The fire department was called out
Sunday morning about one O'Clock to
231 Fifth avenue, the residence occupied
by Hallet Wickus and owned by w. H.
Atom. The fire was in the partition
and was caused by an overheated
furnace. The blaze was thought to be
out when the department left but soon
another alarm was turned in and
they again went to the scene. Nearly
all Of the interior walls were removed
before the fire was out. The furniture
was removed to nearby house on Fifth

Trouble arose among some of the
miners who are living on Walnut street.
and as a result one of them is in seri-
ious condition at the county Jail with
wound in the back of his head. On
Sunday afternoon liquor was dispensed
quite freely in their abode and possibly
owing to the fact that the Balkan ma
tons are at war, the tempers of the
miners, some of whom are from the
Balkan states, must have been easily
ruffied and trouble arose. The injured
man was much the worse for liquor and
was unable to talk when taken to the
iail and the others refused to talk. A
doctor was summoned and dressed the
wound, but how seriously the man is
injured cannot be determined at pres
ent.
