The building, which is owned by c. A. Nedin, is not occupied and as far as can be learned had had no fire in it since early last fall. The fire started in the rear of the building in the boiler room. It apparently started on the floor at a point near the wall and inside the building as the flooring was not scorched under meath the house. A thoro inyestiga- ton yesterday failed to reveal any clue as to how it originated.
 The alarm was turned in by Bust CT" Anderson who with his grand mother, Mrs C. N. Creamer was walking down Front street opposite the building to the latters home in Graehl He saw large volume of smoke arising from the rear of the building and turned in the alarm from the Nordale hotel, where the nearest telephone was located.

GOOD BILL FOR
 THURSDAY NIGHT
MARY PICKFORD IN 1910 AND 1920 WOLF TO GIVE ANOTHER
 PROGRAM

Manager Dick Thorne, of Thorne's theatre, is planning a genuine treat for his patrons on next Thursday evening according to a statement made by him yesterday evening. Pro lessor Wolf, the accomplished violin list who appeared at Thorne's last ,ek will be heard again Thursday evening. MT. Wolf will render three selections: Caprice Valse," Op. ', by H. Wieniowski; "Humoresque," " by A. Dvorok, and "The Rosary" by Neyin. Mrs Reed w Heilig will act as accOmpanist.
 For the film show, MT Thorne has double bill-191O and 1920. Tit tie" Mary Pickford will be seen in 1910 role and again in a 1920 role, one of her latest releases. The 1910 film will show all the surroundings used in film production used ten years ago and the 1920 picture will present a striking contrast, in demon stration of the vast strides made in the last decade in the motion pie ture industry.
 Tonight's show is also a feature show. The celebrated Mickey" with Mabel Normand in the title role is the attraction. Few films have made the hit that this one has in Fair banks. MT. Thorne is playing host to the kiddies tonight, giving them an opportunity to see this feature which they might otherwise miss. Manager Thorne has also received 25 copies of the song Mickey" taken from the title role. One copy of this song, he said, will be given to each of the first 25 ladies to enter the theatre tonight.
