Roswell had another fire early this
morning. few minutes after three
O'Clock her sleeping citizens were
disturbed by the firing of guns and
revolvers. and a few minutes later
the fire alarm sounded. The fire
was discovered to be at 210 Main
street in the building owned by G..
F. Bixby and occupied by the d. w.
Scott grocery store The origin of the
fire is not known
The fire was discovered by Judge
F. H. Lea who lives just back of
the building and who saw the
the building. Mr.. Scott and his clerk
Virgil Russell were sleeping in the
building above the store, and when
they awakened the entire house was
filled with smoke, and each had a
narrow escape with his life. Mr.
Scott attempted to save his books
and some of the stock, but the heat
was too intense for him to enter
that far into the store room. The
store were stolen from the street
almost as soon as they were taken
out
The fire company arrived in
very short time after the alarm was
turned in and did most effective
work Roswell has every reason to
be proud of her efficient fire depart
ment Too much cannot be said in
praise of their efforts last night. By
work they kept the flames confined
to the building in which it origina-
ted Plenty of water was available
from The Register well.
G. F. Bixby, the owner of the
building. suffered a loss of probably
So 500 with an insurance of $4,000.
Mr.. SCOTS stock was insured for
only about half its value The insu-
rance was about $4,000 on this and
the stock is a complete loss.
The loss suffered by Price & Co..
whose store is just north of the bur-
ned building has not yet been esti-
mated Much of their stock was dam
aged by water as the hose was taken
through the front of their store
and much of the time the
flames were fought from the window
in the south of their store room.
John B. Kipling, whose saloon is
just south of the burned building
also suffered loss of stock much of
it being carried from the building
Insurance adjusters have been
wired for and will soon be here to
make settlement with those who suf
fered loss.
The store of Price & Co has been
closed today on account of the fire
Mr. Bixby intends to rebuild at once.

Washington. Mar. 1O.-President
Roosevelt after conference with
Secretary Hay issued an executive
order today respecting the observ
ance of the proclamation recently
promulgated regarding the neutrali-
ty of the United States between
Russia and Japan. The order says
in part: ''All the officials of the gov
ernment, civil military and naval
are hereby directed to not only OBJ
serve the Presidents proclamation
of neutrality in the pending war be-
tween Russia and Japan, but also to
abstain from either action or speech
which can legitimately cause criti-
cism about either of the combat
ants" Continuing he says that such
a war must inevitably increase the
susceptibilities of the combatants to
anything in the nature of injury or
slight by an outsider, and it is un-
fortunate to bring old world antlp-
athies and jealousies into our life,
or by speech or conduct to excite
anger and resentment towards our
nation in friendly foreign lands, but
In the government employ the mis-
chief of such action is greatly in
creased. In closing the President
says: "All officials, government. civ
il, military and naval are expected
to so carry themselves in act and
in deed as give no cause of just
offense to the people of any foreign
power, and with all mankind we are
now in friendship"
Shanghai. Mar. 10-It is said the

Toxic, Mar 10.-Admiral Kamimu-
ra, reporting the bombardment of
vladivostock on March 9Th, says the
attack commenced at ten minutes to
two in the afternoon, and the firing
was kept up for forty minutes. 1t is
believed that the bombardment was
effective and demoralizing to the
enemy. The Russian forts did not
reply to the Japanese fire. The ia
panese cruisers subsequently recon-
noitered several adjacent places on
