1t was explained to the visitors that mar

glars would make an attempt to rob the
houses left unprotected by occupants who
had gone to the scene of the fire. If such
thieving was done there were no reports
received up to midnight to indicate 1t. The
police of the city were we'll pleased WIN

With sigh Of mingled contentment
