The seventeenth annual grand ball
of Delphi Lodge, K. of P. last Sat

always see to it that their guests are
well entertained, and last Saturday
night was no exception to the rule.
The music by Kausrud's orchestra
was also much enjoyed by the danc­

served in the hall below.

The fire alarm sounded about 7:30
o'clock Sunday evening, and the fire
was located in the G. A. R. hall,
the fire department rushed to the
scene at once, and in a short lime
had a good stream of water playing
on the fire, quickly extinguishing
the same.
The fire caught in the locker, in
which was kept all the parapherna­
lia, records, books, etc., all of which
were destroyed; but aside from this
there was nota great deal of damage
done. The 01 ¡gin of the fire is a
mystery, as there had been no fire in
the building for over a week, and
the fact that it caught in the locker
is another mystery.
