From there to Klinck‘s chopping mill and feed warehouse was but a step and it was not long before the mill was burning fiercely. By this time all members of the fire brigade were working like troâ€" jans and were successful in saving Klinck‘s block and Ruppel‘s corner block from complete destruction, alâ€" though both suffered somewhat . at Ahe rear where the fire had gained more headway. Hornsberger‘s block was . comâ€" pletely destroyed. In this were Româ€" inger‘s shoe store and Schaefer‘s barâ€" mess shop. Much of the stock in these stores was saved, some being damâ€" aged by fire and water. & Was Found Not Guilty at End of Third Trial UEBEC, May 15.â€"(By Canadian wss)â€"At the conclsion of his third al here at the criminal assizes on Saturday before Mr. Justice Monet of Montreal, "Little George" Janous: ky was found not guilty by the jury of having participated in the murder of Toter Kostinlen at Kenogami in July, 1919 Two men have already paid the suâ€" preme penaliy for this crime, Nick Debeka and Gcorge Morhari, _ who Claim Russia is Auxious to Coâ€"operate r'-'ere banged here in July, "Big Mike" Prosho is unds to hang on June 16. nc same murder deloz2te: League that ik.. witi the fledge) : time, po The 1 portes which The Genou c would ce c tien to tis Russic c o from £a ehiefin oT ) it had sec a;;r("“'nfm Rodoiph Valentino and Winiired Hudnut Married Saturday LOS ANGELES, May 13â€" Rodoloh: Valentino, motion plcture actor, a~d Winifred Hudnut. dancer and nuoâ€" tion picture art director known pro | fessionally Natach Rambova, . were married at Mexicali, Lower Califor nia, â€" Saturday. according â€"to dos patches from that town, published here yesterday.

In it were Bulgin‘s restauâ€" rant and the Phonola store, both of which suffered considerable loss. Mr. Bulgin and family lived upstairs in this block and were fortunately all able to get out without injury alâ€" though Mrs. Bulgin had been confin ed to her bed for some time previous. Two families dwelt in the upper storey of the Ruppel! pl.ock and were able to get out with most of their furniture. These were the families of C. Nethery and Noah Krupp. South of the frame barber shop stands Klinck‘s hardware store. Alâ€" though â€" while the fire was at its height it seemed inevitable that this building would go too, but the solid brick wall saved it from destruction Other damage caused by the fire included Klinck‘s optical shop in the Weber block which suffered . from water and smoke. Though the Ruppe‘ block was not burnt the grocery stock was probably rendered useless by smoke and water. Owing to the extensivenes of the fireâ€"swept area and the number of individuals concerned, it was imposâ€" sible to gain any accurate idea of the total loss this morning. It is believed the damage will total . more than $100,000. To Reorganize Local Branch of TLord‘s Day Alliance iThe Kitchener fire department made a quick response when called, lending valuable aid with their big engine and the men of their force. At the call of the local branch of ‘The Lord‘s Day Alliance, the official Boards of the various evangelcal churches. and others interested met in the Bible School of Zion Church on Sunday evening.
