 An alarm from Box brourbt .o'' panles NOS ], ?. and 6 and the truck companies Nos. 1 and to inc scene. On arrival. the hremen found themselves up against stiff battle due to the dense smoke which noured out from the structure. The flames were at the height at tho door of the store on the first floor, in corner near Mir. Robb's office.
 While the main floor of the huild- ing which is a two-story frame af. falr' IS badly gutted the tiremen pre- vented the blaze from communicating to either the upstairs or the cellar or the structure The damage in these particular parts Of the building is confined to smoke and water.
 Origin Of Blaze.
 The origin of the fire, according 10 MT. Robb, was in a barrel of window shade and wall paper clippings. He said that meeting of d club. in which he is a prominent member, was held last evening and after the adjournment both he and a clerk in the store carefully examined the premises, but found nothing wrong. Mir. Roeb is of the opinion that had there been even a small fire in the barrel he would have been able to de- tect it. It is the opinion of Chief Noble that cigar or cigarette butt had probably been thrown into the barrel.
 New Stock Damaged,
 Much of tho stock Of the Boyle | was recently received for the coming spring, and Mir. Robb said | this morning that it comprised about | of the entire stock. The in | 'entory of the company was complet- | ,d yesterday.

OLD FORM OF TECEGRAPHING
Crude Method Employed by Ancient
Peoples, but It Conveyed the De-
sired information.

Practical telegraphy is not so en-
tirely a product Of modern science as
many may suppose. 1t is tradition that
Agamemnon telegraphed the fall of
Troy to Greece by means Of bonfres on
the mountain tops. Although there may
be much doubt as to whether this Is
not a mere legend, there can be no
question tina: in the second century
before Christ there was a system Of
telegraphing in Europe by which mes
sages were sent from one place to
another by means of fire, the words
being spelled out letter by letter.
The letters OF the alphabet were ar.
ranged in five columns, so that any
letter could be designated by stating
in what column itswas contained and
its number in that column. To convey
this information to distance two
men, each having five torches, were
stationed behind two barricades; the
first, by holding up the necessary mum.
Der Of torches, indicated the number
of the column that contained the let
ter he was sending and the second in
dictated similarly the actual numerical
place of the letter in that column. 1t
is evident that by. a series of stations
messages Of any length could have
been sent-say from Rome to Athens.

Setting a new pace for the screen
in realism and downright thrills IN
the same manner the original pro-
duction did on the legitimate stage
1.-THE storm" opened its local engage
ment at the Elko theatre Saturday
night to an enthusiastic and apprec-
iative audience. In many respects
this Universal Jewell presentation
SURPRISES the stage version notably
in the storm and fire scenes where
miles of exteriors offered greater
opportunity to Director Reginald
than: were at the diposal of George

,. Adapted from the play which
hacked New York theatres for months
the screen version follows Langdon
MrCorrnick's script faithfully.
House Peters plays the part Of Burr,
the primitive frontiersman, in man.
ner that reaches new heights OF
screen artistry. Virginia Valli, as the
French Canadian girl, who causes
Burr and his English lawyer friend
interpreted by Matt Moore-to break
! fast friendship, does the finest
work Of her career.
Imagine two men, deadly enemies,
and the girl both men love, trapped in
mountain pass with the woods on all
sides roaring furnace, flaming
death trap. Could any more vital
set be- planned to show the mettle OF
each man, to show which was the
real man, and which was the coward.
So realactic is the scene that one
can almost feel the sizzling heat.
In addition to the three principal
players, great credit is due Josef
Swickard, Frank Lanning and Cor
don McGhee for their work in the
chief supporting roles.
