10 the Indians themselves. govern
ment officials can do nothing toward
preventing the Redmen from spend
ing their money for the white man 5

FIRE BROKE OUT
 IN CLOTHING STORE.

 Smoke.

A fire was discovered in the Frank lin Hall building on Main street Mon day evening at 7.25 and an alarm was rung in from box 32. The Alerts, the Excelsior Hook and Ladder company and the Montgomerys responded, the Alerts and Excelsiors being first on the scene. The fire broke out in the clothing store called the Willimantic Bazaar, owned by Mrs. Annie Silver man. It is not known how the fire started, as the store was closed at the time. It started in the rear of the store on the first floor and for a time looked serious, great clouds of smoke pouring out of the windows. It spread to the second floor in the rear, but d1d not do any great damage there, the damage being confined to the nrst floor. Three lines of hose were used, one in the rear. one on the second floor and the third for the first floor. There was no wind blowing and the snow was
 falling very heavily at the time. It Is
 damage will be, but it will probably be smoke. There was said to have been
 about four or five thousand dollars worth of stock in the store and insur-
 ance was carried to the amount of two thousand dollars. The department handled the fire in a splendid manner, which if not controlled might have done immense damage. John McQuil- Ian of the Montgomery company was overcome by smoke and was taken to Dr. O'NeiIs office for treatment. All though it was a. very stormy night, a good sized crowd was on hand to watch the fire.
