NAKED POWER WIRE
STARTS $1,000 FIRE
IN LONGS MARKET
Firemen Confine Flames to
Single Main Street Room
and Save Long Row of
Buildings.

Fire in the butchershop of Frank
Long, 324 Main street, at 2 o'clock this
morning caused damage to the extent
of $1,000 estimated by the proprietor
Insurance on fixtures, building and
stock amount to $1,40O. The blaze was
confined to the one-story rear addition
to the building, which was completely
gutted. The front part of the store
room and the second story above it
were not damaged in the least, nor
was the stock in the front room.
Mr.. Long believes the fire originated
from a naked power wire in the roof
of the rear addition, which was used
as store room, smoke house, lard
and sausage making place. There was
considerable machinery in the room
and 1t was all ruined. Twelve chick
ems were killed, and a large amount
of lard and sausage damaged.
The firemen fought the dangerous
blaze from the front store and were
successful in keeping the flames from
spreading into the front part of the
building and the adjoining buildings.
1t required thirty minutes of hard
fighting to subdue the blaze.
Business houses on the north side
Of Main street, between Third and
Fourth streets, are built together and
are all old buildings, and if it had not
been for the prompt and effective
work of the flremen the entire block
undoubtedly would have been burned
to the ground. The fire was first dis
covered by tenants of a flat in an
adjoining building.

WARSAW, Ind, Oct. 16.-When AL
bert J. Beveridge. Progressive nominee
for United States senator, marched in
to the Warsaw opera house last
night at the head of sixty war veter-
ans, who had marched through heavy
downpour of rain to attend the meet
ing, q crowd that filled the large au-
ditorium to the doors gave the Progress
sive leader one of the greatest ova-
tions he has received during his politi-
cal career.
While the bands played national
airs the crowd arose to its feet and
cheered for several minutes 1t was a
proud moment for the veterans. Their
faces showed their delight. They
seemed to realize that the political
leader who marched at the head Of
their column is one who fights for the
freedom the American people, just
rs they light for freedom many years
ago.
An incident that shows Mr.. Beve-
ridges hold on the people occurred
here last evening. When Mr.. Beve-
ridge left his hotel for the opera
house, he saw, after climbing into his
automobile, more than a score of old
soldiers in line to march to the meet
ling.
