HEAVY DAMAGE BY
 FIRE IN MERIDIAN

Meridian. February 2o.-(Special)-The second story of the Meyer Brothers buggy and harness store located at the corner of Fourth street and Twenty first avenue was completely gutted by fire at an early hour this morning.

They were mere office BOYS for the
great Brigham He frequently ordered
his counsclors TO run crrands for him,
and they obcycd. Whatever Brigham
said was law, and IL was orthodox the

Now. that the great Brigham has been
dead for more than thirty years. the

courage TO say that Brigham Young
was an usurpcr-that he came TO the

that the great Brigham elbowed n

throne-but he said nothing of the
kind while Brigham lived--no, not he.
