ally this was Mr.. Myrick's forty-first

Lakeland's fire department respond
ed to two fire alarms during Sunday
The first was turned in AT , o clock
Sunday morning from West Orange

sized up the situation as being one
that called for the prevention of tn"
spread of the blaze which had already
communicated 10 the fraternal hall.
1t was realized that the departments
would do we'll to protect and preserve
surrounding property. so intense was
the heat from the large wooden struc-
ture occupied by the OddfellOws. by q
barber shop and by Il pressing club
Although il was just daylight. the
flames illuminated the sky so that tn 20
fire was seen many miles away. Sever
o'clock struck before the whist"
sounded that the fire was out The
loss is estimated at about 50 500 with
scme additional amount for contents
of the Oddfellows hall. Chief Aren~
dell is satisfied that the fire was Of
incendiary origin. there having been
strong protests by certain residents of
Moorehead over the erection of the
frame building 50 close to the hall.
The second alarm shortly after
o'clock called the department to West
Prospect street to the home of Mrs.
d. B. Elliott. This proved to be =
roof blaze that was easily eXtin-
guished.
