the landlords varying from 81 to g a
month. The evictions occurred princi-
rell- in houses where tenants who We're
obtaining moderate rents made the

am opposed to the Intervention of jury
between the courts decree and its en-
forcement by contempt proceedings. 1t
would mean long delay and greatly weak
en- the authority of the court. ! do not
think that the permission to change the
judge. however. would constitute either
serious delay or injure the efficiency OF
the order. while 1t may secure greater
public confidence in the justice of the

orca and if was but a short time be-
foro tho flames were under control. The
stock Of groceries was badly damaged,
q large mart of them being ruined. the
damage by water and smoke was much
greater than that by fire, it being nee
essary to thoroughly flood the estab-
lshment in order to extinguish the
flames.
The great volumes of smoke which
poured from the front of the store
caused considerable alarm among the
guests at the Hotel North. a part OF
which is directly over the Locke store
some of them hustled into their clothes
and hurried to the street. but as soon
as they learned that the hotel was IN
no danger returned to their rooms.

floor. behind the counter. 1t spread
"a pidly and burned through the floor
on that side. The bottom shelves Were
also scorched and some of the goods
were burned The adjoining establish
ment. Henry Morrilrs barber shop, was
filled with smoke. but no very serious
damage was done.
The shoe store of J. F. Bilodeau suf-
fered some from smoke and water. but
the extent of the damage could not oe
| learned.
| Smoke penetrated the Hotel Nortf
but did practically no damage.
| Mr.. Locke's loss is covered by insur'
ance through the agency of Macomoer
Farr & Written.
The run made by the firemen was
a remarkable quick one. Several lines
Of hose were laid within a very shor
time after the alarm was rung IN. bu
it was found that only two of them
one from the back end of the store
and one from the front. were needct
and the water was not turned into th'
other lines.
