fires The roof was On fire at the time
the fremen arrived and for a few mo-
ments it looked as if the building was
doomed, but three lines of hose were
soon pouring torrents of water into the
building and one was working inside, and
the flames were drowned out in short Or
der. At the time that the fire was in
progress the temperature was below the
freezing point and the house was soon
cased in ice and everywhere the water
struck was coated with the same mate
rial. The firemen suffered some from the
biting cold air driven by the gale.
A peculiar incident in connection with
the alarm was that few minutes after
the gale which was blowing, the break
occurring close to box 4s, and had the
break come a short time earlier it would
have put the box out Of commission and
no alarm would have been given.
Just about the time that the flremen
were finishing up their work at the Hart
well place a still alarm was received,
being due to a chimney fire in the tene-
ment house at "a Arsenal street, just
north of the Augusta Lumber Cos. Of
flee and owned by Ira H. Randall. Hook
& Ladder No. was sent down the hill
to Arsenal street and two chemicals were
used in cooling the chimney down below
the danger point.

selves not far from the north en-
trance; that they saw Cline come

in question, where he met an old SOL
der. the two then going into shed
near the house; that in a few minutes
Cline came out Of the shed and re-
turning to the place where he got the
first bottle, got another one; that
Cline then returned to the house and
passed the bottle to an old soldier
who, with others, went behind a brick
wall where the contents Of the bot
tie was disposed of. after which one
of the old soldiers threw the bottle
away. saying as he did so: There
goes another dead one" The sheriffs
then went to the place from which
Cline had taken the bottles and which
was within two rods of where they
had been hiding, and found and took
one dozen pint bottles Of liquor.
Cline then took the stand and in an
swer to q question by his counsel as
to whether or not he had sold any IL
quor to an, old soldier Friday morn

animation Cline admitted that he
knew the officers who had arrested
him; that he had met them Friday
morning and had spoken to them:
that he knew about the locality where
they had testified that the liquor was
concealed; that he lives on the Thorn
aston road and rents a house Of Eva
Jenness; that he came to Augusta a
little more than two years ago; that
he was eingle-he had been married
but had lost his wife. When asked as
to his occupation he said he was a
farmer. but his knowledge Of that
calling as brought out by questions by
the court seemed to be confined to the
driving OF teams and doing chores
about the place. His present occupa-

shop in which were sold canned goods.

Willard Has the Opportunity of
His Lifetime.
johnson Is in No Condition to
Fight Now.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 1O.-Private
advices from Cuba, substantiated by
several photographs, indicate that
Jack Johnson will need more than
three weeks in which to fit himself
for serious encounter in the ring.
They say the time required would
be nearer three months, And it will
be serious encounter when he
tackles the giant Willard-if he does.
There hasn't been a heavyweight
such condition as Willard is at the
present time.
The Willard of today isn't the same
Willard we knew around here a year
ago. The Improvement has been re-
markable. He shoots out his left in
perfect fashion now and has deveI-
oped a right cross that is about as
good punch one could ask for in
a championship candidate.
There is more viciousness to his
attack than there was in the old days.
He snaps his punches in with preci-
sion and force, though in his Ell PaSo
camp he has had to pull to his SPAR
ring partners on the simple basis that
if he dashed out at his best every day
he wouldn't have kept one of them
over "a hours. They were sore and
jaded lot it was.
There are points in the Willard de-
Tense that need brushing up. How
ever, he has a fair system of smoth-
ering up when pressed vigorously, his
arms being so long and big, especially
when held close together, that it is a
mighty hard thing to brush by them
with any sort of wallop.
Walter MOnahan. who is almost as
big as Jack Johnson was the day he
beat JeffrieS, and who spars very
much on the Johnson order, is but a
child in the hands of Willard. AS a
matter of fact none of Villa DIS SPAR
ring partners could go more than two
rounds with him ON a considerable
bet.
If condition is to tell in this battle,
as it surely must, Willard must be re-
garded as having one grand chance.
And it is not in the cards that John
son will be able to get into condition
many more times, and probably not
this time
