Friday evening to witness the five
inning swatfest between the Lions
and the Odd Fellows. The final
score was to in the Odd Fellows

some extent for the outcome. The
Lions were badly crippled too, and
had four substitutes.
The Odd Fellows catcher was Billy
May, while Sharman and Parker made
up the battery for the Lions.
Mr.. Springer, always a star, both

DELTA HAS TWO FIRES
WITHIN PAST WEEK

The volunteer fire department was
called out last Thursday night at
about 1890 O'Clock to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. E. w. Strong, Fourth and
Meeker, wherea coal house and some
other outbuildings had taken fire from
some unknown cause. The boys res
ponded quickly and in a very few min
utes had the flames completely sub
dued. The property loss was slight
aside from some coal which was in
the coal house.
On Wednesday morning at 4:50
o'clock the large garage belonging to
Mrs. Margaret White at the corner of
9Th and Howard was discovered in
flames, the fire having started from
the loft and having gained consider
able headway before the flames broke
through the roof. The building is a
large brick with a cement floor,
frame gable and shingled roof. The
upper floor was occupied by furniture
belonging to the George Seabourn
Mercantile Company, including four
teen Hoosier kitchen cabinets, and
rugs and other furniture estimated at
ance. Mr.. Seabourn keeps the store
and his home insured at all times,
but owing to the fact that the furni-
ture in the garage had only been
recently placed there and he expect
ed to move it in a very short time he
had not taken the precaution to in
sure it for short time. This is in
deed a misfortune. On the lower
floor were some boxes of household
effects belong to Mrs. zella Flores,
who is spending the summer in Iowa.
Only one box was at all damaged
The upper part of the garage, as well
as Mr. Seabourns furniture is a total
loss. The fire laddies and other vol
unteers were prompt in responding
and worked faithfully to prevent the
flames spreading to other nearby
buildings. The garage was insured.
