Between II and 11:30 P. N Thursday a telephone alarm frop the Hofer residence called the Nom Fire Department to the home of wr Patch. a native, on Second avenue, adjoining the Fleming house.
 Mir. Patch and his family had gone to the Spit to attend a native dance, leaving a fire burning in the stove. During the day a fresh sup ply of seal meat and blubber had been obtained and it is presumed that the family left a can of the blubber on the stove and the con- tents ran over with the result that a veritfble furnace was started.
 Andy Box had returned home after lodge meeting. changed his clothes and started for Little creek, Passing he house he noticed the flames impinging against the win dows and upon investigation discov- cred that flames were running across the floor licking up every thing infiamable. Andy ran to the Hofer home close by and telephoned the Fire Department.
 Being but one block from the Fire House the Department reached the fire in a few minutes and f1n- mediately strung the hose line from the hydrant in front of the Fire House. The engine was turned over and the main filled before the firemen reached the house but due tc an ice clog in the hydranA water was slow in passing thru the hose line. The chemical was used witf good effect and the fire confined to the interior of the building, which by this time was all ablaze. Pres ence of seal oil added fury to the flames and the chemical made but little headway in reducing them. Finally full pressure was obtained at the hose nozzle and thereafter the fire was under perfect control.
 Having made such headway be fore the alarm was sounded the flames consumed everything within the building and the native family is now without home. Everything they possessed. except the clothing on their backs, was destroyed, and they are now destitute. Neighbor ing natives lent a helping hand and the family Is now being taken care of by their own people.

not fail to see "Jacqueline'' or "Blaz-

Curwood special production, when
that great new picture is shown at

the cast of this magnificent produc-
ton is Take, a dog of almost super
human intelligence.
Take plays a most important part
In the development of the plot. and
according to Dell Henderson who di-
rected the picture, he was infinitely
easy to handle.
Take knew what was expected OF
him and did 1t almost without a
word from me-" said Mr.. Henderson.
where l would have to rehearse
certain players in certain scenes
time and time again to get the effect
l was after, I merely had to talk
to Take, giving him the idea OF
what I wanted done and, 10 and
behold, it was done!
"All of which, 1 know. sounds
incredible to a great many people.
and to them I can only say that they
don't know Take. He is without a
doubt the most remarkable animal

see his splendid work in the picture
are going to agree with me-"

HERE TODAY
TO FINISH Up TRAINING

Joe Colletti, hyweight boxer o.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y. formerly of
this city, is expected in town this
morning to put the final touches to
his condition at Charley Malone's
Smith street gymnasium, in prepara-
ton for his eight-round feature con-
test at the National Sport Clubs
show in the New Brunswick avenue
Auditorium, tomorrow night.
In former years, an effort was
made to give the fans of this sec
iont "big time" boxing, but in the
promoter matched a highly reputed
performer in the fistic trade with a
poor opponent. The result was
the fans witnessed little real
fighting, and it would have been bet
ter to get two third or fourth raters
from this section to give the fistic
followers a better run.
For tomorrow nights feature
contest, two of the best hywoights
in the game today, ale matched.
Indian Russell, of Harrisburg, Pa.
who claims to be the hardest hit
ter in his class, will tackle Colletti
in this bout.
Russell has been up in his division
on several occasions, his advance
having been checked in one instance
by Johnny Buff, former flyweight
and bantamweight champion. At
another time, frankie Genaro, at
present American fyweight cham
pion, prevented the little Redskin
from reaching the top rung of the
ladder.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-11-08

Little need be said about the fights
ing ability or record of Colletti for
he was a local resident and had a
local manager for a number of years.
A great portion of his success was
due to the activities of Ed Mooney"
Poulsen, popular local sportsman.
There is every reason to believe
that this bout will go eight rounds,
but no matter how long the contest
lasts, the fans will surely see a
great fight.
Great Card
In the semi-final contest, six
rounds, Young Dorando and Jack
Taylor will exchange blows. Both
boys, featherweights, hail from New
ark, and the first mentioned fighter
has victories to his credit over
Knockout Joe Manning, of Eliza
beth, and other good boys in tn
Jersey featherweight division. {
New Brunswick's boxing favorite,
frankie Schroeder, a lightweight, is
to fight frankie Devito. of South
River, in another six, and the third
six will be between Johnny Horton.
of Poughkeepsie, and Joe Jackson,
of Elizabeth.
The special four-rounder for the
light heavyweight championship of
this city, is attracting considerable
attention. "Panny'' Terio and Bat
Ting Hazel, the latter co1ored, are
the contestants in this event. The
opening four-rounder will find Kid
Molly, of the Red Star A. c., pitted
against Battling Steve, of New
Brunswick.

that she wore as the little organ
grinder in the play, wear it at a

she sees Rupert Julian she pulls II
lower over her eye and smiles her
defiance.
