his class, afterwards studied law and
was for a time assistant to the late
DIR. Manning in the instruction of the
University Law School. For several
years he has been the secretary and

There were several candidates for
the position, but Mr.. Biggs' appoint
ment has been discounted by the pro-

postponed some weeks ago, it being
understood that the court was waiting
the adjournment of the General AS,
sembly, of which Mr.. Biggs was q
member, before making the appoint

gan in 1894, and ceased in 1898.

An early morning fire yesterday
about four O'Clock destroyed the store
occupied by MIR. j. p. Benson beyond

was known as the "Old Ferrall build
ing
The building was a frame one, with
dwelling attached which was not occu-
pied. There was no one in the store
or dwelling when the fire started and
there is a suspicion that it was of in
cendiary origin.
The entire contents of the store.
groceries, merchandise. feed and
grain were valued at over $500 and
tho building was worth some 5000 or
$500 1t was beyond the city limits
and the reach of the fire departments.
Mr.. Benson's loss is entire as he had
no insurance. His entire accumuia-
ton was in the stock and the loss is
great misfortune to him.
