BREWERY
 GOES UP IN SMOKE

With the wind blowing a gale. and unable to obtain water with which to combat the flames, owing to the building being outside the fire limits. the Williams brewery. situated west of town, was totally destroyed by fire last Saturday afternoon.
 There was no one on the premises at the time, and when the fire was first discovered it had gained such headway that all efforts to stay the flames were fruitless. The Saginaw Lumber Company came to the res cue with it's fire fighting apparatus, but sufficient pressure could not be obtained to carry water to the burn ing building.
 The entire contents. including the ice plant, the other parapher- nalia used in the manufacture and bottling of beer. as we'll as an auto mobile and other valuable property, were entirely destroyed.
 The building was owned by the Maier Brewing Co of Los Angeles, and it is understood that it was fully insured. A representative of the above firm was in Williams this week and stated that the brew. cry would be rebuilt.
 Jo Atwood, had considerable property in the building, but the amount of his loss could not be ascertained, as he had not arrived from Texas when THE NEWS went to press, although he is daily ex- pected. Ed Hoffmeyer, local man. ager of the works, stated that he had no idea as to how the fire originated, DOT could he make an estimate of the value of the prop erty destroyed.

THE IDA KINLEY
 CONCERT COMPANY

The next entertainment to be given at the opera house by the Santa Fe Reading Room associa- tion will be the Ida Kinley Concert Co.,, which will be here next rues- day evening, Feb. 21. The person. nel of the company is Ida V. Kin. ley, prima donna soloist; Barton w Shipley, cornetist and saxo phone, and Edna A. Irwin, reader and pianist. The company is spoken of very highly by the press wher ever they have appeared, and no doubt they will be greeted by a large audience in Williams.
 s. E. Busser. superintendent of reading rooms, makes the following announcement regarding the com pany:
 T have been seeking a trio who could give us about all the instru- ments and I believe I have them. I need not introduce Ida Kinley. She always makes good. MT. Ship ley with his three instruments, the saxophone, the mandolin and the cornet, will do some fine work. The pianist and reader is a most versa tile lady and fascinates her au- diences by her weird impersona- tions. This company has been do- ing lyceum work all winter and only by a rare combination of cir cumstances are they able to take this brief va'ion trip to California. I have as ked them to give a most informal program. They are on the line to give you a pleasant evening and greet you after the concert.
 -"Don't confuse this with the Kinley Go. of last year."

FELL A VICTIM TO
 THE WHITE PLAGUE

Miss Florence Janson, who was brought to Willia ms from Santa Cruz, Cal. two months ago, suffering from consumption, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. William Dalton. last Sunday evening. Her mother and another sister were at the bedside of deceased when she passed away.
 Miss Janson contracted the dread disease less than six months ago. She came here seeking relief, but the malady had gained too firm @ foothold, and the constant and low ing ministrations of relatives, or all that medical skill could do, were unavailing, and the terrible white plague claimed another victim.
 The deceased was just in the bloom of young womanhood. being 19 years of age when called away. She was of bright and cheerful disposition and her death is poig nantly felt by relatives and sim cerely mourned by all who had met the young lady during her brief residence here.
 Besides her mother and the two sisters mentioned, Miss Janson's father lives at Santa Cruz, the birth. place of deceased. The remains were inferred in the Williams cem- etery, the funeral taking place on Tuesday afternoon
