NEW FIRE DEPARTMENT
FU1S OUT FIRST FIRE

Without alarming the entire town,
as has been the case heretofore when
a fire is discovered, a blaze at the
residence of Mrs. Allen D. Garden
800 Caldwell street, was promptly ex-
tinguished by Fire Chief r. C. Dick
erson and the newly organized de-
partment this afternoon. The fire
had gained considerably headway
when the alarm was turned in and
the chemical tanks were exhausted
before the blaze was entirely quench-
ed, the firemen having to resort to
the use of water from the fire plug.
The damage, however, would prob
ably not exceed 5000 or $500. The
firt is supposed to have caught from
the electric wiring.
Hereafter the whistle alarm at the
light plant will not be sounded for a
fire unless after reaching the scene
the fire chief decides that the fire is
a serious one and more help is need
ed. This will result "a great saving
from interruption of business and
work by alarms that frequently prove
to be false or for inconsequential
fires.

through the first roll call with bowed
head, failing to answer to her name,
twice called by the clerk.
On the second roll call she rose
and said in a sobbing voice, 81 want

remained standing, supporting her
self aga INST a desk and as cries of
''vote, vote" came from several parts
of the house, she sank back into her
seat without voting audibly. She
was recorded in the negative

WREN RELEASED
ON $1,000 BOND
SICNERS ARE NUMEROUS
Slayer of Alfred Day. Held for Man
slaughter, Allowed Bail by Coun-
ty Judge Smith.

Upon the presentation of what is
said to be the strongest bail bond
ever made in criminal case in this
county, Clarence A. Wren, held yes
terday for manslaughter for killing
Alfred Day, was released this after
noon from jail, where he has been
confined since March &c, the date of
the tragedy. After County Judge E.
l.. Smith, under kabeas corpus pro-
ceedings this morning, had fixed the
amount of bond at $1,000, IA men,
including four or five who are among
the wealthiest citizens of the county,
signed the bond. Wren's counsel said
that numerous citizens in all parts
of the county had volunteered to sign
the bond. The signers were w. H.
Duncan, j. E. Dempsey, M. F. Young,
H. B. Hardy, J. w. James, R. B. Nc
Culloch, H. B. Ingram, j. E. Little.
L. B. Atkeison, W. E. Clibourn, j. l..
Phillips, C. E. Durham, J. M. Adams
and Frank +. Robins.
Only two witnesses, Leigh Rotton
and E. l.. Rigsby, were introduced by
the defense at the preliminary hear
ing which was concluded before JUS
tice G. M. Easterwood late yesterday
afternoon. The only point brought
out by these witnesses was to show
that Wren had gone into the house
of Mrs. Mary Davis, where Mrs.
Wren was staying, at 10 O'Clock on
the night of the tragedy, which oc
Cured at midnight, and also on other
nights. The defense also endeavor-
ed to prove a statement made by
Alfred Day to Rev. j. O. Cantrell,
but this was overruled on the objec-
ton that any disclosure he made to
Mr.. Cantrel were of confidential
nature, as his pastor, and could not
be divulged. The defense then rest
ed and Justice Easterwood announced
that he would hold the defendant to
the grand jury on charge of man
slaughter.
The habeas corpus proceedings
were set before Judge Smith for 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon, but were
continued on motion of the state
until 10 o'clock this morning. The
hearing was short, both sides agree
ing to leave the amount of the bond
to the judgment of the court with
out argument.
The case will come before the
grand jury which convenes here the
third Monday in july.
