Tracy Herald: Tuesday evening
about tenio'clock word was received
by phone from Amiret stating that
the Webb store at that place was on
fire and asking for the assistance of
the Tracy fire department. In fif-
teen minutes after the alarm was
given in Tracy our fire laddies, with
hooks and ladders, accompanied by
a hundred Of our citizens, had
boarded special train and were on
the scene Of the confagration. The
flames had gained such Roadway
that it was impossible to save the
building, but after a hard fight all
the adjoining buildings were saved.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Webb carried a $4,000 stock
and had only $4,000 insurance on hi
building and stock. Amiret has no
waterworks and our fire-fghters
worked at a great disadvantage but
they did some heroic work which
was thoroughly appreciated by the
Amiret citizens, Mr.. Webb showing
his appreciation by giving the fire
department a purse of $50.

fishing hospital here. The doctor
has private hospital at Vesta. and
has met with such success that he.
has outgrown the facilities of the.
place, and is sought by the citizens,
of several larger towns in this vicin-
ity to locate there. While here he
conferred with all the local physi
clans and found much encourage
ment. He left the city much i'm
pressed with the opportunities offer
ed in Marshall, through the central
location and railroad facilities, and
later ne was to interview the pro-
fession in adjoining cities and coun-
ties. regarding the project. While
here he closely examined the south
side school building and found that
it would be well adapted to the pur-
pose of a hospital, with necessary
changes. The matter of the school
property was not discussed with the
board of education. During the
winter DR.. Gray will give the mat
ter more consideration.

At the morning service of the
union revival meetings last Sunday,
an offering was taken which ulti-
mately amounted to S377, so that for
the series of three weeks averaging
two services a day the evangelist
received as much as a second rate
lyceum lecturer would get for three
nights work. Critics have no call
to criticise the collection, and those
who contributed felt that the collec-
ton by no means paid for the serv-
ice freely given them. In justice to
the church people it should be men
toned that about $500 additional
was paid for the singers and inciden-
tai expenses.

for action, and as the first rays of sun
light gilded their topmasts they opened
fire, but it was a salute TO our glorious
