he heroe of the fire. Brothers at st
Stanislaus College say he saved their
building, which several times was or
fire.
Prof. A. Weinberg, optician, has Sc
cured quarters in the building owned
and partly occupied by Pasqual Lutzzi,
Front head of Washington streets. His
X-ray machine and other instruments
were saved, but large part of MS stock
and household effects, including al
wearing apparel, shared the one fate of

formerly occupied by E. J. Gex. His

J. w. Watts lost the contents of his
machine shop, including gasoline en-
CINE recently installed. He carried no
insurance and estimates his loss at
about $4,000. He has re-established
his business on the ground floor of the
building used by the erstwhile Bay st.
Louis Steam Laundry.
**
John Osoinach for the present has no
definite plans until he will have cashed
his insurance policies. He is experience
ing little difficulty with the customary
cred tape" methods of insurance COM
panies but will doubtless come out sue
cessful in recovering part of his heavy
loss. ~
Thos. L. Evans carried $500 insur-
ance, and estimates his loss up in the
thousands; not one article saved from
his store. Mr.. Evans has leased the
Edwards building, formerly occupied
by the Coast Furniture C Supply Co.,
and will reopen business as soon as he
can get complete stock together. Mr..
Evans says prior to the fire his busines S
was for sale and several Jlmes he had
entertained serious offers, but since then
local friends have proven themselves
so numerous and their sympathy SO sub
stantial and sincere that he feels no such
people with more generous impulse of
the heart exist elsewhere and he would
feel ungrateful to now leave Bay Saint
Louis. -
Fl. DeS. Gillum is permanently locat-
ed in the Echo Bldg, ground floor, for
merly occupied by the Merchants Bank,
where he is daily replenishing and add
ing to his varied stock. He has a con-
signment of groceries in transit and i'll
sell this additional line of merchandise
in the future. Mr. Gillum and his friends
are particularly pleased with his hand
some and commodious new quarters.

Manager r. L. Genin and his assist
ants are temporarily located in the store
building on Front street, head of Book
ter avenue, connecting Bay st. Louis
with long distance telephone service. In
the next two weeks Mr.. Genin intends
to have the Cumberland Company well
quartered in its new home on the second
floor of the Echo Bldg.

Mrs. L. U. Planchet lost six separate
properties - estimated value, $4,000;
total insurance, $500. Mrs. Planchet
and family are temporarily domiciled in
the Bookter cottage. corner Front street
and Bookter avenue, expecting to move
to New Orleans shortly. Not positively
decided to rebuild or sell the vacant
lands.
The Echo's account of the fire was
complete and accurate. Comparatively
speaking, only few hours had elapsed
when the paper had gone to press and
was on the streets, the first newspaper
story to appear. Over one hundred extra
copies were printed and not one COPY
left for sale. The complimentary allu-
sions made to The Echo's account and
the early hour of it's appearance are
gratifying to the publisher, and is g
most valuable contribution to prestige
and an asset that is most satisfactory.
