Fire broke out recently in a i
storage house belonging to K.’
II. Nichols of Anchorage. The;
house was located in the alley j
behind the Nichols residence and I
was used as storage for house-!
hold belongings and as a sort of j
office where Mr. Nichols kept his,
records. The alarm was turned j
in but due to the high winds pre
vailing, the inside of the struc
ture was well scorched- It is
thought that the damage will be
less than $100 reports the An
chorage Times.
Evidently the building caught
fire from hot ashes left too close
to the wall. Ashes had been
sprinkled on the ice which cov
ered the walk and the high
winds had probably blown live
coals against the outside wall
After the fire had been extin
guished, in looking over the I
wrecked building, and old-time,
long-barrele, percussion-cap rifle,
was brought to light. It is an old
family heirloom and was used
in the Blackliawk war, which was
fought in 1332. The rifle has
been passed down from one gen
eration to another and is now
more than 100 years old. The gun
excited considerable cur iosity
among the gun cranks of the
city, who pawed it over carefully
trying to make out the age and
the maker of the antique. Inci
dentally the ram-rod was scorch
ed a little, otherwise the gun was
in good condition.

showing of the very fine drama. I
‘.The Strange Cr.se of Lena
Smith,’' the play that wen uni- i
versal commendation from, those j
who have seen it. This play can
be recommended as something
above the average. The plot is.
new and strong and the acting
by all is superb. Esther Ralston, j
the siar. does some wonderful
emotional acting toward the
end that most certainly adds to
1 her laurels as a dramatic act-,
j ress.

New York life, said to be filled
with action from start to fin
ish, living up to its name “Man

But Sue, well, she doesn’t agree

be “letting the cat out of the
bag.” Be sure to see “Saved!”
