office one day last week and found
waiting for him client named Hulett
from Ogdensburg. According to Mr..
Hulett's previous account OF some

shrewd and unscrupulous lawyers in

The little fellows are hitched to
sleds in company with full grown dogs
and to prevent them from being run
over they are tied by the neck to the
towlne, so that when the run starts
out they are compelled to keep up or
be dragged by the team. This sim
pie through brutal method of training
is very effective, and after one or
two runs the young dog understands
what is wanted OF him. Even before
he is full grown he is thoroughly con

Theatre Totally DESTROYED.

Lynn.-The Lynn theatre was to-
tally destroyed by fire May lS. The
loss will be about 100000, with in,
surance of about 100000.
A large part of the loss falls on
several stock companies which had
scenery stored in the building. This
was entirely consumed and very lit
tie insurance was carried on it.
How the fire started is mystery,
and an investigation is being conduct
ed to determine, if possible, the ex-
act cause of the blaze. At present
The fire is attributed to spontaneous
combustion, as it is asserted all elec-
.ric currents were shut off, and none

burned with amazing rapidity. With
in an hour after the first alarm the
entire building, except the front wall,
was consumed. There was great dan
ger of the fire spreading. and two
ing on State street, caught, but the
fire was practically confined to the
theatre building.
The kirkland House and several
other structures were repeatedly
threatened, and it is considered a
fortunate circumstance that the fire
did not spread and consume a large
amount of property. The firemen
worked valiantly, and several had mar.
row escapes from serious injury by
falling timbers as they held streams
Of water in the burning auditorium.
The theatre was Ii historic struc
ture. 1t was owned by the Gen. Ian
der Building association, composed OF
members OF post 5, G. A. r., and was
erected in 1882. Great fairs, balls and
public meetings were held within its
walls for the first few years and then
it was converted into a theatre, being
previously called the Coliseum.
