SMYRNA F|REMEN CALLED To
STABLE FIRE IN M|OD[ETOWN
80 NEWLY ARRIVED COWS AT
BAZAAR BURNED
Cattle Had Been Brought From
West For Public Sale-Fire Re-
suits in $4,000 Loss-Insured

Smyrna fire siren was sounded
about five o'clock Friday after
noon and the Smyrna fire engine
called to Middletown where 80
western cattle perished in flames
which consumed the Bazaar and
sales stables of Jacob and Harry
Rudnick on West Green street.
Both the large stables and the
shed were practically destroyed,
Rudnick Brothers who are cattle
dealers recently bought this herd
of especially fine cattle in the west
and they only arrived in Middle
town several days ago and were
placed in the sales-stables. They
planned to have a public sale of
the cattle later this month. The
fire which started in the hay loft
was of undetermined origin. A
large quantity of hay and straw
was also burned. The loss is plac-
ed at from $4,000 to $4,000 partly
covered by insurance. Four fire
companies -Middletown, Townsend
Smyrna, and Odessa fought the
blaze for two hours. Most of this
time they had six lines of hose
playing water on the blaze. Snlyr-
ma, with its modern fire engine
gave valuable aid. The fire which
started APPARENTLY in the hay
spread so rapidly that it was i'm
possible to get the cattle, or in
fact any of the contents, out. Sew
eral nearby business houses fear
ing the blaze would spread to theii
properties moved much of their
stock to a safe distance. This in
cluded William J. Wilson, William
H. Reynolds and others. The fact
there were steel roofs on the burn
ing buildings probably saved the
some other properties as the roofs
held until the fire underneath had
nearly burned out thereby prevent
ing embers from being blown tC
other buildings. The firemen die
good work in preventing the flames
from spreading to other structures
A large gasoline tank on the Rud-
nick Brothers property was only g
short distance from the blaze but
the firemen kept the fire from the
tank. The firemen were unable to
get close to the burning buildings
because of the heat and smoke

WANT $500 TOMORROW NIGHT
Smyrna Post American Legion in
Readiness for Armistice Supper


The last minute review of the
plans for the David G. Harrison
Post, Armistice Supper, to be held
tomorrow Thursday night, No
vember 7th, has been completed.
All committees, under the general
head of Chairman Ralph G. FAIRIES,
handing in very gratifying re-
port of their progress. All indica-
tions this year point to the fact
that the supper will be bigger and
better than ever before. The
amount of money that the local
Legionnaires wish to raise from
their supper is $500, which will be
sufficient to pay off the balance of
the monies borrowed when the sec
ond Ambulance was purchased
several years ago. Striving as
they are to get out Of debt, the
men of the Legion deserve the
public's support. The Armistice
Supper is an annual opportunity
offered the public to show their
gratitude to the local post for the
work that it does. The Ambulance
service, for which the money is be-
ing raised favors neither race nor
creed: it was established for the
same reason that the United Stat
es Government felt itself forced to
enter the great World War For
God and Country; TO date the
public has received the full bene-
fit of this service, while the Leg
ionnaires have unselfshly borne
the burden.

KOSLOsKY PURCHASED FURS ILIAMNA SALE.
 JACK BAILEY, HERE

Unexpected visitors arrived in town today from Iliamna in the persons of Jack Bailey, of Sever sen & Bailey, traders; I. KosloSky fur buyer, and three trappers from the Iliamna district, "Sid" Lohr, Chuck" Pendleton and a third, from Oil bay, whose name could not be recalled at the time. Two other passengers. Walter Taylor and James Sparrow, both Nome business men, also arrived. MT. Bailey stated he knew nothing of Capt Heinie Berger, and the M. s. DiScoverer, wrecked over 8 week ago, as the fishing boat Stanley, which was under charter to I. Kos losky, brot them direct to Seward.
 Regarding the fur sale which the pardnerS held at the bay MT. Bai- ley said MT KosloSky purchased the entire lot which aggregated many thousands of dollars. The skins en- braced mostly red fox but there were also large quantities of mink, land otter, linX, cross fox, wolverine and ermine.
 Considerable territory was cov- cred by MT. Bailey in purchasing fur and he was successful in buy ing at least 25 per cent 0 f h e Westward catch. The volume of purchases was about normal, he added. In disposing of the skins to MT. Koslosky he said he was well pleased with prices obtained.
 Of special importance to Seward is the suggestion MT. Bailey pro- pounded today; next year, instead of holding the fur sale at Iliamna bay he and MT. SeverSen propose to hold it in Seward. This change of plan will permit buyers better opportunity to view the skins and at the same time be in closer touch with the market.
 MT. Bailey's stay in the city is in definite.
