BUILDING Is BADLY Quilted
IN EARLY MORNING FIRE

Fire broke out early this morning in
the Haas building on Sheldon street
occupied by the saloon of William Luz
cas-, an alarm being turned in at s:f5
o'clock. Before the firemen had the
building under control the structure
mad been Quilted The loss is estimat-
ed at $500 which is covered by insur-

An employee OF the Scott hotel Of
Hancock. who resides in Houghton,
discovered smoke coming from the
building while on his way home from
work this morning. He Immediately
turned IN an alarm ana the fire de-
partment responded i'm a very short
time. The whole street was filled with
smoke but no flames could be seen
coming from any of the buildings in
that vicinity so that the firemen had
a hard time finding the exact location
OF the blaze The smoke was so thick
that the drivers had difficulty in fore
ing the horses through il. When the
fire was locatedh more trouble was
met with. The building is a brick We
neer structure, and the floor OF the
saloon below the sidewalk. A deep
cellar is underneath this. The fire
had evidently broken out in the cellar
and burned its way through the floor,
hut as the brick walls kept the flames
i'm, it was a difficult fire TO cope with.
The fire spread TO the tailor shop, |
owned by Robert Richard, next door,
destroying his entire stock, |
the damage TO which has not yet |
been estimated. The firemen left the |
at about S o'clock this morn
ing.
The thick smoke. the intense cold |
and the danger Of the collapse of |
the brick veneered walls made the fire |
an especially hard one to conquer. |
The fremen were covered with ice and |
hot coffee was served to them at in |
tervals by Michael Foley. For a time |
t seemed as if number of the other
wooden buildings in the vicinity would
latch fire.

portrait OF the sullen woman the pic.

all her features are in repose, her lips

ness softens her glance and goodness
eliminates her brow. Perhaps she is
the elder, but she will always appear

SquabbIlna the Cause Of Il.

A magistrate who has taken upon
himself the difficult task of adjusting
domestic troubles says that petty
squabbles break up more homes than
affinities ever could do. He has no
mercy for wife.beaters and is skepti-
cal concerning the influence of So
called soulmates on the average mid
die class household, which he stoutly
maintains is moral. In the strongest
terms he condemns nagging and
squabbling and sounds warning
against the effects of overwork. He is
not the only person who believes that
in ordinary cases of faithlessness the
cause can be found in a cloudy home
atmosphere. pickering is shamefully
common and the causes too trivial to
give an excuse for wasting breath.

Cuctor Fred Dickinson sustained brok-
en- legs and Henry Nero, Arnold Kali

/ i'm a head-on collision which occurred
on the Copper Range railroad near the

handle some rock cars. While running
at a slow speed. Just after leaving the
Houghton yards. the train collided
with a light freight. on its way from
Mill Junction to Houghton. Neither
train was going at high rate OF speed

shrouding them and shutting off the

The engineer jumped from his post
when he saw that the accident could
not be averted and sustained bad
fracture. The brakemen and con-
ductor who were sitting in a caboose
attached TO the switch engine, were
thrown to the opposite side by the
violence of the collision. Nero had
