The music TO the occasion was
furnished by Herle's orchestra and

Started 70 Fire But Didnt

Men on the streets rrsembled the
ants on a plowed up ant.hill
last Tuesday morning when the
fire alarm was aocidently sounded.
Everybody was running in all
directions while vainly trying to
locate the blaze which seemed 10
be Just around the corner. Final.
ly the tide turned down south First
street and men on loot, horses and
carts went in that direction. One
man tried to catch a dray which
went by him but his toe caught on
a rock and after doing a ram bow
stunt in the air he got up and
brushed the dust of his clothes,
saying he didn't believe there
was any fire no how" The dray
went on but later il came hack and
the man, who was still; brushing
his clothes, had the laugh on then
because, just as he had said, there
was no fire and the people had
their run for nothing.
