FIRST NATIONAL BANK
IS MOVING TODAY
VIII Occupy Temporary Quarters in
Rear of Its Building While New
Fixtures are Being Installed. This
VIII Occupy About a Month.

The First National bank will move
today to the temporary quarters in
the rear of the building where they
viii remain until the fine new fixtures
which are to replace the old ones are
put in.
For the time being the fixtures that
were used by the postofice department
prior to the time the office was moved
to the new federal building will be
used by the bank as the fixtures which
the bank has been using have been
sold to the new Hegewisch bank.
1t is estimated that it will take a
month to install the new fixtures and
of course the employees of the bank
viii be greatly inconvenienced while
the change is being made.
When the First National bank is
finally settled in it's larger quarter the
rooms in the rear of the building will
be occupied by VIII C. Nee and the
rooms vacated by VIII Nee will be
used by the proprietors of the Maine
restaurant.
Paul Vedder has been employed as
an addition to the working force OF
the bank.

VERA MCDONALD NOT
MEANT TO DIE
Child Has Narrow Escape
While Playmates
Look On.

Vera Mcdonald, seven-year-old
school girl. had one of the narrowest
escapes from death this afternoon that
has occurred for some time.
Just before school was called the lit
tie girl was playing in the street In
front Of the Central school building
and, not noticing an approaching street
car. continued walking directly in
front of it just on the edge of the
tracks. G. r. Spriggs. who was run
ming the car, seeing the little girl paid
no attention to the ringing of the
gong, applied the brakes just as the
child stepped in front of the car.
The fender struck her on the arm,
causing her to fall directly in front Of
the car, but by this time the car had
stopped and she was picked up and
carried to the sidewalk. where DIR. Weis
examined her injuries. They were
very slight. consisting of slight
scratch on the head and a small bruise
on her left arm.
Motorman Spriggs said it was one
of the narrowest escapes he had ever
witnessed and had he not succeeded In
stopping the car when he did, the little
girl would surely have been run over

WILD PANIC IN THE BUILDING
Many Women Have to Climb Fire Es-
capes-ThriIIing Rescue.

The fire started at a few minutes
before in the basement, in a quantity
of twine in the Montgomery Ward
store room, close to the elevator. Ten
flames began shooting up the elevator
shaft, and all escape save by the fire
escapes was shut off. The halls quick
" filled with a dense, suffocating
smoke, and ten minutes later when
the first fire apparatus arrived on the
scene, people crowded almost every
window appealing for help. while
scores of others-mostly women and
girls-filled the fire escapes and were
climbing wildly TO the ground.
Inside the widest panic prevailed.
When the alarm of fire was first sound
ed the women in the Atheneum rooms
considered that q joke was being per-
petrated, and no effort was made TO
leave. A moment later, as the room
filed with smoke, there was a wild
scramble for the exits. After the first
rush for the hallway, which had now
become so filled with smoke that es-
cape there was impossible, they were
driven back to the windows facing LO-
Gust and Ninth streets. There was but
one fire escape on this end of the
building and this was quickly filed
with wildly excited women.
