Had Been In Good Humor
Friends of the dead youth who had
eome to his home to console his bride
and relatives substantiated the fathers
statements. One explained that he had
spent Saturday evening with him and
that he had been in an exceptionally
good humor.
The bride Of the young man was too

The many friends Of A. J..HHol-
worthy, now lying sefiously.ill at a
hospital in Waynesillve. MIG, will
be relieved and happy to know that
he is still making a gradual improve
ment. - -
The following letter regarding Mr.

ceived by ,frishds here 1t was writ
ten by NJ F':.Hetherington Under date
of July 30 from Balsam, ~ c.:
# have just gotten back from Mr.
Iolworthy's bedside, and will report
briefly his condition. We feel more
encouraged than at any time since
his sickness began. for the improve
ment noted yesterday has continued,
though very gradual. We can hardly
tell in what way this Improvement
shows, but his temperature is almost
back to normal, he took more noursh-
ment, and What few words he spoke
we're rational, Moreover he seems
to- be able to move his left limbs. in
dicating that there will be no paraly-
sis. OF course. all these things make
us more hopeful, but the doctors warn
us against getting our hopes too high,
Tor he is yet in a most precarious con
ltion.
'IIe lies in kind of stupor all the
time except when awakened or
reused by the nurse to take nourish-
ment. At such times he answers
questions intelligently, though. OF
course, they do not talk to him enough
TO tire him. SO far as we can judge,
he has no pain.
Letters and kilograms, both from
individuals. and from organizations,
have been pouring in the past three
lays All are much appreciated by us
md Mrs. IIolworthy. and preserved
that he may see them when he is
able.

BLAZE In DOWNTOWN
DISTRICT SATURDAY
NIGHT DRAWS CROWD

A fire-call from Box 12-corner of
Main and Kentucky-Saturday night
ut 9:15, when the streets were filled
with theatre-goers and shoppers
caused an excitement out of proper
ton to the size of the blaze, which
was KEEP, well in hand by the fire de-
partment
In the hall on the second floor of the
Drane building a box of excelsior, be
longing to DR.. LETTERS, had caught
from an unknown case. probably a
match or a cigarette stub tossed care
lessly away, and the blaze was spread
ing to the woodwork of the hall.
1t is evident. that the fire would
have been serious had it had longer
time to get in it's work. A small boy
discovered the blaze and spread the
alarm. A fire hose with which the
building is equipped was put to good
use, and a fire call sent in.
The fire department arrived
promptly and the damage was con
fined to the hallway. However, the
damage from fire and water will to-
tai 5000, according to the estimate of
Guy Arendell, chief of the fire de-
partment.
The crowds on the street surged to-
ward the scene of the fire and did not
dispense until the fire engine was
ready to leave.
