One of the features of the entertain
ment given by the K. of P. in Odd
Fellows hall last Friday evening on the
occasion Of the installation of officers,
was moving picture exhibition. Dur
ing the show, the film in some unex-
planned manner caught fire. In the
darkness necessary to a show OF this
kind, there was an excitement among
the audience. Fortunately it was stopped
in time to prevent disastrous stampede.
No one was injured, but many we're
frightened. In most places the city or
dinance provides againsts such things
by recurring safety device in con-
nection with the film. In case the film
catches fire the audience may be igno-
rant of the matter, and little or no
alarm is experienced.
