number of people in this part Of the
city attended a fire last night at the
Thirteenth street. Some went in car

walked. The alarm was sounded about
$50 and many who attended the fire
had just returned from church, conse-

ness; hence the affair will be quite a
surprise to him when he returns. Mrs.
Blank wore a light percale kimono and

chiefs hat was ornamented with an
brass spike, which stuck up
above his head like a horn, giving him
