the event of the entertainment. "Spec"
Viken vs. Kenneth Binns, at 115
pounds, in a boxing demonstration.
Both boys were as willing as could be
and went at it fast and furious. It
started as a four-round affair, but
was stopped by the managers at the
end of the third round of about the
spiciest boxing we have over scon.
In the third attraction, Willis Win.
nard and Herb Hynd fought two fast
rounds with gloves covered with lamp
black. This was the only bout in
which the paticipants secured black
eyes.' "Rastus" MoCrow referced and
was beaten up about as bad as the
principals.
Norton Winnard lost two falls in
the fourth event to Cecil Lewallen in
28 minutes. Winnard put up a pret
ty match but gave away too much
weight to his opponent. Harry. Grosh

was sounaea lor tne barn lust

Savings Bank. This property
was recently purcnaseu by W.

tear it down as soon as the wea

started by a small boy who was

experimenting on tne straw cov
ered floor of the barn with mat
ches. The entire roof was burn
ed off. About an hour later pass
ers by on Main Street saw smoke
coming from tbe roof of the S!o-
cum building, occupied by the
City Meat Market. An alarm
quicky brought the apparatus
which was laid and carried to
the roof. It was nearly five min
utes after the hose was laid be
fore water could be secured. At
the first fire a main had bursted
and the Water plant had reduced
the pressure to so low that it
would not run on the roof, As
soon as they were informed of
of the fire they turned it up a
gain and within a few minutes
tbe blaze was under control. The
Johnson Bros., owners of the
City Meat Market, besides the
inconvenience and loss of Friday
afternoons and Saturdays busi
ness, lost considerable meat
i damaged by water. Their targe
; cooling boxes were also flooded.
The loss to the building was es-
tlaJtted at about 1200.00. It is

tire, four lines or hose were laid,
three of these were brought to
the blaze and the fourth was laid
on Main Street in order to pro
tect that section if necessary, On
account of frozen hose only one
line carried water. This was all
that was needed. It left three un
