something, to keep some
thing and to be something. If you
young men want the world to respect
you, seek you, then you must get some
thing the world wants. You must be
producers as we'll as consumers. The

kept busy the remainder of the win
