T. Brown on north. Alain Btreet, 'a t ‘iinout 6:30, "Tuesday morning. Fire vyaa discovered near a chimney, and With the high wind the flames spread rapidly until the whole rjo f was a mass of flames. Xu a few sec­ onds the partition walls and ceiling of the lower floor gave way allowing the burning material to fall into, the lower rooms. The outside walls were of brick and kept the Are on the ib'side which made it impossible for the fire­ men to-work to any advantage. Neighbors hastened -.to the scene and were successful, in gettibg a large part of the household goods. Though .- only one carpet was gotten oat and about enough bed clothing for one time there have been several eonvic- rion for selling o f liquor under the Beal law. The heavy hand of the committee was responsible for the sa­ loons run by SyjveBter Sherrin, Geo. Dean, Osman Crawford and 'Charles Easley being* closed and several of the proprietors finefi • and all of them later taking up their residence in oth­ er parts* ■ Then there came two con­ victions of Charles Ridgway, a. local druggist, 'wherein he was fined a total of $700 Snd costs. “Doc” Carroll was the next .Victim, who drew $50 and costs. Thomas Mitchell is the last and is up against eleven counts. Thus it can be seen that" the officers of the organization have not been negligent and that the executive com­ mittee has “ stood pat” and made good their promises to the public. ' The liquor element was never so near conquered, in Cednrville, as at the present day, yet there is, hardly a day but that the committee hears o f some new evidence or a probable case. The liquor men and sympathizers are per­ sons who do not give up as readily ns one would, imagine when yovi consider what has been turned egaiUBt them. They are men ■who seek and grasp every opportunity to further strength­ en their jOause. With the situation as it is at the E Sucumbs to the Dread Bright’s ■ y «*•■ ' — Disease; PROMINENT.
