HAWKINS HAS
FIRE DISASTER
MarcOtt Mercantile Co.'s Big
Store and Stock De-
StrOyed
ONLY DESPERATE WORK
KEPT FIRE IN BOUNDS
Proprietor Crawled Through Window
and Locked Safe.-Curreney and
Books Intact

! Fire wiped out the Marcott Mercan-
tile Co.'S store and warehouse at
Hawkins Tuesday morning. 1t was
one OF the worst disasters of the kind
which ever happened in that village.
1T was nearly Il. m when the fire.
which is supposed to have originated
from the furnace in the basement. was
discovered. Its progress was so rapid
| that attempts to fight it were entirely
ineffective and the urgent request
sent to the Ladysmith fire department
fGr the use of its chemical fire-fightine
machine was withdrawn.
The Marcott store was a large two
story building built good many
years ago. The warehouse ON the
south side Of the store was a concrete
block building completed this year.
The company carried large general
stock of merchandise.
The loss is estimated at between S3O.-
600 and $4,000 with insurance of S1S.-
600.
Hawkins has practically no fire pro-
lection and only the most desperate
fighting kept the fire from leaping
across the street and setting fire to
the office of the Glover Land Co. Had
this building caught the destruction
OF the greater part of the business dis
trict Of Hawkins would doubtless have
followed, as the buildings are all
close together on the east side of the

was blowing.
The cement block building was eX-
pected to stand before the onslaught of
the flames, but the composition rO0e
soon burned through and the building
was quickly gutted. The wa lis
crumbled down as though they were
made Of sand
The fire was discovered shortly af-
ter the employees of the store came to
work. The building was heated with
a hOt-afr furnace and the employees no
ticed that it was making considerable
heat and moved some of the furniture
farther away from the registers just
before smoke was noticed and the fire
discovered. Opening of doors leading
to the basement gave the fire plenty
of air and the flames spread with great
rapidity,
Very little was saved of the con
tents Of the main building. although
most of the feed stored in the cement
warehouse was saved
Mr.. MarcOtt crawled through a witt
dow in the main building and locked
the safe door. When the safe was
opened Wednesday, the money, includ-
ing a considerable amount in currency,
and all the books and accounts were
found intact, although the heat had
practically destroyed several leather
purses IN the safe.

by 20 to score, Friday afternoon

This is the Second consecutive vic

and proves their ability to handle the
pigskin IN business-like manner.
Although the visiting team seemed
TO have the stronger line. their for
ward-pass work and punting did not
equal that of the home team They
were also careless about obeying rules
and were penalized twice.
The game was called at 800 p. m.,
and Ladysmith kicked-off to Park
Falls. Both sides tried forward
passes but failed TO- complete them
Schiotz finally succeeded in getting IA
pass to Soule who carried the ball 30
Yards down a clear field for a touch
down. The locals lost the privilege
Of goal kick by touching the ball to
the ground. No notable gains were
made in the remainder of the first
quarter, which ended with the score
standing 6 to 0, in favor of Lady

Lawrence replaced Fond at the end
in the second quarter.
Both teams lost the hall on punts
and then settled down to line plunges
Mitchell made touchdown, and a
successful goal kick added another
point to the score, which now stood
13 to in Ladysmiths favor.
Park Fails put up theiF biggest fight
in the third quarter, when they

YANKEES WIN
FIRST TWO GAMES
Have Good Lead on Giants In
Struggle For World Cham
piOnship
3 TO O AND REPEAT
BABES TIMELY HIT
Result Known Here Before 2 O'clock
Fans Eagerly Sean Newspaper
Bulletin Boards

With the first two victories 10
their credit, the New York Yankees
American league champions, look like
the winners of the world championship
over the New York Giants, National
League pennant winners. OF course,
the Giants may upset the dope and
win yet, but if they do it will be by
accomplishing what now seems impos-
Sible for the Americans sO-far in the
crucial series have their opponents com
pletely OutclaSsed Never before this
year have the Yankees copped the AM
erican league flag and the result was
IN doubt this year almost to the last
game. The Giants. however, had a
rather comfortable lead for some time
before the season ended The Giants
have several times in the past got as
far as the world series. but there their
luck has deserted them. They seem to
be running true to form in this respect
so far this year.
The Yankees won the opening game,
3 to @, with Mays pitching air-tight
hall. The opposing pitcher, Douglas,
allowed only seven hits, hut they Wee
enough, with the Yankees daring base
running. One of the outstanding fea-
talfes 0f this game vas the audacious
feat Of Thigd-baseman McNally, of
the Yankees. in stealing home in the
fifth inning. Ruth failed to slam cut
a home run, but his clean hit into cpn=
ter field brought in the first run, which
was enough to win the game. No er-
ROFs were made by either team.
Same Score Thursday
Thursday, the Yankees administered
another shutOut tG the Giants and by
the same score as the first game. The
Yanks got their first run in the fourth
inning and two more in the eighth.
That the Yankees again Out-played tn"
Giants is evidenced by the fact that
ne Yankees made three runs from
three hits, but with the help Of three
RYrOFs on the part of their opponents
The Giants only got two hits. The bat
teFiRS were HOyt and Schang for the
Yankees, and Nehf and Smith for the
Gian{s,
Local fans, knew the result of both
games soon after two O'CLOCK, although
they did not start playing at New
York until 3 O'Clock, This apparent
contradiction is explained by the diff
ference in time of two hours. Fans
here had plenty of opportunity to get
the result by innings. In our Sept. %
issue, announcement was made that
the score would be given by innings aS
fast as played on the NeMsBudget bull
lctin board. Sept 30, in order that al
the fans might be accommodated the
journal announced that they would
also bulletin the series to the fans.
With its usual enterprise, the Journal
prepared very large board,
