Several of the promising young citi-
zens of this city are very desireous of be-
coming acquainted with tho Central
City young damsels. The most import
ant object is to secure girls to escort to
the big flower dance in this city few
weeks hence. One of Central's popular
young clerks in the grocery line is con-
Quoting an employment agency, prob
ably he can accommodate them.
Last Friday evening the trippers of
the light fantastic enjoyed themselves
immensely at the tiremen's annual ball.
Siggel's orchestra of Denver furnished
the music. Dancing commenced about
nine o'clock. The grand march was con-
Quoted by Fritz j. Altvater and was
very intricate and interesting. The
merry making was kept up until about
four the next morning. Supper was
served by the Degree of Pocahontas and
was certainly the best ever. The ladies
cleared about $50 on the supper.
| Last Sunday morning about one
o'clock the fire whistle began blowing,
waking up most of the citizens of the
city, who upon getting up and rushing
out found the old building just across
the street from Neil Burroughs consect-
ionery store all ablaze. 1t seems that
several young people were returning
from the Owl dance in Central when
they noticed bright light in the build
ing and knowing that it was not occu-
| pied, investigated with the result that
| they found the whole inside on fire.
They turned in an alarm and it was only
a few minutes before the firemen ap-
peared who could have overcome the
flames but thought it would be better to
leave it burn as the council had con-
demned and ordered it torn down at
their last meeting. The firemen's efforts
were directed solely to the saving Of the
adjoining buildings which they did most
admirably, and should be complimented
upon their quick arrival and good work.
The fire is thought to be the work of
incendiarys with malice or enmity
towards the firemen and it resulted the
same as most knocking does and should
do, giving the people better opinion of
the ones knocked against.
