.GLENWOOD BARN
CONSUMED BY FIRE

Glenwood suffered another fire
early last Tuesday morning, when the
old building on Cooper avenue, be-
tween Eighth and Ninth streets, known
as the King barn, was entirely con-
sumed by the flames.
The fire was discovered by Earl
Lake, night policeman, who at once
gave the alarm and called out the fire
department, and although three lines
Of hose were laid and the fire laddies
did splendid work, the flames had
made such headway that it was i'm
possible to save the building or Its
contents, and all were lost.
There was stored in the building at
the time truck belonging to Thomas
King, the owner Of the building, a
Ford car belonging to Joe Boland, a
gasoline engine, the property Of Fred
Altman, some furniture and building
material. and miscellaneous goods of
little value. Mr.. King carried insur-
ance on the building to the amount Of
$1,000. but no insurance was carried
on the contents.
The heat from the fire was 30 in
tense that it was with the utmost diff.
ficulty that the firemen could get
close enough to it to protect nearby
buildings. The woodwork in the rear
of the Rittmayer, Napier and Ora
ham buildings to the west was charred
and it required great effort to protect
the Altman building to the south. The
Morrell and Hammerich buildings tc
the north were also considerably
scorched, and the glass in the win
dows cracked by the heat, and the
taxiaermy stock of William Cross wa
damaged to the extent of severa
dollars.

 For Chance

TANNERSVILLE, N. Y, August 23. After boxing Johnny Dundee at the Yankee stadium on the night Of September ,, Benny Leonard, now lightly engaged in training off three pounds of surplus pork in prepara- tion for that event, will box two easy, no-decison matches and then go storming back into the American drama for the winter.
 Charlie White, the Chicago gents ready -to-wear magnate. will have to wait until next summer for the re- turn match with Leonard for which year. Leonard will not fight i'm doors during the winter because even Madison square garden, where he has earned almost $50.000 on more than one occasion, is now considered inadequate to hold the price of a lightweight champions hire. Leonard will try, however to persuade some promoter to match him out of doors with Mickey Walker for Walker s welterweight championship before the end of September.

 Leonard has appointments to bruise the ears of Johnny Mendelsthn, of Milwaukee, in Philadelphia on Sep tember '. This being an eight round CT and to contrive certain alterations in the facial properties of Charley ODonnell, of Cleveland, in that city on September IS. This also will be an eight rounder.
