M’CARTHY BREAKS
ALL RECORDS
Just about ten o’clock Satur.

row and after a half-hour’s fight
the blaze was brought under con
trol.
The building, which was par
tially consumed was the property
of Lou Miller, who has been in Cor
dovafor the past couple of mon

During the past year there
has been three incipient fires,
which if not promply extingui
shed would have caused large
property damage. The prompt
and effective measures taken at
the beginning of these fires has
averted repetitions of the blazes
that consumed the Kennedy,
Chong and other buildings in
the town. Knock on wood.

Though the dance was adver
