INCORPORATED BY MARCH-1].,

Wicatic resorts in the “cigarette

section” of the city.
Thealarm was turned in, and the
department was soon on the scene
with one lins of hose. The fire had
already gained such headway that the
second reel was sent for. It would
not reach the fire from the hydrant
and the third was brought and the
connections made. Two streams
were played on the burning building
and the flames confined to it, .

The building was a two story frame
structure of nine rooms, and was com-
pletely gutted, and is a total loss.

: The origin of the fire is unknown.
The occupante think it was caused by

@ moat in-

terview with the peeitens which
hasagreed to an incorporation act as

age throagh. Itisfairto expect that
ion will be plete be-
fore the Bret of March.

soon spread to the hall. The inmates
were at dinner in the rear of the
house and only escaped with what
apparel they had on, all losing valu-
able wardrobes and jewelry. The fire
department deserve praise for their
promptness and the manner in which
they handled the hose. Chief McKin-

date of the Macabee ball has been

ehanged to Monday, February 15.;

men of Rosdland: d old too for that

tt bi very much fri;
becausge the officers raided some of the
houses on the hill and were informed
by the police that they would be
wanted in court the next day. Some
of them took the morning train and
some did not wait for it. Some had
business at Trail and others crossed
the line into the reservation very
early in the morning. Possibiy if they
had known they were only wanted as
witnesses, they might not have been
so frightened and remained in town.
However, encugh did remain to prove
that Maud Hunt and Ollie Davis had
sold the Jrinks without a license and
Judge Townsend fined them $100 each
and costs,
