1ennett's Recomm en dation.

Mayor George Ward
 Dear Sir-The fire department was called at 12:50 this morning to extinguish a small fire, which occurred at 2320 Sec ond avenue. The building is one-story, of concrete block and brick construction. 15 feet wide by 3S feet lont, the east wall and rear being of brick, the west wall and front of concrete block. This be- ing our first experience with fire in a building of the concrete block construc- ton, and the result being so alarming, I rect wide by 3S feet long, the east wall garding this material be taken at once. The fire was confined to the rear portion of the house and only required a small amount of water to extinguish it en- tirely, yet the concrete portion of the building was so cracked and warped that it is necessary to brace liberally in or der to make 1t even comparatively safe for the merchant to remove his stock, and it is little short of miraculous that the entire crew of firen1en were not seri- ously injured or killed outright by having the ceiling and the ceiling joists pre- cipitated upon their heads without d moments warning.
 '"The building inspector informs me that the material and workmanship of the concrete block portion of this house will compare favorably with others of the same kind in the city. If this be the case, by allowing this construction in the city, especially in the fire limits, we are increasing rather than decreasing the fire hazard and subjecting the fire department to dangers that will be ex- tremely difficult to avoid.
 A"In view of the above facts, I would earnestly recommend that no further permits be issued for buildings of this kind until the same is thoroughly investi- gated by the authorities.

Sioux Falls Press: Former senator
PettigreW has presented to the Mason
ic library a walrus boat, made by the
Alaskan Indians and used BY the I'm in
seal and walrus hunting. The boat is
one Of the few in the United States
and as a curiosity it is we'll worth a
visit to the Masonic. building. 1t is
about Is feet long, of graceful lines is
covered with Walrus hyde, equipped,
and in the exact condition as used by
the hardy natives of Alaska who put
out to seaSand fish and hunt fearlessly
in these little cockelshell crafts, per-
forming feats with the paddle that are
unequalled by canoists anywhere.
The senator obtained the boat in 1901
in Alaskan waters when he was max
ing an exploration trip along the coast
in the revenue cutler Perry. The boat
was shipped here from Seattle at a cost
Of $50 forfreight, 1t occupies prom
inent position III the corridor of the
Masonic building and is a very valued
addition to the fine collection of cur
|iosities there.

Caught Burglar

"A number OF daring burg
laries have been com mitted
recently and most of hem are
no doubt the work of james
Gully, colored, who was this
week caught in a peculiar
manner.
The last burglary occurred
at the home of Mrs. NJ. j.
Vardeman, on East Yerby,
on Sept. 81, and this proved
Culley's undoing. He stole a
roll of kodak pictures at this
place, probably thinking it
was a roll of money. The
next morning he stuck the
pictures 10 the stove but bis
wife rescued them without
his knowledge before they
were completely burned, un-
aware that they we're stolen.
She later showed them To Mrs.
Dean Smith, of East Vest, who
recognized some members of
the Vardeman family and she
and her husband quickly de-
cided that it was a clue 10 the
recent burglary. As a re-
suit Gully was arrested at the
Marshall building where he
acted as jlnitor. Sheriff
Bacon then went To his home
in East Marshall and found
enough evidence TO convince
him that Gully was guilty,aud
he soon admitted the fact,au
also said that he had hid the
Vardeman jewelry in pas
tire near the cemetery where
it was found Tuesday morn
ing.
1t is very fortunate that tn.
burglar has been caught and
he will no doubt be given
proper punishment.
