FIRE SWEEPS OVER BLOCK
Five Mules Are cremated in Disas-
trous New Orleans Blaze.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New Orleans.-Nearly an entire
block Of frame bai!dings, in the square
bounded by South Rampant, Saratoga.
Erato and Thalia, was DESTROYED by
fire, and five mules, the property of
Hollander Sons, were cremated in the
fierce blaze which had its origin in
the stables of the firm at No. 1907
South Rampant.
How the fire originated is a mystery,
but it is not believed to have been
incendiarism. The stamping of a trot-
ting horse gave the alarm The heat
and smoke caused the animal uneasi-
ness, and he plunged around his stall
until he aroused Miss Alice Mosley,
who keeps rooming house adjoining.
The roomers in the house were awak-
ened and sought safety in flight some
of them not even taking time to don
their clothes.
The fire was confined to the square
in which it originated, although some
dwellings on the opposite side OF Sara
toga, to which the fire penetrated,
were scorched and damaged.

Montgomery City, Mo.-How many

rooster eat in 20 minutes when he is
the observed of all observers in a
show window, and most of the observ-

grains In the hope of winning prizes?
The answer is 4S6 grains.
Proof of this capacity for swallow

dow Of John Martins store when a
Buff Orpington rooster took 20 min
utes for his dinner.
Martin had advertised first, second
and third prizes for the most nearly
correct guesses as to the number Of
grains the rooster would devour. A
large crowd gathered in front of the
window. A pan of corn, the grains in
which had been counted, was placed in
the window. Time was called. Mr..
Rooster fell to on the titbits.
For five minutes he pecked vigor-
ously at the grains. Then he began
to slow up, but he continued swallow.

20 minutes expired. Evidently he
had enough, for he quit eating volun-

Chicago.-Two long knives lay In
the hand of w. J. Miliman of 2O2O Wal

turned to his lifelong friend, Arcadia
Sokoloff, and passionately exclaimed:
I'VE must fight-there," pointing to
an alleyway back of the house which
was in absolute darkness.
A short time later a ledger in the
house, who had heard a quarrel arise
between the men owing to Millman's

wife, peered from his window trying
to gain some idea Of what the men
were going to do. He could see moth

came the click Of steel, and he realized
that duel was in progress.
AS the lodger jumped from bed to
call the police he could hear the
tramping OF the men, their heavy
breath and again and again the noise
OF the knives meeting. Then came two
sharp cries and the sound of man
running from the alley.
The police found Sokoloff MORALLY
wounded with cuts in his back and abb
domen. Two hours later a policeman,
searching for Miliman, stumbled over
his dead body upon the sidewalk of
street two blocks distant. He had shot
himself in remorse over the duel with
his friend.
Miliman was a structural craftsman,
and letters in his pockets showed him
to have been an associate of the Civil
Engineering society of Russia.
II was in Russia that the friendship
of the two men began.
With his friend Sokoloff he had at.

two returned to Miliman's residence
