ing a matched hut in which five of them
| did their cooking got aiire. The refiec-
| tion from the flames awoke one of the
| Italians and he yelled fire in his native
! tongue. The long building in which the
laborers sleep in tiers soon presented an
| exciting scene, the men crOwding into the
central aisle eager. to get out to see which
| one of the many cooking huts was burn
| ing. They pushed and crowded and jab-
bered until all were out, when they gath
cred around the fire, most of them in
abbreviated costume in spite of the frosty
morning presenting a scene resembling
| an Indian war dance. The hut was con-
sumed, causing a loss of about $50. One
of the owners left revolver in the hut
when he went to bed, and the fact that

rise to suspicion that the fire was start
! ed by some person poking around in the
| nut WITHOUT y. II Is understood

had not insured the hut. it being so far
from hydrant service as to render 1t an
undesirable risk
