anticipated that Canton, the largest
town in the county, would go other
wise than wet as there have been
saloons there for many year. Both
sides claimed Canton until after the
votes were counted, but when the re-
suit was announced, and 1t was found
that opinion was evenly divided, it
might be truthfulIy said that both
sides we're disappointed. The vote In
Canton stood $40 for the vets and $40
for the drys.
AS soon as the Canton vote was
known it was conceded that Lewis
county was against saloons, because
majority for the vets of at least
200 was expected by those who had
the wet campaign in charge.
Three Towns Went wet.
La Grange, another heretofore
wet town. showed a majority Of but
twenty for the advocates of the saloon,
although 1t had been confidently ex-
pected that they would pile up at
least 200 or more. The La Grange
vote was: wet, $40; dry, go.
Ewing, which has one saloon. voted
wet, as follows: wet, 143; dry, 100.
Derrahs, small village in the
northwestern part of the county yot-
ed as follows: wet, So; dry, %.
All OF the other precincts In the

IN NIGHT GOWNS
Female NURSES
PUT OUT BLAZE
Bravery of Women Keeps Fire
from YOnkers City
Hospital.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Charlotte
Lloyd, an 1s-year-old high school girl
wno is convalescing from scarlet fever,
at the City Hospital, Yonkers, was
awakened at 10 o'clock last night by tho
reflection of flames on the ceiling OF her
room at the rear of the building. She
sat up in her cot and saw that the hos
pital stable, a frame structure, barely
twenty-five feet away from her win
dow, was on fire.
The girl made her way as quickly
and as quietly as she could to DR.. Eiiz-
abeth Holmes, the superintendent. and
told her of the danger, for Miss
Llyod's last view had been of flames
which Just fell short of the window
frames of her room. DIR. Holmes mar
shaled the twelve women nurses. mos.
OF whom she had to bring from their
beds. and ~straightway led a brigade
to the stable.
A bucket line had been formed ana
was actively at work before, in the ex-
element, any one remembered that
the fire hose with which the hospital
building proper is equipped might he
put into use.
While this was going on AIRS. Mary
Stanfield, one of the nurses, remem-
bered that there were two horses IN
the stable. She broke the lock that
fastened the door, made her way
through the smoke and flame that filled
the interior and freed the horses. They
were so terrified thai Mrs. Stanf1eld a
to lead them to the o Then she
made her own escape, which she was
able to do without harm to herself.
Miss Lloyd was the Oldest of the
twenty-five patients in the hospital.
Most of them-since the institution Is
used for contagious diseases alone
we're very small. The smoke that
made it's made it's way through the
halls into the wards. the reflection Of
the flames and the noise that attended
all alarmed the children greatly. Some
of them left their beds and ran in
search of the protection their cries did
not bring, and since DR.. Holmes, as
we'll as the nurses, had quite as much
as they could do outside, it fell to
Miss Lloyd to quiet the children.
This the girl did very successfully.
She rallied two or three of the older
children to her assistance, and with
them gathered the rest in one of the
room farthest from the stable. There
the youngsters we're soothed, and when
the nurses got back to them they were
enjoying the adventure hugely.

ROBBED WOMAN WANTS
ONLY BABES MINIATURE,

GREENWICH, Conn, Nov. 6.-lf
there's a bit of the finer feeling in the
burglars who robbed the residence OF
Judge Frederick A. Hubbard, on
Mason street, Greenwich, yesterday, OF
1000 worth of diamonds, jewelry and
silverware, they will return by regis
tered mail at once Mrs. Hubbard's
miniature pin of her blue-eyed baby,
which she cherished as only a mother
can. This pin is inscribed "Drexel 7.
Hubbard, Greenwich, Conn.," and is
set with six small diamonds. Only the
miniature is desired.
That the house was not robbed Of
all it's valuables was due to the ar
rival at $50, just when the burglars
were the busiest, of the judge and his
wife, who had been autoing. They
stopped on the way to the garage long
enough to throw some blankets inside
the storm door. The noise alarmed
the burglars. One went out of a side
window, dropping a pair of opera
glasses in mis- flight. and his compan-
ion escaped by a rear door.

PEACE-MAKER SHOT AND

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Willingness TO

of Alexander Digiacoma, a tailor, los

visited an Archer avenue restaurant,
wher he heard three men uuarreling
with the proprietor. Thinking they
we're without money to pay their bills,
Wigiacoma offered to settle the amount.

the trio, who left the restaurant im'

Alaska, after having notified the

labor no longer in the public schools
unless paid higher wages for the re
mainder of the school year. The di-
rectors took the stand that as the fl

Boys Uncover
Stolen Amalgam'

Some boys while playing about the
I'D Kohl Building in Empire, which
> being torn down, uncovered some
amalgam, which is supposed to have
been stolen from the Mexican Mill
during the days it was turning out its
husky bars Of white metal.
a report yesterday stated that a
large AMOUNT OF the valuable metals
had been found but to-day ii has sim
mercd down to a small mount A
gentleman from Empire stated this
afternoon hat the entire find would
not noun to more than $40. Ab
Ambrose, who owns the property and
also the old mill, would not place any
value on the AMOUNT OF amalgam re
covered by the boys.
Newspaper reporters see so very
little OF any kind OF precious metal
that even a small quantity OF il looks
big TO them and their imagination is
liable TO run awav with them when
any story with "a the sound oi
none" in it is sprun,.
