they played three or four games of

could not be stated Yesterday.
On the second floor of the old build
ing Stilkey & Son had a lot of car
riages and sleighs, also a hack, the es-
tim2ted value of the vehicles being
about $4,000, and when the building
dropped these all went into a corner
together. No examination could be
made last night and it could not be
ascertained how much injury they had
suffered. = = '~.sA-. - = t--i e.
AS to the cause of the accident the
theory generally accepted was that
the weight of the old building was too
heavy for the new and caused il to
spread When the accident occurred
the northeast corner OF the old build
ing projected over the. north side of
the new preparatory to swinging the
former into position. and Mr.. Stilkey
said that it only had about 10 feet to
go to reach the place desired.
What action will be taken in getting
out of the dilemma resulting from the
fall of the building has not been stat
ed but it is considered probable that
the old building will be demolished in
stead of an effort being made to raise
and right 1t up.
