March 31.?The third destructive fire to visit Brookland in the last four years came very near devastating the entire town last night. The blaze started at 11:30 and continued for nearly two hours, entirely destroying six houses and damaging several others. The total loss may reacli $10,000 although it is probably slightly under this figure. The fire was discovered about 11:30 o'clock when a house formerly occupied by Brooks Lybrand near the end of Meeting street was found to be in flames. The fire then continued ufraicrhf, nn the street, entirely de T' 7 */ ? 9troying houses occupied by Charles Cannon, C. L. Leach, L. V. Scott, Simeon Lucas and Cleveland Jelfcoat. Four of the houses were the property of A. D. Shull while two were owned by E. W. Shull. The origin of the fire i9 unkown. Boof s Grand Spring Opening. On the front page of this issue Mr. W. P.

Harman, Their Intended Victim, Showed Fight Instead of Submitting. The victims of highway robbery consistently and regularly adopted the tactics of Mr. F. B. Harmon, the shoe man, employed late Saturday night when he was attacked near the northern limits of the city, there would be | a quick end of this crime in this city I although when one recalls the tragic I | end of Mr. Charles Green, who was [ shot to death at Shandon a few years i ago, the highwayman dying at Green's j hands, he is not encouraged to follow j in the footsteps of Mr. Harman, but ! rather to dispose of the matter as j Judge Ernest Gary and many others j have done, by letting the goods go. Mr. Harman, who had boarded a j I 10:40 p. m. car going out to his home, was attacked near Newman's cut, just j after he had left the car with his little j boy. Two white men in oyeralls step- i ped in front of him and demanded J that he throw up his hands. Mr. Har- ! ?"" uVi ft nrV) t riorht". ! I man, uuwcici, ciiunvu u^uu | away, and grappled with one of the I men. The other either fired at him and missed him on account of the dark, or fired to frighten his victim. The little boy, who has a good voice, ? set np a call for help, which fright- j ened the men away before they got j any loot. A9 soon as he got home, Mr. Harman notified the authorities, but al- j though good dogs were rushed to the i scene, no valuable clue has yet been discovered as to who the men were.? The Columbia Record, 2D:h. ? j Easts? Hats at Tapp's. We direct our readers'attention to the advertisement of the James L. Tapp Co. Thej7 are talking about I their "Easter Hats'1 this week.
