Werner opened a meat market in
the place. Within a short time
his entire family died and Wer-

ket, but shortly afterwards his
little daughter was scalded to
death in a_ pickling vat and a
week later Kunz was found dead

BRUSH FIRE YESTERDAY
CAUSED EXCITEMENT

It is a surprising thing to have
a brush fire as early as Easter,
especially when Easter this year

is so much earlier than usual.
Yet one broke out about three
o'clock yesterday afternoon on

tith Avenue, near the Boulevard,
which gave the fire department
an exhilarating rum and over an
hour's hard work. The fire
burnt aeross two acres before it
was got under control but no
buildings were destroyed, All the
residents of the neighborhood
turned out and assisted the fire
boys to put out the creeping
fires.

 

 

Excursion to Port Edward.
This being a holiday, it is ex-
pected that the special excursion

train to Port Edward, leaving
early this afternoon, will be
crowded to its full capacity,
Everyone is beginning to feel a

deep interest in Prince Rupert's
industrial annex and is curious to
pee how the new townsite is laid
out and to form their own views
as to its promising future,

 

Whist Drive and Dance.

St. Andrew's Society will have
