tions point to long drawn out battle
Some Must Bite Dust.
The five counties that are distin-
| guished by not having candidates are

LOCAL GETS OVERHEATED
Spontaneous Combustion Causes an
Alarm to Fire Department.

Another case of spontaneous co:u-
caused a call for the fire department
yesterday morning at 1851 to shed
in the rear of Montgomery e Camp
bell, 1909 Second avenue. There was
practically no damage done. The coal
was thoroughly watered by the depart
ment to prevent another outbreak
The fireworks shot off at the expo
sition last week caused few small
blazes in the dry grass which were
easily extinguished without the aid
of the fire department. Tuesday night
the sparks fell on some of the tents
and frightened the performers but out
side of that no harm was done.
