NJ FAU[ STORE AT
ECHO WRECKED By
FIRE LAST NIGHT
Especial Correspondence, ,

ECHO. ore, Dec. 7.-one of the
most stubborn fires to handle this
town has seen in many months oc-
CURED here last night when the Nc
Faul grocery store was wrecked by
the flames and the building partly
destroyed. The fire broke out about
10 o'clock above the ceiling and It is
thought the trouble was due to de-
iective wiring or to a flue. The fact
the fire was above the ceiling made
1t difficult to fight and though three
streams were kept playing on the
building the fire could not be extin-
guished until the roof had been
burned away.
The store was owned by W. X.
McFaul and was located at the cor
rer of Main and Dupont streets. The
building is owned by the Wind Riv-
er Lumber Co.. which will suffer a
damage Of $1,000 by the blaze. This
is more than covered by insurance.
The loss to the grocery store is esti-
mated at $4,000 and the owner car
ried insurance to the amount OF $2,-
200, hence will be fully protected.

May Hang Fire for Months.

Diplomatic discussion of proposals for
the settlement of the long-standing
grievance of Colombia against the United
States over Panama have been resumed
by the two governments. An interchange
of messages between Washington and
Bogota is now in progress.
Colombans are reported to have set
their minds on sums ranging from SeS,-
On1.OOO to S5O.OCO, coo. 1t is believed that the
United States will not even consider a
higher sum than $4,000 600; from $1,000
600 to Sl5.OOOOOO is considered as nearer
the ultimate figure.
The Colombians also desired, when the
discussions were first begun. that the
United States make some public acknowi-
cdgemcnt of having wronged Colombia.
l. this proposal is consented to by the
representatives of the United States, it is
predicted that it will endanger the rati-
fication Of the agreement by the Senate.
There is also strong probability that
