About o'clock yesterday morning Mr..
Knobloch visited Mr. Torreyson AMI
he stated that he was greatly improv-
ed and expected to be down town the
following day and attend to his du-
ties at the office. A few minutes az
ter the conversation he complained
of being i'll, and almost before medical
assistance could be summoned he hal
passed to the great beyond. Heart
disease is supposed to have been the
cause Of death

best known attorneys Of this State

TWO SMALL FIRES
AND A FALSE ALARM

Between 2:5e and o'clock yesterday
afternoon three alarms were sounded
from fire boxes.
One proved to be false alarm. caused
by the grounding OF a wire on the fire
alarm circuit The others were turned
in for slight fires.
Twenty dollars was the damage to
the wood shed in the rear of r Street
northwest. The house was occupied by
Edith Cronin. The alarm was struck
from box 623.
The second fire alarm was sounded
from box SIS. When the fTemen re-
sponded they found no fire. They ex-
amined the alarm box and discovered
that the glass over the ksyhole had
not been broken. and came to the con-
clusion that the alarm had been sounded
by the grounding of a wire. This proved
to be true.

1893 K Street southeast, was set afire
