The Trib's got lot of nerve to

banks in town now and have a cop

cago's millions.
Well, it's about time for some of

Prof. Frazer of the University of

The weather conditions early in tho

Fire Threatens
Restricted Dist.

About 1915 o'clock on Friday
night serious fire broke out in the
building owned by Thomas H. O'Neill
and Immediately to the rear of the
O'Neill dance hall on high street.
The fire which for a time proved to
be one of the worst the fire depart
ment had to contend with for some
time, had gained full headway be-
fore it was discovered.
While the origin of the fire cannot
be stated definitely, it seems reason
able to assume that it came from an
oyerheated stove. The first intima-
tion of trouble was when the lights
in the dance hall went out. Someone
stepped outside and almost immedi-
ately noticed flames spreading
through the roof of the burning
building. Before the discovery was
made the interior of the building was
mass of flames.
The fire department was quickly
on the scene and in about ten min
utes had the threatening spread of
the flames under control. While
many frame buildings were situated
very close to the one in which the
fire broke out, not one of these was
damaged beyond slight scorching.
This work is particularly creditable
to the fire departent in view of the
fact that everything was very dry
and stiff wind. was blowing down
the canyon.
The loss on the building is said to
be covered only to the extent of one
thousand dollars, which will by no
cans be sufficient to make the owner
whole. All the clothing and other
contents of the six room building
were totally destroyed. The only
loss of life, fortunately, was that of
q pet dog, which was highly valued
by its owner.
