Mr. D. P. BlackwelL who lived abont
3 miles north of St. Pauls, was found
dead near his' home early Tuesday
morning. Mr. Blaekwell went out to
reed some bogs about daybreak and
when he failed to return to the house
members of . the family went to in.
vestigate and found him dead. It was
thought that 'death resulted from na.
tural causes . and no , inquest was
deemed necessary. -
I THURSDAY, DEC. 28, 1922.
. ; TWO GOOD J0BS f
Postmaster I L. McGUl and hia as.
aistants did some extraordinary quick
and efficient work in meeting the
emergency caused by the- fire last
Thursday. Within a remarkably short
time after the postoffice had been
: oeiogeo au we .fixtures and the wa-ter-Boaked
mail had t been moved to
, the third floor of a near-by building,
the temporary quarters had assum
ed the aspect of a postoffice, and
mail was being distributed much as
usual. It is a big job to Jiandle the
Christmas mail under the most favor
able conditions, and it was altogether
admirable the way the faithful post
. office force took on this additional
, load apparently without :battinsr an
eye and without missing a " trick,
winging things tat, line with pre
cision an ddispatch, working like ; a
well-greased machine."? They worked
like beavers, kept their troubles to
themselves, and he public was serv
ed much .i as usual- Maybe the fact
that an el-service "man is at the head
of the force had much to do with the
machine-Uke precision with which the
' emergency was met i
Fire-Chief Ed Glover and his fire
fighters also deserve high praise for
the efficient manner in which tw
handled that fire. With a section of
the second floor of the building
tumbling in before the fire was dis
covered and only a thin plaster par
, tition between that part of the build,
ing and the part occupied by the post
office, they confined the flames to
the section of the building where the
fire started. Four streams of water
, were playing on the fire within ten
or fifteen minutes ' after the alarm
was turned in, and this notwithstand.
ing the fact that a too-eager driver
had run over and burst the first line
of hose that was kid. It i mn.f
cellent work, and the boys were handijc
wo, oy noi naving long enough
ladders. There 'were some ; rumors
insufficient water pressure but
Mr. Glover says the pressure was all
.right
The firemen and the postoffice force
certainly rose splendidly, to the, oc-

gave so many people a form of exer.

been accustomed to. It was a sight
to see the way some of the "sisterin"
and brethren had to pause on the first
landing to puff and blow, and how
by the time they reached the third
