1t is believed that the insurance

be sufficient to cover the damage
caused by the fire.
The wisdom of the city authorities
in hiring a full-time fireman to take

fully demonstrated at this fire. as de

and his assistants did remarkable
work at this fire. Owing to the
smoke and gas in the building it was
extremely difficult for the firemen to
fight the fire m it was only by
working in relays that the boys could
get water where 1t was most needed.

men were exerting every effort to

to completely consume the Masonic
Temple several Rawlinsites thought
lessly drove c,v~s over the fire hose
running from the Court House corner
to the Temple. AS the result of this
thoughtlessness the hose was cut by

most IL minutes was necessary while
the firemen shut off the water and
took out the section Of hose cut.
The officers hailed several of
those who drove cars over the hose
and ordered them to appear in

the fact that there are thousands of
acres in the known gas territory I'M
