FIRE DOES DAMAGE
TO DEENETT HOME

Fire OF unknown origin Wednesday
evening threatened the destruction of
the house occupied by F.B. bennett and
family and owned by Mrs. Alberta
Chapman, and with the water used in
quenchiDg it caused the total destruc-
uon OF all the furniture and household
goods Of the Dement'S besides the per-
sonal effects OF number OF people who
occupied apartments in the house.
MIR. Dement'S loss is S2,134.8O with
Insurance $4,000 carried by the
Insurance Dept, of the CalcaSeu Nation
al Bank.
Cammile Breaux loss, clothing and
personal effects $3.50 or $500. no insur-
ance.
K. L. Craiger, furniture and clothing
Insurance 500, carried by C. E. Carr.
Damage to house about $500 carried
by c. E. Carr.
But for the heroic efforts of citizens
fighting the flames effectively with
chemical engine and hose connected TO
MIR. VanNesS' tank the residence would
have been destroyed in very short
time and owing to its close proximity
to other frame buildings might have
led to very serious conflagration.

BLANCHE SWEET AND

The Paramount program for the
coming week at the Auditorium is one
of unusual variety, offering on We'd
nesday, July 10, Blanche Sweet, in
"The Black List" story of the sys-
tenn by which certain industrial con-
Germs make it impossible for dis
charged employees to obtain work
elsewhere. This story is said to bear
a striking parallel to the revelations
Of the Colorado miners strike of a
year ago.
In "0ut of the Drifts" in which
dainty little Marguerite Clark will
appear Friday, July 81, the grandeur
of Alpine surroundings forms a fit
ting setting to story of battles
against the elements, and the i'm
