girls cried out, Grandpa, something
happened away over yonder," and
when he finally located the white pill
low he thought it was a woman and
made bee line for it. They reached
US by going down a bit and coming
back against the current; they picked
us up. This was p. m. and Ber-

we got on board we set out to look
for Russell After hunt of IS min

He tried to cut short to the shore
against the tide and was pretty well

LAST WALL OF
OLD PUTNAM IS
NOW TORN AWAY
Historic Old Landmark
Gives Way to Site for
Buildings

All that was ever recognized as the
famed Putnam House came down to
earth at $50 a. m. yesterday when
DIR. Lee Warren, representing the
PaIatka Development company, gave
the signal to pull away on the sole
remaining wall Of the southeast cor
ner of what had been a lobby, astir
with Americas merchant princes, fl
nanciers, masters Of industry, nobil-
ity of other lands, and the fairest
beauties Of all chimes. No tears
trickled from the eyes Of the many
onlookers gathered to bid farewell to
the old structure, but, as Walter Hill
lard and Ridley Wilkinson express
ed themselves, something within me
seems to choke up a tthe sight" PIas-
ter dust waited through Second
street, caused many others the same
pangs, but grief was not so evident
as with the two sensitive citizens
who must face the void for days to
come, and with those qualms too few
can appreciate.
Ernest Rowton, with head bowed
low, retraced his steps to Lemon
street. Jim Spencer found the dime
Ernest was looking for, and removed
from the gathering another it was
thought had a kindlier sentiment.
Cliff Loveland and "Shep" Shop
pard moved six of their fourteen
Lemon street signs to the back of the
Merryday building, their loved A.A.A.
showing they cheered for the debacle.
Morris Cochrane put on a new record
to drown out Nelson Stumpe's claim
that "hotels may come and hotels
may go, but examinations are here
forever"
1t seemed that no one would offer
word Of sorrow no matter where
one turned Bob Earnest. phiIoso-
phising, said it was "thc trend Of the
times-things just had to come
down. and Doc Stcyn predicted that
another structure would be complct-
ed in ninety days. Mike Phillips suo-
icalIy opined that the fire boys had
less chance for a free feed. and Jules
NJ 1rocllin said the destruction
shortened the poIiccmens beat
Frank Oliver said the Boulevard from
Second to Third streets should be
paved Immediately and c. J. Smith
joined J. H. HickcnIooper in the
opinion that the city park looked
good to them.
We gave up the search for grief
and joined the Second street princes
in their choking. But the old land
mark is gone, no more to harbor the
Goulds, Wanamakers, Carnegies
Vanderbilts, billiards, Prince anC
Princess Soandso as it did less thar
Is years ago. New homes, stores
and cathedrals of commerce will dot
several streets, and in later years
those that could not grieve today will
recall for the younger generation
that this house and that building were
built from the "old Putnam House
