Richardson Park, Nov. I4.-Max
Matthes, president of the Wilmington
Provision Co, was severely burned about
the head and hands while fighting fire
which threatened destruction of his fine
home at Elmhurst, early last evening
Despite his injuries, Mr.. Matthes fought
the blaze single-handed until the Five
Points fire apparatus arrived and ex-
tinguished the flames.
Mr.. Matthes was slightly burned but
his timely arrival home averted
destruction of the house., the
fire having started in a clothes closet
on the second floor during his absence.
On arriving home, the odor of smoke
was noticed and an investigation made
by Mr.. Matthes revealed the fire in a
closet.
a call was sent to the Five Points
Community Building and when the
apparatus arrived the flames were under
control and were soon extinguished.

judges examined and tasted the cakes
they made notes on the. comparative
merits of the confections. When they
had finished they compared notes, and
1T was found that they We're unani-

numbered respectively 1876, 64 and 66
