Incredibly short time the furniture was
piled in the street. somewhat wrecked.
Judge divers heavy fire-proof safe
was even tumbled out into the yard.
Furniture was moved out of other
houses in the row, for had the Oliver
House burned everything south of it
would have been almost certain to go.
The bucket brigade did splendid
work. At the first alarm the motors
OF the Evans and West wells were
started, and water raised as fast AS it
could be carried away in tubs and buck
cts. The hook and ladder truck was
run out, and number of men got on
the roof Of the Oliver House A string
of men reaching from the foot of the
ladder to those on the roof formed an
endless chain for the rapid raising of
buckets. and the roof was kept from
catching.
Others dashed water on the sides Of
the building exposed TO the fire. and it
was scorched only slightly A man
was at every window on the exposed
side. splashing water on the windows
TO keep them from being broken by the
heat. Notwithstanding this. however,
nearly every window on that side was
broken before the fire was over.
The Oliver House is large, two
story log building. and is familiar
landmark in American Falls. Had it
been frame building it is hardly pos
sibse that it could have been saved.
This is the third time an unorganized
bucket brigade has saved a great con-
fiagstion here within about year, and

BLACK PATTI.

Mirth, melody and music is the key
note of the performance to be given
by the famous BLACK Patti Trouba-
dours' at the Auditorium Saturday
night, December &c.
Those sweet singers and ebony col
ored fun-makers of Dixie Land have
been recognized for many years as a
high class standard attraction and one
that has scored phenomenal popular
success with theatregoers in all sec
tions of the country. Among the forty
in its rank are to be found the most
talented Afro-American singers, dane
ers and comedians in the world. Sis
sieretta Jones, the Black Patti, the
vocal star of the organization, in ad-
dition to being the most gifted singer
of her race, enjoys the distinction of
having sung before the largest audi
ences that ever assembled in Madison
Square Garden, New York City, and
the first colored singer, honored by
royal command, to sing before the
former Prince of Wales, now King Ed
ward VII of England. In this country
the Black Patti and the Troubadours,
through their refined and enjoyable
stage performances, have added large
ly to the musical culture of the people.
Their revival of the sweet melodies of
the South-reminiscent of anti-bellum
days-the plantation, the cotton fields
and the levee has been a musical reve-
lation to millions.
