To those on the ground it seemed a long time before the department water s turned on. Three streams were used to check the fire. The wind swept across the street, setting fire to “The Cottage' and the warehouse in the rear of the old A. E. Company building. The cabins on Second street and Hogan's alley were burned.

T. Mershon, former Civil Ser ice Commissioner, to the indictment of the Grand Jury charging him with falsifying a public record, took place be- fore Judge Dunne yesterday. rshon was represented by Attorneys Fuhrman and Bull and the people by Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Whiting. It was argued for Mershon that a Civil Service Commissioner is not a public of- ficer and that the record which Mershon was accused of altering was not a public record. It was also argued that the in- formation was uncertain, as it charged two offenses. District Attorney ‘Whiting replied, and the Judge ordered that the case be sub- mitted on briefs within the next four days and continued the matter till Saturday, when he will render his decision.
